Incorrect. I'm the best player in my group because I'm the only one who generally can keep up with the speed of the game, especially making proper use of Fox's speed.
The result? No one else wants to play. I'd rather play a SSB slow than
not play it at all.
Lucky for me, Sakurai seems to agree.

It's a god damned fighting videogame. It's not turn based. You can't plan an attack when people are pounding you and throwing shit at you from all directions. Strategy can bite my left nut and stay in Advance Wars.
Nonsense. It's possible to see an opening, use it to throw/maneuver an opponent to a certain location and then smash them, it's just more difficult in SSBM because the duration of those openings is much shorter. Ricocheting people off walls via throws to set them up for smashes is just one example of how strategy plays into this game.

Wait... contradiction! You just said what I said, I wish I read that earlier to save me some typing! Oh well, thanks anyway!
Yes, because reflex means more than knowledge of your character, your opponent's character, the level and its hazards, etc. When your character's attacks can happen much faster than your opponent's character, why care what that character can do?

That isn't for Brawl to resolve, it's for YOU to resolve.
Tiers. Don't make me laugh. The competitive SSBM playing community has to be most niche group of all time, hardly an indicator that some characters can not possibly win a tournament.
And once again, the very subject which has never seen its end on SSB messageboards everywhere. I think they do matter, you do not. Will that ever change? Not this lifetime.

1. You are the only person in the entire world who cares.
I never said I "cared". I was just pointing it out as evidence that the game has polish issues.

2. Is this just a flat out lie? I seem to recall choosing random characters quite often.
You drop your token in the CORNER of the screen. Not on a square which says "Random". I would think that (like the level select screen) a random square would have been added if the game had been polished.

ANYONE can win ANY match with ANY character. THIS IS A FACT! It is the ONLY fact. Tiers are entirely subjective.
I'd wager that hundreds of SSBM tournaments are held every year. Were your logic accurate, then the winning character should be as random as the stage select, not an consistent pick from the top 4-5 characters.

Why aren't you whinging about tiers in SSB? If anything SSBM corrected the mistakes in the rushed SSB, by toning down Pikachu and making Jigglypuff a bit more powerful.
Wait...I thought you didn't believe in tiers, yet you think Pikachu needed to be toned down?
Tiers in SSB weren't based entirely around
speed. Don't get me wrong, I would have liked to see Kirby and Ness balanced a bit (not nerfed into ineptitude) but characters were stronger due to more power, not more
speed. This places the focus of the game less on reflex, unlike SSBM where the top tiers are held by the fastest characters and this, IMHO, is what kills the desire to play the game for most of my friends.
I'm hoping for online SSBB because, at the very least, it will ensure that I can always find an opponent.

No thanks, I don't want every person with the game to have a different version of it. This isn't PC gaming where devs can release broken games and "fix" them through broken user feedback like yours.
I agree with this, but this might be what we wind up seeing anyway. Like I said, one of the later revisions made a change to Bowser so there WERE in fact different versions of SSBM out there (but it's only Bowser so it hardly mattered).
If they release the game and the option was there to balance characters after release, I think they'll do it.

In the end, you are whinging into a brick wall of FACTS. Like the fact that SSBM outsold SSB on a smaller userbase. That says more to Nintendo than anything anyone here ever could.
Again, incorrect. The Japanese comment submission forms for Sakurai say far more than anything said in English, and judging by the fact that Sakurai has already said he intends to moderate the speed and make the game easier, I think I'm not the only one who sees these as changes for the better.
And yes, the C-stick makes it possible for noobs to have a chance to win time games, which really shouldn't be how it is, considering that they'll never get better if all they do is mash the C-stick.
