of course the people who are the best in the world will be famous. and obviously the people who are the best use top-tier characters and are the best because they use them.
Gimp, Neo, Umbreon, and Simna are famous, well not as much as those guys you mentioned but close to it.
Actually, the good low-tier players are often MORE idolized by random nubs. I see the posts all the time. About how "tiers are stupid and don't matter! Look at Fumi and Taj! They prove that the tier list is crap!!!!!? *insert 9 of the same smiley*"
Mewtwo's not so big. Isn't Mild, like, 6'6"? In any case, I'm taller. 6'10", yo.
making them stand out. that's what i meant. the skill is skill, I was just saying that they'd use top tier characters. it doesn't change their skill, but it makes them better (according to most people. I'm no tier wh0re). and to tell you the truth, people like Chu Dat are skilled, but wouldn't be nearly as famous if they went with fox or marth.
Wrong, it's because of his placings that people even look at Ice Climbers. Same thing with Bum, his DK showed what people can by placing high in tourneys using just DK.
People know Mew2 is just simply worthless. If Taj got first in MLGs, I'm sure people would reconsider.haha you're contradicting yourself
everyone makes my post sound different so that they can quote it. of course you have to place high. but what i was saying was you don't have to place as high. if there was someone as good as Taj playing Falco, he wouldn't be as famous. He'd still be well known, but he'd be overshadowed by M2K and other Great smashers. people look up to the best of their character. that's really what I'm trying to say.Wrong, it's because of his placings that people even look at Ice Climbers. Same thing with Bum, his DK showed what people can by placing high in tourneys using just DK.
So, if it weren't these players placing high with these characters, then people wouldn't look at them. When people see these players doing well with these characters, people begin to realize these characters have so much potential to hold their own competitively. If they didn't high but instead placed low, people wouldn't care about those characters. They would continue to think they are worthless.
I mean, look at Taj. His Mew2 is amazing, but he doesn't place nearly as high as Chu Dat.
Now, look at how many Mew2 players there are
Hell, the same can go for top tiers (Ken showing the world the potential of Marth back when he was the god of smash, or Isai and Falcon).
Fumi has to be the best Yoshi player ever. That guy's insane. He does get the job done. I wish there were more like him, then Yoshi wouldn't place so low on the tier list.
Fumi is indeed very good, but a bit flashy
. Gabe and bringer are also amazing yoshi's, but the fact is, Yoshi deserves his place on the tier list, as he lacks jumping out of shield, and ahs a terrible grab, and shield grab, and no jump out of shield, and gets destroyed by shiek, etc. But he is still adorable! 
Reebok pumps yo!
Wrong, shut up.
You haven't played anyone you try and put your input on and you honestly have no idea what you're talking about.
hopefully you reach fumi lvl of skill. he made yoshi seem like top tier
Wrong, wrong, wrong. Ironically, smash is way more balanced than most fighters that WERE designed for 1v1. In this game, Most low tiers are still usable in specific counterpicks and stages.
