imagine this...No B...who prospers?

Ex actly.

Pretty much yup.

 

[Falconv1.0]

Well, true, bit it's also true that MK is far overpowered enough to win without his B moves. Other characters are severely crippled by lack of B moves. Link, for example.

Link is severely crippled facing most chars above low tier.

 

[Jibo]

Sheik would probably fare pretty well, she relies mostly on her A moves to rack up damage/combo/etc.

 

[Kitamerby]

Single Button mode would've been awesome with X/Y jump. :<

Anyways, MK would still dominate.

 

[Da-D-Mon-109]

Man... People are so harsh to eachother... Wowzers...

I honestly don't know who would be the best without their special attacks. I honestly think that a challenging tournament that would make people work harder (or act cheaper) would be to make the B button = another A button, and let the characters go to town. That would be difficult for some people.

I feel weird not being able to carry an Aura Sphere with me. I'm fine with not using it if I don't need to (which would be a heck of a rare momment), but it's like a Security Blanket. I like seeing my Lucario glow with power.... and No B's takes that glow from him. ;.;

 

[Frown]

Well... all characters except for the double jumpers and Yoshi would get gimped in a matter of seconds.

 

[tuestresfat]

Isn't it obvious that olimar would suffer BY FAR the most???
No pikmin? what the hell is he gonna do T_T?!

I guess a close second would be snake losing his nades/C4 and ToonLink completely losing his key long-range game. Snake would still do well but yea I'm just saying its a huge disadvantage w/o his b-moves than w/ them.


imo in terms of tiers w/o b-moves, MK obviously dominates. Marth could be played well depending on your play style. I've seen a handful of marth's do well while rarely using dancing blades or counter. They just use his aerials and smashes more. To those who didn't bother reading thread poster said up-b can still be used so marth's surprise dolphin slash is still game.

 

[kigbariom]

Against everyone else without the b button. Luigi may do well. Fireballs are good, but are used sparingly.
The tornado would be gone, but Luigi's are using that less, at most it is a good second recovery, but nobody will have that.
And Luigi doesn't use his side b, maybe a third recovery. But, yeah.
And Luigi still has his famous UpB, which keeps his ability to kill at ridiculously low percents. Come to think of it, let's take the b buttons off all controllers.

 

[Shy Guy 86]

Marth would suffer a lot since his A moves aren't the most reliable thing, I don't main Marth but thats what I heard.

 

[xoxokev]

...ICE CLIMBERS


duh

 

[Da-D-Mon-109]

Wow. Dude, that's right. All of Olimar's attacks worth mentioning (except for his tilts) REQUIRE Pikmin, which REQUIRE the B button. Olimar would be ***** without the B Button.

 

[Kamikaze*]

Mk would prob still be best.

Diddy would suck because he doesn't have bananas, lol

 

[Roihu]

Isn't it obvious that olimar would suffer BY FAR the most???
No pikmin? what the hell is he gonna do T_T?!

He still has the 3 Pikmin he gets when he starts out.
All he has to do is not let his Pikmin get hit, not die, and hope to get good Pikmin in the start and he'll do excellently.

 

[wh1te5had0w]

it's like taking wavedashing away from brawl you will live
but it would suck

 

[Man of Popsicle]

i personally feel jigglypuff as his rolling move will be much harder to stop due to lack of projectiles

You just said 'no specials'...
Metaknight/Game and Watch/Snake.

 

[damezguy]

lol yeah i was tired when i wrote that. i think i corrected myself somewhere...

 

[fullynick]

09ers.... ( i can say that now lol )

anyway i think that marth would be the only character in upper/high tiers without tremendously useful specials (g&w aswell)

mk - tornado
snake - nades
ddd - waddle dees (sorta)
falco - lasers
Wario - i dunno... i just dont really like him lol

so marth and g/w yeah

 

[Nicole]

DDD, Kirby, Meta, Peach, Pit, Jiggs, and Charizard would do the best, since they would be the only characters who could actually recover. Marth and Game & Watch would be OK. Everyone else would be trash, since they can't recover, and don't have walls of priority like Marth & Gdub to defend themselves with.

uh Marth's side B is one of the best moves in the game, also his Up B is VERY useful.

 

[Jaedrik]

To the non-B falls the noobs

No b moves besides up-B?!?? *fantacizes when that great day will come, all spamming noobs will be no more*... Erm...

1. MK
2. Marth
3. Lolimar
4. Lucario (has some kick-*** aerials)
5. D3E3
... probably more, too lazy to list.

 

[Collective of Bears]

No B... Bah. Just set special to another button.

 

[Tennet]

Why do people keep putting Marth? Side B = greatest punisher EVER srsly...

 

[Super Perfect Cell]

I can tell you who doesn't prosper, Snake. Snake needs his nades. lol

 

[Veng]

Imagine this, no one ever johned about Meta Knight ever again, much friendlier smash scene.

 

[Jaedrik]

Marth would suffer a lot since his A moves aren't the most reliable thing, I don't main Marth but thats what I heard.

You have been mislead in the extreme, sir. His A-attacks are far superior to his B-attacks.
That is unless you're a scrub that doesn't know what strategy is with A-attacks *cough, tennet*

 

[Super_Sonic8677]

I can tell you who doesn't prosper, Snake. Snake needs his nades. lol

uptilt and ftilt sez hai

MK is still best. 5 jumps,uber downsmash,and disjointed crazy fast sword attacks.

 

[trev94]

kriby!!!!!!!

 

[:mad:]

Ugh... why did you revive this thread?
At any rate, Kirby has great specials, and he wouldn't be nearly as good as he is now without them.

 

[Super_Sonic8677]

Less than a week's difference in post dates is not a revival =/

u answered to my post soooo u revived it

 

[Pink murder]

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

I think either kirby or M.K would be best. They don't really need their specials much.

[AndreVeloso]

Metaknight would still the best, his Tornado isn't the thing that makes him great, it's that plus everything else

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Yoshi would have the best recovery without a B button LOL.
