Smash Champion
Shamelessly stolen from the SSB64 boards, but yeah, I thought it was a good / interesting thread. I'm honestly not sure if this thread is even allowed, because I guess it's a thread about specific players but it's worth a shot.
The ssb64 thread just listed players, but I felt like leaving some jumbled / unorganized comments. So yeah, who do you really enjoy playing against?
My top 10
1. Silent Spectre (Falcon) - It's like playing in a combo video. He does the weirdest / most awkward things, very unpredictable / entertaining, could play him for hours on end.
2. Mango (Falco, Fox specifically) - Out of all the smashers, playing him teaches you the most. Playing him will rid you of most obviously bad habits, very humbling experience, very tiring though.
3. Lucky (Fox) - Conditioned me to constantly focus / control space. Combos everywhere, quick exchanges, very fun to play against.
4. M2K (Sheik > Marth) - Like the hardest Megaman boss you could think of, except he learns you. He leaves very little room for error, especially against Fox / Falco. He makes every other person feel real easy (or at least less gay LOL). Playing him can be the most frustrating thing in Melee, but if you accept it as a learning experience, it's not that bad / very informative.
5. Armada (Peach) - Very intuitive player imo. He has a very solid setup obviously, but outside that, I feel like he is very openminded / liberal about his move choices. Very hard to get in, doesn't blatantly play gay for no reason, does ******** edgeguards. 10/10 LOL.
6. Chillin (Fox) - Out of all the people I played at Apex, I think I had the most fun against this guy. His old school style was really refreshing. I felt like I was actually playing against a person, not a wall of tech, not to mention we ***** the **** out of each other. Very fast paced player. Super fun.
7. HugS (Samus) - It's like you're playing Brawl, but he's playing Melee LOL. But yeah, very unique experience. With the right mindset, you can learn a lot.
8. Jman (Fox) - Like Chillin, I feel like I was actually playing the person behind the characer. Unlike other players who camp -> long auto combo, Jman trades hits, so faster exchanges / more emphasis on shield game / etc. Very standard / efficient, in the best way possible.
9. Chops (Falco) - One of the few people who makes me feel like I'm constantly defending, like I'm just being assaulted for minutes on end LOL. Helped my defensive game alot, wish there were more aggressive players like him.
10. Cactuar (Fox) - Taught me that wavedash back -> usmash is very, very versatile and hard to get around LOL.
