Ahh, can definitely tell I've been slacking off on my Pikachu. So many SDs/bad forward rolls x_x GGs Beats as usual. Great Olimar; it was infuriating to fight against. It's okay to pick a stage that isn't Battlefield by the way :P

Robin is so unorthodox. (and not...good.) Wouldn't recommend him.

Pit, maybe?

Well, I'm kinda wanting to play a character who's new to Smash 4, so I'm thinking about those options, but I might just stick with ZSS. I'm not playing Pac Man, my buddy plays Mega Man, screw Little Mac, and WFT is all sorts of weird. I guess I might just settle on ZSS.

How can you hate the best stage in the game? smh

I love the way it looks and sounds, but honestly I wish the background wasn't the damn stage.
 
Is Marth/Lucina still terrible? Most saddening thing ever. I played Marth a bunch in Melee, but didn't in 4 because I heard the two of them were pretty bad.
 
I hate the Duck Hunt stage because of the zoomed out and fixed camera. So, I never pick it! : p

also I sent a replay to some of you. : ]

Good games! I think I understand the Pikachu/Olimar matchup a little better. It's still difficult though lol. Yeah, I always pick Battlefield because I'm usually just mashing A/Start at the stage select screen. It's only because I want to get right back into a match. : >

All of the characters are good save for maybe Mii Swordsman, who is extremely bad as far as I can tell. The tiers in this game are a small divide, not a massive one. If you're getting stomped, in most cases it is you. My main is decidedly "mid tier" on most lists, and he competes just fine.

Honestly, ever since Melee, I've preferred Zelda over Sheik. I know Sheik can do crazy-awesome things, but what use is that if I can't make her do crazy-awesome things? Zelda on the other hand, I can do the basics for. Still need to drill some combos and such, but first I learn how to not die fast, then I learn how to get openings. And THEN I worry about combos. Can't combo when you're dead.

Anywho, I actually unlocked all but Phantom Breaker for her through Trophy Rush. So, anyone here want to check my thinking here?

Din's Fire is bad in general, but the two customs have their uses. The quick long range one to pressure at long range on stage and the big slow one to put a mine in the path of the opponent's recovery. I'm partial to the latter because my offstage play is still not quite there. I don't actually expect to hit with it. Just force you to look at something that isn't me for a second. Also possible: Drop a fireball at zero range. This space belongs to Zelda now.

As for the Naryus. Rejection may or may not have potential. It still reflects, it doesn't do damage, and it's slow. But it turns the opponent around. Is that a good thing? Passion... is not a reflector. Pass.

The Phantoms, well, haven't tried Breaker yet, but Striker pretty much puts a wall right then and there in front of Zelda. A wall with a sword. That's rather basic stage control, but Zelda doesn't like being rushed, so maybe?

But the one I'm really curious about is Faeroe's Squall. Con: Zelda's biggest KO move disappears. Pro: Is a freaking combo breaker! Seriously, it has nearly no startup before the wind starts, so if you have a 1-frame gap, Zelda pushes you away. And if you hit her after that, she doesn't even teleport, she's right there, at medium range, where she wants to be. So, um... This is useful, but I don't think I'm at a level where combo breaking is something I have the mental surplus for yet. I should probably stick with Faeroe's Wind and the elevator for now.

Do we have anyone here who knows some Zelda who can double-check my thinking there?
 
Mii Swordfighter is not terrible, maybe a contender for the worst in the game but personally I think he's better than Zelda, Marth, Lucina.

Zelda is likely worst in the game.
Marth and Lucina got a bit better in the patch with Dancing Blade being more reliable for damage/pushing enemy towards the edge.
 
I really wanted to make Lucina one of my subs, but she's just too bad in this game. :(

Damnit, I kept getting hit like an idiot in that replay. I demand a rematch some time! lol

I hate Duck Hunt because I've had to play Olimar on it and the stage is huge. Eye strain.

Just play plenty of characters, everyone is more fun than they were in previous games for the most part. Except for the ones who got nerfed into the ground, a moment of silence for Marth and Falco.

Zero Suit has a learning curve but all of her moves are good and one of the best players who uses her streams constantly, so it shouldn't be as hard to learn as Peach is.
 
Still down for 2v2

Will play 1v1 as well but just a heads up that I am not good. Just started playing Smash this year after getting hooked on streams so I'm obviously booty.
