The Halloween Captain
Smash Master
For a while immediately after the game's release, people thought Brawl was more balanced than melee. Then Yuna started a thread on it and destroyed all the balance arguements. Then the thread was closed b/c it wasn't going anywhere. Then it was discovered that Brawl has a large number of stand-alone characters, characters that you can main with no secondary.
@mods: please don't close this unless it devolves into a flame war, there is a lot to talk about that hasn't been addressed in the last thread because it wasn't known at the time.
No secondary is required to win a large tournament with Snake, Olimar, Diddy Kong, Falco, Dedede, Game and Watch, or Marth.
Thoughts on the current game balance?I am completely convinced that secondaries are not necessary. He loses nothing worse than 40/60 and has the tools to beat any character if you are good enough.
I'm also beginning to think that ZSS, Kirby, Lucario, and DK can win tournaments without secondaries.
Too many characters are underrated and MK is overrated.
MK is only easy to learn because he's good and because his metagame has been developed massively by top players like Mew2King, Omni, and Forte. The other characters need top players to start developing them to the same degree.
