I've never played a Marth as Game & Watch. I have played a Game & Watch as Marth, though. It was ridiculously easy.

I will say that Olimar and Marth cover the whole cast.

Then again, so does Meta Knight.

I use ROB and Oli and I wouldn't recommend it if you're looking for a winning roster. ROB doesn't cover too many of Oli's weak spots. X.x

It works out for me though because Oli covers some of the more prominent weak spots for ROB. XP

Just MK, Falco, and Peach. ROB can handle GnW once you learn the match-up. Some Kirbys are hard to fight, but it's never been an issue.

Ah, well I'm second in my province, next to a Falco. Our matches are usually close, so I have a lot of experience against him. Falco is also my second, so I know how to handle the featherbag.

Ah, I'm also second in my state but the #1 is a Lucario (Lee Martin) and there's no Falcos anywhere in our top 10, so yeah. I played Sethlon from Texas once but aside from that, I've never played a good Falco. : (

Meh, it's fine. I think our #5 or #7 was picking up Falco? Idc..lol. I beat Sethlon's the time I played it, but it was obvious he wasn't really trying since it was friendlies and he seemed to want out the rotation, but either way, it's just a really annoying fight.

Sudai, you should get a ride with Lee to the Game Galaxy tournament in Tennessee on the 28th.

Lee and a few from Louisiana are going to HOBO14 in Texas on the 28th, while me and a few others from Louisiana are going to a tournament in Pensacola on the same day. : (

Give me more notice and I'll try to make it next time? : )

I guess so... I'm itching to find some good ROB players. I fear that I have trouble with the matchup because no-one in my area uses him.

I KNEW ROB was a hard matchup for Olimar, though Fino disagrees. He out ranges us, can stay alive longer, and has better range.

Someone isnt an Oli main....Who ever could it be? :laugh: Coming from a competetive stand point, GnW and MK have you covered. If you want a FUN secondary, use someone like Kirby, or Ganon. If you dont care either way, just whip out random. NOTHING beats random because your opponent wont know who you get. Its the ultimate Mindgame. ;)

You said range twice. Anyway, R.O.B. is one of the more even match-ups if you ask me. It's all about patience, timing whistles (not ****ing spamming it like some people), and keeping him over you. A good thing to be with R.O.B. is agressive. I usually try to outcamp them so they get agressive and come in. Usually, I can enter R.O.B.'s second stock still on my first so that I have some advantage that way. On ROB's 2nd or 3rd stock I get agressive using Purples and DThrow -> USmash -> UAir combos and whatever. That's just me though.

Thats because his range is annoying! :laugh: Now THIS is good advice. Thank you. Now I'll be able to overcome my only weakness as an Oli main. :)

I find a good rob harder to beat then a good metekinght or a good game and watch
I usually get hit by a fully charged spinner at high damage . That thing just kills >.>
When we play I'll use ROB and we'll see what you need to improve on. :)
