The characters that just leave you like



...every time you pull off a combo.
Those characters whose matches are never boring to watch. You can watch combo videos of those characters all day and never get sick of it. The characters that will have everyone in the room like



...whenever they come out.

My nominees are...
:falcon:
:fox:
:marth:
:mario2:
:falco:

:mewtwopm: is up there too. (teleport combos)

Beyond them, It's hard to choose.

What say ye, Smashboards?

EDIT: and who would you say are the LEAST hype characters? That just put you to sleep everytime someone chooses them?

:falcon:, anyone who doesn't enjoy a good Falcon match needs to stop playing Smash.
:marth:, dem Ken Combos m80
:roymelee:, Sethlons Roy is amazing, and the character in general has some brutal combo strings
:ike:- He's loud as **** and has the most satisfying kill moves in the game
:falco: (PPMD's Falco at Apex was 2hype4me)
:mario2:, His insane movement and combos are just ridiculous, and his wall jump abuse is beautiful too
:ganondorf:, Same principals as Ike and Falcon, just a brutal character to watch
:fox:, I'm not a fan of the character but watching Mango and co. abuse him is great
:wolf:, SilentWolf and chillindude have some of the most hype combos I've seen

I don't really care to watch anything else honestly

:wolf: It's really cool to see a NEW spacie do work.
:snake: His stage control is unparalleled. It's really interesting to see how many ways he can make you blow up.
:lucas: His combo strings are awesome.
:lucario: Same here. OHC is pretty swell.
:zeldamelee: One of the worst characters to play against, but really interesting to play as/watch.
:gw: His combos are awesome and getting judgement to work in your favor is always hype. 9999999

Wolf, Lucas, Snake, Meta Knight, Mario, Marth, Mewtwo, and even King Dedede. The PMBR did an awesome job with them all (except Marth, he's awesome but he didn't get revamped or anything, not that he needed it!) and they get me damn hyped.

Also Pit, but I'm not sure since I only just started watching high level Pit play through Armada at Apex.

Wolf, ZSS, MK, DK, DDD and Ganon are my faves to watch. I love it when the first four pull off sick as **** combos out of nowhere (I also like that in general). DDD and Ganon, cause it just feels so insulting to the other player when they get hit by these 2 monsters.

I'll give you one hint

It's Ike.

In addition, Wolf's combos last for days. I mean, holy hell, just watch chillin' style his opponent to death or Silent Wolf Flash offstage like 60 times.

Hylian's Link is amazing, Pro's Snake is brutal, Armada's Pit is God tier, and Marth is Marth. PeePee absolutely wrecked that one P:M tournie he was in where he dominated v/s Reflex in GF.

I don't like watching clone fights. Fox doubles and the like are boring to this player. Same with Fox vs. Falco. Other than that, any head to head battles that rock the house are great.

My most hype is definitely is Professor Pro's Snake. The guy is just merciless, styling on his opponent to the point of humiliation, then ending it with a C4 just for the lolz.

There's a reason why every time Jolteon says he's streaming, we ask if the Prof will be there. The man really knows how to put on a show.

I love Lucario , so anything with him is awesome (which is cooler because he is underused) I also like JCaesar's Rob. Mewtwo is cool too. I hate watching Fox though, he is just too common.

I'm glad you enjoy watching me, I try to do entertaining for the stream :)
I haven't been on a stream for a while (not once since 2.6 really) but I've been playing quite a bit so I've gotten better behind the scenes. So the next time you tune in it will be hopefully better.

I'm going to start streaming more though, and on my own stream probably so I don't have to be reliant on Jolteon.
We've got all the equipment now, except good mic :(

I enjoy watching,

1. Snake, preferably Professor Pro, Rolex sometimes as well
2. ZSS, mostly Oro?!
3. Wolf, split between Chillin, Silentwolf, Rat, and Scythe
4. Pit, cause I witnessed Armada live at APEX this year and holy balls
5. Roy, only Sethlon
6. Fox/Falco, cause I main spacies in Melee (greatest logic)
7. Falcon, cause falcon
8. Ike, from Ally, metroid, Strong Bad
9. Wario, preferably Reflex or Strong Bad
10. Reserved for Samus, I know some crazy Samus player is going to pop out of nowhere.

Just adding a tenth character since I only put 9 down. Wario, definitely Wario...if only because I like using him lol

So far, I'm seeing a lot of love for :snake:, :lucas:, :ike:,:pit: :lucario:, :zerosuitsamus:, :mewtwopm:, and :wolf:.

How about some of the least hype characters?

I'm still undecided on a top ten, but you guys have definitely convinced me to check out more :snake:, :lucas:, :pit: matches. :denzel:

Looking forward to it.

I do want to mention that you single-handedly made me stop hating Snake. I despise the character in Brawl, being excessively difficult to kill in addition to his campyness, autpilot Nikita edgeguards and other toxic gameplay. To the point where I swore never to play an MG or MGS game ever just because of Snake. After I saw you play, though, I considered picking him up for about a day.

Both of the Mother kids are capable of some serious nastiness. I wonder what sways most people in this thread over to :lucas: instead of :ness:.
Not challenging anyone, just interested to know.



You guys have me seriously considering changing the :ness: into a :lucas: in my sig ;__;

Watching a proficient player of just about any of the non top tier melee character is great. Something different. This comes from someone who mains Marth in this.

I don't watch too much all that often but I have a few characters that come to mind.

Mario
Lucario
Fox
Wolf
Ganondorf
Peach
Zelda
Ivysaur
Samus(Those Ice attacks man)
Bowser

Luigi can be cool to watch too. So he gets an honorable mention. I just don't see him as much.

Oh and Meta is CLEARLY the most entertaining Wolf. All the other guys are just soulless and efficient.

Hate me but I love seeing Zelda play because you can watch the traps get set up and then you can watch how well they're executed once an opponent falls into one.
Plus the satisfying crunch of a lightning kick.

Falcon and dorf are always ridiculous.
Mario goes ham and is always so hype
GnW is always mind-boggling
Also lucario is great because it's always so fast and intense.

:wolf:: Side B
:falco:/:fox:: Anything they do
:zerosuitsamus:: Nairplanes
:peach:: Beam Swords
Honorable Mentions: :yoshi2:, :ganondorf:, :lucario:, :roypm:


Least hype for me (in no particular order):
:ivysaur:: You really like those seed bombs, huh?
:samus2:: Goes without saying
:warioc:: Much Shoulder Bash
:sheik:: CT Ledge
:olimar:: I like the guy, but no matter who plays him, he'll always look mediocre
:metaknight:: Meh
:snake:: My friend made me hate this guy
:mewtwopm:: So uptilt
:rob:: Nothing can change my mind on this one
:zeldamelee:: ...

Also, just player-wise I really enjoyed seeing Sethlon's Roy against Mew2King. It was great seeing that happen, mostly to see more of that epic meteor smash - to the point where I literally dreamed about that Meteor Smash
