So yeah it is 5am...anyway...Resident Evil 4 wants me to revive my cube even more. MAGNUM IN THE FACE ROCKET LAUNCHER INTO MONKS. Yeah that fucking trailer rocks ROCKET LAUNCHER INTO MONKS!
I am finally starting to watch all this SSBM footage that I recently acquired and I must say...lots of surprising things. Also finally visited the infamous SWF boards, which seem to have spawned every player to ever win a SSBM tournament.
Surprising things:
Tier wise
Marth is good...but I didn't realize he and Sheik are tied for just pure godness. No weaknesses for either, equal matchup with each other...Evidentally Marth's air game is second to none...from what I've seen he can short hop this really quick double swipe that just about stuffs any other air to air move. Also his forward smash makes edge guarding too easy. His range is DECEPTIVELY long...and considering the tip is the sweet spot, it just makes the deal sweeter. He has a down poke that hits ridiculously far and can be used for shoving you off ledges also. Counter is used sparsely (as it should be), it's like that parry in 3s that throws the other guy's tempo off. Up throw most common most useful cause it's a guaranteed air slash combo follow up. Seems like it's very easy to combo in the air too, f.air(forward air) is guaranteed to combo into another fair or u.air or whatever.
Sheik's darts are annoying as all hell...can't be reflected...truly useful for pissing people off. Her air down a air up a and her down smash are her main weapons, her smash seems to be mainly a combo ender. Down throw most useful from what I have seen.
The space animals (Fox/Falco) and Peach make up the top high tier. No surprise, for they rape everything else. Lots of short hop blastering and shine spikes and shine infinites! (they do exist) make the space buddies a crazy pair. Against Marth though the space animals get up thrown a lot...by a lot I mean 56% or so for free if you manage to snag them at 0% with Marth's throw.
Peach's down smash is illegal, too good. Also her float cancel ability which lets her recover than everyone else L-cancelling is useful, and she can float near edges to just kick your ass. Turnips are fun...fast and very good!
High tier is where some of the surprises come from.
Samus
Captain Falcon
Ganondorf
Mario
Dr. Mario
Jigglypuff
Luigi
Samus is interesting. I don't have much good footage on her, and the SWF people don't seem to either, but they agree that she's good. I find it hilarious that her grappling beam displaces any edge hoggers automatically, and that her bomb jumps enable her to come back from like 500 feet away.
Falcon: Like a space animal...just no lasers and no shine...still very good...his crazy air knee seems to be his best move and easily comboable. Crack rabbity fast, as always.
Ganon: Damn...the ganon footage I have is top notch. I bet this Eddie person is the best Ganon player in the US...somehow managing to go toe to toe with Sheik and the crack animals very well. Truly impressive to watch this player and his Ganon in action. A note, you can chain down throws on Sheik...but Sheik can do the same on you =D
Mario: Didn't know he was so high...I don't have much footage or strategy for him cept caping people off ledges =D
Dr. Mario: Wth? Really? Surpsing as all fuck. I have NO Dr. Mario footage.
Luigi: I sort of guess from how the CPU played him but...again no footage.
