Ash si appoggiò pesantemente sulla spalla di Misty.

Ti preeeego!

La ragazza fece una smorfia poco contenta, guardando l’amico Ash con quell’espressione disperata, tipica di un bambino capriccioso.

Ash, avevamo fatto un patto…- disse lei per l’ennesima volta, cercando di nascondere l’imbarazzo di avere il suo viso così vicino. Anche dopo anni, quel ragazzo non smetteva di farla sentire come una bambina alla sua prima cotta.

Ok, ok… ma perché proprio uno spettacolo di Rudy?- brontolò lui, comodamente appoggiato sulla spalla di lei, quasi a cercare rifugio in quella stretta intima, come se fosse la cosa più naturale al mondo.

Perché sua sorella ci ha regalato i biglietti.

Ma lo sai che è così noooioso!

Solo perché non ti piace ballare, non vuol dire che il ballo sia noioso.

D’accordo, allora è Rudy a essere noooioso! E borioso!- la guardò con un’espressione tanto tragica da essere buffa- Dai, anche tu alzi gli occhi al cielo quando inizia a parlare di sé.

Misty cercò di rimanere seria, ma pensando alle parole di Ash non poté evitare di farsi sfuggire un sorriso complice.

Hai ragione, a volte Rudy è così… pieno di sé…

Visto?- disse trionfante Ash guardando l’amica che con difficoltà cercava di non ridere.

… Ma ho promesso a sua sorella che ci saremo andati.

Ash fece uno sbuffo indispettito e si staccò dalla spalla di Misty.

Va bene, ma non sorprenderti se dormirò durante tutto lo spettacolo- incrociò le braccia dietro la testa.

Non sarebbe una novità- commentò lei e salì per prima le scale per entrare nel teatro. Ash le fu subito dietro.

I due ragazzi si avvicinarono ai loro posti riservati, quando una ragazzina li notò e andò incontro a loro.

Misty! Sei venuta!- disse la ragazzina raggiante, per poi notare anche il ragazzo dai capelli nero corvino dietro di lei- … E Ash- aggiunse con un tono meno entusiasta.

Te l’avevo promesso- disse gentilmente Misty con un sorriso.

Ti ringrazio, mio fratello sarà felice di sapere che sei… siete qui- si corresse all’ultimo- Godetevi lo spettacolo- li salutò e andò a sedersi da un’altra parte.

Sempre felice di vedermi, eh?- commentò sarcastico Ash, mentre entrambi si sedevano nelle poltroncine vicino al palco.

Ancora con questa storia?- disse Misty stancamente, ignorando che la ragazzina stava guardando da lontano il ragazzo con uno sguardo poco amichevole- Non ha niente contro di te, non hai visto che era contenta di vederti?

Oh sì… era contenta di vedere te… - precisò lui- Immagino di aver rovinato i suoi piani…- borbottò con un susurro che Misty non sentì, perché in quel momento le luci si spensero e il tendone si aprì, facendo entrare gli artisti con un sottofondo di musica.

Misty osservò i ballerini muoversi con grazia sul palco, ma non poté evitare di notare che il ragazzo accanto a lei ridacchiava di nascosto. Lei gli diede una gomitata per farlo smettere. Erano così vicini al palco che avrebbero potuto vederlo.

Ash, ti sentiranno- sussurrò lei indispettita.

Ehi, non è colpa mia se è vestito in quel modo ridicolo- si giustificò lui con voce bassa.

Misty si limitò a sospirare, anche se non poteva dare torto a Ash… Rudy sembrava davvero buffo con quella calzamaglia. Ma non poteva certo ammetterlo davanti a Ash… era stata lei a insistere che ogni tanto dovevano provare dei passatempi più culturali.

Notò però che Ash la stava guardando con un’espressione gongolante.

… cosa?

Stai ridendo.

No, non è vero- si difese lei, cercando nuovamente di sembrare seria. Era dura cercare di essere la persona più matura nel gruppo- Ora fa silenzio.

Come vuoi…- lui si limitò ad alzare le spalle, sussurrando mentre si sistemava nella poltroncina- Quasi invidio Pikachu che è rimasto con Brock.

Misty evitò di commentare per concentrarsi sul balletto. Nel giro di qualche minuto però, avvertì un delicato peso sulla sua spalla. Girò la testa lentamente, e il suo sguardo si scontrò con la dolcezza di Ash che aveva posato la testa sulla sua spalla, cedendo al sonno.

Per un istante sentì un brivido leggero, una sensazione di intimità familiare, che cercò ovviamente di scacciare velocemente.

Ecco, lo sapeva… Ash e il teatro erano due cose incompatibili.

Avrebbe volentieri svegliato Ash con una forte gomitata, ma un mormorio assonnato simile al suo nome uscì dalle sue labbra mentre si sistemava meglio sulla spalla di lei. La mano di lui sfiorò le dita di Misty, quasi intrecciandosi in un legame invisibile.

Un leggero rossore colorò le guance di Misty, ma non era dovuto alle luci del palco.

Ash, beatamente immerso nel sonno, era così vicino a lei che, nonostante la leggera frustrazione, Misty si lasciò andare a un sospiro rassegnato.

Un piccolo sorriso affiorò sulle labbra di Misty e decise di accomodarsi anch’essa vicino ad Ash.

Solo per quella volta avrebbe lasciato correre. In fondo, erano poche le occasioni di stare così vicini senza che sembrasse imbarazzante per entrambi… senza che i sentimenti incasinassero la loro complicata amicizia.

E in quel buio avvolgente del teatro, i loro cuori battevano all'unisono, forgiando un legame che andava oltre le parole.

°*°*°*°*°*°

Ok, dovevo scrivere due righe per accompagnare il disegno, ma io noooo... devo sempre esagerare 🙄

E per chi se lo chiedesse... ho fatto prima il disegno e poi mi sono fatta ispirare per scrivere, non viceversa 😅 Mi viene più difficile disegnare in base alla storia.

“Preparatevi a passare dei guai!” così inizia il motto del Team Rocket collettivo antagonista del anime giapponese Poketto Monsutā (1997) apparso nella televisione italiana nel 2000 con il nome di Pokémon che se non ha condizionato la cultura di tutto il mondo sicuramente l’ha fatto per chi scrive in questo momento “e dei guai molto grossi” risponde James.

Questo trio dai capelli magenta e lilla appare in tutte le puntate ripetendo sistematicamente il loro motto

proteggeremo il mondo della devastazione, uniremo tutti i popoli della nostra nazione, denunceremo i mali della verità e del amore,estenderemo il nostro potere fino alle stelle…

utilizzando dei travestimenti nel tentativo di rubare Pikachu per poter entrare nelle grazie del loro Boss Giovanni, fallendo miseramente ogni volta. Giovanni è un uomo dai capelli corti, in completo e camicia dalla doppia vita: nella penombra è il Capo del Team Rocket mentre alla luce del sole è il Capopalestra di Smeraldopoli. Insomma rappresenta a pieno titolo un uomo di successo, un collezionista il quale piano è quello di impossessarsi di tutti i Pokémon rari.

«Il Louvre è nato da un atto di aggressione. Fu attaccato nel 1972, durante la Rivoluzione francese, e da deposito di collezioni fatte con bottini di guerre feudali (una versione d’epoca dello stoccaggio in porto franco) fu trasformato in un museo di arte pubblico, probabilmente il primo al mondo, inaugurando un modello di cultura nazionale. In seguito divenne la nave ammiraglia culturale di un impero coloniale dedito a seminare cultura in altri mondi con metodi autoritari»

Hito Steyerl, Duty Free Art, L’arte nell’epoca della guerra civile planetaria, Johan & Levi Editore 2018

chissà perché per legittimarsi in un discorso si dice sempre “da sempre”, “da quando sono nat*”, come per dare più importanza alle cose che si sta dicendo, come se la coerenza fosse un valore aggiunto o come se la tradizione o l’autoctonia fossero ancora delle parole che non ricordano soltanto tristi monumenti negli angoli delle strade da dover pulire dagli escrementi dei piccioni e visitare ogni tanto quando non si va a scuola. In ogni caso da che ho memoria, quando veniva raccontata una storia c’erano i buoni e poi c’erano i cattivi e nella pausa pranzo nel giardino delle elementari con lə amichə giocavamo al Team Rocket, in breve facevamo guai, alle volte i guai erano semplici come rubare la palla a chi faceva il gioco del calcio, altre più complessi come colorare le pareti bianche dei muri bianchi con il verde del prato, insomma alla fine si risolveva tutto con una nota sul registro e tutto tornava come prima: le pareti pulite, l’erba nelle aiuole -non calpestabili- ed il gioco del calcio indisturbato che tutto sommato mi ricorda molto il motto della quarantena “ritorneremo alla normalità” ed eccoci qua, dopo tutto ciò che ci dice la storia a parlare di tradizione, storia e normalità. Ebbene ecco cosa hanno in comune queste cose le si ritrova nei musei, le pensano le persone che hanno il potere, le organizzano secondo la loro logica che spesso, per non dire sempre è autoritaria, gerarchica e cronologica. Si segue una linea dunque dritta e retta che va a finire nel giusto e che nega tutto ciò che considera sbagliato. Non c’è tempo Momo smettila di cercare Cassiopea! È una cosa seria, ne va del nostro onore. Come tutte le parole che abbiamo elencato prima le cose peggiorano quando si parla di Nazione allora li è immediato aggiungere ferrovia e guerra, insomma confine per finire in burocrazia, documenti e decoro.

«Abbiamo recitato per tanto tempo. Siamo attori consumati. Adesso possiamo cominciare a vivere. E sarà un gran bello spettacolo».

Dal manifesto del Gay Liberation Front inglese (1970)

Come si fa quindi a parlare di autonomia del linguaggio nel arte contemporanea da parte della cultura queer? Ma sopratutto può esistere una storia della cultura queer? e chi è a farla, soltanto le persone queer?

«Così abbiamo deciso di chiamarci queer. Usare “queer” è un modo di ricordarci di come veniamo percepiti dal resto del mondo. È un modo di dirci che non dobbiamo essere persone spiritose e piacevoli che devono condurre vite discrete al margine del mondo eterosessuale. Usiamo queer come uomini gay che amano lesbiche che amano essere queer. Queer, a differenza di gay, non significa maschio»

«Essere queer significa condurre vite diverse: niente a che vedere con il mainstream, il profitto, il patriottismo, il patriarcato, o l’essere assimilat*. Niente a che vedere con direttori esecutivi, privilegio ed elitarismo»

Dal Queer nation manifesto, diffuso durante la marcia del New York Gay Pride Day del (1990)

Di certo ci sono solo i dubbi e sicuramente abbiamo capito che la certezza appartiene a quella visione del mondo straight che poi è il contrario di queer. Che poi è quella mentalità per la quale si fanno le torri ed il punto di una torre è averci la più alta della città, lo so bene io che vengo da Lucca e che il signor Guinigi -per superare il limite di altezza che poi bruciava tutta la città- ci ha messo un albero sopra, adesso gli alberi li mettono sui balconi così abbiamo anche risolto il problema del verde e delle pareti che si lavano bene. Oggi non si chiamano più grattacieli ma il concetto è sempre il solito, deve stare in centro, deve occupare spazio e deve essere la più grossa e noi dobbiamo passare il nostro tempo a lavorarci dentro oppure fuori a guardarlo dicendo “che bravo”. Ma siccome poi succede che le cose non durano bisogna farle ricordare ed ecco perché sono importanti i musei, gli archivi e la storia. Un pò come nelle case quando le cose vanno a male bisogna metterle nel frigorifero perchè è poi tutto un problema di conservazione quindi poi c’è la questione del restauro, ma soprattuto del cosa ricordare.

Picasso, oh no, otra vaz tú! Oh no, otra vez Warhol! Cecilia Gimenez lo sa bene non si tocca Hecce Homo, altrimenti lo si rovina.

Dórica, dórica, jónica, jónica

Corintia, corintia, corintia, corintia

Historia del arte, penes con pincel

Famosos, pintaje, sin píxel, con papel

Quindi si sa che andando al contrario si finisce fuori dai binari e per niente confuse diciamo addio a confini, norma e patriarcato. È un pò come quando ti spiegano la storia del arte nella quale ti spiegano a cosa dare importanza allora è importante l’autore e che poi si finisce per entrare alla Tate e se ne esce che si è letto solo un sacco di didascalie, per non parlare che se poi si va davvero nei musei si finisce per accorgersi di cosa sono, da dove vengono le opere e chi non finisce ne nei musei, ne negli archivi e neanche nella storia. Della serie Amal Clooney sta ancora lavorando per riportare i fregi del Partenone ad Atene, in Virginia rimuovono la statua del generale Robert Lee e nelle americhe vengono abbattute le statue di Cristoforo Colombo.

Ma quindi dove si va a cercare la cultura queer se non la si può trovare nei musei? nelle istituzioni? nelle scuole -grazie provita- o negli archivi?

«Se davvero vogliamo salvare il museo, dovremmo scegliere la rovina pubblica rispetto alla redditività privata. E se non è possibile, si vede che è arrivato il momento di occupare collettivamente il museo, di svuotarlo dai debiti e di alzare le barricate del buon senso, di spegnere le luci affinché, senza alcuna possibilità di spettacolo, possa funzionare come il parlamento di un’altra sensibilità»

New York, 14 marzo 2015

Paul B. Preciado, Un appartamento su Urano. Cronache del transito, Fandango Libri, 2020

La si incontra per strada, alle volte nel letto, altre a cena? forse come ipotizza José Esteban Munoz non la si incontra mai o come consiglia Jack Halberstam bisogna fallire al momento guardando alla storia si può osservare soltanto che i tentativi di farla durare l’hanno poi ingabbiata, fissata e cristallizzata. Quindi la si trova in cose che non durano, in arti minori, non è arte da museo e non è arte Classica, nè bianca, nè occidentale. È un estetica fatta di spari, lanci, ricami. Spillette, scritte sui muri, slogan urlati. Toppe serigrafate, volantini distribuiti, pelle tatuata. Attività ludiche in locali notturni, bagni pubblici, parchi, pinete, parcheggi come case private, strade e spazi abbandonati.

«IL QUEER NON È QUI. Il queer è un’aspirazione. Detto in altre parole, non siamo ancora queer. Potremmo non raggiungere mai il queer, ma possiamo percepirlo, come la calda luce di un orizzonte infuso di possibilità. Non siamo mai stat* queer, eppure il queer esiste per noi come un’aspirazione che può essere distillata dal passato e usata per immaginare un futuro.»

José Esteban Munoz, Cruising Utopia, NERO 2022

È un gesto irripetibile come Silvia Spolato con un cartello con scritto “sono lesbica”, come Sylvia Rivera che lancia -la seconda- bottiglia molotov o la dragqueen che getta il caffè in faccia al poliziotto. Sono gesti di rottura e pratiche transfemministe di cura e mutoaiuto come quelle delle STAR (Sreet Transvestite Action Revolutionary) o delle Queen o delle Madri delle Black Ball. Sex worker, razzializzate, senza casa che per poter esprimere la propria cultura organizzavano TAZ! È un arte che non si posiziona prima del museo, non può trovare una forma perchè non può avere definizione o profilo.

«Già da prima, da sempre, l’attivismo, non solo transfemminista e queer, produce saperi “indisciplinati” che hanno lo stesso valore della produzione accademica: servono infrastrutture che se ne prendano cura dal basso e si preoccupino della loro libera circolazione, senza privatizzare (anche in senso economico) questa ricchezza comune.

[…]

Servono luoghi per organizzare collettivamente il rifiuto della “promessa di riconoscimento” sulla quale si basa tanta parte dello sfruttamento del lavoro intellettuale dentro e fuori l’accademia. Perché l’accademia, in questo senso, è solo un esempio nemmeno il più importante.

Fallire sempre meglio, postfazione a cura di CRAAAZI di Jack Halberstam, L’arte queer del fallimento, minimum fax 2022

È uno spazio liberato dal patriarcato, dal consumismo e dal colonialismo. È uno luogo dissedente dal sistema ciseteronormativo che può essere il palco di un locale, una casa come una pineta. Ma chissà come mai è sempre un atto considerato illegale, illecito o criminale. È uno scandalo, è perverso, è storto. Ed è uno spazio che va occupato, perchè altrimenti visti i rapporti di potere si finisce per essere sussunte, canonizzate e sfruttate perchè i processi di istituzzionalizazione riconoscono certo la legittimità ma comportano allo stesso tempo la rinuncia di autonomia nel percorso di ricerca e sfruttamento e normalizzazione per chi porta avanti le stesse lotte sociali fuori, dentro o contro le istituzioni.

Un arte dal basso che non può entrare in un museo se non che ricodificata, resa accettabile, sbiancata.

è solo dopo che vengono rese innocue al ordine stabilito che le persone queer entrano nei musei, nella moda, nelle belle arti. Non è queer aderire al sistema che l’opprime, lo impedisce e lo combatte: Sgombero di Atlantide 9 ottobre 2015 #AtlantideResiste!

If someone has only met JQ, I implore you to meet another celebrity at a con. The difference between the way JQ and Jamie Bower treat their fans is night and day.

People said JQ was just “out of it” in Philly because of the work visa thing and cramming 3 days into 1. Fine, totally fair and understandable.

But he was still miserable in Dallas the next weekend, not smiling or showing any appreciation for fans.

And MONTHS LATER, Portland con attendees reported the same kind of apathetic, couldn’t-care-less attitude.

I’m cackling imagining JQ’s surprised Pikachu face when barely anyone bothers to see him at cons. His attitude shift before and after booking bigger projects is jarring, and he’s definitely heading towards getting a reputation for being a douche.

What always gets me is the videos of him seen walking through areas where there are fans around and he pretends he doesn’t see them. A quick little nod and a smile in their direction would go a long way. Some of those people couldn’t afford to buy the pics or autographs and just wanted to see you. Acknowledging their existence is bottom of the barrel kinda shit.

Character Viability in Brawl

This article was written by the Brawl Central community, check us out over on: https://brawlcentral.carrd.co/

Brawl is not exactly seen as a very balanced game. Its best character is commonly considered the best character in Smash history, and its worst character is commonly considered the worst in Smash history. However, Brawl actually has numerous viable characters (characters who are able to win a major solo). But who are these characters, and how many of its 37 characters are viable? If we go down the tier list, we can get a good idea of who these characters are. This was inspired by Asumsaus’ video on Melee’s viable characters, make sure to check that out as well. How Many Characters Are Viable in Melee?

Generally, as you go down the tier list, characters generally become less viable. Some characters have already won a major, and in this case they are proven as viable. Any other characters may be viable in theory, but they haven’t proven themselves just yet. We’ll start with the characters who have been proven as viable.

Note that this is going off of SSBWiki’s list of majors.

The characters who have won more than one major:

Meta Knight

Ice Climbers

No explanation needed for these two characters

Diddy Kong

Diddy Kong has won numerous majors. ADHD has won 4 different majors, dating all the way back to S.N.E.S. in 2009, and Gnes also won MLG Dallas 2010. These have all shown that Diddy has what it takes to win. Having decent matchups vs both Meta Knight and Ice Climbers, Diddy is easily the 3rd most viable character on our list. While this isn’t considered a major by SmashWiki, Player-1 did win CEO Dreamland 2020, which is only not considered a major by them due to its lower entrant count. Diddy Kong is a very strong character who has shown he can win and in my opinion is the most viable character after Meta Knight and Ice Climbers.

Snake

Like Diddy Kong, Snake has won numerous majors. Ally won 7 majors, 5 of them using only Snake, and the other two using Snake and other characters. DSF also won a major using Meta Knight and Snake. The most recent major Ally won was GOML 2016, using Snake. Snake has been a staple character of Brawl since the very beginning, and has certainly been proven as viable.

The characters who have won only one major

Olimar

Despite being a consensus top 4 character, Olimar has only ever won a single major solo, which is very surprising. This was Numabura 7; a 110 entrant Japanese major, which was won by Nietono with players such as Otori, Kakera, Brood, Shogun, Mikeneko, and El. There are other times that Olimar has been close, such as when Brood got 2nd at Apex 2010, or Nietono got 2nd at Apex 2012 and Sumabato X6. However, this tournament is the only time that an Olimar main has actually managed to finish in 1st.

Falco

Falco is a very proficient character in Brawl…except when he isn’t. The bird has two problem matchups, these being Ice Climbers and Pikachu. While these aren’t completely unwinnable, they make it very hard for Falco to win a major if you can’t avoid them (and in today’s day and age, you’re probably not avoiding Ice Climbers to win a major). However, Falco has won, once, Thanks to the one and only Does Everyone Hate Falco, also known as DEHF or Larry Lurr. Larry won Apex 2010, a huge tournament with players such as Brood, Mew2King, Ally, lain, and RAIN in attendance. Is it possible for Falco to win a major solo? Yes, and Larry proves it. However I feel that in modern majors it will be very hard due to the prevalence of Ice Climbers at the top level (assuming 686M and Hoenn return to the game), and not to mention Gunnermaniac’s Pikachu.

Zero Suit Samus

One of the most iconic moments in Brawl’s history was Salem’s run at Apex 2013. He was a wifi-warrior who emerged out of nowhere. He defeated Mr. R, Otori, Mikeneko, and Mew2King, using a character that not only had never won a major before, but was considered C tier at the time. However, this is the only time that ZSS has won a major solo. The next closest thing is Cody’s run at Return to Subspace 2, where he used ZSS in Winners Quarters and Winners Semis. However, he switched off ZSS for Winners Finals and Grand Finals, meaning he did not win with solo ZSS. V115 also got 2nd place at a long string of tournaments from 2016–2019, including Super Smash Con 2016 and CEO Dreamland 2017, but was unable to pull out a victory. However, with Salem’s run, ZSS has been proven as viable.

Edit: Choco also won KVO 2014, over Edge, 9B, and more. This tournament had over 100 entrants, and could arguably be considered a major as well. It was a single elimination bracket, not double elimination. If this is considered a major, then ZSS would have 2 majors wins, not just one. However being single elimination makes it harder to count as one.

Wario

Wario is the last character to have won a major solo. In 2010, Glutonny won Bushido Brawl Impact, the only European major so far, with players such as Ally, Mr. R, and Leon in attendance. Wario is on the low end of high tier, and can often struggle in certain matchups such as vs King Dedede, who can chaingrab Wario, and Marth and Meta Knight. However, Glutonny has proven that it is possible, but it may take a good bracket for a Wario to win again. Fiction also won Winter Game Fest IV, which was a very large tournament but does not have the top-level talent to be considered a major, which means Glutonny is left as the only Wario major winner.

The Weird Case: Marth

Marth is a top 6 character in Brawl. So why isn’t he on this list? Well, there are two events that are close, but in different ways, and both of them end up in a way that leaves Marth in a weird situation. At Return to Subspace 2, Cody defeated Pelca in Grand Finals with a 3–0 as Marth. He also used Marth against Mikeray4 in Winners Finals. However, during his run of the tournament, he also used Zero Suit Samus, and pulled out Meta Knight vs Mikeray4. This means we can’t really classify it as a solo major win for Marth. Mikeneko also won Piosuma, a 2012 Japanese tournament, with players like Otori, Kakera, Shu, Brood, Abadango, RAIN, and Nietono in attendance. However, the details about this tournament, including the entrant numbers and results beyond 13th, are not very well known. Based on calculations I did going off of VOD titles, there could have been 17–32 players present. However, if the round names in those titles did not include pools, things are a lot more complicated and the number of people that attended may be lost to time. The later tournaments in the series are considered regionals, however, so it could be fair to assume this one is as well.

However, despite all my blabbering, the real question here is “Can Marth win a major?”. And yes, I think he absolutely can. With Cody’s run at RTS 2, and Mikeneko at Piosuma, I think it has definitely been shown that it is possible for Marth to win a major solo. Marth is a hard character to pilot at the top level, with spacing being very important, but with the right player, Marth could certainly take a major without any help.

The Final Top 10 Character: Pikachu

No, Pikachu has never won a major, and depending on how you consider Marth might be the only one. ESAM has been close before, with 2nd place finishes at both SKTAR and Super Smash Con 2015, and a 3rd place at MLG Dallas 2010, Apex 2014, and SKTAR 3. He also won WHOBO 4, but this tournament was not stacked enough to be considered a major, and it had Meta Knight banned, although players like Ally and Gnes were in attendance. I think with results like this it is certainly possible for Pikachu to win a major, it just hasn’t been proven yet. Pikachu is one of, if not the most technical characters in Brawl, and very hard to play at the top level. However, I think with results like this it is definitely possible for Pikachu to win a major. It will take a very skilled player who can consistently utilize Pikachu’s advanced tech and movement, and may also necessitate avoiding Ice Climbers and Olimar, Pikachu’s two worst matchups. Pikachu clearly has the potential to win a major.

The Mid-Tiers

The B and B- tiers are in a similar boat. I think it is possible for the characters in these tiers to win. However, it would take a player who is far ahead of the rest of the field and maybe a good bracket path as well. Each of these characters have some troubling matchups, which are very hard to win especially at the top level. Notably, Pit’s matchup spread is not very bad, with his toughest matchup being Meta Knight. Earth, the best Pit main, beat Mew2King at Sumabato X15, showing that the matchup is winnable. Toon Link also struggles with Meta Knight, but notably has a good matchup vs Ice Climbers. At Apex 2022, Cody won the last game of Grand Finals with Toon Link against Hoenn’s Meta Knight. These two characters probably would have the best chance of actually winning a major, among the B and B- tier characters. Fox and Sheik both have terrible matchups vs Ice Climbers, and they along with Wolf struggle heavily against Pikachu as well. Wolf also struggles with Wario and King Dedede, and Fox also struggles against Sheik. Despite doing well against Ice Climbers, R.O.B., Peach, and (as mentioned) Toon Link have hard matchups vs Meta Knight. There are more matchups as well. These make it hard for characters from these tiers. However, if they could avoid their worst matchups, and outskill the other top players, it could be possible.

Finally, I think some of the characters in C tier are the last characters who reasonably have a greater than miniscule chance of winning a major. Sonic struggles vs Meta Knight, Lucario, Falco, and Olimar, but a very good Sonic player could feasibly win these matchups at the top level, as long as they are very optimized and utilize Sonic’s speed to play very defensively. Kirby also could have a chance. He has a strong punish game at low percents, but it would take out-skilling Meta Knight and out-maneuvering Ice Climbers, which is hard with Kirby’s low range and low speed. The only other character in this tier is Donkey Kong, and honestly, despite being the highest character in the tier, might have the hardest time winning a major. He has incredibly difficult matchups vs King Dedede and Olimar, and has a hard time vs Falco, Meta Knight, Ice Climbers, basically all of the top ten except Marth (and to a lesser extent Snake), and some mid tiers as well. I think it would be nigh impossible for DK to win a major at the current top level. He has so many matchups that are very hard to win, and so defeating players of these characters at the top level to place 1st at a major would be virtually impossible to do.

Overall, it seems like there are 10 characters who likely can or have won a major, these being the top 10 characters on the tier list. Beyond this, it becomes significantly harder. I think it is possible for 12 more characters to win a major, these being Lucario, King Dedede, Fox, Pit, Toon Link, Peach, R.O.B., Wolf, Mr. Game and Watch, Sheik, Kirby, and Sonic. I think for any character lower than Sonic, while it could happen, is extremely unlikely to win a major. This gives us 22 possibly viable characters, and 10 likely or proven viable characters, which seems to be a pretty fair number. Now is the best era for mid tiers in Brawl, with a solo R.O.B. in the top 10 and a Pit and King Dedede in the top 15, but only the top 2 players, 686M and Cody, have been able to win majors recently. It seems unlikely that a mid tier would win in the current meta unless piloted by one of these two players, but it’s definitely possible someone could rise up to that level with a mid tier. Will this happen? Only time will tell.

CONNOR: "Hero?"

MAMA: "Yes, the Hero. Every few centuries a human hero from another time and world gets transferred to our world to help save it from terrible fates. All of them so far have died during the process sadly but it's a noble cause and they are praised and respected even after their passing."

CONNOR: "Oh... That's... A hell of a way to go. Glad I'm not one of those. I'm just a kid with a whole life ahead've me."

' F U C K. '

PAPA: "Certainly is."

A brief silence follows. Though it's not really silent when Pumpkin is wolfing down xeir food and Connor is eating his at a much more casual pace as he tries to mentally process the information he just learnt.

He's part of a rare group of people who essentially get sent here to deal with problems that aren't theirs and end up dying... But the more he thinks about his life before... Is this really much better than what he was dealing with... After all it's better to die helping people than... Yeah he. He shouldn't think about that. Not right now. Instead just. Focus on the tasty meal in front of you dude.

Pumpkin finishes before he does and takes their plate to the sink before talking again.

PUMPKIN: "Oh! Connor do you want to have a shower?"

CONNOR: "Oh. Yeah in a bit if that's okay with you?"

PUMPKIN: "I'll go have one first while you finish!"

CONNOR: "Aight. Have a good one dude."

PUMPKIN: "I will!"

As the Shinx leaves their mother begins to speak with Connor again.

MAMA: "You mentioned having most likely fallen off a cliff earlier. Are you sure you're okay? Did you go get medical attention by any chance?"

CONNOR: "Oh... Uh... No I. Didn't actually do that. I kinda. Got distracted by the fact that. I didn't know where I was and that I had most of my stuff missing."

MAMA: "Oh sweetie you really need to see the nurse or something to see that you're okay. Hey. How about we take you and Pumpkin to the guild tomorrow to get looked over by the medical team. I know pumpkin gets a lot of injuries from adventuring on their own and never tells us and probably needs it as well. Is that okay?"

CONNOR: "That's... Really kind you don't have to do that-"

PAPA: "Of course we do kid. We're adults, we're meant ta' look after kids like you."

CONNOR: "Oh... Uh... Thank you that. That would be good."

MAMA: "Good. How about you finish your dinner and have a nice shower and rest then tomorrow we'll take you there after the sun's come up for a while we'll take you there okay sweetie?"

CONNOR: "Okay. Thank you."

He continues to eat his food as the two adults speak to each other. Not really paying attention to what they're saying as they're talking about stuff that he doesn't really understand the context of and eavesdropping on that kind of stuff is weird. So he just. Doesn't focus as he eats the rest of his meal.
