Sue me, I like lists and statistics.
Well we sort of have Singles done or at least molded, but how about teams now? Obviously going through all the possibilities is both impossible and pointless, but perhaps ranks would be interesting to discuss. Teams is interesting because characters that require good spacing like Link and DK have more difficulty in approaching (unless they're far from both opponents), and other characters like Kirby and Luigi have more killing potential by having a teammate which can easily pass opponents (although usually unintentionally) and with everyone more close up, speed loses a lot of value.
So, what are your opinions on who the best characters are in teams, and why? And should I bother making a list individual characters (not teams of characters), even though we have enough problems with Singles?
As a Falcon player, I do find Falcon Punches easier to pull off has it's harder to draw your attention to three other people rather than one, and SS/Tang style combos are always a blast with Falcon. But Falcon's rather bad recovery makes him difficult to use with up to two people hunting him down and Falcon nice speed loses a lot of merit since an opponent is much closer. I would say Falcon is not as good in teams, and his long spread out combos (in terms of across the stage) are easier to escape if the opponent's teammate or occasionally, your teammate disrupts it.
My guess on best team character is probably Pikachu and then maybe Kirby. Fox is a little meh in teams.
