For a group of players supposedly excited about the prospect of advancing Diddy's meta-game, the last slew of posts have been incredibly vain, presumptuous, baseless, and generally not very helpful at all. Every single character analysis so far has had its share of smug Diddy mains slagging off one another, because apparently match-ups with every single character we've looked at ought to be a cakewalk. To automatically assume that the other person is an incompetent player because they express difficulties in a particular match-up reeks of nothing more than conceited douche-baggery.
At the end of the day, it doesn't matter how favorable the (usually arbitrary) match-up odds offered by every ****-waving know-it-all on these forums are - because simply put, there is never 100% certainty that you will walk away with a victory under your belt. Even if 80:20 odds in Diddy's favor against Captain Falcon seems like a fairly reliable number, there technically still exists a 1/5 chance that your opponent can pull out an upset. Weird, nonsensical **** happens in this game all the time, and you'll have no one else to blame except for yourself if you're not at least prepped for the probability of defeat from even the most unlikely of opponents.
Let's knock off the senseless drivel and get on with things, okay kids?
And Vyse - can we go ahead and move onto whatever this week's character match-up discussion is supposed to be on? People seemed considerably less engaged with the G&W overview (their loss), and Olimar and Wolf seem like popular conversation fodder, although I prefer to dissect Wolf myself.
