Guiding Bow is actually a very solid custom move when one considers all the extra utility it brings to Pit's game. For example the loops Guiding Bow's uncharged/slightly charged arrows can make give Pit an easier time landing, as the diameter and duration of their circles are wide enough to...

:4pit:/:4darkpit:? Well their meta isn't advancing much, but it never really has. They aren't very popular characters while our only top player representation is Nairo here in the states and Earth over in Japan. Besides them only @CHOMPY and a guy called Requiem we have in our local scene come...

Not to discredit any Ganondorf mains, but this general attitude with Ganon and him "going even" or having little troubles with so many members of the cast solely on the volatility of his toolkit seems like a large overestimation of the character's capabilities. Yes, Ganon will destroy you given...

From a purely objective standpoint, Pit most likely goes 40:60 at worst vs Diddy. I've written up on the matchup already but some of the main things of note that allow Pit to stand up against Diddy Kong is his great range, fantastic edge-guarding and respectable grab. Diddy has a harder time...

I've tried to recreate this against Megaman and other characters as well, but nothing so far. Could this be affected in any way by rage %s? Stage specific maybe? Has anyone else been able to get the spike effect?

Pit is a character that lives on virtue of his balanced matchups. As you said, he is a very well rounded character with the tools to excel against even the strongest characters in Smash 4. Because of this Pit does a great job as a secondary for various other characters since he patches up...

I was there to see that DDD play and although I'll vouch for his skill, the player he was up against was making some questionable choices. Most likely it was a combination of him simply not knowing the matchup and using Fox, which was not his main. Mad props were given to the DeDeDe player for...

One of Diddy's biggest assets is how stretchy his limbs are. This of course makes contesting moves like his Fair a hassle for some, and an impossibility for others. Our own Fair has just enough range for doing just that however. Our disjoints are a massive help throughout this whole matchup...

I'm just going to throw out that we have some legitimately good players over here in Puerto Rico (shameless advertising of course), but unfortunately Team Ragnarok is our only reliable stream that I know of; some weekly attendees don't get their spot to shine. Also Excel Zero used Shiek the...

Imo he has harder matchups against the other top characters. Diddy is Diddy, so we all know how hard he hits and how fast he is. Marth himself struggles in the matchup but not to a point where it is unwinnable. Having the Falchion is a huge, huge help when for example, one is getting rid of...

@Ffamran Dance Trots & Perfect Pivots, particularily out of the trots, are essential to high level Marcina play. They depend on mastering movement options to avoid commiting and then being punished for their oh-so terrible frame data. That goes for regular pivots, empty hops, and stutter step...

Experienced players know Marths will be looking for a shieldbreak if they see irresponsible shielding; they won't fall for such a telegraphed move. That's part of the reason why Dashing Assault is so good for him, in addition to the trap situations it lends to. Shieldbreaker's only real...

Going to chime in with Battlefield as well. Battlefield has consistently remained a great stage for swordsmen because of all the platform shenanigans we can perform. The height of it's highest platform also lets us land in relative safety after being juggled. Final Destination/some Omegas have...
