For "Level 1" players (No defensive game exist. Haven't really learned the game or fundamentals yet)
- Kirby
- Link
- Samus
- Mega Man
- Sora

Pretty much zoning characters because they don't really know how to fight up close. Sora has an auto-combo move that does big damage, fast smashes to abuse because of c-stick and a decent recovery. Kirby, Sometimes.

Level 2 (Understands the basics, but rolls/spot-dodge too much with many failed grab attempts. Can't adapt to new/advance tactics)
DK - "I spam dash-attack and Utlit. When they're far, I charge Giant Punch, then boom. . . I miss. Let's try again. . ."
Naruto - Spams all clone special-move. When they're close, braindead dash-attack into Utilt combos endlessly.
Link - The same as level 1, BUT, they spam roll/spot-dodge Spin-Attack and rely on it way too much.
Marth - Never dashing. Spamming side+B at mid-range, Fsmash or Ftilt when they're closer, and Utilt/Uspecial when above.

Can't think of a solid fifth. There's Captain Falcons with Raptor Boost spam/ Lloyds that abuse lagless aerials from landing. Black Mages with no real thought process. Goku's who spam Ki-blast and Ftilt (because that move is fast and kills at a retarded 110% or earlier) And Ichigos who spam Dash-Attack, Utilt, and other fast moves. Pretty much a tie between all of those.

Level 3 (knowledgeable competitive players - skill varies, but understands the fundamental and the use of techniques. . . They know what and to abuse)
Marth - "I don't want to lose this set, so. . . *Dolphin Slash out of everything*"
Fox - "Are they slow than Fox? Go 20XX. Are they a light-weight? Up-smash is the answer. Versus a non-swordsman? This will bairly even be a challenging match."
DK - "It's online, so I am safe from chain-throws. Time to spam Utilt > Uair."
Sheik - "Trying to use like this Melee Sheik > Fails miserably > Begins hiding behind shield to grab"
Meta Knight - "Nair and I don't care if it doesn't work."

accurate.
make lloyd level 1 tho he's the easiest character for real lol

Funnily enough , he's the least level 2 character you'll encounter in online rooms.

^Pretty much this.

And I think by now people should be used to fighting him. It's not like he's completely unstoppable or god tier. He's just annoying when he's not used properly. Hell, Narutard was considered more annoying before Marf raided a whole tourney.

OMG Sage now you are starting to hate Naruto?

Yeah I just don't like people who pull bad characters that they haven't even polished or try to work on.

Late response, but I'm a different Sage lol.

Lloyd is definitely the easiest character into terms of combos and cheap tactics. Level-1s have no idea about that type of thing existing and he's not "I have to use more than three moves win? Character sucks then." Level 2's do abuse Lloyd in that way, but a lot of them would rather use Marth since he's the same in core playstyle, but simpler attacks. And Level-2 may, or may not, know they can use Rising Falcon for recovery, so they just pick Marth for Dancing-Blade.

Stop being salty and learn the matchup. This happens all the time in fighters people get salty cause a character gets popular, then they use that character as an excuse for losing. So if half the people at the tourney used Naruto, would a poll for banning Naruto be up?

Banning a character just because they're popular is stupid, especially when they aren't even #1. Play a game with an actual broken character so that you know what a ban worthy character is; and I'm not talking about a top tier that's really good, I mean a character that wins against everyone and can't lose against most of the cast. In fact, I'll name an example.

Petshop in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure is not only the best character in the game, but he's also broken. He can't be hit low (this means he only has to block a single direction, so mixups never work on him), he has some the highest damage output (this is a basic combo, and not even the most damage he can get), his size makes it so that a lot of combos don't work on him (some characters can't combo him at all), and he is the easiest character to use. Some characters cannot beat him, and I'm not talking about a very bad matchup; they cannot legitimately win. This character grossly upsets the balance of the game and he was banned because of that.

Marth is nothing like that, and shouldn't even be considered for a ban. Whoever voted for banning Marth should learn the matchup and stop being salty.

I personally took it down for a few reasons:
1. I'm a scrub. Now stop calling me one.
2. Lunary has a point. Lloyd.
3. This is uncalled for for someone who is a backroom member. Not bringing BR affairs to the public, but this isn't how I should be acting.
4. I find it kinda laughable that 3 of my mains are on Zalo's list. So I have no right.

Happy, competitors?
