Smash Bracket rules in a nutshell.

Not a diss against them. I have even defended it on a few times.

Little Mac is the strongest Smash Bros character, because he's the only one who has a feat against a real-life person.

Everyone else has feats either against fully fictional places, or fictional representations of real-life places (like it being set on an "Earth" identical to ours). As such, there's no way to prove those feats are actually impressive. Kirby seems strong, but you've heard the argument of "oh he's actually just 8 inches tall" right? What if every single other character is in the same boat?

Little Mac, meanwhile, canonically defeated Mike Tyson. Not a fictional representation of him either, they had to get the legal license to put him in the game (and replaced him with "Mr. Dream" in rereleases when it expired), so it's fully endorsed by Mike Tyson. Point me to another Smash Bros character who has feats against real people.
