I think tier list discussions are really fun because they let you think about the game in abstract or “ideal” terms, which is enjoyable in a thought-experiment kind of way, especially for people will never get to play at that ideal. They get annoying when people (usually new players) start to use them as actual representations of how the game is played.

There's also the difference between what's practically ideal for a human and what's ideal in theory. The line between the two is often both overestimated and underestimated, particularly by newer players, but really everyone to some degree. But that's what makes Melee great-it's far from objective and will always be pushed as long as people are playing.

IC's without wobbling are the same type of character as Yoshi, sure they have stuff but you have to work way harder than with most other characters to actually meet that.

This is my favorite tier list I've seen from a top player/notable community so far in all my years of Melee. I think utility should be the standard for ranking characters for everyone from now on. Plus I really like that you acknowledge that the miniscule differences between characters really doesn't matter at all. Overall I entirely agree with this list except for a three things. I'd move Mewtwo to D or D.5, Link to D.5, and Pichu to E. If we're talking utility, Mewtwo has the best recovery in the game, which should be valued higher imo. I also think his potential if pushed harder with up-b edge cancels and other tech just make him a stronger character than Roy or G&W. His movement has the potential for him to reliably get out of the corner for free basically. So between that and his recovery he has some strengths that allow him effectively skip past certain parts of the game, kind of like Puff. Link I would move down because he doesn't offer anything the other characters above him can. Sure he has fewer weaknesses and some better matchups than YL. But this is a utility tier list, not a viability tier list. And I think Pichu should be moved up because his weaknesses aren't as bad as they seem imo. Damaging himself often doesn't contribute all that much to a stock. And he can deal with cc to an extent because he has good enough aerial drift to cross up well. Between that and how strong his movement and nair are, I think he's solidly in E tier.

I think this is the better way to order a tierlist honestly, haven't thought about it before this before either. About IC's I do think it's both fair and unfair to say you could just learn the new cool desyncs and punishes, if we patched out jump out of shine to nerf Fox and Falco, I think we would see a lot of Spacies swap away from them even if many things still would be the same, like Fox up throw uair, ledgedash turnaround uptilt and so forth. People would still compain a LOT instead of trying to find new ways around new problems.

can't say i expected to see a real fox in this video but it was a pleasant surprise

Nice video

Rishi talking meta is such a chad

Being a utility based tier list I feel Zelda should be way higher, since you are never really forced to play her and the few good things she has (recovery mostly) are pretty good when they are good

🔥

Looks about right to me

Damn you're so lucky, I don't think I've ever seen a fox in the wild where I live, let alone had one walk up to my window :(

Comparing eggs to turnips is an unfair comparison because they're used completely differently and don't translate. Using eggs on stage is almost always a bad idea because there are no follow ups and they have a lot of lag, taking 54 frames, or nearly a full second, to finish. They are basically only viable as an edge guard tool, or as a way to get off ledge. Peach uses turnips for many reasons like making up for her range against Marth, a combo tool, edge guarder, and pressure. I also think most Peach players are relying on partial match up unfamiliarity, not only because she's a less common character at upper levels but also like Falcon she's a very versatile character and many won't be ready for some of the differences between Peach player styles. This is something Yoshi players clearly already capitalize on as the only good Yoshi players that come to mind are Nebbii, aMSa, n3z, and v3ctorman, and Yoshi is clearly a very versatile character as well if you watch them. I really do think if aMSa moved to America, which he won't, we would see a lot more people ranking Yoshi a bit higher. I think in a perfect world Yoshi would be slightly above Falcon to be honest, and I know that's a pretty hot take.

Can we get fox pictures.

ayyy im in this vid

I like that Rishi actually thought (and talked) about what tiers mean, but if we are focusing on utility, I feel like Zelda has to have some mention to her very unique capability. Zelda improves Sheik in some very, very minute ways, but she does improve her and it comes at absolutely no cost since you can freely change back and forth. Even if that doesn't end up going into the chart I think if you talk about utility it at the very least has to be mentioned.

ics still have a really good combo game the you can learn off grab that takes skill like every other character

Does Rishi know that can Peach cc Puff's bair up til like 40% and counter attack using subfloat? She also has a projectile advantage and isn't susceptible to the wall of pain and several rest setups like most characters. I don't think she has to work much harder than other characters have to.

@Prodigial

3 жыл бұрын

No kill setups means Puff gets to live to much higher percents than vs other characters. Numerous attacks Peach has are unsafe vs Puff and she can get CCed rested. You can't edgeguard Puff, so Peach loses one of her strongest attributes and the key method she gets kills. Bair also out ranges all of Peach's moves.

@equinox3861

@@Prodigial Peach does have kill setups with turnips. Sweetspotted usmash is incredibly strong. It's not the most consistent, but Peach doesn't get rested easily. Peach is like the only character with true shield pressure and +4 aerials on shield. Float canceling is faster than L canceling. Her high dash attack and jab are anti-airs. Turnip screens are very safe. Peach has lots of options. Bair beating all of Peach's moves is simply not true. Peach's own Bair is disjointed and lasts longer. Diagonal bair approaches beat Puff's Bair cleanly. Peach can also ASDI down Puff's aerials using subfloat and counterattack. One of her key attributes that she keeps in the MU is hitting like a truck with nair/fair/Dsmash. Does living longer matter if Peach can kill Puff at like 70% with usmash? Or threaten Dsmash spam at 100? You're also forgetting that Puff recovers slowly so Peach can farm stitch faces/dot eyes.

Yee haw !!

I agree with the Yoshi's untapped potential comment, adding that playing on the level required to reach this potential takes too much of a brutal toll in longer tournaments. Yoshi can stay on C tier.

I am a Peach Main. And my Little brother complains about only playing against her. But I tell you what hes a beast at Melee . . . =D

I think the ledge and time rules need to be adjusted to reduce the ability to hard-camp. I'm conflicted though because changing those rules artificially benefits characters that would otherwise have less tools to deal with camping and harm characters that rely on camping as part of their kit, so idk. My recommendation would be something like limiting the number of times in a match a player can do ledge-camping to like 5 or something. A camping session can be determined by regrabbing the ledge four times without hitting the opponent or being hit. At this point, the Player can regrab the ledge however many times as the community seems appropriate, but I personally wouldn't make it any less than 20, because otherwise the strategy is null entirely. Changes similar to this I feel would facilitate more interesting gameplay without completely ruining ledge-camping as a strategy. I'm interested in any conversation about this.

​@@someeggplant Yeah sorry I was in a bad mood when I dropped that comment. I can see a place for a rule change if it increased the pool of viable champs or something, but I think changes like this are super likely to just reinforce the top tier in melee.

G tier is getting dysentery after trying to drink from the water source

Culerisima la list

ganon is underrated

If anyone argues that Ganon is worse than the Mario's, just watch n0ne's Ganon. His slow movement is made up for with his wavelands and wave dashing and I think his slower mobility helps him out in that way because while Falcon could do what n0ne does with his Ganon, its just not humanly possible to do a lot of it due to Falcon's speed. Low key his up air and jab are what make him decent. I agree with your placing.

Link that low!?! Do i gotta teach you another lesson smh

Im going to preface this with i still haven't watched all of the video i only watched the preface and D.5 I really dont understand what is being talked about in this tier list. I know you said utility but you really haven't explained utility. In a normal game you would describe utility as multipurpose. In an average shooter a utility gun could be something that is average in handling stats slightly below average in short range great but not the best in mid range and passable in long range however if the game favors long range engagements then that gun drops in quality significantly in a different game. While i only watched a small amount of this video im confused on how a character can have utility. You talk about things like combo ability off grab, recovery, disjoints and much more yet never actually explain what it is you are talking about and i know its not aboutbeingyour secondary or solo maining. The biggest problem i have with this framing is unlike in a shooter your opponent matters way more and i don't mean the person but the actual character you are against. DK's combos off grabs go away against floatier characters luigi's bad recovery may not be as bad against ice climbers as it is against fox. I genuinely dont know what you mean by saying Ganon, DK Link, and Young Link have better utility than characters that are conventionally considered better than them. What utility are they providing you? The only real utility i can think of is match up spread which is what normal tier list are kind of based on anyway.

Idk, I think Rishi is biased here. When you look at all the factors, puff is clearly #1 in her own tier.

So stupid. Random gives you all the utility in the game. Such a biased tier list

OMG 😍💋 💝💖❤️
