Alright guys, for those of you who have been keeping up the MU discussion, you know that we have been on the topic of pit and the differance between us, koolaid, and japan's pits. And for that reason, i have decided that it's time we stopped messing around as pit mains and took this detriment seriously.
Via debate with what seems like the rest of the smash community, i've come to realize just how much as pit mains are looked down upon by almost all of the smash community. They say we over-rate our character as pit mains, say our opinions are trash and full of "pit main bias," that OUR results PROVE that pit is not a good character, and that our very MUs should nearly ALL be worse than we say they are due to our bias and lack of results.
They say pit is D-tier based on results in tourney. And when Koolaid, Esca, and Kiraflax are mentioned, they say "a few good players do not make the character good, no matter who they've beaten." And when Earth and Masashi are mentioned, they claim, "they are the japanese, they do not count towards Pit's viability in any way. They're unreachable and thus should not and do not count as part of the current metagame."
EDIT:
we are actually going to make this a thread to analyze all of us pit's but one at a time. props to kuro for the idea. and since all of the vids that were here are in kuro's thread, i will just make a collapse box for who we all decide to in depth analyze for however long decide too. we will do the videos in this format:
1. what do notice works for him?
2. what does not work for him?
3. why does he do "this" in response to *insert what you think is relevant here*?
4. what else do you think is worth mentioning on this match?
for each category you can go into as much detail with as many comparisons as you feel are necessary to use. this will help all of us grow as pit players because we as a board will put our entire focus on just one pit main at a time. and that pit main will be decided by vote i would guess. however due to the nature of putting it to vote, you cannot vote for yourself, although you can make a request to be the next pit and hope people will vote for you. also, we will go through everyone once before we pick the same person unless for some reason it is unavoidable/necessary to skip someone (like if they are gone from the board for hella days or something).
Pit main being discussed for now and all of his recent uploaded videos:
Let's do this guys, lets keep this active, and prove the to the entire smash community just how wrong they are about us as players, and about pit as a character! lets get better
