This is Smash fan NinTylo (which means my real name is Tyler, and I put part of my name in the very middle of Nintendo). I'm a person for anime and a lot video gaming in general.

Favorite Fighters
Excellent Fighters
Whilst there are a couple of issues, their movesets, final smashes, and playability are first rate.
Good Fighters
Problems with these fighters are more prominent, but their overall presence is still enjoyable.
Incineroar (If only his up special wasn't too risky)
Pikachu (All the nostalgia since 64)
Dr. Mario (Slower than Mario, but a good recycling of said icon's old moveset)
Shulk (A pretty powerful counterattack)
R.O.B. (He truly subverts a despised peripheral as a fighter)
Fox (He certainly deserves his legacy as a fighter)
Falco (Highest jumper anyone could use)
Kirby (Doesn't seem quite as powerful as he is himself)
Zelda (Powerful princess)
Marth (Sick neutral special)
Lucina (Good echo she is for Marth)
Sonic (His moveset could've used more hard-hitting to it)
Sheik (Quick to get use against slower opponents)
Bowser Jr. (All his alternate costumes rock)
Terry (Easier for me to get used to him than both Street Fighter characters)
Okay Fighters
This applies to fighters who aren't anything new to the franchise and overall just don't fit in well with even the good ones. On the other hand, specific traits of them are generally fine and serviceable. There can also be fighters with a good moveset of neutral and/or special attacks attached to an otherwise bad final smash or vice versa.
Palutena (Some ups and downs to her moveset, but I find her conversations with Pit and Viridi to be more appealing)
Meta Knight (Why do all of his special attacks have to rely on recovery)
Robin (I just wish most of his attacks didn't have a limit.)
Daisy (Same as her echo)
Peach (Decent moveset, worst final smash)
Diddy Kong (Post-Brawl; some of his usefulness seems lost in translation)
Dark Pit (His final smash seems weak and easy to dodge)
Pit (I find his comedy more appealing than his moveset)
Bayonetta (If only she had better special attacks)
Snake (I hardly rely on stealth)
Zero Suit Samus (Her grappling gun seems more useful than her physical attacks in general)
Ice Climbers (I don't know; they're final smash overshadows anything interesting about their moveset)
Bad Figthers
These fighters are affected by sub-par aspects that hurt their enjoyable factor. There is some redeeming value to these fighters, but their cons overshadow their pros at times.
Hero (I think they could've been done better if their down special wasn't so random, and was more fair for online matches; otherwise, this fighter is fine enough)
Jigglypuff (Weak as its moveset is, at least I can get used to it)
Chrom (Nice moveset, but his up special is problematic if I mained him)
Lucario (I don't think high damage is worth a more powerful risk at all)
Wii Fit Trainer (A strange idea for a fighter)
Simon (Half his specials are better than his neutral attacks)
Richter (Same as his echo)
Villager (Why do they bother introducing fighters like this?)
Terrible Fighters
There is little to no redeeming value in these fighters and they may as well have weak movesets with
Duck Hunt (Their moveset is more tolerable that their actual character)
Mr. Game & Watch (Bland to say the least)
Ken (Nothing useful but his up special, unlike his echo)
Toon Link (post-SSB4; his neutral moveset changed for the worst)
Joker (Over-hyped and he's all style, no substance)
Ryu (All his moves are next to impossible for me to get used to)
Atrocious Fighters
Nothing about these fighters is redeemable and they go above and beyond in lacking quality that terrible fighters do.
My Custom Classic Mode: NinTylo Mains
My adversaries (if Classic Mode was customizable like Stage Builder) consist of some of my mains. The Mii Fighters represent me and my favorite costumes. The penultimate battle is against a giant Yoshi, who's been my main since Melee (much less 64). The boss of my route is Rathalos based on my love of dragons no matter the type (besides wyverns).

Trivial Theories
- If I had a dollar for everyone who's highest Classic Mode scores comes from Yoshi (my main), I'd be filthy stinkin' rich.
- I'd say it's possible to get a no damage run in King K. Rool's Classic Mode route with all six of his opponents and the boss when scoring 9.9 without a TAS. (Assuming you're really lucky)
- My highest score coming from every opponent before the boss came from King K. Rool.
- If you combine Piranha Plant's scorability with Rathalos and how high I could seriously score with King K. Rool and his playable opponents, then it adds up to a higher Classic Mode score than Yoshi.
- Had I not taken damage on Galleom with King K. Rool, I likely would've scored higher than Bowser.
- Not to mention, if K. Rool had Rathalos for a boss instead of Galleom, I would've scored higher than Yoshi on the flipside. (Assuming he can score just as high on Rathalos as anyone but Duck Hunt and Hero can.
- Had I not taken damage on Galleom with King K. Rool, I likely would've scored higher than Bowser.
- It's pretty much a guarantee that your lowest score in Classic Mode will come from either Mario or Jigglypuff.
- Ironically, Mario fights the most variable opponents (with a total of 23), yet is my lowest scoring character.
- Likely due to how low you could score from Giga Bowser for a unique boss.
- Ironically, Mario fights the most variable opponents (with a total of 23), yet is my lowest scoring character.
- On the flipside, Mario's green, egg-laying companion ironically scores the highest.
- Not to mention, Yoshi remains my main since Melee. (Much less 64)
