I've always hated that about the Tink MU discussions.

Some good player comes along, states his obviously wrong opinion, and people just follow it because the speaker is "good".

Read the whole discussion. It isn't in Tink's favor. You might be able to make the argument for 50-50, but across the board 55-45, maybe 60-40 Wario is the consensus.

What do you know dtl? Which top wario's have you played and beaten? Im not trying to make you change your opinion, thats all this thread is. Opinions. In the end, your TL will still be the same and mine will too.

The ratios don't mean anything.

You're supposed to talk about the match up and how to win it.
You come up with a ratio at the end.

I still haven't made it OoS due to the No Koast fail :(

But I play Timotee. Play him yourself and then tell me if I don't play good Warios or not, but I can guarantee he's up there.

Unlike you, I won't respond by getting mad, but I will tell ask you not to judge other scenes you've never experienced.


And yes, Sasuke, this shouldn't matter. I just took offense to a ratio posted that showed no regard of any evidence discussed. Sorry.

If you aren't down by a stock, there's plenty of time on the clock, and they aren't approaching much, spam their ***. Once they're in, retreating back air and Nair OoS.

Killing is near impossible if they're doing it right...Some moves that occasionaly work are Utilt, Usmash (kinda), and Fair. Just play campy and wait until you see the opening. Toon Link has no such thing as a safe kill move on Wario, but fair is close.

Malcolm timed me out and we were on the same stock

That's why I said if there is plenty of time on the clock.

It makes the matchup MUCH harder when you're forced to approach, but that's just what the Wario MU is. Either you're ahead and are playing keep away with projectiles and bair, or you have to approach (usually Zair, Bair, Nair). The second is insanely hard...but that's why you don't let them get the lead. And no, it isn't just that easy lol.

My best advice is don't let them get the lead lol. Tim time's me out as well...

Once wario gets close to you, he's going to stay just outside of zair range almost the entire stock. Arrows at this point become pretty useless, and you won't have much time to pull out a bomb. Your best moves are gonna be nair and bair, and every time you get him away toss a 'rang and use that to buy time for bombs and arrows.

If he's below you, don't airdodge unless you have to. More times than not he's just baiting the AD so he can give you the clap.

Two main times we'll be eating a waft: offstage weak fair->waft (very hard to avoid if done right), and when we're on the ledge, drop down offstage+waft.

@DTL :With your abundance of amazing offline experience and consistent high tourney placings and practice vs top level Warios, I will listen to you and agree that the wario MU IS 60:40

I only play offline >__>. I do place top 3 at every local...but that's CO, so yeah.

At least I play less ****ty Falcos with my less ****ty Toon Link.

Went there as a joke, hoping it gets responded to angrily.


edit: I think the MU is 55-45. Just saying. Possibly closer to even, just no way it's our advantage.

You should edit out that last part...I got trouble last time I posted that...

I knew that didn't sound like you...No idea why I take so much offense to that kind of thing...I don't mind being called trash, but I can't take my scene being called trash. Probably means it is.

kk <3 bye.

Why are you guys arguing over a match up ratio. Just list the pros and cons and what to do

I was at No Koast and I am going to have to agree with Jerm, as far as strategy is concerned. Played Bassem in pools, definitely said they way to beat wario is to zone like no other. Spamming projectiles isnt going to be as effective, simply because Wario has the aerial mobility to stop it. B-air, n-air, tilts, and good spacing ftw

Yeah, I only get 25th out of 49...very bleh

It was a weird tournament in general. Hylian also got 25th, as did Zeton. Dojo getting three stocked by Ally in the last game of Grand Finals, Bassem getting 2 stocked by Ally's Captain Falcon in Winners Finals

Anyway, one more thing I will add to the discussion has to do with the waft. One thing I noticed bassem do, specifically against Dojo (Bassem ended up winning the set) was he would go off stage and try and rack damage with u-air. When Dojo got to a killing percentage he would bait the airdodge, fall and then waft upwards and collide with dojo for the kill. Something to keep in mind. I would say the only time you should be airdodging would be to invinci-bomb
