Maybe part of the reason he is ragging on you is that you put Falcon below Mario. Heck, I main Mario and even I, given the inevitable bias, knows that Falcon > Mario.

And I play keyboard...but I can't DI. Also, johnz can be valid [you kickboxed me in the face], they're still johns.

And Surri, your examples were scrubbing, not johns. :p

ness needs to be way lower
dk needs to be higher

has anyone even played a decent DK? especially on dreamland?

dreday makes ness look good but actually he sucks =(

sam is definitely low, and link

pikachu and kirby are up there no questions asked

i call you stupid because you are in fact stupid, stop bringing up smash games to try and prove otherwise...look at MATTS! i bet you he beats lots of people i guess he is smart too.....

i am in pps because i am a good player, and refering me to virus, thats just awesome.
(mind you last time me and him played i beat his pika 3-0, 1-3 stock each match and thats WITH the even more ****ed DI then KB)

as for Johns...a John would be "you grab to much" &" laser spam is stupid"
"you can escape combos that normally would be inescapable" is not a john its a reason


allmost every time you post you say something even more stupid then the next...

"still in PpS is because of your show in that crew battle and the fact that you like me do well in doubles"

Teams??? WTF i don't even ever play teams if you knew half of what you where talking about you'd be dangerous
First about that intelligence post: "i call you stupid because you are in fact stupid, stop bringing up smash games to try and prove otherwise...look at MATTS! i bet you he beats lots of people i guess he is smart too.....".....I graduated within the top 20 percent of my class at my high school (of the people who got ranked above me, more than half are going to one of the top 20 schools in the country). I know what the f*** I am talking about. And why do you bring about intelligence in non-smash. This is a smash based board. Did you even read the name of board on what you post?

Learn to combo against people who DI. I am guessing from your response that if you play some person offline and he DI's with an n64 controller like Matt does with keyboard or Virus does with a gamecube controller, you will john to that person that you can only combo vs people who don't DI....as in level 9 cpus.

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
I get this nagging feeling that some people on Smashboards have never actually lived in the real world outside of Smash games. "I gotz gud marks in skool" haha too good

Actually L9 CPUs do DI... they just do the same thing all the time and kinda suck at it. :p

Now will you two stop flaming before anyone makes an even BIGGER fool of themselves?!?

omg i never knew you went to school, **** how could i argue, i am just an inbred newfie D:

no i didn't read the name i was directed here by mistake when i was looking up Dr.Phil

and if you don't know...the whole POINT of why i say your DI is the reason i lose/do worse, is because you CANT get that DI on console, I've seen the top players play, I've kept track of their DI and they don't get out of things like, the first hit of Pikas Fair, 1-2 Utilts from pika, Falcon Uair combos (basic ones) yet you do.

Stop adding in facts (like school grades, book smarts is not the only part of intelligence im afraid, actually knowing what your talking about would help you greatly) that have no relevance. they don't help your argument, they make you look like a ****** xP

Now will you two stop flaming before anyone makes an even BIGGER fool of themselves?!?

If you talk about levels then let's put it this way:

Fox is better then falcon at the same level, but if you put it the way that a noob falcon is better then a noob fox then yes, it's true. But, a good fox vs a good falcon, Fox got this.

I don,t know if you get it. Simply what i mean is that: It's harder to be good with fox but when you're good with him he's better then a good falcon. Don't know if it's better, lol.

the actual specific reason why I give fox a higher tier than falcon is due to all of his approach tactics. Fox's lasers, aerials, and throws allow fox to approach a whole lot better than falcon. The only main way for falcon to approach is up smash, short hop aerials, and in certain circumstances throw, Falcon has incredible combos but is so easy to gimp and has no projectile play. Falcon also besides down air combos and random up b's has problems killing characters if he can't 0 to death them. after a while, the up smash and the throw has almost no combos

yes jiggs before kirby and falcon jiggs ROX
and i personally find samus to be better than everyone i put her above, she is by far the most underrated character... shes clearly not the best... but too many people drop her to the bottom of their lists... shes pwns...

I didnt use decimals, i just clumped characters together with the same number to be about the same general skill (depending on whose hands they are in) and the ones that come first in a category i find are slightly better... and thats my list

Samus doesn't "pwn" because of her crap recovery and lack of combos whatsoever. Falcon is much better than jiggs because he is incredibly easy to pull off crazy combos with.

i dont know about this.

Fox does have a way better approach, but his versatility is not even close to that of falcon in higher levels...

Falcon has massive amounts of 0-deaths on fox, on every stage, and in almost every situation, fox does not.

Fox also uses a Drill which makes most of his combos a lot more escape able then falcons.

Falcons spike is also a factor when it comes to finishers, they both have strong ground based finishers, but Falcon has a finisher for almost every combo situation Aerial or Ground based

but this is saying specifically for falcon vs. fox. and fox has a multitude of finishers from back air to down smash. and at a higher level, fox's only need a n-air, and up air, a wall, or just a laser combo to fully combo an opponent while falcon has to rush to the opponent.

Also, the tier list doesn't just go for specific matchups but encompasses the entire matchups. falcon does worse vs kirby and pikachu than fox does.

Falcons 0 death combo can be escaped with DI. It's pretty rare that you will get hit by the last hit of the combo such as spike or falcon punch, but the problem is after that with your recovery, now there is a chance to get spiked or gimped by anything.
