I'd agree with you if we were talking about Brawl+, but in Brawl, ZSS has too many weaknesses, viz. being above opponents/approaching characters with good horizontal stage control to be that high up. She's certainly better than people are giving her credit for, but I can't see her getting much higher than high tier.
I think what you mean is:

"She's certainly much better than the SBR is giving her credit for."

People usually know how good she is. The SBR doesn't have people in it, though, silly. They have robots.

Yeah.

That's it.

Yea but there are some not-so-smart people out there who will believe what a list made by unknown people tells them. So in order to get THOSE people to believe we have get her on that list.

Imagine a world where people will actually complain about ZSS and not MK when seen in a tournament...:grin:

That's the thing, though. She can do well. It just requires a lot more ingenuity and improvisation on the player's part to work around her weaknesses. That's not really what determines tier list placement, though. Tier list placement is about tournament viability, and ZSS can really only do well if her player is consistently creative and can keep their opponent out of their head. That's the makings of a high tier character, but not top.

She's a really unbalanced character. She has some glaring weaknesses, yet has some features that are pretty extraordinary considering what is usually feasible in this game. Most of her weaknesses can be made up for, but others I find really hard to get around. Her strengths can maybe more than make up for them though in most match ups. She's definitely above average.

Spec, I really think you're overrating her though, 2nd is a bit much sadly

Yeah.

That's it.
The SBR isn't composed of Robots, wtf.

We are all a single robot.

We're the Smash Back Robot.

Updating time!!

EDIT: Updated! There's already a heated battle for Spring '09 first place!

I believe ZSS is top 10.

BTW, i find it hard to KO lucario.
This true But what lucarios want you to do is user your side b alot i just jab use the First jab,and the down tilt alot let my partner hit him from behind but if i had to ko on him after weakening him i would kill him with the down b( not the first frame spike) by surprise thats how i killed Arrancar18 in BattleField.

No doubt now i really find hard to KO Diddy Kong i was playing NinjaLink(yet i should of picked luigi but i was like what the heck let me use ZSS) I didnt feel to bad snakeee lost to ninjalink 2. i think he 2 stocked my kirby and ZSS. I don't like relying on Luigi that much I see Diddy Kong as a bigger threat then Lucario.

4th? You bring shame and dishonor to our boards!
Lol, well are you doing better then?

My brother's at almost every tourney I'm at, and right now he's pretty much an auto-loss for me. I honestly have a much better chance at beating M2K than him. I don't get to practice against his Meta at all in friendlies, yet I'm using ZSS half the time so that's a good part of it :(. He's going to start giving me a little more Meta practice again though.

thread updated! requesting color choices of shlike, katalyst, JamesSparrow, FadedImage, Thiocyanide, Charby, and Holms.

Also any alternative suggestions for black ZSS would be great, because I can't get it to work on SWF at all >_>

I'll get you yet, NickRiddle!

I hope so. I cannot go to tournaments for the next two weeks... Though I might be going to another huge one 4/25, so I'll catch up. ;)

I'll get you yet, Snakeee!

I've got no tournaments until two weeks from now, and the only future tournament I might attend may require me to beat Fatal, OBM, Darc, possibly Ally, and possibly KDJ to earn serious points

....;_;

EDIT: of course, then i see that small tournament snakeee attended, and my mission seems so much easier by comparison

thank you snakeee for inadvertently increasing my confidence for my upcoming tournament

Hey Daz I'll go with purple

I'm going to whobo this weekend so expect to see me placed in top 10 (LOL)

Zss may not be the best character, but she certainly is the most fun.

lol i already explained it to you on aim, but so i don't look like a butt on the boards, I meant the level of difficulty you face (a constant stream of hard) vs the level of difficulty I face.

edit: adapt, adding your result right now

for some reason shlike seems like a cool dude. purple it is.
