Guys, we lose the Bowser matchup.
Also, fighting a good Ike is the dumbest thing in the world. I couldn't do anything. Needless to say, I got *****.
My pool was:
2nd seed Nicole (Peach - L 0-2) Got dominated, 'nuff said.
Lou (Mr. Game and Watch - L 0-2) Blew two late leads after controlling the match throughout. Matchup wasn't that bad.
1st seed Blue Rouge (Wario - L 0-2) Forfieted. Last match of pools, it was late so I got my cuisine on.
3rd seed Mene (Ike - L 0-2) An underrated as hell female smasher, gave everyone trouble. Two stocked my Mario and was my most frustrating match of the tournament. Lost a one-stock game two with Sheik. Only time I played Sheik this tournament.
Joshkip (Sonic - W 2-0) He forfeited. Things came up and we couldn't play. I went to get food right after.
Fzk (Diddy - L 0-2) Last match I actually played. Played like crap and was in a rush to go eat. He was good though. Match started at like 7:30 pm. I'll just call johns on this one.
Fun tournament, ran too long. I'm still balls.

Ugh, yeah, pools ran hella late. They started at like 5:30 though, so to be expected. At 3 AM they were still in losers semi...

I didn't know about the yellow pikmin thing, but everything else sounds right. damage will rack up over time with the throw though. And if he lands grabs it's so damaging and aggravating. My bro mains olimar so i have some experience. i hate the MU though. Who wins is really dependent on how efficient he lands grabs and his pivot grab is so gay.

The no hitstun yellow pikmin is only for throws. So if he d-throws you with a yellow pikmin, that means you can up-b him back.
I also think Bowser beats Mario.
If Marth beats you only because he can attack through our fireballs you're doing it wrong. Against characters who need spaced aerials to remain safe you have to WALK a lot - back and forth - to get a better chance for a powershield or to screw up his spacing. Marth has no safe move up close ... so be smart and patient when you get there - don't use fireballs if you see they don't help you.

I've never played a serious Bowser main, but idk, the Bowsers I've played haven't been much trouble.
Marth doesn't beat Mario because he can neutralize fireballs, he beats Mario because he destroys us on the ground and in the air. He has superior range, superior priority, superior ledge-traps, superior grab game. Marth is actually a lot like Mario (minus a projectile), except he's viable.

"Priority" is a cliché 
Yeah, Marth beats Mario but he doesn't **** him. It's not as simple as you make it seem though ... Marth is powerful in the air. When he is on the offense - if you get him in the air in a defensive reaction he's in a lot of trouble. The problem is that Marth has better tools to put us in a bad spot to begin with but he's weak if he's above you in the air ... and if he's close to the ledge ... and if he hangs on the ledge ... there a plenty of times where you can abuse Marth's inherent flaws. It's just that it's easier for him to keep you in the bad position once he gets you there.

Bowser has pretty good match-ups
Aerial Marth players are the ones that I perform well against.I also think Bowser beats Mario.

It's the ones that know how to properly use his ground-game that cause me problems. DB, Dtilt, pivot grabs...all relatively difficult to deal with for me. Fair too, but that's easier to bait and punish IMO.
His recovery's an enigma to me too...I feel like I should be able to gimp him EVERY time, but I can't.
I've never played a really good Bowser, so I'm unsure of how I'd do. However, I also don't know the matchup.

I just want to say, I laughed really hard at just about all of you eating money on the OP.
I need to eat some Monopoly money and make a profile. I'm doing it right, yeah?

Ahhahahaha...haha..ha. Yeah, about that. I love Mario, but Ness will always be that icon down there.
Don't worry though, Caleb knows how big a Mario fan I am.

You do realize that all the black dudes eating money aren't actually them lol. Those are replacing picture-less people. Though I probably could get a pic of me eating money lol.

I also enjoy long walks on the beach and candle lit dinners.

Also the fact that they're both worthless.
Actually, I value Monopoly money more.. Canadian money has kids playing hockey in the background.. it's like they want us to make fun of them.

Less than that, its about even actually. USD use to be much higher.

If you want to get technical, a while back American dollar used to be 2:1 ratio compared to Canadian dollar.. but American value has depreciated since then, up to the point where not too long ago it was actually 1:1.
