pichu...self hurting is too much & free damage for the opponent...

It seems that a lot of people are bashing characters because "they don't like them" or "are annoying." I noticed many of you thought the Ice Climbers were a terrible character(s). That is definitely not true. The Ice Climbers have so many advanced techniques and potential it's sickening. The fact that you can actually operate both characters separately from one another is a huge plus. Have you ever seen the infinite chain grab? Or have you ever desynced Nana and Popo? When the two characters aren't synced up, some serious damage can be dealt and you effectively have two characters at your disposal. Also, the fact that Nana doesn't incur damage makes her great to bait opponents with and to take other wise fatal blows.So before you bash a character, look at his/her abilities in depth and consider the potential.I think Mewtwo is a useless character. I know some people out there have gotten very good with him, but he's just so crippled that not even the best Mewtwo player can take on a skilled Marth. Mewtwo is very slow, which is unusual for a very light character and can often be KO'd at low percentages. The rest of his attacks are also slow and lacking in the strength department. He also didn't have enough comboing options and really couldn't make much of himself.

Its....... PICHU!!!! Its absolutely useless. Elec attacks cause damage to itself, attacks arent strong enough and pichu is too light (any attack throws it flying high and far).

Ask a tournament player and you'll probably get the answer "Kirby." There just isn't much the poor little puffball can do. He moves agonizingly slow, lacks combos, lacks killers, lacks a decent approach.Frankly, I don't know why so many non-tournament players use him. He doesn't offer them anything either; people always try to jump up and use down B on the opponent, a strategy that's totally foiled by the shield.

^ I run around and hurt myself as well, then again I hurt myself on purpose (not in an emo way).I always disliked Ice Climbers, when you get rid of one of the twins the other becomes completely useless.

I've spoken my mind about Ice Climbers and how they can be damn near unbeatable in the hands of a pro, but now I'll lend you my wisdom on Pichu.No, I'm not going to defend this worm, it really does suck. Recently, I think Pichu has been bumped down to rock bottom on the tier list, and that is definitely not without just cause. The thing is an abomination to all things Smash and Bros. Sure, it incurs damage every time it uses an electrical attack which is not very helpful if you're a spammer or like to throw out a wall of attacks. There are very few players who only attack rarely and make sure they hit, because it's so hard to do so. Spacing is key in this game and that involves lots of attacks to keep your distance. Pichu will just KO itself after too much mindgames or whatever.Also, you'd think they would give it some power to make up for it's self-destruction, but nooooo, it's just as strong as Pikachu, if not weaker, since its attacks do mini combos.Pichu is one of the lightest characters, as well. Much like Mewtwo, it is very floaty and sluggish, even though it can be sent flying after one smash attack. Pichu simply cannot hold its own against the other characters. So many flaws, no wonder they dumped its ass in Brawl.

Worse character will be Yoshi... his attacks are simply too weakPichi is also bad due to hurting himself with each electric attack.. might as well stay with pikachu
