Quote of the Day: If Meta Knight is the best character in the game, how come I find it harder to beat Mario!?

Hey, I'm RikotheFoxKid. There's some information about me in the box and some stuff below, so check it out!

Biography
I first played Super Smash Bros. in 2002 at a friend's house. At the time I was unaware of Melee's existance, probably due to the fact that I just learned about the first one.

Since I just started, you would expect I was really bad. The first person I ever played as was Pikachu, probably because I was obsessed with Pokemon (I still like it, but not as much). After a while, I decided to start using Kirby. Then I learned there were 4 secret characters, but I only knew about Jigglypuff and Luigi. Then that ended my playing of Super Smash Bros. 64.

Then about 2 years later, I go to another friends house and find out about Melee. The first person I played as was Ness. I don't know why I picked Ness, but it was probably because at lunch I would always imitate him, going "PK FIRE" and "PK THUNDER". The first stage I ever played on was Temple.

Then another friend of mine got Melee, and I learned about all of the secret characters. Out of the 11, the ones I didn't know were in the game were Dr. Mario, Mewtwo, Young Link, Marth, Roy, Ganondorf, Falco, and Mr. Game & Watch. At this time, I was TERRIBLE at Melee.

But then I got a Gamecube, and the second game I bought was Melee. Now I've gotten better at it.

Like just about the entire population of the world, I anticipated the release of Brawl, and on March 10th, one day after its release, I got it, and I cleared it within a week. To show how much skill I have, within that time, Sonic became my best character.

One of my best friends is also me greatest rivals in Super Smash Bros. We've been competing since I got Melee. He used Dr. Mario and Young Link in Melee, and in Brawl he uses Toon Link, Wolf, and Mr. Game & Watch. I am pretty close to him, and have beaten him a couple of times before, but he has some serious skill in Super Smash Bros. But now I have two friends that are even superior to him. One mains Meta Knight, and the other dominates with Yoshi. I still have yet to beat either of them.

That's basically all that there is about me.

Choice of Characters
With a few exceptions, I'm good with just about any character. So, like Azen Zagenite, you could call me a Master of Diversity.

I also tend to lean towards characters in the Middle to Bottom Tier. I usually am incredibly skilled with them, so you could also call me the King of Low Tier.

I'm mainly good with any character that uses a sword; the only character that was an exception to this for a long time was Meta Knight, until I trained with him; now he's one of my best.

I also prefer fast characters. However, I am still very good with slow characters.

If I had to pick four characters that I can definitely say I enjoy playing as, I would say Roy, Mewtwo, Captain Falcon (Brawl), and Sonic. The two driving forces that keep me playing as Roy are my friend and Neo. Both of them have so much Roy skill that it shows me that I can play as him too. The driving force that keeps me playing Mewtwo is obviously Taj. That guy is a demon with Mewtwo. And what keeps me playing as Sonic and C. Falcon? That would be the fact that I am really good with them, and that I want to show people that tiers are NOT everything!


 * My best character in the original Super Smash Bros. is apparently Samus, although I suspect that it's really Ness.
 * My best character in Melee definitely stands out as Roy.
 * My best character in Brawl for a long time was Marth, but it is now Lucario.

The Most Recent Shocking Thing to happen to me in SSB
I've collected every random CD. When I FINALLY encountered Mew for the first time, it only dropped a sticker.

The Challenge
This is a training challenge that I made up. I use it to train as some characters (mainly Ike and Sonic). Tell me how far you get to with this and with which character. Here's what you have to do:

1: 3 Stock, no time limit.

2: Final Destination

3: No items

4: You can use any character.

5: CPU Level 9

6: Fight every character bottom up in order of the OFFICIAL tier list (starting with Captain Falcon and ending with Meta Knight).

7: Each time you lose, start over on that character. If you win, move on to the next character (i.e. if you beat Captain Falcon, move on to Link)

8: Continue until you defeat Meta Knight.

Current Records
1. RikoTheFoxKid as Sonic (beat Yoshi, currently on Samus)

2. RikoTheFoxKid as Ike (beat Jigglypuff, currently on Sonic)

My Analysis on CPU Levels (for all games)
Level 1: Pathetic. Only good for practicing combos.

Level 2: A little better, but still bad.

Level 3: If you're new to the game, go with this level, but it's pretty easy to beat.

Level 4: Hmm... still pretty bad. Level 5: Now we're getting somewhere! The CPU is at least a little decent now.

Level 6: Getting to the hard part, but not there yet.

Level 7: You may need some skill on this level.

Level 8: Perfect Level for training, and great for Professionals.

Level 9: LEVEL 9 CHEATS! IN MELEE, IT SPAMS GRABBING, AND IN BRAWL, IT READS BUTTON COMMANDS! NEVER TRAIN WITH IT! IN FACT, ONLY USE IT IF YOU WANT A CHALLENGE!

Tier Lists
Okay, I'll be honest, until I found this Wiki I had not a clue that tiers existed! For that long I believed Jigglypuff was the best (REST IS BEAST!!!).

I like the newest update of the Melee List, which I think is a lot more accurate (though I'm still upset about the placings of Roy and Young Link). But I'm not one of those people who throws a fit about it. So if people think certain characters are better, I won't mind, because if you haven't noticed, my Melee characters are all considered the worst (except for Fox), and my second favorite even holds the honor of holding bottom place!

Another thing I would like to note is how the five different tiers are unbalanced. I mean come on, there are 26 characters! You could put 5 in the Top, High, Low, and Bottom, and then 6 in the Middle! But they decide to put 2 in the top and about 10 in the bottom!

Another thing, Mewtwo deserves to be somewhere other than the bottom! So his attacks suck, but his grabs are his main asset! Power and attack isn't everything! But he does have terrible approach, so I would say either Low or bottom of the Middle.

I generally accept the Brawl Tier List much more than the Melee Tier List. I accept the fact that there are some characters that are far superior to others and that it's smart to use high-tier characters. But I'd like to say that I'll laugh in everyone's face when I kick the crap out of you with Captain Falcon! XD

I personally don't listen to the tier list anymore. I think people should use the characters their good as.

My Tier Lists
I have made my own custom Tier Lists for all 3 games. I'll take suggestions, but be aware that I'm not going to accept them all:


 * Tier Lists for games in the Super Smash Bros. series
 * Tier Lists for games not in the Super Smash Bros. series
