Tournament/Community Articles
Misc.
Hiya! I'm Randall. I do lots of tournament/community-related editing, wrote the bulk of the Luigi article and recently threw together SmashWiki: Smasher Project, which should effectively standardize all smasher article formatting and help cleanup the official SmashWiki representation of competitors worldwide.
I've also opted to use this userpage space to maintain a series of Smash-related lists that I've been trying to keep straight in my head forever. It includes the kinds of things that smashers always want to tell other smashers but nobody wants to hear, such as a list of primary, secondary, tertiary, quaternary, etc. characters that I play. Again, generally people don't care if Dr. Mario is your fourteenth best character, but for posterity I like to keep track of my own progress in learning the game as a whole and I'm a numbers person, so I like tracking arbitrary top 10 lists and meaningless statistics. Besides, on occasion I will offhandedly mention how Pikachu is my second worst character and people will almost always ask who's the worst. Well, here's the place to find out. Mostly these lists will be used by me for my own reference and will change subtlely over time, but if you find yourself entertained by them, I can't very well tell you not to read them--but I warn you...it is a waste of your time.
Arbitrary RJM Lists & Statistics
Strongest SSBM Characters
This list documents all characters in Super Smash Bros. Melee listed in the order in which I am best capable of playing them. However, the list only reflects my skill level within the scope of potential that the character possesses. For example, although I'm sure my Link could defeat my Young Link in an actual match pitted against one another, I have a better understanding of Young Link and the tools he possesses and he therefore appears higher on the list.
- Luigi
- Fox
- Young Link
- Mario
- Ice Climbers
- Dr. Mario
- Ness
- Link
- Peach
- Marth
- Falco
- Roy
- Captain Falcon
- Jigglypuff
- Yoshi
- Bowser
- Mr. Game & Watch
- Ganondorf
- Pichu
- Mewtwo
- Kirby
- Samus
- Zelda
- Pikachu
- Sheik
- Donkey Kong
Strongest SSB Characters
This list documents all characters in Super Smash Bros. (N64) listed in the order in which I am best capable of playing them. My knowledge of the competitive game is not as comprehensive as I once thought it was and since it's rather fallen out of fashion, the list may or may not be concurrent with my current 64 Smash abilities.
Favourite Smashers
A list of my favourite competitive smashers, based on what limited knowledge and exposure to video footage I have had. These are divided by character-specific performances and arranged into mini Top x lists to include all those that I feel are noteworthy for others who are interested in analyzing the high-end game.
SSBB Speculations
The characters that I personally believe will be introduced and dropped in the latest installment to the Smash franchise.
Suspected Roster Cuts
- Sheik - She's gone, first and foremost. Sheik is a passing thing, she's a character from Ocarina of Time. Now that they've upgraded Link to his Twilight Princess rendering, it just wouldn't make sense to include Sheik, who hails from a game that is rather outdated within the Zelda franchise. Whether or not Zelda will acquire a new transformation ability or simply get a proper down+B, I can't quite decide, but I hope for the latter.
- Young Link - Again, just not really as relevant to the Nintendo universe as he once was and being a rather lazy clone of his older self, there's no reason to assume that he won't be dropped from Brawl.
- Dr. Mario - As much as I love the doctor, I think he's going to clone heaven, too. That said, I don't think that being a clone is criteria for deletion from the Smash roster, though. I don't think we'll lose Ganondorf or Falco, and I'm a little on the fence about Roy.
- Roy - I think it's more likely that Roy is going to be replaced by a different Fire Emblem character, which I guess counts as a removal, but still fills the empty slot.
- Mewtwo - We may or may not see this cat again, I'm not sure what to think. I'd rather see Mewtwo again than some crapass new monster from the "Sapphire Version" or whatever gem they've named the latest catalog of 10,000 new creatures. He's certainly more likely to return than SOME pokemon I can think of.
- Pichu - Uh, yeah.
Suspected Roster Additions
- Ridley - A villainous figure from the Metroid] series. Considering he made an appearance in the SSBM intro video in Smash-proportioned renderings, I'd say he's a likely candidate.
- Little Mac - From Mike Tyson's Punch-Out, the little boxer who could most certainly belongs among Nintendo's All-stars.
My Lofty Character Wishlist
While above are my actual predictions, this is how it would go down if I was in charge of choosing the new characters. I can dream, can't I?
- Ridley - Metroid (NES)
- Little Mac - Mike Tyson's Punch-Out! (NES)
- Captain Olimar - Pikmin (GCN)
- Toad - Super Mario Bros. (NES)
- Slippy Toad - StarFox (SNES)
- Pico - F-Zero (SNES)
- Paula - EarthBound (SNES)
- Pauline - Donkey Kong (NES)
- Mii - Wii Channels (Wii)
- Marina Lightyears - Mischief Makers (N64)
There's room for some variation, too. Princess Daisy is one that I wouldn't mind seeing, but I'd sooner have Pauline over her. Pico from F-Zero would be good just to give Captain Falcon some more franchise representation, but I wouldn't be opposed to other notable pilots either. The same applies to Slippy Toad. Slippy tends to be the most loathed of all StarFox characters, but I still think he'd be an excellent brawler. But then again, maybe Star Wolf is a better addition from that series.
Paula from Earthbound is a mighty friendly looking PSI master that I feel would be a good addition, although Poo would be equally welcome in my imaginary roster. The "Mii" character would have to be a baseset of moves that you could apply to your own Mii. If it had a certain degree of customizable moveset templates or something that would be even better. In case you couldn't tell though, these wishes are arranged in the order in which they are most likely to actually occur.
Oh and if you haven't played Mischief Makers but enjoy Smash, go out and play it. Marina Lightyears is so incredibly well suited for the Smash physics engine that you'll surely enjoy the game and will no doubt have a hard time resisting the temptation to dash-dance repeatedly at the end of the boss fights. Mindgames, son!
