Well why would I play DK if I didn't think he was good?
Yeah I agree with the bottom paragraph, I messed up the sheik placement. Sheik is actually pretty good. Edited to put him/her higher
See, I disagree with this. Ike is pretty amazing. He's got ridiculous range (he outranges even DK) and his moves have.. surprisingly little lag for the amout of power and range they have (except for a couple like dsmash that you should never use). If he predicts what you're gonna do, you're toast.
Fox aint bad, he's about the same as Ike. But unfortunately, you can't show even placements; you have to pick someone to be higher. In this case, I pick Ike, if only for his range.
This is
I don't get what the big deal about MK is. Sure he's good, but... he's not THAT much better than anyone else. He's light, he has no projectiles, he has a little above average range... eh. No doubt he's top-tier. But for some reason (possibly a lot of top players playing him?) he got really hyped up by a lot of people, and now no one wants to even dispute him being the best. Think for yourselvesssss
EDIT:
Can someone tell me what's so great about Falco?
I mean... I just don't see it. Is it the chaingrab? The laser? The side-b? Combos? A combination of those?
He just seems... good... but not 4th best in the game good. He has a lot of the same problems other characters have, and his laser isn't that great since he can really only have one at a time (on the same plane). Just shield it.... It's not like Snake's - or even Toon Link's multiple and exploding projectiles, which are a pain to deal with.
And it ALWAYS makes me laugh when people talk about DK's "bad vertical recovery," when FALCO is supposedly the 4th best character in the game. Falco's side-b has ZERO -
ZERO vertical distance, and his up-b is incredibly easy to gimp/edgehog. DK has better recovery than Falco....
