People are giving ZeRo some hate, which I don't understand why. I wonder what the outcome would have been, had ZeRo used Sheik. I also wouldn't take this one thing from pools as a definitive response to those who think Palutena is a good character. How often does Prince Ramen fight Diddy Kong players? How often does ZeRo fight Palutena players? It's easy to be surprised when an underrated character succeeds. I think it just has to do with what Sky (former Peach main in Brawl) said about shock. If Prince Ramen and others can keep this up, then maybe Palutena will move up on the tier list. It still won't change Palutena's frame data.
I don't think it's appropriate for people to hate ZeRo or to wish to see him fail as I've seen in the comments on YouTube. That's not good for this community. We should all be respectful and wish for others to succeed. This isn't because I like ZeRo, either. I prefer Nairo, ESAM, FOW, Depth, and Ryo. So let's be hopeful that those who lost can succeed in the future. Prince Ramen did well because he read Diddy Kong's recovery. That is pretty essential to winning.
