→In competitive play: Modified Scizor's blurb with some more info
Omega Tyrant (talk | contribs) (→In competitive play: Updating; removed Mr. R because I found just a couple low tier tournament usages, which were apparently not noteworthy enough to land him on the best Links thread on Smashboards. Removed Scabe for competing in a very weak region and not doing that great there. Removed Xavier because he has just a few mediocre results. Also unsure of the blurb for Scizor, his wiki page doesn't have much Brawl results, but the aforementioned SB thread backs up the claim of being the best) |
