User:Doc King/Made up Tier Lists/1st SSBM Recovery Tier List

This is the SSBM tier list for the recoveries of characters. It was made on April 3rd, 2010 by me, Doc King. This is not an official recovery tier list, but it's a good first recovery tier list. I decided by my opinions, other people's opinions and by watching some pros trying to recover with these characters like I was almost going to put Falcon on Good Tier but watching | SilentSpectre recover with him made me put him on Very Good Tier. I also decided by character's horizontal and vertical recoveries, their choices, etc. So enjoy and comment! Also note that Sheik is not in it because I put her with Zelda because many pros use her as a recovery tool when playing as Sheik.


 * Why is Yoshi so high? Mr. Anon (talk) 00:09, May 19, 2010 (UTC)

Yoshi is so high right now because of his extreamly long and useful double jump and floatiness, but I do admit that when you edge guard a Yoshi, he gets pretty much done for. I will have to make another list pretty soon. Doc King (no account)

Make an account, that's an unsigned post there, even if you put "Doc King". Also, this doesn't seem that well thought out, especially since there's a bunch of "good" recovery tiers and a lone "Bad" one. Also, Yoshi is so easy to gimp, he should be in "Bad" with Dr. M.  --Havoc Reaper '48  01:44, May 19, 2010 (UTC)

 * Explain this. Dr mario and falco are clones with slightly worse recoveries. How does it make sense to put them that low?--Megatron1 (talk) 01:51, May 19, 2010 (UTC)

Well Dr. Mario's recovery is very limited and short and he doesn't have any wall jumps like mario has and Falco has a way shorter up b then Fox. (64.252.134.129 10:04, May 19, 2010 (UTC)) aka Doc King
 * There's no wall jump in Melee. Only pichu can wall jump.--Megatron1 (talk) 14:07, May 19, 2010 (UTC)

Mario, Falcon, Fox, Falco, Samus, Sheik, and Young Link can wall jump too. (64.252.134.129 19:04, May 19, 2010 (UTC)) Doc King (The King of Docs)
 * Didn't know. Dude, make an account.--Megatron1 (talk) 01:42, May 20, 2010 (UTC)

Also, Ganondorf's recovery is very predictable. Mr. Anon (talk) 04:20, May 20, 2010 (UTC)

Yeah but he can go a very far horizontal dictance and a decent verticle distance. (64.252.134.129 19:26, May 20, 2010 (UTC)) aka Doc King
 * Ice Climbers can go a distance with theirs.--Megatron1 (talk) 04:21, May 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * While I technically have melee, it won't read, so what are the IC's recovery like in melee, just for curiosity, if tethers weren't around at the time? Mr. Anon (talk) 05:33, May 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * Well, if by tethers, you mean the other ice climber, the recovery is one of the worst in Melee. Normal usage makes you go higher than just about any other recovery.--Megatron1 (talk) 14:05, May 20, 2010 (UTC)

Hey guys just to let you know I will eventually make an account in the future and thanks guys for the ideas for character recoveries. (64.252.134.129 19:19, May 20, 2010 (UTC)) aka Doc King

Thank You! Doc King (talk) 22:58, May 31, 2010 (UTC)

Dude. Why is Link that high? He only has Spin Attack and a grapple hook that barely homes in on ledges.-Ivy73 (talk) 14:53, June 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * Ever heard of the bomb recovery?Mr. Anon (talk) 01:51, June 3, 2010 (UTC)

Also, shouldn't Yoshi be at the bottom?Mr. Anon (talk) 01:54, June 3, 2010 (UTC)


 * Yes I have heard of the bomb recovery. But when you do recover from it your damage is so high that it's an easy KO for the opponent.-Ivy73 (talk) 23:47, June 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * It doesn't matter. This is just a tier list of recoveries. In any case, Link has the hookshot. Mr. Anon (talk) 23:50, June 3, 2010 (UTC)


 * Yeah, A really bad recovery list at that.-Ivy73 (talk) 23:53, June 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * I agree that the list isn't the best, (Yoshi's recovery is not better than Dr. Mario's), but it is somewhat accurate. Mr. Anon (talk) 00:43, June 4, 2010 (UTC)

This is only the first one and I do admit that it's not the best, I will make another one at some point! Doc King (talk) 19:04, June 4, 2010 (UTC)

Well it was a good idea to make it but I will be happy to see an improved one soon. I use peach a lot and she does not deserve that high. Justpeachy (talk) 14:16, June 5, 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, I'll see if I can replace Peach with Samus or something in the next list. Doc King (talk) 15:40, June 5, 2010 (UTC)
