You are missing.... a lot. G&W is definitely top tier, no doubt about that. But I fail to see at all how he is better than MK or Snake, and I'd put Falco over him (as well as putting Falco over Marth). I do main him so don't say I have a vendetta against him. :s Why is ROB so low/Ice Climbers so high? |

Olimar can be incredibly annoying but when you work on gimp strategies you see why he is only mid. One grab near the edge and my G&W kills him. |

DK is too good and has gay spacing (but gets raped by DDD). I agree Squiser, I think I've gotten worse I can't play G&W as well now :< (though my marth is better lool). |

lol, PT would piss me off having to learn 3 guys in one, but I <3 the irony of the weak as hell rock smash being stronger than basically everything in the game. g&w is too good, I should really use him properly again. I've been working on loadss of gimp strats with Marth and they work 50/50 with prediction so my g&w took a hit now. >_> I just use him vs Pika/Pit/Falco, kind of ironic for someone I main. :x |

Haha, this post has been sitting ready to make for days and I just forgot it. Olimar can actually be really obnoxious though, and as long as he minimizes jumping, doesn't hang out near the ledge, and recovers as quickly as possible, he's relatively safe from gimping (none of these things are against his general playstyle regardless of recovery). Olimar is probably the single hardest character for Mr. Game & Watch to approach in the game if he plays smart (read: campy). Mr. Game & Watch can be pretty deadly to Olimar once he gets going, but Olimar can use Pikmin Whistle like a get out of jail free card. Honestly, I don't care if his recovery sucks; he's too amazing defensively with too many amazing properties all around to be lower than high tier. The averaged list puts R.O.B. at 8th, and I'm not sure you could really justify more for him. He's definitely good, but he has the major issue that he's just plain not very damaging other than his down smash. R.O.B. also has some problems with aerial specialists; I'm confident that Mr. Game & Watch is a bad matchup for him and would guess that Meta Knight is too (I really don't mind fighting him as Jigglypuff, and look at how low she is!). I have long viewed R.O.B. as "really well suited to be high up on the second tier", and nothing I've seen has really changed my mind there. Ice Climbers are getting theory points more than anything; it's just so obvious they are underperforming right now. Their placement assumes a level of play such that the ICs player ALWAYS kills out of a grab with Nana at hand; it's truly shocking how many ICs players don't do that. The fact that they have a quick instant kill move they can do right out of their shield is a big boon, and even if they don't have quite as much killing power as in melee, they are still the most damaging character in the cast when synched. If anything, I wouldn't be surprised to see them move up with time; the Ice Climbers are easily the most terrifying character in the game. Every other character has to fight them like Ness has to fight Marth (i.e. don't get grabbed... except Ness can live if grabbed near edges and on certain stages in general while a stage hazard is your only hope if the Ice Climbers grab you). About Mr. Game & Watch, his matchups are really just incredible. He goes evenly at worst against Meta Knight, has at worst a slight disadvantage to Snake, has a clear advantage on Falco, has at worst a slight disadvantage to Marth, has a disadvantage to Toon Link (but it's not terrible), has a clear and rather big advantage on King Dedede, and then going down the cast generally doesn't have too many problems (the only characters I worry about that I didn't mention are Olimar, Link, and Ike... and the latter two are probably even while Olimar seems like he should have a slight advantage on paper though most Olimar players are insufficiently campy to be a threat). I'm not really buying that Meta Knight has no disadvantages either... The top group is pretty close though; I see arguing between Mr. Game & Watch/Meta Knight/Snake like arguing between Fox/Marth/Sheik in melee (the funny thing is that Falco seems to have the same role in both games). I also really like the averaged list quite a bit; I think it turned out somewhat better than my personal effort. I am not a big fan of the SBR list; I think they made a few really bad judgments on characters (Ike is WAY better than Bowser, Ness is WAY better than Lucas, Link is not worse than Ganondorf at all, Jigglypuff is not worse than Samus at all, etc.). |

ike lower then bowser definitely threw me for a while, and i agree that ICs should be up there. it seems to me like they're going through what fox went through in melee - insane potential, just no one can use it all yet. other than that, i really don't know enough about the game to make a comment like that =( |

I do realise that a smart Olimar would not be getting gimped all too often, but it still does happen and he's definitely the character that gets most harshly punished. G&W can pressure Olimar at close range, and all it takes is one grab in a game where it's not as difficult as Melee. As you said the most difficult part of that is approaching him (it's still quite possible with Nair approach actually, but you'll still take damage), but once you get in Olimar's range you have a very large range of moves that limits Olimar's options and lets you push him toward the edge and get the grab. That's it, one grab and all of Olimar's hard work is down the drain. It's definitely not the first time a character is regarded as garbage due to recovery (especially because having at least a decent recovery in Brawl is incredibly important). Link in 64 is my primary case, being considered by many to be the worst in the game due to his recovery in a game where you can death combo half the time anyway. He's strong, disjointed, has good range and projectiles, but his recovery just makes him garbage. There's also Link in Brawl atm who wouldn't be that low with a decent recovery, same with Ganon.
That's not so much of an issue as his down smash is highly abusable and can punish often (much like Marth's Dancing Blade), not to mention he's actually quite a good gimper. His KO ability is an issue, but I've definitely seen it worked around. He has so much of what you would want, decent tilts, great recovery, good edgeguarding, you can punish bad DI through an unexpected Fair combo, he can space well and he has quite possibly the most unpredictable projectile in the game. I would agree with the aerial problem though, ROB seems to have problems with people under him or to his back.
Much like Melee. All over again. Potential just waiting to be tapped, but yep, just theory for now. Your Marth vs Ness analogy is somewhat correct, ignoring one vital problem, approach. Marth has a much easier time getting a grab than the Ice Climbers with their poor approach (the fact that they're not the fastest runners and that you need BOTH of them alive to be able to 0-death doesn't make it easier).
I'm well aware that G&W has amazing matchups, but then again, so does a majority of the Top and some of the High tier. I believe that MK/Snake can be just as debatable as Fox/Sheik can be, but I don't understand how you can pull G&W into that list when his position is seen closer with DDD's and Falco's more than it is with MK/Snake. Also, I agree, I believe that MK is disadvantaged against Marth. As the metagame develops I wouldn't be surprised if he got one-two more slight disadvantages.
Ike has NO safe options anymore, not even his Jab. Bowser on the other hand does, his spacing isn't too much worse, he has a better shield game, he's faster and Ike is much easier to gimp. Both kill ridiculously easy, although to be fair Ike does a better job. I'm not experienced at all with Ness vs Lucas, so I won't input on that. Both Link and Ganon are pretty bad with similar problems, but I really do believe Ganon is a lot better than he is being given credit for. Godly tech chase game, great USmash that can combo due to IASA frames, he's actually a good edgeguarder, decent tilts (lol u-tilt) and aerials that are great when autocancelled. I can't admit being too experienced with Jiggs either, but from what I can see she still has her amazing aerial mobility and WoP potential. The thing is... that seems much less effective in Brawl. She no longer has almost garunteed edgeguards, Rest is weaker, you can do a good job at aerial approach now, move deteration kills WoP. Samus has decent combos, can edgeguard well, has a simply amazing spacing game, amazing recovery, decent projectiles and quite a few grab followups. She does however suck horribly at getting a KO, though Jiggs has a similar problem now that Rest isn't nearly as easy to land and can therefore end up being punished quite badly.

My more up to date opinions on how good the characters actually are, now with more ambiguity. Consider the same number an absolute tie; they are ordered alphabetically within a tie, and it doesn't mean anything. Top 1. Meta Knight 1. Mr. Game & Watch 1. Snake 4. Falco 4. Marth Upper 6. Diddy Kong 6. King Dedede 6. Toon Link 9. Olimar 9. R.O.B. 11. Ice Climbers 11. Pikachu High 13. Wario 14. Lucario 14. Wolf 16. Donkey Kong 16. Kirby 16. Ness 16. Pit Mid 20. Ike 20. Zelda/Sheik 20. Zero Suit Samus 23. Luigi 23. Peach Low 25. Fox 25. Jigglypuff 25. Lucas 25. Pokemon Trainer 29. Bowser 29. Link 29. Sonic 29. Yoshi Bottom 33. Ganondorf 33. Mario 35. Captain Falcon 35. Samus Edited by Amazing Ampharos, Jan 3 2009, 05:50 AM.
