What character/characters do you believe have the most potential to time someout out in a match? Peach and Samus are the first two that come to my mind, but I'm curious to see what other people think.

LOL

I like how you forgot the gayest character in this game. And Samus is too slow to time anyone out.

lol at samus timing people out
it has to be mutually agree'd upon or it's not happening

i've had some peach samus matches go to the buzzer, like without trying to

and a marth samus once, but we like let a full minute go doing some stuff or something

puff and m2 are probably top tier for this imo

Fox can circle camp on bigger stages, KJ64 can be used to camp as fox against slower moving/jumping characters (bowser, dk, peach so on)

Puff can do some ledge abuse along with just general defensive playstyle, I don't think she's that good at timing out, just hard to approach correctly.

Peach is in the same boat imo for some stages as-well.

Samus... nah just don't work bruz

All of these characters are so dependent on match-up and stage there's no easy way to pick one.

Also YL on Corneria is lol

I once timed out a Samus, as Falco, in tournament. I didn't even realize how long the match was taking until there were two minutes left on the clock.

Peach vs Young Link is a candidate for the longest overall matchup potential. Everytime I've been suckered into playing it, I end up wanting those 6-8 minutes of my life back.

Massive potential on DK64 for Falcon to run away indefinitely from the whole cast if he so desires.

how can falcon runaway from fox for that long? but i agree that for the most part falcon on KJ64 can definately time out a good portion of the cast.

fox definately probably the best overall of timing people out on bigger stages, however depending on what rules are in place, probably puff is the best cause rising pound is da sht for stalling.

I can see Mewtwo having some potential, but for the most part Puff.

Seriously, if you're not confident off stage, Puff will ping you once, grab the ledge on FD, and you've lost.

Falcon's is faster than Fox though, so I don't fox is the best at running away on big stages, but falcon can't runnaway from fox cause of the lasors.

yea i meant cause of the lasers falcon cant runaway from fox forever. Also fox is a smaller target to hit then falcon, has priority out the ***, and quick moves with little start up, so even if you do catch him hes just gonna hit u and runaway some more, hence why i feel fox is the best at it.

Well, Falcon's nair actually out-prioritizes Foxes whole moveset, so I still think falcons better than Fox at running away on bigger stages, but I do think Fox is better at camping in general.

I almost timed one out as well as Falco. I ended the match with 7 seconds left though. Feels bad.

Based upon watching matches online and ****, Mewtwo's the best at time outs... But once again, that decision is based upon online matches that i've watched... I'd say Fox or even marth otherwise
