Hmm, Pichu has the highest offense of all characters in the game, right?

I´ve used him some times but not many.

He also is self damaging, so his high output comes with a rather unhappy side-effect.

I've got a feeling I'm going to be on a playing marathon for this since I'm visiting my family for a few weeks...

Both...

But yeah, Link is my main character--i was good with pikachu in SSB but somehow the SSBM controls didn't work for me. I'd like to play roy or marth but I'm too used to the despiration move of link's spin attack and his hookshot cliffhanger

Samus all the way. I rock with Samus. My brother would vote Falco because he's a cheap meany. 99% of his kills are the meteor smash kick (a+down in air).

No he doesn't, Roy and Marth have range on par with godhood. The only reall challenge in using them is hitting with the blade's "sweet spot".


And on the subject of the little mouse that could, Pichu's up and down smashes don't hurt itself. And the up-smash is ridiculously powerful, to boot. Enjoy

Surely, you're joking. Marth (and Roy, who is effective a more powerful Marth) are extremely simplistic to play. They're fast, light, can hit quickly, and like Jack said, the only thing that's really got any challenge to them is the "sweet spot" of the blade.

And just so there's no confusion here, I am a Marth whore.

Let's just say I made my friends loathe Pikachu all over again, especially when you taunt after clearing house with a Bob-Omb.

Eh. Roy sucks. Not fast enough. His range is also slightly less than Marth's. Hitting with the sweet spot though is not really much trouble if you practice enough and have good timing/reflexes. You're totally forgetting about wavedashing and the art of shuffl though which kinda hurts your argument. After all, a simple style of play is not the same as a style of play which takes no skill. You also made no mention of their disjointed hitboxes, which are easily the cheapest part of them. This confuses me.

You're clearly wrong, as you say Roy is effectively more powerful than Marth. They are of equal power, but Marth's sweet spot is at a far more advantageous position. Therefore all your other points are called to doubt by your lack of knowledge of higher game mechanics. Roy sucks. A lot. He's just not fast enough to be good, and he needs to be far too close to the enemy in order to deal good damage. Anyway, again, just because the style of play is simple, doesn't mean it doesn't take any skill.

Neither of these things really make Marth seem more difficult to play. Wavedashing is just as simple with him as it is with everyone else. Its only tough for characters who jump fast like Fox or Samus. Shuffling is also not too difficult. I can do it, and I very rarely play Marth. The disjointed hitbox is one of the many reasons why Marth is so easy to play. Can spam moves like his forward smash without fear of people reaching you. DK would be great if people couldn't hit his arms.

I agree with this part, except one thing. They are not of equal power. Marth is actually stronger. Yeah. All Roy has got going for him is his counter, down tilt for starting combos, and maybe up+b for horizontal recovery (though Marth's is better for vertical recovery, and for actually attacking).

As for the poll, no love for the Puff? Too bad. Jigglypuff > You all

Link. His tactics at moving are good, and well balanced. I like the chain. But the way he fights is just.... So awesome.....

His moves are perfect for backfiring on the enemy.

Ashton, he's easy to play alright, but my point was that he does not take no skill as was said. Yes wavedashing etc. are pretty easy to perform but they still take some practice. I brought up the disjointed hitbox because really it makes no sense for someone who thinks marth takes no skill to not bring up one of his best assets, unless they didn't really know, in which case. Eh you get the idea.

I didn't know Marth was actually stronger, though. I thought it was just the better sweet spot that made him effectively stronger. Good to know.

I guess I understand what you mean. He does take skill to play, just a bit less than other characters. Certain ones, like Fox or Mewtwo, take a ridiculous amount of practice before they are really effective.

I've never really been able to use him. His tilts and throws are great, and his aerial attacks are alright, but he just seems far too light. Recovery is excellent, though. About as good as Peach's.

Well, in my opinion, the biggest strength of Mewtwo is how he plays amazingly differently from anyone else. The different ways Mewtwo reacts with the various stages to his advantage, combined with many of his moves having surprising range and speed, simply allows you to make plays the enemy doesn't expect, and thus can't effectively counter. Certainly, he's far from one of the best characters, but...

He's actually one of the very worst, but any character can be good if you work at them hard enough. I've won my share of matches as Pichu.
Thats kinda like Jigglypuff, though.. very unique playing style. People new to the Puff are a little predictable, but I've found more than enough ways to mix up my attacks.
