@AXE 09 Great guide, man. Out of curiosity, where do you think Pikachu's other match up ratios stand?

Amazing work. Quick question though: how should Doc position himself after Dthrow? He has pretty average speed and poor grab range compared to Sheik, Falcon, etc. so I'm wondering if there is a trick to give him extra leniency to react to different techs

Hey PP, this is somewhat off topic, but what are your thoughts on Scar/Toph saying that Armada does not enjoy playing against you (beginning of your top 8 set vs. Armada at Genesis)? It seemed surprising since Armada has alluded otherwise when you were unable to compete in tournaments like TBH5...

I checked team oxy's youtube but it doesn't seem to be uploaded.... You are probably gonna have to check the SSS vods on twitch.

@Dr Peepee did you catch SFAT vs. Pewpewu grand finals at the most recent SSS? What are your thoughts on the FD match? It seems like Marths tend to really struggle on that stage. Any ideas as to where the Marth-FD meta needs to go in order to take advantage of the stage's potential?

Looking towards authority and results, I believe what you are saying about Falco to be pretty unfounded. PPMD has stated he believes Falco beats Peach and Puff. Mango has stated the same, and moreover, picked up Falco way back in the day because of his hatred towards the Falco/Puff match up. I...

Plenty of the submissions in the original thread included tier divisions The issue is that the only information collected were the raw rankings. The divisions are basically fabricated from those arbitrary differences in averaging that you speak of. A tier list is wholly intended to imply...

Can someone explain to me how differences in average placement provide insight into viability? Very few submitters actually put Fox in his own tier yet this tier list assumes they have. What info is this tier list trying to get across?

Curious that Fox is in his own tier. I am looking forward to seeing the submissions and learning if the divisions are based off numerical averaging or the perceived viability given by the submitters.

None of them are worth discussing at length because you have to delve into too much theory.

This was intentional since I was only really interested in performances that were close to winning tournaments. Getting top 8 doesn't guarantee you had to play a god, and by extension, doesn't guarantee you were actually participating in top level; especially with the finicky nature of brackets...

Super Bare-Bones Results Focused Tier List: I will probably make a thread about this later that encompasses results up to top 32, more in depth explanations, and a deeper look at match counts. Method and criteria Considering this game is played by humans, winning tournaments really comes down...

You want the short version or the long version?

Pretty sure the main reason plup went Samus at Evo was because he spilled beer on his controller the night before. He would absolutely go Sheik vs Leffen in bracket these days; especially given he already does so vs. Mango.

People misinterpreting Fox/Samus as even feels like it'd stem from Leffen being very weak at MU, tbh. Obviously he isn't the only Fox to have lost to Samus and Samus's spacie match ups are pretty decent, but I think people are too quick to disregard other evidence. Samus isn't a new threat to...
