I'm actually not an MK main, but Crouch Cancelling gives MK a rough time. Combine that with a large weight and a character that is still fairly quick, and I think that'll also hard counter MK besides just plain outspeeding MK (like Falco does). It seems that characters like Mewtwo, Snake, and Falcon would give MK problems.hats up guys im a marth main that struggles with the mk match up and was wondering what his worst matchups are. I heard falco but are there any other match ups he struggles with? Thanks in advance !
You'd probably have to play DEHF or Mango to lose to Falco. Teh gimps tho! Punish Falco hard and make sure not to make mistakes or get too aggressive. Samus probably does a lot better than Toon Link cuz floaty + projectiles + crazy recovery + great CC is a little too much. Not saying its the worst but probably up there with Mewtwo, Pit, and Mario as the MUs to look out for. Toon Link isn't that bad. Yeah he has projectiles but they aren't as good as Link or Falco. You can gimp and punish him fairly easy but I'm calling even or slight disadvantage for MK because Lunchables usually beats Infinity. I think R.O.B. might be hard because his crazy momentum shifts, good CC, great projectiles, great grabs, and surprising power. One big tip for MK is never go all out aggressive like Wolf or Lucas.Mewtwo is kind of tough, Snake... well you shouldn't get grabbed, otherwise its great, but Falcon isn't really that problematic. Mario and Pit can give MK some sort of problems, Falco can too but you have to play so precise so I wouldn't advice it as not-main. Same goes for Fox. Of course Diddy and Lucas don't do too bad but they don't really win the MU either. Link is doing great against mid-level MKs but starts falling behind then... There are also some underrated characters being able to annoy MK, for example Toon Link, Samus, but you are mainly building on lacking MU knowledge there.
In the end, probably Mario is the best choice because MK can't clank his fireballs, MK has the right fallspeed for Mario's combos, any grab will mean big percents and caping recoveries is a thing.
The matchup is by no means free or something, but Mario probably has a slight edge
It's hard to get in because of Link's range and projectiles, but once you do, you can combo him to death. It is hard, especially with a good Link, but I just wanted to say that because #saltycombo cuz dat's what's gonna go down! I dunno much about Deepy Kong but I can see why it's hard. The fact that you know so much about Diddy makes it more believable. So Link, Samus, Mario, Mewtwo, and Pit are the MUs most likely to make you switch. That means Toon Link and Mario would be great secondaries. Link too but less good.Link and Diddy would be the most difficult matchups for me as MK by far. Heavy projectile characters so troublesome to deal with.
Dood Roy shoood not be scarfed at all it's one of the universe's rulesGotta go off stage vs Roy, one tap and he is a goner.
I think the mk could play around that move, they just have to be aware of it at all times. A tomahawk and good dash dance would go far against a Roy that wants to dtilt. I think properly excuted cross up areals would also help, since Roy's grab game is nothing to scarf at ether.
One Roy gets a hit tho, he can just uair the **** out of you, mercilessly, so I would recommend places like BF. If he is uair Channing you, SDi and them doing to many, is your only hope. When he finishes uair'ing, he can nair, bair, nB, fsmash and one er two other kill options to finish you off.
Roy is also combo food for everyone, mk included, and down B rekts people like Roy.
Teh gimps tho! DK can probably zero to death MK if you let him get in so just punish and gimp. DK also can't do babies when MK is recovering too and MK can combo him with total ease and probably harder than DK. Slight Advantage for MK I would think.What about Donkey Kong? I've heard he was a bad matchup for mk but can't really remember specifics.
Captain Falcon is pretty hard for me, personally. Ledge guarding is usually the only way I can defeat him, which in itself rarely ever happens because Falcon's meteor... Any tips?
I would say the matchup is slightly in favor of MK. I main MK and Roy, and while Roy can combo mk well and compete in the neutral, mk has more options in general and obviously can gimp Roy easily. 45-55 mk imoIve see sethlon beat many MK's with his roy, so maybe roy. Though sethlon is pretty much godlike. I have heard some MK's talk about the significance of roy's Dtilt to Uair combo being about to rack up to around 90% fairly easily, but again I'm not sure if it's just sethlon being really good.
You didn't see that me and EZ already went over Roy?Ok that's fair. I dont know MK that well in PM so I'll take your word on it.
Matchup advice plzIvy has been easy for me so far and up b shows her no mercy
