One thing I've felt I should do for a very long time, but since only about 2 people agreed with me on this, I've decided to take the initiative and do this myself. This thread is to discuss Match Ups that are lesser known to us all, I.E. Bowser, Ness, things such as that. There's no point in constantly polishing up Match Ups like Wario, and Snake if we lose to someone like Shaky in bracket(not an insult, just using Shaky as an example, as I don't know the Ness Match Up very well.
I talked to Cura yesterday, and I told him about my not understanding some Match Ups, or completely not knowing some of them at all. I am from Upstate New York, and we have a very diverse region, with characters that vary from Ness, to Sonic, to ZSS, Yoshi and San- errhmmhmhmm Ike. Cura said to me, despite match ups, it is MK, and it will come down to you being better than then. But quite frankly, I don't want to barely get by on it just being MK on someone decent, when I can lose to someone well verse in the MK Match Up(and if you aren't, you should be, MK is the most known Match Up, there's no excuse not to know it, none at all).
Frankly, in a way, you could say that "I wish" everyone used characters like Snake, or Wario, so you can have an easy time in bracket, but there are, and will always be Yoshi mains, Ness mains, ect. We all should know the higher tier Match Ups, but yet, we're constantly polishing them, and neglecting other characters we know nothing about. Knowing how to play against a character, how to approach a character, how to kill a character is what my aim is, I do not like going in blind against a character whom I may have never played. Quite frankly, it's frustrating to lose to them.
An example:
Say and MK glides while fighting an Olimar, the MK might not know that's bad, and will likely get punished for it a number of times, as opposed to just standing outside of the grab range and baiting the Olimar or something.
Should this thread stay, I'd like to offer my hand to help any MK main that may have a question, or something to offer to the thread. This is a learning process for all of us, I'd like to ask right now that nobody say anything mean about a question, or theory that someone may have to add. None of us know everything, and we're all just trying to get better at the game. So please, be respectful, and try to build each other up.
I'd like to start with an estimation of Match Up ratios, if someone has fought a character that is lesser used, and has note of what that character has done/tried to do to shut down MK's approach, please state it, and anything you tried that may have worked to get around their approach.
I'd like to please ask that the moderators of the Meta Knight boards not lock this thread, if it is active, I think it can be very beneficial to us all in the long run.
