what are these matchup ratios based on in terms of stages... all the neutrals? or all available tournament stages like a match? (neutral + 1/2 counterpicks)

ike is better than 60:40 on a neutral but worse on a counterpick

It would be kind of painstaking to do match-up ratios for every stage. So it's really just a comparison of both characters head to head. Stage usually isn't considered. But if you had too, then you would go with neutrals.

And I really don't feel like Ike is better then 60/40 on any stage.

maybe on yoshi island (pipes) since a gimping game on ike doesnt take place as much there.. not to saying that he has the advantage on marth but it might be better for ike

2 people convinced = confirmed?

I had a hard enough time convincing people it was 60/40, 55 45 is stretching it too far.

When did I ever say 2 people convinced = confirmed. When did I ever say it was only 2 people.

I just listed 2 people that are well known on Marth boards. I didn't do a poll asking Marth v Ike matchup ratio.

The majority of people you are convincing aren't even good at this game or know what a good ike looks like anyway.

But like I've always said... matchup ratios are stupid to begin with. 55/45 == 60/40 for all intents and purposes and that number isn't going to change how you play against them.

I didn't take it out of context because your one-liners have none.

But in addition to there being no point in the actual ratios there's no point in arguing them.

I'm just stirring the pot cause my friend isn't awake.

Comparison Logic used Shaya's matchup litmus test!

Sheik is only 45:55 disadvantaged against Marth! I'm going to keep saying it and maybe it'll come true if I say it hard enough!

So I played my first tourney in a while, It's been some time since I've played in 1 being in college and all.

The metagame has progressed a lot since I was last in the smash seen so I want to say this.

I take back what I said about Link/marth being a 60:40 advantage. The matchup is more 65:35-70:30. Just thought I'd say so I don't feel like an idiot.

It's all good. Everyone makes mistakes. Don't worry about it. No need to apologize for that kinda stuff.

to be only 7th on the tier list. So where's the error? one would logically think it would come from biased matchup discussions but i actually find them to be suprinsingly good. so then what is it? i'm thinking it's maybe that marth doesn't have as many total **** matchups as the characters above him but that's just guessing

I was randomly messing around and thought I'd throw this out. You can gimp Snakes recovery with Marth's Up B in similar fashion that you would use MKs to hit him out of cypher. The cypher will hit you, and allow you go get back to the stage. It kills a pretty low percents and is satisfying.

Unlike Mk though marths DS doesnt have as much extreme knockback while airborne as Mk's Shuttle loop, would the cypher hit you even if he dodges the DS??

Marths biggest weakness is metaknight

Did I mention that Metaknight controls the almost the entire metagame?

Thus, even with so many advantageous matchups and so few disadvantageous ones, because metaknight controls the metagame, marth won't be fantastic level like the matchups make him seem he'll just be good/great level.

^The tier list is old and bad. And biased. And bad. And old. Next one comes out January 5th.


I think I made my point.
I hope Link gets last. I can come out with my secondary marth and then go to Link for major laughs if I win.

So why is this one of the few character matchup threads that doesn't use that popular chart like I just was looking at in the Falco and ROB boards?

The cypher hits you even if he airdodges im pretty sure. I'll go test it again. A tipper Fair or spike would probably get the job done at the same percent, but I think a fresh Up B is a pretty nasty and viable option.

I don't think marth has a disadvantage of any of the characters it depends on how you use him
