poke floats

I see what you did there

i would've brought up luigi but ahahha that was good

Does anyone else agree that Mario and Luigi are terribly underrated? (especially on the tier list)

not really

Mario and Luigi are pretty much always the easiest characters to use, but they don't deserve to be high in the tier lists. Mario really is extremely balanced in the fact that while he is easy to use, he doesn't exactly have a great move that you have to be afraid of. (Yes, it's easy to spam fireball, but you can always jump over it.. Even a line of fireballs, just use a recovery move.) Luigi is pretty much the same, aside from having Fire Punch, which really is a move to fear, it's really difficult to hit characters with, unless you have them stunned or slowed down. And it's pretty much impossible to use if you're fighting a character with lots of ranged moves.

Not all of that is really true to be honest. Not sure why you'd use a recovery move on stage ever, even if it means dodging fireballs. You'll get hit by something much worse if you put yourself in special fall over the stage lol.
You're on the right track about Mario though. He's pretty easy to pick up and do well with so he's a really cool first character, plus his special moves are fairly typical so again he's good to learn on. The problem is he just doesn't get that much better with skill. There's honestly very little reason to play him over the Doc.

There are a few characters whose recovery up specials can be useful for attacking. Though who would use them to dodge projectiles is beyond me.

Actually you can use Pit's to avoid things, but to be safe, you should utilize the touch ground trick to give Pit his midair jumps and Uspecial back once he cancels it. You just have to make sure you dont get hit out of Uspecial.

Or you could glide.
Also, Mario's USmash and FSmash are pretty awesome.
Also, Samus wouldn't be stupid enough for Mario to exploit his SSpecial.

Using Pit's Uspecial from the ground could allow you to chase opponents better/higher, if you dont get hit out of it that is.

Finally got the SSBB and Wifi on the Wii. Ready for challenges.
