Best of PT's Pokemon

We're a small community based on Super Smash Bros. Brawl. We have a ranking system, but it doesn't matter.

That's right, the rankings are like the Wii Remote Jacket: nobody cares.

If you're seeing this, that means you're a guest, which means you either haven't signed up or you haven't signed in. Unfortunately, we've had to disable guest posting, so if you want to contribute to our community, you'll need to have an account. If you make a new account with us, you'll be limited to posting in the Beginners forum. Once you make just one post there, you'll become a full-fledged member, and you can post wherever (and almost whatever) you want.

We look forward to brawling with you!

As you know, to play the character well, you need to use all three of them. That being said, which of the three is the very best, like no one ever was? If you've been seeing my posts, you already know which of the three is my favourite; Ivysaur. Good range, arguably the best Tether Recovery in the game (seeing as Olimar's can be screwed up if there aren't enough Pikmin), a good projectile, Bullet Seed can really rack up damage, and his Up Smash is one of the strongest finishers around.

In the arena of logic, I fight unarmed. Posts: 236 Group: Brawler Member #22 Joined: February 10, 2008 Friend Code 1891-1038-3212	I'd call Squirtle the best. That little devil is a beast if used right. Ivysaur is pretty awesome, too, but it has a little drawback in tether recovery, the most easily gimped recovery in the game.

Squirtle is a beast, his recovery is really good, his B move is great if used right. His attacks are quick and actually quite powerful. The only problem is Ivysaur's upsmash can kill at super low %'s... He's just not as fast.

He moves much quicker than you'd think, and his Rock Smash is an amazing finisher. His aerials are all good (not as good as Squirtle's of course, but hey) and his tilt A attack has really good range.

AMAZINGJOBSQUIRTLE Posts: 1,947 Group: Forum Leader Member #9 Joined: December 5, 2007 Friend Code 4983 4600 7715	I switch my vote from Squirtle to Charizard (can't actually change it, but hey...). He's heavy, and I know how to make heavy characters fast, so woot.

Advanced Member Posts: 810 Group: Referee Member #29 Joined: March 18, 2008	Well let's see. it's hard to say who the best is, though I'm partial to Charizard now that I think about it and have seen HoT use him.

I will say this; if I could only use one of them, it would be Charizard. He's the heaviest, the best recovery of the three (Squirtle's Waterfall can be screwed up if he's going the wrong way, and Ivysaur has a Tether Recovery). and has the best killing moves overall (Ivysaur's Up Smash is still the strongest, but sometimes you need more variety). PT is all about matchups, just like in Pokemon. That's what I enjoy most about playing him.

Advanced Member Posts: 810 Group: Referee Member #29 Joined: March 18, 2008	I Personally would choose Squirtle, just because I enjoy faster characters, but Charizard is the best IMO.

Master of Awesomeness Posts: 855 Group: Brawler Member #42 Joined: April 11, 2008 Friend Code 4768-7108-3039	I would choose Ivysaur, but his recovery makes me think otherwise. Instead, I'll choose Squirtle. He's the smallest character in the game, he has awesome throws, aerials, and special moves, and he is fast. Good enough for me!

Advanced Member Posts: 810 Group: Referee Member #29 Joined: March 18, 2008	Well having watched HoT play with Ivysaur, who can use his up B to recover from practically off the screen in battlefield... I'd say Ivysaur's recovery shouldn't be counted out.

Advanced Member Posts: 810 Group: Referee Member #29 Joined: March 18, 2008	Actually if used correctly, believe it or not Meta Knight's dimensional cape is one of the best edgehogging moves in the game o.O but yeah, tether recovs are great for edgehogging.

Which is odd, since in the previous two games I didn't like playing as fast, light characters. Plus, he's Squirtle. It seems weird that Jigglypuff got in first over him and Charz (but I guess it's a popularity thing... and no offense to Jiggly)
