RE: Super Smash Brothers Melee (NTSC) Singles Tier List 06/2017

I like the top few but I am confused as to why you have ganondorf so low? Even below G&W where there are many notable Ganon mains but the only G&W main that I can think of that does somewhat decently is Qwerb. Also confused why you have Ness, Zelda, and Link below Roy, Mewtwo, and Pichu (A character that literally hurts itself when it attacks) And those 3 can really only stand a chance of winning on FD due to chaingrabs?

Sort:  

Valid points, especially when considering the official tier list. However, as I explained in the short texts, Ganondorf's relative popularity hurts him since players are going to know how to play the match up. I would also argue that Ganondorf's placements will keep falling in this fast paced and edge-guard heavy meta. But I cannot argue with the fact that Ganondorf is a more developed character with better placements, even if they were a while ago.

As far as Ness, Link and Zelda; these characters are just awful, especially Zelda and Ness. They lack even the small stage advantages of Mewtwo, Roy and Pichu among other things like Mewtwo's combos and Pichu's Nair. While I can understand your point about Ganondorf since I believe he is a really trash character, the rest of the characters mentioned are justly placed in my opinion.
