today I was thinking, who is the least used character in Melee? i'd say Roy is barely used at all. it also seems like game and watch and young link and never used too. what do you guys think?

rofl "that one guy"

Simna? like.. who knows how to spell that whole name eh? or how to pronounce it.

Uhm... Actually I do think Donkey Kong is pretty underused... Roy also possibly.. yoshi and G&W are meh.

kirby is quite used in europe, prolly because we still run lowtier tournamets

probably Ness, not that many play the ICs, though.
Roy is also probably up there, followed by Zelda.

Yoshi has had a few very successful players, not in USA though. To those of you saying v3ctorman, really stop overrating him. His yoshi is awesome and stuff but the only thing he has accomplished is getting to bracket pretty much. Credit should instead imo be given to Svampen ( played at top international level ) Fumi ( one of the best players in Japan ) and Mind trick ( decent placings overall with yoshi ).

I believe both me and him is gonna raep some people in tourney soon ( I've already fked up alot of top players in sweden with my yoshi ;) ).


Yoshi 2good.
Oh and GW is boring as **** and sucks, but I still know 1/2 players who use him for low tiers.


ps. Kirby is waaay better than pichu, you will realise the second you see the top kirby metagame.

A good way to tell is to look at the total number of posts in each character specific section. Pichu is the least used. If you look at a ratio of goodness to use, the IC's win.

Least used characters? Just take the tier list and go backwards.
kinda not true because there would be thousands of puffs. :p

As for least used. Just because you can named 1 or 2 good players with the character doesn't mean they aren't under used. On a pro level I'd say anyone that has under 10 pro's using them can be considered underused.

Ever since Gimpyfish retired are there any more top-level Bowsers? I don't doubt their existence, but I am curious...

Also, who plays M2 besides Taj (and V3ctorman, sort of)?

Bowser, Pichu, Roy, Zelda, and Luigi. Every character has someone who is or was "Pro" with them (Neo with Roy, Lake with Zelda, Gimpy with Bowser, etc.) but nobody really uses them anymore.
