I'll try a little with the Shulk matchup now. To me it seems even, or with Pit having a +1. My main experience in this matchup has been from YouTube (shoutouts to a match that featured CHOMPY that was helpful), so its not first-hand, but I think I got the general idea. In neutral, I think Pit...

You know, after playing the DK matchup, I see it now as a even matchup (tbh, I could even see Pit winning). But we've said enough about that, so I'm not gonna waste you time with that. I have some experience in the Samus matchup though, so I'll share it with you all. Pit(s) definitely win...

Just labbed the DK mu a little and found something out: a way to edgeguard DK is with side-b (electroshock is preferable, obviously). It beats out DK's up-b when spaced correctly, and is easier to use than fair imo.

In many cases, yes, arrows aren't great to force approaches, but DK doesn't have a projectile, so it is much more effective in this mu. By the way, I agree with Sensane saying DK wins, but I was kinda saying that as advice to people who didn't know how to deal with DK I should have made that...

Keep in mind that though DK has these advantages, arrows can force the ape to approach (and his approach is ok, but not great), and that once we get in (preferably with a grab to d-throw), we can juggle DK for days.

Personally, I agree with these matchup ratios. While I don't have much trouble against Ryu, -1 is still a pretty even mu, and Ryu does have the advantage in kill power by far. Megaman would be the only one I'd object to, because I have always had trouble against good megaman players, but it...

Not yet and why not. More inputs means more discussion, which hopefully brings us more accurate final decisions.

Something I've noticed on the :4myfriends: matchup: Ike has to approach because of arrows, and his approach options are beatable, so Pit should theoretically never have to approach and therefore should win the matchup. Basically just play defensively against Ike and you should be fine, imo

Gotcha guys, thanks for the tips

A note on the :4ryu: matchup: many Ryus will use Hadouken to zone you out or approach with. Orbitars are great for reflecting this. Often times the Ryu will shield the reflected Hadouken, and nothing will come out of it for Pit or Ryu, but it limits one of Ryu's approach options.

Well, it looks like rip this discussion, but maybe we'll ressurect it. Anyways, I played a Bayonetta recently and had no issues at all. Since there are no real 0-death combos, we can just abuse the fact that her neutral is underwhelming and not care if we accidentally get hit. Of course...

The nerf definitely helps with the Bayonetta matchup, because now we don't have to be really scared of her combos. Still about even, but not a matchup you should worry about overly, in my opinion.

So here's a few tips I've learned about the :4kirby:matchup that you should keep in mind. When Kirby gets in on you, you should expect to take a good amount of damage. Uptilt chains, fthrow combos, dtilt and dair lead into grab, the puffball's got a lot of tools to rack up damage. As for...

Nooo! Why! JK man, if Sonic suits you better then go for it. You've just added quite a bit to this forum, so it'd be a shame to see you leave it

I'll be talking about the :4wario: matchup in this post. Pit and Wario have similar frame data, so neither character gets an advantage there. Pit does out range Wario, which does greatly help Pit. One thing to note though, is that Wario is pretty heavy, and with his good recovery, he can...
