Edgeguards. Marth's neutral is one of the best in the game, and Mewtwo's is rather shoddy in comparison. If you get a Marth offstage, though, his stock is as good as gone. It really is frustrating to deal with that sword, since it basically renders your own disjoint useless in many cases and...

Falco can annoy the everliving hell out of -well, everyone- Mewtwo, but one thing is to try and stay away from very flat stages like PS2 or FD. Not only can Falco spam away (and spacies are known for being good on that kind of stage) Mewtwo loses a lot of his mobility and unpredictability...

Actually, I think your match is an example of skill gap as well as the matchup. Prem is nowhere near the level of a Falco like Westballz, while Thunderz is actually far and away the best DK in PM. Now, it's true that platforms can help combat up throw chains, but then they allow for easy tech...

Well, actually...

I know you asked for PM players, but hey, there's always the King. M2K is still by far one of the best Marths (PPMD is comparable) and there are a handful of sets where he picks Marth in PM. Learn from the best.

Bumi's right; now that one of Jigg's most important kill options (edge guards) are rendered practically useless by any non-Melee characters, she's not nearly as good as she was in comparison to the Melee cast. Also, Mewtwo. Mewtwo decimates Puff.

IMO Fox and Falco cover M2's bad match ups quite well. Mewtwo's best punishes are on fast fallers, so I sometimes switch to a sub for floatie match ups. I haven't had much experience against other players, but one of the best people in my area mains Zelda. While the matchup is technically in...

Ivysaur's not that hard to take care of, if you play smart. Try to make her side b whiff, because it can keep you in shieldstun and open you up for a punish. You have more range than almost all of her attacks, so use it. Space, zone her out, the usual. If you're in the air and it looks like...

Aside from the very general concepts of zoning and spacing, I have pretty much no idea how to handle the lucario matchup. Supposedly, it's not as hard of a matchup as others, but I have a lot of difficulties dealing with his pressure and combo game. Advice?

Well, Hover canceled tail attacks have much more range, and range/disjoint is a huge advantage you have over Kirby. HC u-air can't be dodged by crouching, is relatively fast, and has a good hitbox, so that's a decent move for the Kirby MU. Also, since Kirby is super floaty, IF you manage to land...

Secondaries are almost always worthwhile, because it's rare for you to be able to take on any given player in any given matchup. For example, Mango, PPMD, and M2K are among the best Melee players, but they don't solely rely on their skill with one character. In regards to your second question...
