::I suggest you guys enter a high-level tournament sometime. It's rigorous. You feel a visceral tug of difficulty and of intensity that is absent in casual smash with friends. If your games at home and the combo videos you watch are about ''possibilities'', then top tournaments are about ''limitations'', because your matches are so tough you need particular resources just to survive. You need precise technique and quick thinking. You also need a character that can provide you with the tools you need. It doesn't need to be Meta Knight or even a top tier character, but there's a clear difference between a better character and a worse character once you actually feel the tug of difficulty and are forced to make the ''best'' decisions in battle, not merely passable ones. <font face="centaur">&ndash; [[User:MaskedMarth|MaskedMarth]] <sup>([[User talk:MaskedMarth|t]] [[Special:Contributions/MaskedMarth|c]])</sup></font> 17:09, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

::::::He's quite passionate, and he's quite right.  I've watched the combo videos you've referenced, and they don't prove anything about the ultimate ranking of the character.

I've [[User:Semicolon/Treatise on the Existence of Tiers|made all these arguments before]].  The only thing I'll add here is that Shadow Claw and Chain Lightning both showed good Mewtwo and Pichu play, respectively, yet no one used those to say that Mewtwo and Pichu didn't suck.

: They're wrong (do people still do that? I thought the whole Shined Blind craze ended 2 years ago). It's silly to look at combo videos to judge a character anyways, because the whole point of a combo video is to show the impressive stuff that character can do. A combo video can make Mewtwo look good. No, it's smarter to look at actual matches and tournament results.

I'm sure there's a lot that could be said about this, but I'm not going to be all nit-picky since it was a rushed job (or so I've heard, correct me if I'm wrong).  One thing I will point out, though, is why is Falco top-tier while Fox is middle?

== Weight ==

I am interested in knowing why it is considered a ''disadvatage'' when a character is light weight, but an ''advantage'' when a character is heavy.  I constantly read/hear that Jigglypuff ''sucks'' because Jigglypuff is the lightest character in [[SSBB]], or that a ''disadvantage'' of Jigglypuff is being light weight. [[User:Y462|Y462]] <small>([[User talk:Y462|Talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Y462|Contributions]] )</small> 01:53, 10 December 2008 (UTC)
:Most of it deals with knockback.  Characters that are lighter are subject to more knockback and thus are easier to KO.  Heavier characters are generally more resilient to attacks and can sustain more beatings before being KOed.  This is something of an oversimplification, but I hope it gives you the gist of the argument.  [[User:Clarinet Hawk|Clarinet Hawk]] <small>([[User talk:Clarinet Hawk|talk]] · [[Special:Contributions/Clarinet Hawk|contributions]])</small> 01:55, 10 December 2008 (UTC)
::Wow, that was fast.  Anyways, the reason you listed is the one I read/hear consantly.  I still wonder why people fail to realise the ''advantages'' and ''disadvantages'' of being in a certain weight class.  I thought being heavy generally meant being ''easier'' to combo than a light weight character, but at the same time however, that meant being more resistant to star KO's.

:::Falling speed is more of the judge on the ability to combo a character.  While the two are often strongly and positively correlated, it is technically the falling speed that you're citing.  [[User:Clarinet Hawk|Clarinet Hawk]] <small>([[User talk:Clarinet Hawk|talk]] · [[Special:Contributions/Clarinet Hawk|contributions]])</small> 02:10, 10 December 2008 (UTC)
::Being heavy is undoubtedly an advantage. Falling speed can work as an advantage or disadvantage. In Melee, for instance, Fox's fast falling speed made him vulnerable to chain grabs and combos. That's why Jigglypuff had an advantage over him (see [[Space Animal Slayer]]). In Brawl, falling speed mostly messes up with recoveries, since combos are hard to do. [[User:Xeze|Xeze]] ([[User talk:Xeze|talk]]) 02:21, 10 December 2008 (UTC)
:::In the original, it was a bigger advantage to be heavy than light.  From my own observations, since there's no chain grabs in SSB, heavyweights get a bigger advantage than lightweights, but not tall people.  Tall people do NOT have an advantage over short guys.  Short and heavy is the way to go.  Like having a Kirby, but he's a movable statue.  That's my opinion.  Short and heavy.  Short and heavy.

::::::Short and heavy = Wario. [[User:Xeze|Xeze]] ([[User talk:Xeze|talk]]) 18:12, 10 December 2008 (UTC)
Jigglypuff sucks because although she has great recovery, she is the lightest character and doesn't have a good vertical recovery move, unlike Kirby, who is a bit heavier and holds a horizontal and vertical recovery move. Some characters, like Meta Knight, Pit, and Charizard have an extreme advantage due to the fact that the gliding can be controlled. Charizard, being a heavyweight, has a huge advantage. As for Xeze's post above, yes size is an advantage and a disadvantage. A very good player will need to choose characters AND strategies that match the event. For instance, if you ar e in a short stage, you could use a character whose heavy to stay on the stage or you could use a character who is agile and/or can recover well. A good smasher needs to realize that every character has an advantage and disadvantage. If you have any comments, I'm cool with it. For know, I'll post some advantages and disadvantages (if you want to, feel free to cut, copy, paste, delete, etc. to any of my comments).

Mario: Mario is a very well balanced character who has a lot of good moves. This is his advantage. His disadvantage can become severe, though. If a character uses a character-specific advantage (like Kirby's recovery, Sonic's speed, or Ganon's power), then a Mario main will have trouble.

This is the first of the 39(?) character summaries. o_o

:I agree. For example, in the Mario vs Lucario match up, Lucario's specific advantage, his aura proprieties, are a huge problem for Mario. Mario has good and strong moves (specially his smashes) but he cannot achieve a KO below 120% (more or less), because his cape edgeguard won't work well against Lucario (because Lucario is floaty and can Wall Cling). On the other hand, Lucario's power increases with the damage he takes and at 120% his attacks are fearsome. He can rank up damage quickly on Mario and finish him off with either Side Special or forward throw. Mario has a hard time against him.
