The idea that MK is OPed because Sakurai made him is silly. Kirby was made by Sakurai and he's been mediocre to bad in all three games. Dedede is pretty mediocre as well. MK is not particularly unbalanced in low level play. If you gave two brand new players Link and MK to play with, I think the results would be about 50/50. MK's best tools relate to stalling, planking, and his aerials, particularly D/Uair. I'm a very good Smash Bros player and MK is one of my worst characters because I never put any effort into learning how to play as him. It's not nearly as simple as "pick up controller and win". If my life depended on winning a Smash Bros match and I could pick between Ganondorf and MK, I'd pick Ganondorf every time. |
I'm not familiar with the term planking.
But you could be right, I'll ask my smash friend what he thinks about it.
EDIT: k, just had a little chat with my bud and he reminded me that Kirby was pretty awesome in smash64, and actually is placed 2nd tier for ssb64. His uptilt has a sick hitbox: http://img52.imageshack.us/img52/8015/kirbyutilt.gif
Then, he made the point that in all 3 games, his characters have at least average or better mechanics to them. And, well I don't have a source for this, but apparently he cares alot about MK.
Then, I asked him about noob mk vs noob link, and he told me that MK could basically win with two moves: The tornabo ( b ), and the downsmash, since tornados suck up all projectiles and can only be beat by select moves.
Which apparently was answered here already -> http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=4931646
