Special Edition Top 10 list!

Welcome everyone to the special edition top ten list!  I thought since I had yet to post in 2 weeks or so I would go all out for you guys and do a fun (to me) TOP 40(!!) list. That's right, top 40.  In honor of the Xbox One and PS4 releasing I am going back to my roots yet again, by ranking every single playable character in my favorite video game series....SUPER SMASH BROS.!

Ready? Set. GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

SSB, SSBM, SSBB (Earthbound)

40. Ness: I HATE THIS CHARACTER. LIKE EVERYTHING ABOUT HIM. With his damn PK fire's and PK thunders it irritated the hell out of me.  Then he would follow that BS up by smashing you in the face with his own personal baseball bat.  Screw you Ness.

SSBB (Pikmin)

39. Olimar: I ALSO HATE THIS GUY TOO. Him and Ness are essentially tied for my most hated character in the Super Smash Bros series.  Who wants little monsters with flowers on their head to attack you?! That's so unmanly and LAME.

SSBM (Pokemon)

38. Pichu: Pichu was a lighter and less powerful version of Pikachu (he does evolve into Pikachu afterall).  Because of that Pichu is terrible in every way possible.

SSBM (Mario)

37. Dr.Mario: Mario is an average character already as is, now let's just make a clone of him and give him a PhD. Seems legit.

SSBM (The Legend of Zelda)

36. Young Link: A lighter and less powerful version of Link, not nearly as fun to play with. Nothing special here

SSB, SSBM, SBBB (Pokemon)

35. Jigglypuff: She is irritating.  If you even tap her in that little face of hers she goes flying off the map into yesteryear.  The only redeeming quality of her is the satisfaction you get when you get off a successful rest on an opponent, that my friends is top notch.

SSBM, SBBB (Ice Climber)

34. Ice Climbers: At first glance you might think "hey, two is better than one right?!".  WRONG.  YOU ARE DEAD WRONG. These little cats can't do shit without each other.  Just knock out Popo and Nana will get out of your hair cause she can't do ANYTHING without Popo there to support her.  Apparently they are in one of the top tiers on the tier list (yes, there are tier lists for Smash Bros) and that's a head scratcher to me.

SSBB (Earthbound)

33. Lucas: I won't lie, I never played an Earthbound game so I had no idea who Lucas was when I started playing Brawl.  He is virtually the same as Ness but for some reason, I don't want to throw him off a bridge like I do Ness.  I guess that's a positive right?!

SSBM (Fire Emblem)

32. Roy: He is actually quite a boss.  I had a decent time playing with him in Melee but he was outshined because Marth brought down the hammer and brought it down HARD.

SSBB (Sonic)

31. Sonic: I actually don't like playing with Sonic.  His speed is by far the fastest in the game but I can never control the little bastard enough to do anything with him.  I always kill myself when using Sonic because I run myself off the stage at least three times.

SSBB (Kirby)

30. King Dedede: His character is one of the most fun to actually play with.  They made his character have some spunk and it shows when you fight with him.  Charging up his hammer and smashing faces in is by far the most fun you can have with Dedede.

SSBM (Pokemon)

29. Mewtwo: This guy was the holy grail to me in Melee.  He was the almighty Mewtwo from the generation one Pokemon games. Too bad he wasn't all that fun to play with and in my eyes, Lucario is a better fighter than he is.

SSBB (R.O.B)

28. R.O.B: R.O.B actually takes some serious skill to use.  If you can master R.O.B you can absolutely shred people and wreck their days to your hearts content.  I haven't mastered him, so this is where he ranks.

SSBB (Donkey Kong)

27. Diddy Kong: Diddy didn't choose the thug life, the thug life choose him.  When you get his final smash and you fly around on a jet pack just bombing pea shooter bullets on the stage is just top.  Otherwise, he isn't a terrible amount of fun to play with.

SSB, SSBM, SSBB (Mario)

26. Mario: He is average. In Mario Tennis, Mario Golf and any other similar game he is always the average player.  A jack of all trades but a master at none if you will.  He is still average in Smash Bros too.

SSBM, SSBB (Game & Watch)

25. Mr. Game & Watch: This guy right here is some serious fun to play with.  He has some super trolly moves that make him so much fun to play with.  He also takes some serious skill to master as well.  He just flips burgers like a motherfucker and makes you pay if you want to take a bite of them.

SSB, SSBM, SSBB (Yoshi)

24. Yoshi: The sole reason Yoshi is so high on this list is for two reasons: 1- He swallows you and shits you out as an egg then turns around and beats the crap out of you and 2- His Yoshi bomb move is by far the best move he has and its so fun to pull off over and over and over again.

SSBB (Pokemon)

23. Pokemon Trainer: Everyone wins here.  It's three different evolution's of the original starters in generation one.  Obviously they got it right because Charizard is the sole final evolution they choose.  Using his rock smash move and screaming at the top of your lungs "TAKE THAT ROCK TO THE  FACE FOOL" is by far the best part about playing with the Pokemon Trainer.

SSBB (Metal Gear)

22. Snake: Snake is a whole ton of fun if you can use him correctly.  Just setting C4, tossing grenades and using RPG'S is fantastic fun when you can pull it off correctly. He is another character that takes some skill in order to use correctly.  If you do, oh boy, the opponents in for a fire work show.

SSB, SSBM, SSBB (Mario)

21. Luigi: The picture says it all.  Luigi is immensely fun to play with and is an incredibly trolly character. He launches himself at you headfirst without a care in the world.  His final smash is incredibly weird and creepy too.

SSBM, SSBB (The Legend of Zelda)

20. Ganondorf: He is so slow and I mean SLOWWWWWWWWWWWWWW. But holy shit does he pack a punch.  Using his down heel kick is an absolute game changer, he also possesses his own verion of the Falcon punch/kick.  His final smash too is epic on so many different levels.

SSB, SSBM, SSBB (Donkey Kong)

19. Donkey Kong: The original big boy of Smash Bros.  Taking your time to wind up his punch and then unleashing it on some unsuspecting fool is one of the most satisfying feelings in any game ever. He also has his own suicide move when he grabs you, holds you over his head and then can walk around with you briefly.  All people do is walk off the ledge and bring an opponent with them.

SSBM, SSBB (Mario)

18. Peach: She is so underrated.  And so much fun to play with.  She harmlessly floats around the map with her umbrella and then out of the blue she hip checks you into next week.  Her final smash is sub-par but she makes up for it by beating people to a pulp with a frying pan.

SSBM, SSBB (Mario)

17. Bowser: Similar to Yoshi, Bowser is this high the list for two reasons: 1-His Bowser bomb where he slams you with his huge ass and 2- His suicide move is the best in the game.  He just grabs the opponent does a 360 flip and if there were ground and belly smashes you, otherwise you are under the belly of a one way train down to hell.

SSB, SSBM, SSBB (The Legend of Zelda)

16. Link: Link is the original sword wielding bad ass.  I wish they gave his character a little more emotion or he might be higher on this list.  His final smash, however, is one of the coolest in the game.

SSB, SSBM, SSBB (Metroid)

15.Samus/Zero Suit Samus: We all dreaded when you gave Samus enough time to charge up her blaster all the way so you would be forced to play the rest of the game in fear that Samus would just unload her blaster on your body.

SSBM, SSBB (The Legend of Zelda)

14. Zelda/Shiek: In term of two is better than one, Smash Bros. got this one right.  You get the sweet speed and throwing knives with Shiek.  With Zelda you get use one of the most annoying and spammable distance moves in the entire series with her Din's Fire.  Together, the bow and light arrow final smash is one of the coolest in the game.

SSBB (The Legend of Zelda)

13. Toon Link: Something about Toon Link that just makes him more fun to play than regular Link.  I think it is his toony like animations for his bombs and everything he does.

SSBB (Wario)

12. Wario: We have now made it to the ultimate troll character of the entire series.  Wario is the epitome of a troll.  He rides around on a motorcycle with the intention of running you over then picking it up and throwing it at your head.  He unhinges his jaw and bites you for 4-5 seconds.  The ultimate troll move is his fart. Yes you read that correctly, a fart.  A well timed fart will blow your opponents all over the map begging for mercy.

SSBB (Kid Icarus)

11. Pit: Pit is awesome and I mean super-mega awesome.  His wings are game changers.  They save him from so many sticky spots and then he just rides off into the sunset.  His final smash is a little weak but his sword becomes a dual wield and he just wrecks days by floating around the map and then coming in face first with his shield.


MADE IT TO THE TOP TEN! I hope you guys are still with me!

SSBB (Pokemon)

10. Lucario: Lucario is incredibly underrated.  He is the only real risk/reward character in the game.  He possesses something called aura that as he takes more damage, his attacks get stronger.  Being able to just tap someone when you are over 100% damage and send them flying is one of the best effects in the game.

SSBM, SSBB (Fire Emblem)

9. Marth: Marth and Ike.  Ike and Marth. They are absolute beasts in the game.  They wreck things like there is no tomorrow with their super powered sword attacks.

SSBB (Fire Emblem)

8. Ike: Ike and Marth are interchangeable for me.  They both accomplish the same thing by charging up their swords and unleashing hell on anyone in the near vicinity.  I just prefer Ike a little more because seems just a tad bit faster than Marth.

SSBM, SSBB (Star Fox)

7. Falco: Yep this guy is this high.  One can't ignore the douchiness he has.  It gravitates players to him.  He is also wicked fast.

SSBB (Kirby)

6. Meta Knight: This cat right here, is OP.  There is a reason he is in his own tier on the tier list.  He demolishes anyone who gets in his way with speed and incredible sword skills that would make Link jealous.

SSB, SSBM, SSBB (Pokemon)

5. Pikachu: Ahhhh yes good ole pikachu.  Hands down the best character in the original Smash Bros.  He has hands down the most spammable move in the entire SB series and that's his thunder move.  Just keep spamming thunder and make your friends throw the controller through the TV screen.

SSB, SSBM, SSBB (Star Fox)

4. Fox: My favorite protagonist of any video game EVER.  He has speed and the ability to juggle you in the air and leave you absolutely helpless until he decided to call on the land-master and blow you all the way to Corneria.

SSBB (Star Fox)

3. Wolf: I can't let you beat me Star Fox.  My favorite antagonist in any video game EVER.  His land-master is easily the most powerful of the three Star Fox characters and his speed is just plain insane.  Also has the ability to juggle you until you beg for mercy....which he won't grant until he destroys you thoroughly.

SSB, SSBM, SSBB (F-Zero)

2. Captain Falcon: This guy right here, has the one move that could bring the world to an end.  Everyone knows it and everyone dreads it: The Falcon Punch.  Getting off a successful Falcon Punch is equivalent to winning the lottery.  It is by far and away the best feeling in any video game I have ever played.  It almost feels like slow motion to your opponent, they know its coming and they can't do anything to stop it.  Friendships were halted because of  Captain Falcon and his fists. SHOW ME YA MOVES!

SSB, SSBM, SSBB (Kirby)

1. Kirby: Yes Kirby.  He is easily my number one favorite character.  But wait Drew, are you some sort of button mashing noob? No, No I am not.  You won't see me sit there and do the rock transform move over and over and over again.  I have mastered Kirby and have it down to a science.  The fact that he can inhale any character and take one of their moves (like the Falcon Punch for example) makes Kirby and absolute beast.  The addition of a wooden hammer made him over the top fun for me.  It's also a load of fun to use his final smash and cook the opponents and send them flying off the map while you sit down and enjoy some delicious treats from your hard work.




Whew! I hope I didn't lose you guys! This post took some work and I enjoyed every damn second of it. I hope you guys enjoyed reading about some of my video game rage too!
