Best Super Smash Bros. Melee Characters
Fox falls into a unique archetype of character along with Captain Falcon. Most characters are either fast with weak attacks or slow with strong attacks. Fox is fast with strong attacks. Fox is equipped with an incredibly good recovery, excellent combos, very reliable and strong finishers, and can be completely unstoppable (LITERALLY) with someone who has mastered waveshining.
The reason fox is better than falco is because fox is quicker and can do so much more damage in such little time. Fox can jump further and is faster. Why have stronger attacks if fox can just burst damage you with his blaster then wipe the floor with your face with his ultimate combo's.
Marth should be number one for sure. He can beat anyone 1v1 and he is untouchable with his sword. If he hits you into the air you might as well give up because he belongs in the air. (Notice how Marth hits people further in the air than Roy? )
Marth and Roy are no were near the same. You choose which one depending on your fighting style. If you are an airborne player, always jumping into the and can fly with practically any character, Marth is your best bet. He is a deadly fighter with his Up A. He will keep juggling you until you finally go off the screen. He has very good recovery as well so it is very hard to counter Marth.
Roy on the other hand is an on-ground fighter. He does more damage than Marth but he doesn, t do much aerial damage. I suggest using Roy if you don't jump much and rely on your smash attacks to kill your opponents.
There is actually a big difference between falco and fox. They are both really good at combos (obviously) but they do them differently.
Falco is good if you can only do small combo's that end the battle decisively. But Fox is better if you're a pro and can put multiple different combo's to make a string of tactics that will decimate your opponent. Fox's speed makes sure that you don't hit him at all while he destroys you with his epic combo's. But I think that falco is better because he can kill people much faster than fox and is still very fast.
Talk about a character who's power is ridiculously awesome! Falcon Punch always finishes the job.
I love Roy right here. My boy from the very beginning when Melee was introduced to me. Though I'm not a big Melee player (Meaning I'm not that good in the game), Roy always makes me try and try again. Truly my boy right here and I'm so happy he's in Smash 4 too.
Roy is definitely my boy! I can't tell you how much I love this character. Makes Melee a favorite of mine and definitely always keeps me coming back for more. Had epic moments and sour moments, but overall, Roy will always remain my boy. Smash 4 Roy is also very good and fun too. - Roy Kuchiki
Shiek for me is just too good. Her abilities are through the roof, she is just so fast. She is a one and done character.
Jigglypuff is actually one of the best characters, ranking in the top 5, but only if you have patience and possess actual skill in the game. Avoid using her B moves unless you are confident in your understanding of them. (Never use Rollout. NEVER EVER EVER) Her side B serves as a recovery move, and only use Sing while descending. (It affects opponents on the edge of platforms) Utilize Rest when you have successfully hit them in the air or when you can dodge into them. (For Rest to work, at least half of your body must be inside theirs)
Limit aerial attacks to opponents below 100% (Smash attacks and regular A attacks are only allowed at the appropriate moments). Continuously maneuver in the air as Jigglypuff is faster in the air than on the ground, providing an easy escape from trouble. Employ a small jump followed by a down A move to trap opponents and accumulate damage. Additionally, this places them right beside you, allowing for a small combo or the use of Rest.
Patience is crucial when utilizing Jigglypuff. When employed correctly, she becomes a formidable and agile player. If you encounter an opponent who truly knows how to utilize Jigglypuff, be prepared for a challenging fight that may result in your defeat.
She was good in melee, but for some reason she wasn't very good in brawl!
Peach is Boss and can wipe everyone else off the floor!
If there was one character in the Super Smash Bros games that could put a fight out of Meta Knight, it would be him.
Unbeatable
Unstoppable
Amazing
He's my main in Melee because he's just got those good fighting mechanics. He needs to be higher
Ultimate link is unbeatable. The remote bombs are such a great upgrade and his Dair spike is really strong.
Ice Climbers are THE BEST. They are pretty fast, do insane damage, have a good up-B, and their ice is pretty good. I'm surprised no one on this list noticed that yet.
The Icies are the best, they can wobble, desync and many other amazing stuff. They also have some of the best grab games in the game, there is a reason these guys are in the top tiers
Just because...it's young Link u have to admit he is a a strong opponent if the person knows his moves (not dancing moves) and is skilled enough I mean those fire arrows are op, ten out ten arrows. I know it's a short distance attack but it packs a punch for real and his spinning attack traps the opponent until the attack is done.
His victory theme should have stayed tge way it was from Melee. His Brawl victory theme sucks!
