I wouldn't even count on it. Mario is just clearly not popular enough to just be outright winning professional tournaments pretty frequently in "Melee". You would probably think that way since he is Nintendo's mascot after all. At least, he's still pretty good in both "Smash 4" and "Ultimate", but he's just unfortunately not a good character in "Melee" like his brother Luigi is. That's why his Tier List ranking has actually kept on immensely dropping over the years since Mario actually used to be the 5th best character on the very first "Melee" Tier List (from all the way back in 2002). I think that Mario would have been a much better character in "Melee" if Sakurai himself didn't nerf his KO Power and Recovery the way like how he did all the way back when he first developed "Melee" in 2001.

DK is rough to deal with when he's able to pressure you. He's faster than you'd think, and can rack up damage in a hurry into good KO confirms. From what I've seen, he actually goes pretty even with Marth, as Marth has a hard time killing DK without a combo -> confirm. On paper he could be really good against Fox, as one grab can lead to a zero to death, but the reality is Fox just destroys him in neutral. I play Link/YL and used to love fighting DKs, but they started being able to consistently pressure and not get camped.

@lbfrank5204 Жыл бұрын
Mang0's also been labbing Doc as a legitimate counterpick to Hungrybox's Puff. I personally think he should be using him more against more top players to get a better grasp of the character but in the end if it's more doc exposure I'm in for that. He's been really close too, he's taken a game off of HBox with Doc and has had a number of them go to last stock
@Capta1nTD5 ай бұрын
I never liked Doc in the newer games but Melee Doc genuinely surprised me. He's fun to play, hits like a truck, has an incredible chain grab game that can lead to kills, his movement isn't the fastest but it's still decent, and his recovery is actually solid. Better than Falcon and Sheik at least. His range does hold him back but I still think he has the potential to compensate for that in the right hands. Pill does help fix that in a good amount of match ups.

If i were to add buffs where every mid to low tier are buffed to be as good as Peach and Jigglypuff For Mario and Doc, Mario would be more closer to his SSBU gameplay focusing on vertical kills while Doc is more horizontal (with Fair being his only good vertical) Pikachu Up special direction gets fixed, Up deals more damage and Down b goes through platforms Yoshi (Pal buffs) Bowser: fireball for neutral special, reduced end-lag, up b more recovery, Kirby: faster air speed, air side b as a good horizontal edge-guard, fixed hitboxes (ending up as a slightly worse puff) Samus: gets melee 1.00 up b where the drill is inescapable Zelda: her neutral special same as Samus Link: Speed, reduced end-lag Young Link: Increased killpower

I don't main him anymore, but I still believe in Doc. He'll win big someday, trust. Outside of that, I personally believe that both Link and Game & Watch could see some innovation and improvement at some point. Maybe not enough to rise entire spots on the tier list, but it could happen. Unfortunately, I also have pretty much no faith in either Mario or Young Link. Mario's gameplan hasn't changed much since his playerbase has declined and tech discoveries have mostly stagnated. Young Link, while in no shortage of movement or combos, also kills at over 300% against anyone who isn't puff, and he definitely isn't getting any better in the important matchups (Fox and Marth), so that probably isn't panning out well for him.

Up B a few times for percent due to the rush down, sneak in a fair or uptilt and you can get them off stage, at which point it's simply execution until they're too far to recover I do agree with DK having the most potential, I could see him sneaking into Top 8 of majors like Luigi did in the mid-2010s.

Keep in mind that Luigi will always have the best Wavedash (due to the extremely low traction that he possesses), so that's one reason why he's pretty good in "Melee" still.

Luigi & Ganon are quite similar in that they're both simple and hard hitting characters with a lot of promise when you start out, but as ppl know the MU more and more you will find these two have very crippling limitations that just keep them pinned where they are. YL is a low tier imo. Unlike Link, YL cannot scrap, has a worse recovery and relies on having to p much run away and toss projectiles all day. I think he can be ok vs a Falco by being annoying for Falco to chase, but once Falco catches him its a wrap, so thats just me being generous. This whole "YL foing well vs floaties" is bs cuz ok sure you're DEFINITELY going to land bomb into dair combos past 100% on floaties 4 times in a game feasibly... No, YL needs to setup edgeguards to get efficient kills. DK ehhhhhh, DK is pretty solid. Amazing edgeguards and good range to boot along with ok recovery and decent mobility. The problem is he gets revenge killed stupid easily due to his terrible shield.. You're going to be very hard pressed to maintain any real advantage after taking stocks when ur opponent just respawns and uses that invincibility to score a quick kill cuz DK is such a big target yelling SHIELD POKE ME! Also DK needs a solid combo game to work, and characters like puff & luigi are going to destroy his ability to rack up damage efficiently. Mario & Doc are both quite respectable and have well rounded tools that give them promise, its just they're not particularly amaxing at anything. Probably the best attribute about them are their chaingrabs, most notably on Sheik, bit good luck even landing grabs with their stubby reach... Still, they tend to hit the wall less hard than Luigi and Ganon, but they just don't have that oomph to em like Luigi and Ganon either. Link is definitely better than YL despite his lower speed. A hood recovery with hookshot and can actually fight and not just throw stuff, his jab is quite pivotal in stopping and mucking up approaches and killer upBs oos demand a level of respect, but he's frikkin combo food man.. Suffers the most chaingrabs of the bunch and his speed ain't helping him get away from being grabbed. If i had to say which of these mid tiers has the most promise, uhhhhhh I'd probably say DK due to how mobile he is while being great at edgeguards. Yeah Puff is really bad but he's got spacies and Marth combos going and can actually kinda camp out vs peach with retreating charge punches to control the pace of the game. DK gets rushed down pretty badly like Link does, but at least he has some level of mobility to have it happen less.
