I've held around Top 50 for around three years now and I think I can feel happy about my time competing in Melee. There are a lot of friends/rivals who have made an impact on me, but I owe these guys a special thanks for 2025.
@PudgyPanda96 I think heβs pretty clearly better than every other character at this point. MU vibes wise and in practice he has the best results. Hard to argue against that.
@ArledgeNan94751 Puff also has a worse matchup against the best character in the game AND a bad matchup against Marth (The other top 3 character) as well.
@ArledgeNan94751 she still has major wins though, and the characters that win majors are more a factor of who is maining a particular character rather than that characters tier placement, at least among the top tiers.
@greenredbullfan she has a tough time vs ICs and losing but passable mus with puff and fox, but otherwise she pretty solidly beats every other character (except falco maybe), and she beats them quite easily. Marth, Falco and Puff all have losing mus but lots of weird ones too.
Excited to unveil something I've been building for the last two years (almost to the day). This is my love letter to the community, finally in a state where I'm comfortable sharing it.
