Who is the best character in Super Smash Brothers Melee for the Nintendo Gamecube, in your opinion?

IMO, it's Marth.

I used Pikachu when I sucked, and just pwned in the 4ways with Thunder. Then I wanted to actually play and used Falco, he is awesome.

Dunno. I think the second one, but under a different name.

Marth is the main character of the Fire Emblem anime. :oh

Oh and, there are many people voting Marth because they know that, Marth > Roy.

Marth > all. :P

First of all THERES A FIRE EMBLEM ANIME!! WTF why have I never seen this and where I can I find it online! I just beat fire emblem 8 or the sacred stones
And from my experience playing smash bros Roy>Marth always. And Dr.Mario>either of them always

I suck at the game. A lot. But I love playing Roy because he's so pretty and I could never get the timing with Marth down well. Pikachu and Kirby are also fun to play, but only because it annoys people when you use their taunts. :D

I don't think that there is a best character in SSBM, which is what makes it so great.

My best character is probably Ness, though

This is true. Jigglypuff can clear the last Event Match faster and easier than any other character.

Well yeah, that's true. You can view this as a "who's your best character?" thread too. :amuse

He's so good, that one of my friends who is really damn good at it(can beat us 3v1) banned himself from using him and among his other friends who play well. Basically Jigglypuff is the cheese to end all cheese.

But personally I like Ganondorf or Captain Falco.

Well, according to tiers and stuff, the "best" characters or the most imbalanced ones are Shiek, Fox (these two always at the top), Marth and Peach. They are the most deadly when mastered and are almost impossible to beat by say, someone who has mastered a Bowser (who's at the bottom of the tier).

To me, my favorites are Marth, Samus and Ness.

Shit, that's going to be so fun.
It'll rock! we should play sometime by then :amuse

Yeah, like I said. DK = the cheapest shit ever with that groundslap.

The only thing I can think of that has ever made my friends that mad before is when we were little kids and played street fighter. I would do cross over jump kicks when they crouching blocked, sweeps and uppercuts when they were landing from their jumpkicks, and throws as often as humanly possible. Alos, when they were almost dead, I would play possum and wait until they slipped up. If they had ropes, they would have lynched me XD

Honestly, before this thread, my own opinion on the top tier was in no order:

-Marth
-Fox
-Link
-Peach
-Mario

But now, I'm interested in kick ass Shiek players.

Peach was the first character I really owned as in the GC version. Stopped playing as her though, it doesn’t take to much skill with her. Fox is the cheapest one in my opinion.

If you are a god in that game, you can use Ness. I couldn't fully use him, but if you get the trick down, you can't fall off the stage using his trick with his own attack.

Young link also pwned. Old Link was way too slow.

Core
07-12-2005, 03:18 PM
Marth takes very little skill to use. The only skill in it is countering, the real damage most people deal with him is spamming the smash stick. I used to like Marth, but then I switched to Sheik and im loving it. You can't beat that ninja power! :wussfight Then I go Zelda every once and awhile and just hit the B button... KAITEN!!!

Neon
07-12-2005, 03:57 PM
If were talking who takes the most skill to master, then pichu and jiggly are the best.

Pichu of course gives himself damage, and Jiggly has maybe the single best move in the game if you can manage to hit someone with it.

Jack Bauer

Marth's attacks are far more powerful if you manage to hit your opponent with the tip of his sword. Also his smash attacks and movements are far more speedier than Roy's. :)

He's slower, has a weaker vertical jump, falls faster, and has a hard time moving horizontally when sent flying over a cliff.

You don't have to take the tiers too seriously (if you like a character just stick with it) but they are certainly not just a bunch of crap since all the characters are not perfectly balanced, some of them are clearly better than others.

Well, IMO, Mario is better because he's faster, doesn't drop like a brick vertically, and his cape allows him to cover far more impressive horizontal distance than Dr. Mario when attempting to return from being knocked off an edge.

Ah B
07-13-2005, 01:28 AM
Zelda/Shiek is my best character. She can be a damage dealer (Zelda, IMO), or she can be a multiple and fast attacker (Shiek). She can also teleport to escape attacks.

Yes.

JP owns this town.

In addition to have the highest horizontal travel potential (pound, float, pound, float... and eventually rollout if needed) it also has a great hit and run attack with rollout.

BTW, with Rest I find that you need to be right up in their face to hit with it, and even then it may not hit. Anyone know the exact dynamics of how it hits/works?

High skill fights. I mostly play against mates, and they all use fast characters. I have Dr.Mario he's to slow to fight Falco. But in a fight against Falco I mostly dodge until the opponent makes a mistake and I'll combo his ass off xD

HMm let's see

I play as Captain Falcon and Samus the most. Link and DK on occassions.

I met this kid who I absolutely cannot beat at all, like we talking about him with 1 life left vs. me with 3 after a 4 way FFA and he would still beat me. He used Mario 99% the time.

ok, its time for valdens to put his 2 cents into this otherwise lacking thread(all threads are lacking without me). the best character(or at least for me) is fox. he is the fastest, and i dont mean regular speed, but manuverablity, plus the fact he falls fast is a good thing. plus i prees buttons faster than the 35 000 some odd members here(anyone can challenge me to an a button pressing contest). and his gun gets serious damege if you press it fast. he can deflect any attack and fall down slow with his sheild. with his zoomy thing, you can upset an oppenennt and get an edge on them. and his fire move is, in my opinion the best third jump in the game. it is long, the easiest to masnuver, and gives you a second to pick direction. i beat that giga bowser mewtwo ganondorf team amtch in 1 try(occasionally 2) with fox. i challenge any of you to say you are better than me. i will roleplay your ass ssbm style and pwn you.

Marth is sheer pwnage. The supposed best SSBM player, Ken, is a Marth user and just kills. I mean, this guy has tournaments at his house that people pay to get into, just to get pwned. Especially after watching Marth in the hands of a capable player, no doubt he's the best. http://www.ssbm.it/awesomevs.htm watch these and see for yourself. ^^

As for me, Ice Climbers does the trick. They are so annoying that it always gets people off their game when I play them. But nothing can beat Capt Falcons aerial forward + A... the knee. That thing can smash characters out at 70% and it's not even a smash! XD

On a serious note, I doubt any of us on this board are as good as those guys in the videos. I thought I was pretty damn good until I watched them, and then I started crying in shame. XD

The characters I play with the most are,

Sheik
Captain Falcon


I have also won alot of the tournaments at some shop in my town used to hold. Both of those characters have the most combos and also have great speed.

I love this game, SSB was the first game I got on N64 and GC. I used to love owning my friends in this game, but the game disc got scratched up and you cant evan start it any more.

Also Samus used to be my favorite, Im probably as good with him as with the two I mentioned.

I like Gandorf

Gandorf is probably the strongest character or about the same as Bowser, but his slowness kills him.

Actually, based on stats, there is a correct order.
Im not talking about speed or power only, I'm talking about:

1) Combo abillity
2) Recovery
3) Traction
4) Shortnes of short hops
5) Projectiles?
6) How easy it is to KO someone
7) Speed
8) Power
9) Difficulty of high level play
10) Novelty
And alot of other crap I forgot to mention

Based on this, the list is totally perfect.
I'm a "professional" SSBM player..trust me, I know what I'm talking about.
Winning a match comes down to skills, ofcourse...I'm just saying, the best Ness player will most likely get owned by the #1 sheik.

*edit* May I ask what the name of this "dominant" ness player is, and what tournament he participated?

That's not necessarily true. If the Ness player is much better with Ness than his/her opponent is, with Sheik/Zelda, then the Ness player would most likely win. Yet again, it comes down to skill and not stats. After all Sheik may have speed. But Ness has more damaging attacks (his bat smash attack). While one character may be better in one area, another character could be better in a different area. Because of this contrary to what the stats may say, they don't determine who'd win in a battle at all. And really... don't tell me that you believe that the #1 Fox McCloud user would beat the #1 Mewtwo user (who is one of the last characters to be unlocked). Based on my exoeriences with both of those characters, the Mewtwo user would most likely win.

12-02-2005, 09:52 PM
Fox and Falco I think are the best. Their kick moves are killer. Then they have the ray guns and also they have the deflector shield. Used correctly they are undefeatable I have found. Roy tho, is pretty intense. He has the strongest single attack in the game. His fire sword charge up attack is insane. If used at full power, it can KO someone at 0%, the only drawback(a major one at that) is that you can be easily attacked while charging up so pretty much your only chance to use it is when you use one of the items like belossom who puts your enemy to sleep. And watsup with Marth? hes pretty much identical to Roy without the blazing blade, I'd say hes mediocre at best.

Nihonjin

If two people would use Ness and Sheik to their fullest potential, sheik would win the match.

Based on what I know about both characters...I can own the best mewtwo with fox (probably) mewtwo sucks, plain and simple.
Based on reallity, Masashi owns *insert name of best mewtwo, becaues I forgot* without much trouble <___<
Your basing it on your own experiance, but how much experiance do you actually have?
You probably played against people in your neighbourhood, wich is fun and all...but your statement is totally bad, fox would utterly rape the mewtwo to death without losing 1 stock.

Zelda, Roy, and Marth also have deflectlive attacks. Zelda with Fyorra's Love (the blue crystal thing), and Marth/Roy with their (I think) Down+B defense attack (although it's a slightly harder to pull off succesfully than Fox/Falco's and Zelda's). And Falco is definently better than Fox, IMO. He seems to be faster and his rocket attack (-> + B ?), as I call it, is more powerful than Fox's.

And Roy and Marth are from the same series (Fire Emblem), and I think the same game in the series. That's why their so similiar. And Marth does have a blazing blade attack (and it's used the same way). It's just that his is weaker than Roy's.

Edit: Well, I guess I just haven't played any people that good with Fox, Nihonjin. And yes, I really only play the people in my neighborhood. If they are proficient with Fox's deflector sheild, though, then I suppose they could beat Mewtwo. Otherwise, Mewtwo would win 7 times out of 10. Maybe it's because I'm a weak Fox player or something; I don't know. But that's just my opinion.

The only real way Roy is better is that with both at full charge, Roy's Blazing Blade is more powerful than Marth's version of it (or at least it seems to be). Otherwise, Marth is better than Roy in pretty much every way.

Nihonjin
12-02-2005, 10:10 PM
The blazin thing = crap
It takes to long to charge, gives you percentage and isn't that much more powerful that marths if charged and released at the same time -.-
Besides, Marths "version" is a shield breaker, so unlike Roy's fire thingy, its actually useful.

Marth >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Roy

Depends on what type of fight your doing.

I find Link one of the most well rounded characters and is awesome in both free for all, team, and duels.
Id say Fox or Falco are the best for one on one matches. If you can manage their speed and time their attacks just right you can just knock someone's points up and then go for a killing blow.
Mario is pretty exceptional. Hes very easy to play and is also extremely well rounded.
Luigi. He is a rather more complex version of Mario and is also very well rounded. I think hes better then Mario though.

I think it matters your type of play style though. i find Link as my best type of character and I can pull off some wicked ass moves. I annilate my friends in 2 on 1s and hes my favorite to use.
Fox comes in second because Im equally as good with him as I am with Link. I find him more difficult on the 2 on 1 matches but I tend to destory my friends none the less.

I love hearing them praise after killing me once after I knocked off 3-4 of their lives in a 2 on 1 match.

Steps to becoming a SSBM God:
1. Complete everything.(this is a bitch)
2. Beat 3 L9 Foxes(this is also bitch)
3. Beat the pants off of anyone that you ever played against.(People are easier then PCs... well my friends were anyways)
4. Know how to use any character very effectively(In which i mean you could use any character and pound a L9 to oblivion)
5. Win some sort of tournemant or whatever(this is about the only thing I have not done)

I dunno... add more rules cause I think this list is kind of small. I guess beat 3 of every L9 character in the game.
I never really attempted 3 of every character but from what ive done ive found 3 L9 Foxes insanely difficult. They get can get you in a situation and just pound you and then get one swift hit in and kick your ass.

Watching vids will make you slightly better, but tournaments give you EXPERIANCE wich basically necessary to be good.
I'm sure you'll dis agree with me, but once you go to a tourney you'll come to the conclusion that I was right all along.
Vids teach you "technical" skills, but they don't show or teach you the most important part of the game (the part thats played with your mind, mind games).

Ofcourse you could well be able to beat some people, but the standard american tourney player = far above the level of the avarage Home-alone(or with friends) player.

If you're good enough to be called godlike, people will call you that without you saying it yourself.

I might be uninformed about how "good" these people actually are, but I do know how good people get without attending to "professional" tournaments.
I'm far above that level, so based on that I'd most likely be able to 4 stock anyone on these forums.

Watching vids will make you slightly better, but tournaments give you EXPERIANCE wich basically necessary to be good.
I'm sure you'll dis agree with me, but once you go to a tourney you'll come to the conclusion that I was right all along.
Vids teach you "technical" skills, but they don't show or teach you the most important part of the game (the part thats played with your mind, mind games).


I wont disagree with you because I have never been to any big tournaments, so if I did disagree with you it would be just off my views as good.

Also does almost every tourny player wavedash and L-cancel?

What exactly is the competition like at MLG tournaments? Also what do you usually get ranked at them?

Pretty much everyone (except for new people) wavedash and L-cancel.

I've never been to MLG before to be honest, but atm I'm (second)best in europe.
So I'd place pretty high at MLG (No way to be sure how high though).
Probably varies from 1-25th (Out of 30-150 people) depending on what MLG I'd go to.

It was a satellite for a bigger tournament. I don't know what the league was called.

It was in Columbus, OH.

Pretty much everyone (except for new people) wavedash and L-cancel.
Any tips on those manuevers?

I can't wavedash very consistantly. I usually time it wrong and land.

I've looking into duplicating some of the Samus bomb tricks I've seen people do.

And power shielding. That's a bitch for me -__- Even when I think I have the timing, it fails, so I don't do it.

I think it's because Falcon can't rely on out manuevering to compensate for the fact that his hit areas only extent out to his body.

I'd still say that Nihonjin did much better.

But I'm just very curious if we have a SSBM battle. I wonder what would be the outcome?

Everyone is going to refer to their selves in a debate. Only real way to find out is by actually playing each other.

I cant be bad or whatever if the people Ive fought can take out L9s but I dont even lose a life against them in a 5 life match up. I also prefer not to use items because some of those are like an instant kill if used correctly(poke balls are hacks, and that bat? Dont get me started >.<)

Id hardly consider myself casual when i would play 99 life matches with it at 50%. You know how long those matches take? At this moment and time Im what you would consider an ex-SSBM player. I can still spank the crap out of my step brother and his friend without playing the game for acouple of years but i think they would have issues vs a L9 CP.

Also, Omg at that tear list how can Mewtwo be so low, I thought he'd be mid tier. Peach not being higher tier is shocking but Kirby not being at the top is disturbing.. KIRBY IS GOD!

Jordy
12-05-2005, 08:14 PM
Hm I'm quite used to fighting against either Fox or Falco with Dr.Mario.. I'm quite good at the side way and roll dodge plus my timing to turn them around is quite good as well.

I wonder though.. I smash with the C-stick.. Does anyone of you do the same? XD I really have a hard time smashing with my normal stick xD

Fox is definatly better than Falco, its just that Falco is more fun to play against some characters ^^

Nah, my cousin is better at Fox and Id say I look better then he does playing Fox. He is good though. My cousin was fricken good at the game as well. Our matches would always be the best compared to everyone else. Im a far better FFA player then he is though and he has his "gives up" moments which sucks.

Other then that hes a fricken beast with Fox.

Your style is very aggressive. It would be hard for me to adapt to it cause Ive never played against such an aggressive opponent.

If that guy used Captain Falcon I could easily beat him. if he used Fox it would be a tad difficult, of course I find Fox and Falco the best 1 on 1 characters in the game. I kind of prefer Falco because his laser packs a punch unlike Fox's little crappy gun. All that is good for is knocking their % up

Final Destination I find the best for duel matches. it really doesnt matter which character you use its the most basic and flat terrain leaving it up to mostly skill. No items makes it all the more better as well.

Nihonjin
12-05-2005, 09:54 PM

Since you guys tend to jump(A LOT) thats probably the mian reason. Falco is faster and jumps higher then Fox in the air. Fox is a better runner.

I thought the Fox's strategy relied on jumping to much. It left him hanging all the freaking time.

And can we please left how good player is. The thing that sucks about any online smash discussion is you can't get past how good someone thinks they are.

No one start making comparisons to tournament players.

Both the non-tournament players thinking they are tournament level and the tournament players telling people that they'd lose to tournament players are both getting kinda old.

Talk about tournies and talk about casual play, but don't get them all jumbled up =\

1. Captain Falcon (Falcon Punch, MUTHA FUGGA~!)
2. Jigglypuff (Just so I can see my opponent's WTF face when I use Puff's cheap sleeping move)
3. Ness (Really fun to use)
4. Ganondork (Really fuckin' slow, but his cheap moves make up for it)
5. Kirby (Especially nice when your opponent only has one life. You suck him up, jump off of the edge, and GAME!).

IC's 4 top tier! I find that while landing is the best opportunity to desync them
(because Nana won't recover the landing or wavesurf ever) and the roll-then attack combos are the best way to keep them out of sync.

The disadvantage is that Nana is usually against a good player when you aren't attacking, Nana is an open target. Thus you have be as agressive as hell.

On the plus side, they can't block-grab you because Nana will hit them.

I play as Marth, I don't use the c-stick, using it makes you a n00b in my book. I don't wavedash because I'm lazy and it's too much thinking, besides, I kick enough ass without it.

But take Kirby for example, he gets screwed over by the OB being a few feet after the ledge because it negates the floats advantage and it and weakens lightweights.

Take Ness's stage - he can't get out the pits between building with PK Thunder XD

IMO the tiers are made based on the best in Final destination.
