Which mid-low tier charcter has the most potential?

[Rainbow]

I think it's possible for low tiers to rise up drastically, and the top 10 or so character might be jostled around a bit, but Yoshi, Ness, DK, G&W, etc aren't ever going to be in S, A, or B tier.

 

[Max?]

Ok.

Play this game for 6+ years and then talk to me

 

[Rainbow]

I think I agreed with you.

I doubt there going to be any really significant changes to the tier list. Pretty much all of the characters potential has been taped. This game is 10 years old after all.

 

[Rainbow]

I just meant like F tier to D tier, or G tier to E tier. It wouldn't really make a real difference, but that's still a drastic change that I think would be possible if people stop playing certain mid tier characters and instead focus on low tier characters.

This thread is fun to read....

Seems i'm still "forgotten"

lets keep it that way ^^

Carry on ^^

 

[Spyro]

I still remember you V3ctorMan...

 

[Purpletuce]

I haven't forgotten you V3ctorman, but most people know of you because of your combo video, but don't know of other good Yoshis. I just chose two really good Yoshis off the top of my head. Also, just because the game is old doesn't mean changes won't occur. Quoting Armada (paraphrasing): Expect YL to go up 5 places in the tier list. Or maybe Amada doesn't know what he is talking about. . .

This game is ****ing 10 years old, you still think there is untapped potential we haven't delved into yet?

You think there's no characters that will evolve? lol...

I remember when people said that the metagame was at its peak back in like 2007. What a joke that was.

 

[Beat!]

Yeah, but this is different, because this is 2012. Sheesh.

It is different. The scene was way bigger back then. It wasn't as advanced as our's, but it had more players, bigger turnouts with consistently large tournaments, and there was less competition which takes smashers away from the game (LoL, UMvC3, Brawl, etc). Two different scenes.

Frankly, we know where every character stands now. Someone may come out and beast with Yoshi, but it's going to be because of the player and NOT because we discovered some game breaking tricks with him.

With gamecubes dying, melee disks breaking, new Wii's/Nintendo systems lack of Gamecube ports, we're playing a slowly dying beast.

Best game ever tho

Its still easy to find melee disks and wii's which have gc ports, we can already burn a disk of melee and i am sure soon we will be able to have rom's of the game. Major tourneys r still near the record numbers. We dont know where everyone stands as of yet b/c of how little the lower tiers get played. Just b/c we r older so life gets in the way of everyone going to locals does not mean melee is dying (yet)

Edit: also the wiiu will most likely have a vc which will have melee on it sooner or later

 

[Grim Tuesday]

Not to mention the current Melee online project.

NAGACE: CD games don't have roms, they have isos. And you can download a Gamecube emulator + Melee iso with ease

 

[N.A.G.A.C.E]

My bad, i have nothing powerful enough to run a ps1 let alone a gc emulator atm so i am not very aware of what u would call the games.

Pessimistic attitudes like these will only ensure the beast dies faster.

Considering that in recent times Marth has dropped a whole tier and Pikachu has gone up a whole, tier I have to think that you're wrong about this. There is still more to learn.

 

[Vudujin]

Melee will never die.

 

[CabbageCookies]

Melee will never die!!

 

[Grim Tuesday]

Melee will die.

 

[Divinokage]

You will die.

 

[Ripple]

if sakurai makes an actual melee sequal, then melee will die

 

[Froggy]

if sakurai makes an actual melee sequal, then melee will die

That's what's supposed to happen when a game gets a proper sequel. It's not a bad thing.

 

[Spyro]

But what is a "proper sequel" and by who's definition? Just because someone may think it's a true sequel does not mean everyone will.

 

[The Star King]

Project M is Melee's sequel, Sakurai will never make one
