overrated*-ZeRo is as persistent as Rosa mains claiming their character's bad.
Even the argument that she's overrated hasn't proven true though, especially not recently. Three different Rosalina players placing top 5 at huge international tourneys within one or two months is ridiculous. And if we neglect the probably entirely insignificant usage of secondary characters in case of dabuz and Ray then we're essentially talking about solo-achievements here.overrated*
Nitpicking here, but it's a big difference. No-one in their right mind thinks she's bad.
Rosalina has amazing kill setups/air-dodge 50/50's that will end your stock sub-80%.Rosalina is just an anti-meta character. She gets by without top tier movement or kill setups, I guess because her neutral and brick walling are so good. On paper, she seems kinda bad. Super tall and floaty? Recovery without a hitbox? But Luma is just so good, and Dabuz is gahlike.
More shieldstun when you have a 12% damage item to toss is a big buff.ROB got hit pretty hard by the patch I feel. It became quite a lot harder for him to secure stocks because of the shield nerf. Hail Mary Usmash OOS doesn't work as reliably anymore, and his already poor grab that he thrived off of got worse. His projectiles didn't really benefit from the change that much (although I don't have the numbers).
I was already pretty pessimistic about this character but he sits in the dead middle to me right now.
...Well apparently shield stun on projectiles uses the equation /3.5 +2 instead of /1.75+2, so some projectiles are actually worse this patch than last patch, depending on shield stun multiplier. I'm not sure how ROB's projectiles fit into this.More shieldstun when you have a 12% damage item to toss is a big buff.
5th at PAX Prime. 260 people at that tournament. I'd say that qualifies.When has yoshi ever made serious noise at nats? He's specialist tier at best
Did the yoshis beat anyone good though? "Placing well" isn't serious noise.5th at PAX Prime. 260 people at that tournament. I'd say that qualifies.
EDIT: Also 9th at Super Smash Con with 744 people.
Placing well is serious noise. 9th out of almost 750 people? Also PAX has no bracket posted. Smash Con does but no pools posted. Didn't take out any international level names in bracket but I'm not familiar nearly as much with regional names.Did the yoshis beat anyone good though? "Placing well" isn't serious noise.
I mean his results still aren't even that good. That's about the best AND all of it for yoshi. ROB has way more stellar results and consistency than Yoshi. (Way more regional wins and consistency, actually beating good players too) And all other characters you have paired with yoshi have wayyyy better results across the board.Placing well is serious noise. 9th out of almost 750 people?

My criteria is mainly around results in terms of old stuff. Doesn't really matter if you somehow managed to get an easy bracket up to 7th for example, you'd happily take the money regardless. Results are results.
I'd have Zss/Sheik at the same placement while rosa shares S with mario/diddy/sonic. I really think ryu will be up there soon because of his rewards.So Big house is over and with this it ends a cycle from post diddy nerf to patch 1.1.0, so here is the final results from my tournament data ranking (well I need to verify some data but still).

So far the results are looking pretty much what a tier list would look like:
SS
S
A+
A
B
Notes:
Patch 1.1.1 seems to bring big changes to the competitive scene so by this I think I'll make a new tounament data ranking stating the next national tournament.
- Ike arrived late to the party, so far is sitting at 27th place with only results at Big House 5.
- Ryu keeps climbing I'm pretty sure he is going to be in top 10 very soon.
- Even though most people agree that are good characters they have almost zero representation at national level tournaments.
http://oddshot.tv/shot/tourneylocator-20151004185825719 it looks like it was pretty even/slightly below, so yeah. It was really cool though!In one of the Esam vs Zero games where Esam one, I remember as Sheik recovered from the left side of FD she upb'd from above the ledge to the ledge but still got hit by one of pika's moves? Wasn't there a video by Trifroze showing how if you snap from anywhere above the ledge to the ledge you were fully invincible? If anybody has the twitch link I can see if I can find the timestamp.
I was pretty sure esam pull a 2 frame thunder but I wasn't 100% sure so I didn't mention it.http://oddshot.tv/shot/tourneylocator-20151004185825719 it looks like it was pretty even/slightly below, so yeah. It was really cool though!
From going to "I grab you at 90% and you die" to "you are at 150% and I have trouble killing" is a pretty big deal.I think people were overrating Luigi and underrating him now. He just lost his easy kill setup right? He still has other ones, still has that busted nair and down B gimps? He isn't much worse than he was before.

His Bair is even safer now. It's actually pretty unbelievable, because his shorthop is really short, making it great for pressuring shields since Bair and Uair SH FF autocancel. His up B is also still among the best in the game for everything except recovering. Dtilt is also safer on block, and it's an extremely potent combo and string starter.So... Doctor... Who? Well Doctor Doctor... Oh THE DOCTOR.
Anyways... What you think about Doc in the current patch? I have heard that he is doing rather well atm even tho his recovery is still a problem. Bair and Dair are a bit safer on shield, which can improve his approach options. What you guys think?
Well, I realize she's a good character. I just labeled her as anti meta because she is still a dominant character despite not having the desirable "meta traits" (mostly mobility, but she's outfitted strangely compared to the majority of top tiers.)If Rosalina is Anti-meta I'm Jesus Christ.
You don't sit at the table with the best of the roster for a year after several meta-shifts through balance patches and get to play that card.
