Hahahaha. I don't think so.

The main error with it is that there were too many places that required absolute precision, and backtracking was impossible, so it was too easy to lose due to unfairness.

---

That's why it's so great, you have to actually think it through to get through it.

---

No. You might have a point if we were talking about, say, Kaizo Mario World, but we kinda aren't so you're pretty wrong.

Why was this in General Chat? That doesn't make sense.

I use the classic controller. It's a very good controller in every way except for its Z buttons, but luckily they're utterly useless for Brawl.

It's too early for the tier lists to be formed. Even Smashboards agrees. Plus, that tier list is laughably bad in so many ways.

The only thing anyone can be absolutely certain of this early in the game's life is that Marth and King Dedede are extremely good. Other factors look pretty certain, but it's not possible to completely tell.

Actually he got nerfed.

That's not concrete data. That's not concrete data at all. He's easier to KO than he used to be, and his Giant Punch isn't nearly as strong as it used to be.

I kind of lol'd, not so much at the Marth but at the Dedede comment.

My personal prediction is that most of the characters who were the best in Melee will remain the best in Brawl for at least a year or so. Brawl introduced a lot of new characters with a lot of potential, one of which is certainly Dedede, but there's also a whole host of perfectly usable characters (Lucas, Metaknight, Ike, Olimar, Diddy Kong, even Lucario has potential) and I think it'll be a while before people begin to understand how they interact with the levels. (Furthermore, people need to agree on what levels are acceptable for tournament play, which will take a while as well.)

Almost all the characters have some weakness. Honestly, the only characters I feel comfortable saying are good for certain at this point are Fox and Marth. If you haven't seen Fox's slow-fall shine trick, look for it on youtube. The fact that he can edgeguard so well in addition to an already powerful spike attack (aerial B or up+B) means he should be a badass character.

Then again, I whored Fox in Melee so maybe I'm just being totally biased.

---

Well the thing about King Dedede is that if he grabs you and you're most of the cast you die, and if you're the remaining part of the cast you have to outpredict him not to die. Also he's the strongest character in the game, is great at spacing (only Olimar is better) and is pretty much the most difficult character in the game to KO due to his weight and ridiculous recovery.

I know Dedede has that infinite chain grab, but I thought that was only possible when you have your opponent backed up against a wall.

---

That's not really true at all. Dedede's chain grab is easiest against a wall, sure, but in other situations, he can just run after you and grab you again. Fox, Pikachu, Olimar, Zelda, Mr. Game & Watch, Sheik, Kirby, Squirtle, Meta Knight, Falco, Luigi, and Zero Suit Samus can avoid the chain grab if the Dedede isn't able to predict their moves, though. And Toon Link and Jigglypuff are just flat-out immune to the chain grab.

Luigi, Samus, Donkey Kong, and Bowser are particularly poor-off, as Dedede, if he grabs them, doesn't even need to chase - he can just stand in place and grab them out of the air after he does his down throw, with good timing. Interestingly, Luigi can't be chain grabbed normally, but he can be hit by the infinite one. And of course it works in a wall - it works against a wall on everyone except the abovementioned.

Saint Patrick's Day wasn't actually on monday this year, by decree of the pope, as that would mean it would be on the same day as the monday before easter, which is also a holiday. Since it's a Catholic holiday, that's technically within his power. This year, Saint Patrick's Day is on March 22.

Same. I just think the whole wear green or get pinched thing is dumb.

---

Well once you become an adult, people can't actually do that 'cause it's pretty illegal and you could sue them, so it really becomes more of "wear green or get called a jerk".

What

That strategy is so easily disruptable

Samus has always had a pretty mediocre charge attack, too

I challenge you.

Oh, Charge Shot is amazing. I meant her dashing A.

Also I play Samus so I actually was speaking from experience when I said those tactics are subpar.

It's too bright in too many places, and contrasts poorly against my scheme of choice (Standard). It's a distraction and an eyesore. A perfect example of why I have layouts disabled.
