Best teams characters?

[stingers]

Who does everyone think the best characters for doubles are?

And for that matter, worst? (in that they specifically get bad in doubles, not lol ganon )

 

[Kantrip]

Is this where we answer lolmk?

Diddy gets worse in doubles.

 

[-LzR-]

IC obviously are terrible.
G&W and Wario and probably Snake are among the best in teams.

 

[Xnpio]

IMO, Kirby is incredibly strong in doubles...
He's got a lot of damage & kill potential, he can help his teammate recover, his recovery isn't bad due to his multiple jumps...

 

[-LzR-]

Recoveries don't matter that much in doubles when people usually focus on the one onstage to wreck 2v1 while the other guy is recovering.

 

[Alacion]

Zelda is very underrated in doubles.

[Browny]

MK/G&W/Snake/Lucario/Wario

Jigglypuff/Bowser

something

 

[Flayl]

Bowser is the worst team character.

 

[Ussi]

Bowser.. Side B can be interupted.. Grab releases don't work with a teammate on the stage.. Yea the things good about bowser don't exist in doubles..

 

[Roller]

Zelda is actually viable in doubles. Which I find hilarious.

 

[infiniteV115]

MK and characters with good kill power that aren't terrible
So Wario, Snake, G&W, Fox (though I rarely see him in doubles)

Lucario's amazing if used properly, if not then he's aii. Same goes for ZSS.

Pikachu's good too but that's just because of how versatile he is.

 

[zmx]

ZSS and GnW.

Probably the best high tier (read: not top) doubles team out there. They can work so well together.

Obviously Dsmash can fill up the bucket relatively quickly making it a basically 1HKO move. GnW's smashes are also unbelievably strong and his mobility isn't bad either meaning he can really take advantage of ZSS's downsmash further.

Edi:

I actually don't think Icys are terrible in doubles at least on neutrals. They are obviously nerfed but as long as one has a smart partner I still think they could be viable. Once an icys player gets a CG on one of the players, his partner could stop the other from interrupting it. Of course this would only be somewhat feasible provided his partner has a really good boxing out game.

I'm guessing Mario, and Mr. Game & Watch, + Meta Knight (If 3v1).

Because of the fact that I can hold about seventy-five percent of my chance against one of them on level nine...
Sonic: Me


Mario: I'm only able to use melee attacks so it makes it a little complicated for me to fight him.

Meta Knight: His attacks kinda fast, plus sometimes I get stuck in his barrage and it'll probably take me about one point three seconds to realize that.

Mr. Game & Watch: His forward smash is way beyond stronger than mines, and I'll try to avoid his standard special.

All of them against me, I wouldn't have a chance to win.


... and I probably didn't have to explain that?

 

[Ussi]

3vs1 is not a competitive standard as its not on equal grounds like 2vs2. So yes, you don't have to explain that at all.

 

[Moozle]

I was really surprised to see how well Sonic,Pikachu and ROB did in doubles at Apex this year. A good Sonic player can support his teammate extremely well.2v2 allows Pikachu to score some really early kills with thunder, since it's easier to take your opponent off-guard with thunder when you're not the one that hit them into the air. ROB can stock tank pretty well and seems to be better at killing in teams.

 

[Ussi]

Sonic is also good at disrupting team synergy of the other team.

 

[Nicholas1024]

I'm rather surprised nobody's mentioned Pika/Lucas yet. Considering how they can abuse Lucas's magnet for healing (there's a somewhat-tricky glitch that let's Lucas heal 100% from one thunder), it's a rather potent combo.

This guy just won the internet. His logic, it just blew my mind.

 

[Kuro~]

Lucario+GaW>Zss+GaW

 

[Jet300]

Bowser is the worst team character.

No, it's IC. they are nothing in doubles,
they can't do chain grabs at all.

 

[Ussi]

No, it's IC. they are nothing in doubles,
they can't do chain grabs at all.

They can CG as a gimmick like here:

Secondeded.

 

[mars16]

what about mario and luigi.

they seem like a good team accept they both suffer from range and recovery issues....?

 

[Flayl]

No, it's IC. they are nothing in doubles,
they can't do chain grabs at all.

Neither can Bowser...

 

[C.J.]

No, it's IC. they are nothing in doubles,

Not really, no. They still have each attack hit for double damage, get free smashes out of a grab, and still frame trap everyone.

ICs are underrated in doubles imo.

 

[Kuro~]

They just have to have a good partner in all honesty. I'd say mid-tier doubles wise.

 

[hichez50]

Secondeded.

Why would you say lucario is strong in doubles

 

[DeLux]

oh

my

God


ICs are horrendously bad in doubles. If you are saying otherwise, it's unsubstantiated theorycraft that doesn't pan out in reality.

 

[stingers]

you dont understand delux...if you can keep your ICs constantly desynced its absolutely broken with a good GaW player

 

[DeLux]

I am like, the fastest desyncer in today's metagame and have the most versatile desyncing game along with probably top 5 strongest desynced frame trap game in the world and let me tell you point blank, that isn't the answer >_>

The con of desyncing ( a climber commits to an option and is now going to get hit) leads to getting separated in doubles. Then between TWO opponent's that can kill Nana and a teammate with friendly fire, Nana is getting lit up.

 

[Ussi]

Well, ICs would have problems against teams that had like MK, Snake, other high tiers.. Sonic..

But I think ICs could wreck low tier teams.

 

[DUB]

Kirby is high-tier in doubles imo. Controls space really well and has kill potential.

 

[Tesh]

They can CG as a gimmick like here:

I found it far more hilarious that the falco kept shooting tornado, allowing the MK to keep starting it back up again.

Rating ICs in doubles is pretty much a matter of how good Sopo is in doubles. Which is pretty bad I'd say.

 

[Ussi]

I'd say IC's is a gimmick, just the opposite kind of gimmick you usually see in teams.. Team gimmicks usually rely on two characters exploiting a move hard to use (in singles) in doubles by comboing into it/fillingupbucket/healing

IC's gimmick is by having a death grab but now it just requires a teammate to protect them doing it. IC's CG is pretty fast, so it only needs like 30 seconds of protection at most.. And if you get someone off stage, it's gonna be simple to CG the other in the meantime. Again its a gimmick.. most ICs main just don't like the idea of having to work harder than they do in singles. Yea, their CG is easier to break out of now, but its also a bit easier to grab people..

9B doesn't live in the U.S. though, let alone kansas :I

ICs are alright in dubz, they just can't be the better character in the team because then they'll be violated I:

Yes @ Lucario+ZSS > G&W+ZSS btw ;I

Kirby, MK, Snake, Wario, and G&W are most likely the top 5 characters in dubz, then Diddy, Marth, D3, Pika, and a few others follow for dubz high tier, etc. :B

ye ichu:

 

[DeLux]

My desync game is faster than 9Bs.
It's not even debatable >_>

People with knowledge of the IC metagame would probably agree.

 

[Kuro~]

IC aren't garbage in doubles. They're usable. However, if you have a secondary obviously it's better to use that instead. They def aren't the worst though...which is all i was saying. IC+mk on a team can actually be pretty decent. I've seen 2d-jeff do alright with ic in dubz. But he would never seriously use em for dubz cuz he has a pretty damn good wario, toon link, diddy, snake, metaknight, zss, and game and watch. Oh and kirby.

 

[Diddy Kong]

The correct answer will always be Meta Knight and Meta Knight. Also most likely vs Meta Knight and Meta Knight.

Snake is good in teams to, gets gimped less easy, lays traps is a pretty cool guy and doesn't affraid of anything. Diddy is better 1 vs 1, but is still good for teams. Bananas get less in the way than mines for your partner, but Diddy just doesn't likes crowds too much.
