Super Smash Bros

Super Smash Bros (N64)

 * Likely inspired by Joust
 * The game's prototype was programmed entirely by Satoru Iwata, and a NES-port of Joust was his first commercially published game
 * Iwata also did programming for Balloon Fight, a Joust-clone
 * Fittingly, Iwata describes Melee as "[...] the last time that I worked as an engineer 'in the field'. I was right there, sitting by programmers, in the trenches, reading code together, finding the bugs, and fixing them together."

 * Opinions:
 * Meta Knight is +1 vs Pikachu - not even, and goes +2 vs Falco and Zero Suit Samus. He has no even or losing match-ups.
 * The +2 advantage over Falco is unintuitive when comparing the characters directly, but becomes more clear when looking at the stage list. Lylat Cruise and Yoshi's Island disrupt Falco's core game-plan, Smashville allows Meta Knight to camp the moving platform and fly under the stage, Battlefield lets Meta Knight string cancelled Shuttle Loops and Tornados into safe, early KOs, and Pokemon Stadium's neutral transformation (the only one that favours Falco) can be stalled out.
 * Ice Climbers aren't better enough than the characters below them to justify their own tier. They don't lose to Zero Suit Samus, Toon Link and Peach - ROB is their only losing match-up (other than Meta Knight, of course).
 * Snake is the 3rd best character in the game. He does not lose -2 to Pikachu, or -1 to King Dedede.
 * Diddy Kong was better than Olimar, mostly due to his infinite combos that were only being performed consistently at the end of the game's life.
 * Olimar, Falco and Pikachu are separated from Snake and Diddy Kong by a tier because of their Ice Climbers match-up.
 * Marth was overrated, and is worse than Snake, Falco, Pikachu and Wario. He loses to most other top tiers -1, and has match-ups closer to even among the mid and low tiers. He was initially underrated through comparison to his Melee incarnation, but his popularity helped him maintain a player base.
 * Lucario possibly has an even match-up with Ice Climbers, thanks to his fast pummel speed.
 * King Dedede, Toon Link and Wolf were all overrated.
 * In Dedede's case, Waddle Dees are a bad projectile (as they allow the opponent to refresh their stale moves). With no means to force an approach, Dedede can be easily camped by many of the characters he could otherwise chain-grab. There was a tendency to see Dedede as a 'gatekeeper' on the tier list, but that doesn't reflect just how terrible his match-ups are against the top tiers.
 * Toon Link's projectiles can all reasonably be power-shielded on reaction, assuming familiarity in the match-up, and his tools otherwise are... unimpressive.
 * Wolf's match-up with Meta Knight is closer to -3 than -1, in spite of his apparent similarities to Fox. RCO Lag and his extra vulnerability to meteor smashes are relevant weaknesses that weren't always exploited.
 * Fox has the best match-up with Meta Knight in the game behind Meta Knight himself. Still Meta Knight's favour, though.
 * ROB was slightly underrated, as the Meta Knight and Falco match-ups can both be handled with intelligent Gyro usage, and his favourable match-up with Ice Climbers gives him utility in the metagame.
 * Pit could theoretically run away with the lead in many match-ups with clever use of the "Wing Refresh/Renewal" technique, though I never saw this used - probably for the best.
 * Donkey Kong was theoretically slightly underrated, but the incredibly difficult "Invincicopter" technique was never fully explored.
 * Sheik was slightly underrated... in the West, Japanese tournament matches show a different perspective, however.
 * JIGGLYPUFF
 * Kirby was slightly overrated. He could often take good characters to last stock, but this was something of an illusion - Kirby relies on back air for both spacing and scoring KOs, and it doesn't KO when staled. Kirby has to lose a stock himself first, and then come back immediately with a fresh back air to even the score, but this will usually makes him incapable of actually winning the match.
 * Pokemon Trainer was slightly overrated. Squirtle on his own was genuinely a really good character, and with clever use of the "Baton Pass/Zero Switch" technique you could usually safely switch to him after losing a stock. Unfortunately, any character can avoid Squirtle long enough for him to become fatigued, and a fatigued Squirtle is unable to KO. Switching to Charizard or Ivysaur just to score the KO is an option, but ultimately it's easy to force Pokemon Trainer into a very linear, exploitable playstyle.
