@ Smashchu2: Oh yeah, thanks for putting that disclaimer. I didn't think about items and other stuff while I wrote this paragraph! =P |
Sorry to sound like a jerk.
Sorry to bore you, but he's why. The game is designed with 4vs and items in mind. In this way, the characters are balanced. In tournament play, a lot of things are turned off and the rules are changed. The reason for Smash Boards to beleive that the game is unbalanced is the tournament sphere changes the rules, allowing a few characters to dominate. In Melee, the best for 4vs were Link, Roy, Samus and Sheik. Fox and Falco were not amazing in that regard. Of those four characters, only two are high up. Only Sheik is in the top area. There will always be some discrepency between the normal and competative ways of playing. The game was designed with items and 4vs taken into account. This is why they "missed" a lot of things.
