Took the summer off, recently began playing again. I main Zelda for many reasons. Some of them are superficial, like her graphically impressive moveset. Some of them are more cutthroat - to me Zelda is one of the better characters in the cast, much better than where her current tier-placing...

Instead of trying to smush all the data together with any kind of arbitrary point system, it would be better to just rely on the hard data and let people draw their own conclusions: the seperate charts for # of wins, top4s, top8s, etc. Another useful stat would be # of appearances, though that...

I've had the same thought for some time now but couldn't quite articulate it. Well said.

To be fair, almost every other tier list I've seen has Zelda much too low, but even I think thats overdoing it a little. Ignoring an arbitrary division between "Top" and "High," I suggest this: Snake G&W Meta Marth Toon Link Rob Zelda ... Of course, this is just based on what I've...

Hedgedawg, I think its a good idea for you to drop the argument. Zelda is great, has tons of good matchups against other characters, and doesnt get nearly the amount of respect she deserves, but G&W is just really tough for her. You are correct. I'd say its about 6:4 for G&W. There are...

I'd just like to point out that theoretically, the fact that a certain character has good matchups against good characters is taken into account in the tier list itself. Having a good matchup against Snake is a positive attribute that raises a characters tier standing alot more than having a...

True, but how am I supposed to know when hes being serious or not? I dont know him at all, so unless specifically stated otherwise, Im assuming hes playing his hardest in every moment of every game. I noticed a bad habit that is common to lots of players in lots of games: if he wants feedback...

I only just watched the vs Dusk(Link) video. There were several things that I noticed, but chief among them, I think its important to mention this: If one of your combos doesnt work, the LAST thing you want to do is to try it over and over again until it does. Its an obvious pattern that...

Oh comon, get real. The wii can load a character basically as fast as it wants to - it takes time because thats just a property of the move.

Now that I have a bit more time and have watched more of the vids, a more thorough response: 1) Youre very aggressive in trying to muscle your way into your opponent's usual attack windows. That is, after a whiffed attack at point blank range, I usually spot dodge or execute some other...

Lol, if at all possible I prefer avoiding mirror matches too. You do realize that what you just said applies to every single character in Brawl, right?

Oh its definitely fine to get bored of your main once in a while, but then it seems like its you who are playing Zelda too much, not me. :P Would you mind delineating exactly what appeals to you about other characters (more than Zelda)? Just curious. Here are some reasons Zelda is fun (to...

I mained Shiek in melee so I know what you mean, but speed isnt everything.

Zelda's style isnt for everyone. If you want to beat down opponents with merciless offensive play and juggles, then I'd agree you're better off with someone else. Wholeheartedly disagreed. I find her to be the most satisfying, fun character in the entire cast.

Shiek is better than several characters, just not Zelda, which is why she doesnt get much playing time from yours truly.
