I've played ADHD's Peach in a friendly set offline and on wifi. Wifi (quite some time ago) he beat me 2-0. Offline about 2 weeks ago, I won 2-1 (he used his crappy Jiggz game 3 and got 2 stocked). I play pretty aggressively against Peach and I try to stay either above her or around the same height. I tried being below and I got hit bya bunch of dairs.

I've been considering picking up a better secondary myself, but I'll never go Metaknight. Not because he's the best character, but because he just doesn't fit my preference. Same reason why I don't use Marth.

Right now my secondaries are Ike and Link. They work (I'm able to beat G&W's with Ike, and Link is my wildcard), but obviously they aren't the best.

I've been considering Fox, just to CP D3. Or I could take it a step further and use Falco. It's rough to pick up them as secondaries though, because a lot of my morality is placed on Mario/Ike/Link. Should I just tell myself to STFU and pick up Fox/Falco anyway?
Following up with this and throwing a curveball saying I'm picking up Sonic as a secondary.

Are you just going to use Sonic for one match-up? And that'd be for Dedede, correct? I say just pick up Olimar if you're going to pick up a character for just Dedede.

But if you're going to use him more then just one match-up, then yea pick Sonic :p.

I'm a glutton for punishment. Sonic's a fun character to me, just requires a great amount of practice and skill to get good with. I needed a reason to pick him up when I already have two secondaries, so DDD is just the prime reason, I got others.

I hardly ever pick up characters based on match-ups, if at all. I just work with what I got. Sonic gives me a speed character under my belt though, which is also a plus.

Also found out the fact that Sonic covers some of Mario's bad match-ups and Mario covers some of Sonic's bad match-ups.

They both do bad against Metaknight though.

Edit: Does anyone mind if I revive my Match-Up Index thread?

Hey Kirin, any chance I could get some friendlies with you at P4? Same with you Boss? I'm not a great player, so I might not be worth your time, but I'd be extremely grateful if you would play me and help me improve.

You guys should try and do some character vs character crew match. Like the Peach and ROB boards have a 8v8 crew match.

Be kinda cool to have with our character.

Meh... It could have been worse, CP wise. I'm pleasantly surprised that Japes is not legal.

Heh, I would have loved some MKs in my pool. That's a MU I know... TLs on the other hand...

I heard Boss isn't good at Mario dittos. Pierce beat him in a ditto. Boss is a kick *** Mario overall though. Reps us the best. Mario's should go for the gold. Mario's #1!

EDIT: Knock some MKs and Snakes out of the tourney Famous.

Hippie, waaaaaaaaaaaay more, up B, and FLUDD her d-air. Camp more! I think you were a little too aggresive in this match-up. Also, when you get a grab on Peach, always use b-throw, more damage=better, you can rarely follow up on a d-throw vs Peach.

Keep your up smash fresh, that is your main killing move vs her, f-smash will rarely land in this match-up.

Bleh, if only I could give amazing criticism. Some general things however. You camped wrong, and got punished for it. You approached with fireballs poorly, SHing them a lot, when fullhopping them would have probably worked better.

There's also a number of places where I would have thrown out F-smash when I saw her approaching, and that moment when you got into Jab wars, you should have F-smashed there too.

Peach can play stupidly aggressive against a lot of characters can not be punished for it since every aerial she has auto cancels and she can keep herself from being shield grabbed because of her amazing jab as well as having a few mix up options from it such as grab.

Peach, to me, promotes stupidly aggressive play styles because she benefits from a removed system that no one else really has on their entire aerial move set. By removed system I mean L Canceling, while even in Melee some moves had less landing lag then others there was a way for everyone to cut down on it and make moves that at first looked so-so into rather good ones. Peach doesn't have to worry about the removal of it because she gained the new auto cancel system on all of her aerials while a lot of other characters suffered from L Cancels removal and Auto Cancels introduction, which is really ****ing stupid and one of the big reasons I dislike Peach as a character.

You can't really be aggressive against Peach because she's a lot better at it then Mario is. This is definitely a MU where I prefer to using a campy character. I honestly play more Link against Peach then I do Mario. With Mario I just do my best to keep her out with spaced Bair's and well placed Fireballs while creating openings with FLUDD and doing the best punishing job you can against a character who can do something stupid and not be punished for it by mashing jab or a smash.
