I only use Fox, Falco, Marth, Peach, and Shiek. Everybody else is a lower tier and completely worthless. If you use any other character, you officially suck at SSB and should never be allowed near a game system again. In addition, Final Destination is the only decent stage. It doesn't have any lame gimmicks that cheapen the gameplay. It makes it more like a REAL fighting game. Did I mention how much items suck? They are worthless, zero-skill features that prove how even a baby can beat a professional player. Items are for people who can't play video games worth jack. Smash Bros. is serious business, people. If you can't play competitively without cheap game-ruining gimmicks, I suggest you re-evaluate your status as a gamer and your life in general.
I'm kidding, obviously.
