Main/Favorite bias might be the only problem, but hopefully the thoughts of the entire community will balance that out.
Am I the only one that thinks Sonic at least = , if not >, Peach in our metagame now? There's no way he should be in a different tier than her. His national performance is better than...well, most of mid-tier IMO. But people with their "Sawnik suckz" mindsets...sigh >_> Honestly, it bugs me a bit. Sonic is putting so much work in, and he probably won't get the credit he deserves. 2 top 8's in a national, seriously, come on people.
Where do you guys think Sonic stands?
We speak not of Sonic's tier placement in here.
And yeah, you may think "then where else?" afterwards, but trust me on this, it just never ends well no matter what.
Few of us ("us" being the Sonic community) can agree on anything. It's both the beauty and the curse of Sonic's diversity. Look @ the MU thread and just gander at how we can't even come to a consensus on Zero Suit Samus, who is a relatively even matchup no matter what. Some will say she's a bigger threat than others (such as myself) would suggest.
If we can't even do that, what hope is there of other people who don't even main/play this character getting Sonic's placement right?
I'm not suggesting anybody here in particular (still?) thinks this, but I'm almost certain some people believe Sonic's moreorless right where he ought to be... and maybe even then he's "too high."
Except nobody plays Sheik so I have no idea why people are gonna ride that hype train without a ticket.
There really is nothing more we can do except play better, and play more. Even Sonic tells us this:
"C'mon, step it up! *break dance*"
