Yeah, I thunderstomped someone who was trying to hit me upwards, and it still sent them far enough down to get the kill, even though I was nearly off the screen upwards.

And I don’t know if anyone’s tried this yet, but aren’t Pit’s arrows somewhat easy to stop? I mean, with Bowser/Ganon, I just fair with the right timing and it makes them disappear. Not that that really hinders Pit; he’s great with all his other moves, but arrows and side b aren’t all that devastating unless you aren’t paying attention. But maybe that’s just me.

God why would you guys even look at that. It’s so misinformed and based off of “I think this character is cool so I’m going to put them higher” that it’s not funny.

Oh btw, here’s the japanese character ranking posted on smash boards if you guys haven’t seen it:

latest update: 4/3/08 japan ??? “chara rank” list
***japan is giving mad reps to Ike, Zelda, and Peach apparently atm
with big ups also to Koopa, Samus, DK, Yoshi, and PokeTore
Wolf and ICs broke S-tier, while other charas are losing out in last week’s tourneys.
^/v (up/down) denotes movement from last week’s list
feel free to discuss any errors or z0mg overlookd items

That’s not a tier list. It’s just thier weekly ranking list. They update everytime their is a tournament I heard.

566

What EL said. Various characters go up and down on that thing like a Saigon hooker since it changes every few weeks. It’s still interesting though.

567

Sounds like a pretty good way to do a tier list to me. Results speaks in volumes.

568

results from tournament in md. 68 entrants

Top placers with characters used

1st Azen Zagenite - Pit

9th Candy - Wolf
9th EastCoastEddie - Metaknight

570

Any tier list that gives Koopa/B00zer his due respect works for me :lol:

571

Jump uses Metaknight/Sonic, mostly Metaknight.

572

Bowser is ok in this game. Forte seems to be placing pretty high with a bowser/metaknight combination. I’ll continue to post results from tournaments with notable players as long as they list what characters were used

Lots of familiar faces, and I’m glad Chu Dat is still using the IC’s since wobbles dropped them, leaving only one pro IC player in the US.

574

Hmm, no TL. Good to see some current low tiers placing high. This game is alot more balanced than melee.

575

Gotta give props for the dude who got 5th with DK.

Already I’m seeing the tiers conforming naturally due to obvious results, debates or otherwise.

Damn Pit and Snake…

576

And dedede.

577

and Game&Watch

578

nobody repping zelda :frowning:

579

He lumped Zelda/Shiek into one character and same with Pokemon Trainer then gave demerits to both of them for not having a proper down+B. He lumped Samus and ZZS together. Captain Falcon is near the top and Toon Link near the bottom. He called Snake a Foxhound spy. He included final smashes in his ‘tier’ calculations. The guy’s an idiot and has probably never played fighting games outside the Smash series.

:rofl::rofl: Your avi…:rofl:

581

this has in no way been proven. if in 18 months you don’t see a very definite top tier winning most of the tournaments than you can speak. and i’ll be surprised.
i swear this game is just as unbalanced.

582

Marth FTW!!!

583

Yes, EmblemLord, we all love Marth. Currently, I’m using him and Ganon the most. Gotta prove that Dat Ganon isn’t quite bottom tier. If only he had the old Wizard’s Foot… :sad: Well, the old ground version anyway. Ganondorf was mid in Melee, right? He seemed so much better then… The best heavy for sure.
