I'm interested to see how the tiers/tournaments/terms will be revised to accommodate SSB 4.

Much like the Pokemon community and Evasion, I don't think anything will result in the unbannig of items in Smash tourneys.

Yeah, both communities suffer huge inferiority complexes over the few luck-based portions of their games. Can't have their precious skill floor be invalidated, now can we?

I play competitive Pokemon so I'm allowed to shit talk the members of it.

There is more than one type of tourney, to be fair. Items Tourneys exist in Brawl, as well as Tag Team, and regular 1 on 1. One of the more popular ones is 1 on 1, very specific stages, no items, and tons of ledge grab limits.

Items really don't have much place in a tournament. They add chaotic fun, yeah, but chaotic is something that should be toned down for tournaments. They do indeed inject a heavy element of luck, especially ones like Starmen. Yes, it takes skill to counter them, but it still gives an unfair advantage to one player over the other and skews the results. That being said there ARE tournies that have items on, though they're generally less serious than the others.

Now, what's this about Yoshi's Slam Jam?

It's not very good, but it's the only Yoshi's Island one I found believe it or not.

This should function in the absence of decent Slam Jams.

But seriously, why does no one use Zelda when everyone uses Sheik?

My friend mains Zelda. I've never fought her, but I'm sure my Dr. Mario is more than a match for her.

Related, I just watched a Zelda beat a Dr. Mario for the tourney last Saturday.

He didn't turn her into Sheik often at all during those matches.

And people use both or one or the other. It's just that Sheik is a lot better so more flock to her. Which isn't that odd, really.

My fried used to destroy us with Zelda. One day, she got a direct hit on all three other players with Zelda's Light Bow. We paused to get a closer look, and she managed to hit Lucario directly in the croch while doing so. We unpaused, and everyone was K Oed. Zelda is scary, man...

@Zelda: Not sure about Melee but at a convention I was at a year ago had a guy who played a RUTHLESS Zelda. Her Dtilt is obnoxious and, combined with her neutral B, you're forced to run at her only for her to hit you with that fucking trip and rack up damage fast.

I also have a friend who mains Zelda exclusively.

...Who relies almost entirely on Din's Fire and her aerial attacks, but it's a fairly challenging Zelda nonetheless.

I use Kirby the most, along with the Ice Climbers. I'm most used to playing them. I'm not that great though, but it does feel really comfortable to spam several different attacks.

"There was once a game called Mega Man Soccer, by the way."

In other news, I have no idea what's going on in this thread right now, but regarding Zelda, I use her more than Shiek, though I tend to use both when need be.

Same here. Although I will admit that part of the reason I use Zelda more than Sheik is simply because I find Zelda to be prettier in that form.
