@Dr_Osaka
Surprised they’re still updating that. Might be the last though.

@Shyette
Paper Mario has been a popular choice for a long time now, especially from Japanese fans.

And it’s “Shantae.” Would be cool to have her, especially because she debuted on Gameboy Color.

@Beau Skunky
I think the one that gets me is Captain Toad. In the games Captain Toad can’t jump. And Smash use the jump a lot. Hell Little Mac can even jump.

@igotnopicks
Yeah, I don’t see how he could work, and I think they’re trying to cut down on the Mario characters. (All we got in SSBU was Daisy, and a DLC Piranha Plant. Unpopular opinion, but I actually enjoyed the plant.)

I hear alot of Japanese SSB fans didn’t like the inclusion of Little Mac. I guess because Punch-out is only popular in North America. Same with Metroid and StarFox, though Japanese players didn’t mind all those characters. (And some still want Krytal or Slippy Toad.)

@Dr_Osaka
Calling it: Lucina as Swordfighter Peach and Rosalina as…Peach and Stella (with her using her down-B move a lot in reference to Peach’s ribbon attack).

@Beau Skunky
Little Mac is probably the least popular character but there are professional players that play him very well.

Peanut use the platforms which was said to be a weakness for Little Mac. That and Little Mac is garbage in every aspect of the game. Except KO power. Ganondorf is still bottom tier tho.

@igotnopicks
I dunno, American players like Mac, deapite his flaws. He has other strengths like high enderance, so he doesn’t fly as far when hit, despite his weak recovery specials.

Ganon’s not that bad, I’ve seen some who are great with him.

Any great player can be really good with the so-called “bad characters.” There’s people good with Jigglypuff and Pichu even.

@Beau Skunky
Jigglypuff ain’t that bad in SSBU.
Pichu ain’t bad in SSBU.
Bad Characters are usually on the bottom of the tier list.

Min Min is the most hated character online for Japan.

@igotnopicks
I don’t honestly listen to tier lists, as they’re all made by one person, who has their own personal preferences, and biases. I prefer to have my own opinions, not copy someone else’s, or what’s popular opinion, nor depending on tier lists to validate my opinions.
(Not accusing you of that, but some gamers do that.)

I honestly don’t really have a bottom tier list. I even enjoy characters I’m bad at sometimes. SSB is just fun for me.

@Beau Skunky
Min Min to me is like a mid tier. But I could see why people hate Min Min tho. It’s because Min Min is too damn easy to play and little effort is involved in KOing the character that you face with Min Min.

Steve is considered a top tier in the game. In my mind he is like a high tier in the right hands. In the wrong hands he is the worst character in the game because it takes him two jumps to reach a platform.

So yeah I don’t have a good enough gist on the Smash tier list but there is a kind of official one now.

Kirby is considered a low tier and that is my main. But to me he is easy to play even for the kids that are not use to the controls. And has decent out of shield options as well as the copy ability. To me Kirby should be higher on a tierlist even in Melee where Kirby is bottom three with Bowser, and Pichu.

Let’s not argue the best character in Brawl becasue it’s Meta Knight and it’s not even funny.

@igotnopicks
I remember in Brawl people said Sonic was too OP like Meta Knight, but looking back his attacks were pretty weak, and he has to build alot of damage for an opponent before even attempting a smash attack.
He’s better balanced in newer games, and in Brawl they focused on his spindash too much.

Kirby is usually considered pretty good by most players I know. I always liked Kirby.

Steve is unique, but requires much practice to know when to farm for weapon upgrades and when to attack.

I think MinMin isn’t perfect though, and requires some practice, as her long distance punches can be easy to block with a shield or dodge. She can be fun though.

@Beau Skunky
Oh trust me I know Min Min isn’t perfect unlike Sonic, Min Min doesn’t really have to run time out. And hardly any out of shield options.

Alrighty, time for me to start “World of Light”.

I got two amiibos for gifts for my Bday.

Sheik(Silent) let you guess the color of the Sheik. And Terry(Crews) apparently too.

My current status in getting all the Classic Mode routes cleared:

Speaking of which Been finding myself building my Amiibo collection again, got Captain Falcon from MGC yesterday

Okay I stopped training my Amiibos for today.

My Terry Amiibo is too damn hard. That doesn’t mean that he is beatable.

Meanwhile my Shiek Amiibo just got the buffs and that’s it.

Nice, I’ve only been using my Mii Swordfighter for nighttime journeys.
