Super Smash Bros.: Difference between revisions

Nintendo's iconic mascot. Mario is considered the most balanced character in Smash Bros. because his pros outweigh his cons. His matchups with the other characters is very balanced too. He is playable from the very start.

The Metroid-killing, bounty hunter represents the Metroid series in the game. She is a heavy and floaty character with a lot of ending lag, meaning she doesn't have fast combos. Samus players tend to seek out stratagies/predictable moves and use those to their advantage. Her matchups aren't the best and she is last in the tier list. She is playable from the very start.

Star Fox's Leader is in the game representing the Star Fox series. He is considered one of the best character in the game; having the highest speed, great combos but being rather weak in his attacks. His matchups are good and he is 2nd in the tier list. He is playable from the very start.

Dreamland's Hero is in the game representing his own series. He has mulitple jumps - which is very good for recovering - but he is so very light and floaty that it is easy to knock him back. This easy knockback, however, makes it hard to combo Kirby. His main special attack makes it very difficult to get a strategy on him. All of this combined makes Kirby 3rd on the tier list. He is playable from the start.

Mario's green-clad brother is the second character from the Mario Universe. He is similar to his brother with his entire moveset, however he is seen as a lesser clone to Mario. Despite this, his Super Jump Punch is much more deadly and he can jump higher than Mario. He is tied with Link for the 10th spot on the most recent Tier List revision and he must be unlocked to play. You can unlock him by completing Break the Targets with all 8 original characters and then beating Luigi in a fight.

The PSI/PK user is the only one to represent the Mother series (Earthbound in particular as it was the only one to be released internationally). He can use several magic based attacks and is well known for his unique jumps. He's only 9th on the Tier List for his predictable attacks, but he does have very good combo opportunities because he can Double Jump Cancel. He is an unlockable character and you must complete 1-Player mode with 3 lives without dying then beat Ness in a match.

Some wonder why Jigglypuff is the second Pokemon rep in the game, but it's all because it was the second most popular Pokemon of the time. It very floaty and light which makes Jiggly susceptible to throws and strong attacks, though some players can use this floatiness to their advantage. Because it is so easy to KO Jigglypuff, it's only 8th on the Tier List. Since it's an unlockable character, you must simply complete 1 Player mode once and then defeat Jigglypuff.
