  • I've created a tier list that includes the entire cast for the very first time! This video is a direct sequel to the tier list I posted earlier this week.
    Edit: Ness has a 4-frame jumpsquat - my mistake.

    Ness could be ranked higher. Although his fair can be asdi downed it has a huge hitbox and is entirely disjointed, so its not easy to get a reliable punish off of that. All of his aerials auto cancel off of a short hop and generally have good frame data, has the best shield in the game, is fairly heavy, chain grab on spacies, strong fsmash, small hurtbox, and dj cancel. All that considered I think he could be as high as young link at best given his flaws, but I cannot see him as the worst character in the game

    • @MetzoTM25

      Agreed. Hax has no idea what Ness can do and just has the mindset of, "well he's always been trash so he's trash." Tier lists don't mean shit, especially when it's from someone who never touches characters in D and F tier. Clueless.

    honestly, I think that DK having a pretty playable matchup into fox and marth is a lot better than anything that the Mario's have going for them? like, as a solo main I agree that he's around as good as the mario's, but DK honestly seems like a pretty viable dual main character, which to me seems like enough to push him up to B tier.

    Isn't treating Zelda and Sheik as the same character just ignoring the reality of how people actually *play* the characters? What's the point in ranking them together if it's just less useful to do so? You're essentially ranking a situation that doesn't actually exist, even if you might be technically correct, that they only have one spot on the character select screen.
    Sure, veeery occasionally a player might switch between them, but in 99.99% of cases, players stick with one character or the other for the vast majority of their match time.

    • @sinfinite7516
      @sinfinite7516 Рік тому +1

      @@sinfinite7516 People play Zelda as seriously as half the characters on the bottom quarter of the tier list. So if we're ranking them *all,* that's not a good reason to leave out Zelda.
      All your comments about switching to Zelda occasionally or whatever are covered my first comment. Even if in a perfect world you switch *to* Zelda sometimes as a Sheik player, you're still basically a Sheik player. And just because some Sheik players do that, that doesn't erase the existence Zelda as a character.
      This tier list basically treats Zelda like she's an occasional tool for Sheik, when in reality she's as much of a character as any other F tier character.

  • @fastmovingvolcanomatter
    @fastmovingvolcanomatter Рік тому +3

    I couldn't disagree more about Kirby's jumpsquat. None of the good 3-frame jumpsquat characters are good *because* they have 3-frame jumpsquat, they're good because they have overall good mobility and aerials, which their jumpsquat gives them quick access to; they get value out of leaving the ground quickly because what they can do in the air is *worth something*. Kirby does not have that. He doesn't have the tools necessary for having 3-frame jumpsquat to help him; he'd be *faaaar* better off with 4-frame jumpsquat but actually decent dash, run, and air drift speeds. Hell, I'd take 4-frame jumpsquat, improved dash speed, and a *single* extra frame of up-smash strong hit over the current version of Kirby. He's ass bro: definitive bottom 2, and he's not 2.

    I do think DK is a bit undervalued in this tier list, you pointed out the Falco MU being rough, but the fact that you can pivot power shield the lasers and that you're mostly approaching backwards to hit with a bair anyway makes that MU just a little bit worse than fox but not by much. Surprisingly, Peach and Sheik are decent MUs, the only definitively bad MUs that DK has are icies and falcon (in the opinion of many top DKs such as Akir and Rishi), and those are still being labbed out. Icies has become better by using down b to help separate them, but falcon is still a problem. I'd put DK ahead of the Mario bros, but below Luigi, potentially even in B tier. He could be viable depending on how much more he gets labbed out, and he definitely has high potential for the future.

    I don't play Melee. At all. For the last 6-7 years, I've been strictly a spectator. With that said, what's the deal with Ganandorf? In my 6-7 years of watching, I have seen really good Ganons. Most lately, it's been Mekk. But I have NEVER seen a good Dr. Mario, Mario, or quite frankly, since Abate, Luigi. Yet those three characters are regularly seen above Ganon on a tier list. Is it strictly bias? I know there *has* been good to even great Mario/Docs before I started watching, but it has been bare for those characters since. Again, I don't play Melee, just talking as a spectator, and a spectator for a relatively short period of time.

    Link has a 6 frame jumpsquat and one of the worst dash speed, air speed, and wavedash length of the whole cast.
    Young link actually has great movement with his 4 frame jumpsquat, great airspeed, great dash speed, and solid wavedash. His wavedash OOS and nair OOS are 2 frames faster than Link's and he's much harder to pin down in shield due to his movement.

      yeah but Link's nair is so good; the way that a good link will play is that you don't want to get close (or you want to get close and instantly block) because they are going to try to up-b you. if they keep you at range (with projectiles) then they can shorthop toward you and throw out his really good nair which you can't really do much about, or react to very well, and then probably follow up with something. Young link has a lot less ability to do that game-plan due to his lower range. Links don't really need much movement tbh, they are supposed to be defensive and more like a wall.

    • @amiteea
      @amiteea Рік тому +1

      Completely agree, the 4 frame jump squat is huge for shield pressure as it gives us a frame 5 option oos of jump z-drop bomb. Can’t believe hax thinks there is such a difference between Link and Young Link essentially because Link has a slightly better Marth mu. They both get absolutely run over by literally every other top tier, completely at a loss why 4 characters are in between them.

      IMO he has such an unusable (for inexperienced players) jump that you have to learn dj-cancel tech, and then for what? You might as well use Yoshi who has the same tech but less faults. Sadly, this game isn't Project M and many characters are just simply replacable in the meta, with better characters that are quite similar (Ness, normal Mario, Ganon all have characters that do similar things, but better). At least the things that make Kirby special are things that can't really be used by any other character.

    @KaitlynBurnellMath 10 місяців тому

    Some minor disagreements:
    Just based on tournament results, I feel like there should be a tier break between Mewtwo and Game&Watch.
    Pretty much all the C and D characters (except one) up to that point have notable recent results. Zain with Roy got 7th at Wavedash. Leffen's had some disgusting runs with Mewtwo beating some of the best europeans. Junebug just got 13th at Big House using DK, including several wins over very good players (Magi, Ginger). Aklo's Link caused some problems for top Marths.
    But G&W...it's not that nobody has tried, Cody tried. He failed. I just can't ever think of a time when some big player picked up G&W, and did really well with him. It's not that G&W doesn't have some decent moves, but he's the same weight as Jigglypuff and his shield doesn't work (always at risk of getting shield poked even with a full shield).
    My other minor disagreement is Mario.
    First, there's the results. Outside of some Mango stuff from 2010, Mario really doesn't have the results, in terms of beating players in 2022 or 2023 who are top 30 ranked with Mario. Unlike Mewtwo, unlike DK, unlike Roy, unlike Link, all of whom do have big wins. (Mango's Mario also lost to Zain's Roy in the one instance I can find of that matchup, and Mario's floaty enough that this would be expected to be a bad matchup for Roy).
    I also, and maybe I'm just bad at reading frame data (totally possible), but I'm also unconvinced staring at frame data and character information that Doc and Mario are close. Something like 80% of Doc's moves look in the data better than Mario's to me.
    There's Doc's up+B, which has up+B cancelling, which does get implemented in actual games by Franz. Mario's up+B doesn't have this.
    There's the cape, which is substantially better for Doc (hits well below the stage when edge guarding, deals more percent).
    There's the pills which are substantially better for Doc. (Deal more percent, bounce more erratically)
    There's pretty much every grounded A move, which is better for Doc (usually same frame data, but more damage. Forward tilt is less damage for Doc, but significantly better frame data so I suspect it's better overall too).
    (The one likely exception for grounded moves is Mario's forward smash, which deals less damage, has less knockback, but has a second hitbox--sourspot, and has the transcendental property meaning it never clanks, always trades. General consensus is this forward smash is probably better for Mario over Doc, but definitely not by enough to make Mario close the gap on the ground).
    So the one place Mario can close this gap is in his air moves. And yes, Mario's aerials do have faster L-cancel times. Usually something like 8 frames to 9 frames, or in a couple cases 7 frames to 9 frames. Add to this, often Mario deals a bit more percent with some of his aerials (unlike any of his ground moves). These are pretty nice.
    But like...Doc also has his F-air, often rightly highlighted as Doc's biggest advantage, cause he can kill and Mario often struggles to kill. Also Doc's d-air sends in a downward spike angle, Mario's doesn't. So like...I'm not actually convinced Mario's more scary in the air. And he's definitely less scary on the ground.

    I genuinely think Ganon is higher than everyone in C tier and even Luigi, he bullies all those characters.
    I’m not saying he’s good by any means, but I do think your undervaluing him a bit, Mekk has too 8’d multiple majors this year with him and even beaten you with the character
    He struggles with spacies hard, but his bad matchups aren’t that bad actually. Sheik and Fox are his biggest road blocks, but you can learn execution with his CG and he becomes way more dangerous. And marth is rough but CC is REALLY good vs marth, and ganon lives for so long vs him

  • @SharurFoF

    Amusing that you started this video off with an explanation of why you have such a big S-tier when I just commented on the previous video that, essentially, I'd want to break that into two. I still stand by what I said there, the short version of which is:
    "I don't like consolidating down to 3 tiers for this. I think with the characters you're looking at, there are some clear tiers that you captured well in your previous list:
    - Wins regularly
    - Wins occasionally
    - Rarely or never wins, but it is or should be possible
    - Never wins, and should never be expected to win, but is a threat to upset/make top 8
    (and then everything not tiered isn't even a threat to upset, although I might add a few more characters to that final group)."
    I do understand your point about it feeling arbitrary where you'd split the S-tier though, and in fact I also said: "There's a results-based argument that only Fox and Marth should be in "wins regularly", given the limited pool of players that have ever won majors with any other character, but it's hard to disentangle that from how few players actually win majors at all, so I could see ending this top tier anywhere from after Marth to after Puff."
    Still, I think picking a dividing line somewhere is better than not doing so, because as I also said (sorry for excessive quotation but I'm just repeating myself anyway): "But I just can't see Falcon belonging up there when Wizzrobe is the only Falcon to ever do it, and has only done it a handful of times (depending on which events you count, arguably only once). By results Yoshi is arguably better than Falcon in terms of threat to win, though I'm not saying I'd put Yoshi above Falcon on a tier list."
    By not picking a dividing line, and grouping Fox and Falcon together, I think it gives a distorted picture of character viability/threat to win.

    • @medea6341
      @medea6341 10 місяців тому

      Tier lists don't directly reflect tournament results. They play a part, but it's not the full story. Going only by results and likelihood of winning, Jigglypuff has won more majors **solo** than any other character in the game by a large margin, but putting her as the #1 character would be very controversial. There's other things that matter like the matchup spread of the character and the depth/options that that character has, and Jigglypuff has losing matchups and doesn't have as deep of a meta as Fox or Marth.
      Recency bias plays a lot into most people's tier lists as well. The top 3 of this list are the only characters who have own majors this year, and notice how Puff and Falco are often disfavored out of a top 3 spot since neither have won a major on their own in the past year, even though historically they've been very dominant. The characters who win regularly vs. occasionally are often changing. Marth used to not win on his own very often but nowadays Zain is often favored to win anything he attends. Puff used to dominate the meta but hasn't won in a while, etc.
      The way I see it, spacies, Marth and Puff belong in the S tier since historically and in recent years, they are the front runners for winning tournaments and top 8 always has at least 2 of those in it. Honestly I can see Sheik and Falcon being in the tier with them even though they're not quite as good though.

      Even if we assume, for example, roy loses to yink, theres still an argument that roy should be above him based on having better matchups vs spacies. Beating or at least having stuff to do against two top 5 characters is much more valuable than beating another d tier character.

      @@leaffinite2001 YL's advantages against floaties outweigh anything Roy has against spacies. Hax is WAY overstating what tools he has considering he gets wrecked in neutral. It takes someone like Donttestme to beat an above-average fox, but I've seen multiple YL mains take sets from decent Peach/Puff mains.

  • @KRizmaTV
    @KRizmaTV Рік тому

    I respect Haxs attempt at ranking the lower tiers aswell, but he should really stick to high tiers, because he has almost no knowledge about any of the mid/low tiers and just goes by some singular strengths they have.
    1. Falcon is way too high (most overrated high tier imo)
    2. Mario is way worse than Doc (the fact Mario can't kill is huge, when the main goal is taking stocks)
    3. Adult Link should be in B (His only really bad MU are Sheik and Falcon, he has good disjointed moves that are almost all combo starters like dsmash, dash attack and utilt, he has a tether grab which is relatively fast for it's range, he has solid kill confirms on all most the whole cast, he is heavy, has a great recovery and etc.) Link just doesn't have that one player who travels with him otherwise people would easily agree that Adult Link is B and WAAAY better than Y.Link
    4. G&W is really underrated (All his aerials are basically high tier level good, except uair; dtilt is super good; has chaingrabs on spacies; can actually scrab because of his jab; kill confirms like Doc almost; good wavedash; high recovery; up b is a 1 frame move I think)
    5. Bowser should be his own tier (If you have a big hurtbox and have the worst jump squat in the game, you are automatically the worst character in a game like Melee; no other character shares those two bad aspects, and thats just the tip of the iceberg why Bowser is absolute trash)
