The only way ICs can raise now is if they develop an easier to perform chaingrab. The best characters in a fighting always come down to who has the the easiest options to be efficient.I think Wario is staying third for now, but if he was to be replaced by someone, ICs are a good choice.
ICs while incredibly deadly in the right hands, at the moment take a large amount of skill to play effectively.
Pit has been a wildcard since the begining of Brawl when people were calling him cheap.I agree with Crashic, even I have become interested in Pit and I believe many others will do so too, especially since more vids of Japanese players have come out, people will almost definitly try Pit and maybe even Fox.
He has several of the best attributes in the game including a disjointed hitbox, glide recovery, a spammable projectile, and a reflector.
Not to mention the Pit mains have already adapted a repertoire of situational and useful (respectively) techniques. It's very possible for Pit to make a huge leap if the players desire it bad enough.
I did kill a Diddy with just three alone once. The first hit him off stage, the second knocked him farther away as he attempted to double jump, and the third was down glide tossed, bounced off the slant on the stage, hit him while he was charging and killed him.She also gets 3 of the best item in the game at the start of ever game. They are just about a free ko alone.
In the end however it all comes down to the players. I've experienced some pretty amazing stuff in the last month that made me go back and practice with characters.
Jiggz and her rest interrupt are terrifying. Nothing in this game has shocked me more mid match than dash attacking with Diddy only to die.
G&W makes you really feel the weight of MK's weakness of going into freefall after every B move. My UpB, Side B, and Neutral B were all air-rerouted using his upB and upair to where I ate an Fsmash, a number 6 and later a number 9. I fear what will happen if G&W mains learn to utilize this OOS and insynch with airdodge baits.
No ones gonna hand it over to her with all the sleeping potential characters have, but I have my money on ZSS based on her mains. They are pretty spirited.
