Holy **** someone call the cancer ward, we got a doozy here.
Real talk, y'all are idiots. Your reasoning is completely off base to hate on Zero or his skill level. See, we have a Melee God already playing the game in M2K, who regardless of whether you like him or not is a very intelligent player. And guess what? He's not better than Zero at Sm4sh, even though he trounces him in Melee. The mental gymnastics you people pull out of your rears to try and illogically justify your opinions is mindbogglingly.
Was thinking about it calling it myself, but I see I'm not the only one who thinks this.
Zero isn't exactly god, but that doesn't mean he's the spawn of satan by default. Treat him as he is- a player. A very good player who is admittedly at the top of the metagame as of this post, but a player nonetheless. If you don't like the attention he gets or think he doesn't deserve it, good for you. Go ahead and prove that you're better at the game than he is. If you worship the ground he walks on, great! But that's also not a very realistic way to think, because chances are he will get trounced sooner or later. I've seen comparisons to Ken thrown around in this thread, and frankly I find that ridiculous. Zero isn't the Ken of smash 4. Nobody is the Ken of smash 4. No game has ever had a Ken except Melee, and guess who it was, Ken. I'm happy for the guy, and I have the utmost respect for him (he honestly seems pretty nice), but I don't think anyone's going to revolutionize the meta as much as that.
People who are asking for a guide from an experienced puff player are certainly justified in doing so (I myself was disappointed in some of the tricks and techniques that were left out), but in what universe is Hungrybox a better alternative? Yes, he's a good player...a good Melee player. Smash 4 is pretty much the exact opposite of Melee- quite literally if you look at the mechanics of each game side by side and compare them.
Besides, assuming that Hungrybox is more qualified JUST because he plays Melee is a pretty terrible presumption. It's that sort of elitist thinking that gives Melee a bad name, which just digs a deeper hole for the majority of Melee players who don't think that way. If you want a really good puff player, opt Mango- he actually knows and cares about how to play Smash 4. Hungrybox probably doesn't, so why bother even mentioning him? I'm sure even he would want to scream at you by this point.
