Smash Brothers has always been a competitive game for me, probably due to how my sister always wrecked me with Peach and my friend (Name withdrawn) kept on using Pit's side B, or maybe it was just me using a Wii Remote...
No matter what I will always love smash bros for competitive reasons, because really, who doesn't want to win? Especially with the best ones (characters)...
5.Fox Mc-Freaking-Cloud
Take a gander at such an awesome character... PERFECTION
Fox Mccloud is a combo making space animal, almost all of his moves come out quickly and have little ending lag. Yet what really sets Fox (Stair Fax) from the other characters is his uptilt. Fox's uptilt is amazing, it comes out fast, can lock in other opponents into itself, AND IT CAN LINK INTO SO MANY DIFFERENT MOVES. Neutral Air, Down tilt, any grab, Forward tilt, down smash, up smash, side smash, and of course the mighty fire Fox. With Fox's easy to pick up play style, almost anyone can use him. Problem is... he's light, Fox can get combo-ed and K.O.'ed easily due to his fast fall speed and light weight. This shows that not all characters are perfect.
4.Ike, the boy with blue hair and steroids
Literally, steroids or gym. Jeez man!
This may be an unusual choice, but Ike man, your time at the gym (OR STEROIDS) has really paid off. Your attacks come out faster, your dash is a bit faster and... You got an even cooler cape. Ike, overall, isn't really a great combo character, the only reason I put him up here is because how solid of a fighter he is. Ike is of the characters that can dish out alot of damage and take alot aswell. His short hop neutral air is one of his bread and butter combos, pair that with his fast fall speed and heavy weight... you got yourself a steroid filled fighting machine.
3. Captain Falcon, the legendary... race car driver?
Yes Captain Falcon, the car driver who will destroy everything in his path. The Captain is a very unique fighter, he can combo, he has fast fall speed, light weight, and fast and very powerful attacks that can kill. Need I say more? (of course I do) By utilizing the Captain's fast fall speed you can short hop into his powerful aerials (don't do forward air, the lag is real), for instance, the average short hop up-air is one of his best strategies, you can juggle your opponent for quite awhile until their percentage is high enough. His specials are quite powerful aswell, most of them being able to kill at low percents (125%-raptor boost 50%-Falcon Punch ?%-Falcon dive). All of this combo potential in one man, fantastic right? Think again, Falcon can easily be countered by sword users, talking bout' you Marth, due to how their long range allows them to space away from Falcon's aggressive play-style. Also his fall speed may be a dis-advantage to him aswell, on big stages he can get thrown of easily which leads to a K.O.
2. Yoshi-Just plain Yoshi'
AWW.. HOW CAN THEY BE SO CUTE AND SO FREAKING DEADLY?
Yoshi is probably one of the most troll characters in Smash, I only used him for his taunts in Brawl (eat that *name removed for privacy* ). Yet in the new smash... oh glory. Yoshi has kill potential, combo potential, and his down air (22% damage much?). Yoshi is generally everything you want in a character, the only down side is... He has no recovery other than his jumps. Yet if you can deal with that, you got something worthy right there.
1. Sheik... A ninja?
YES I KNOW IT'S FROM MELEE, BUT I DON'T CARE
Sheik is a ninja, and that's awesome. She has fast fall speed, she is light, all of her attacks are lighting quick, combo ability, and well she is a ninja, that's amazing as is. Also she is speculated to be in the top of the tiers so... that's a thing. Sheik is probably one of those characters who you will see everywhere... makes sense since she is used by so many famous smashers. M2K, Zer0, and Jtails. Don't know Jtails? Oh he beat M2K in smash 4, nothing big, unless you count that M2K is literally the best smash player overall. If that doesn't convince you, then I don't know what will.
