I think it all boils down to large variances in perception of the game. Even amongst individual characters, certain players like different match-ups.

mewtwo vs falco on advantage chart should be -2 not -3, its not THAT bad a matchup as taj has shown, and falco doesn't kill off the top like fox so mewtwo has less disadvantage due to his light weight than in the fox matchup. -2 is fair, but not -3

Why dont we just keep statistics of match-up win rate in tournament? All characters who have 0 tournament representation can be given -3 in all match-ups because they dont matter anyways.

when you say "we" does that mean you're volunteering?

Sounds like a lot of work. Like brawl character rankings except harder cause tournament results aren't as easy to get and there aren't as many tournaments.

how many matchups are there

64 chart only worked so well because the number of matchups was double digit and almost all of them were played by multiple people

U weren't supposed to take my post seriously. I'm not sure what the word is for it, but its meant to make you think a little bit and come to an opposite conclusion.

The trick is to just make a chart
And then after a while it will be generally accepted
With people regurgitating the numbers listed here on this chart

So basically, gratz on your finished chart
no one else is going to step up
I can't believe you stuck with it for so long any way

Besides who gives a **** if a matchup is accurate or not, the goal is to win.

Yeah GOD!, everybody thinks you're adorable and all, but why don't you just stop?

You're pretty much ruining whatever slim chance you might've had of becoming a respected, contributing member of the community. And for what?

ST players still can't come to a consensus over this stuff even after sixteen YEARS of that game being played all over the world. It's not a big deal if there's a few controversial matchups.

Anyway, I'm sad to see that the thirtieth iteration of the chart is being abandoned (by the looks of it).

LOL so basically you read about trolling on 4chan and decided you wanted to be a fake Internet tough guy. Gosh I just want to pinch your cheeks!

P.S. I'm a known and respected member of the community, at least amongst EC players. Whereas you're... some scrub who tried to troll the Fox Q&A thread a few times... Good for you, man. I'm ignoring you now.

Carry on with the Mewtwo vs. Zelda discussion or whatever.

That would be extremely ambiguous. And almost everyone would complain. There would be horrible flames for miles and the mods would need to get involved and ban, infract, ban, infract. It would be chaos!

Let's do it.

Yea GOD! is such a weenie. There's a difference between being a troll and an idiot.

I really wish I had something to add but this thread has no direction anymore, and I dont know how to fix it. Now that we have separated all of the characters, I think any possible sparks for discussion are gone.

I think the char spec threads should all be closed an attemps to centralize the discussion are better. In this case too much is much better than too little.

So the pika list is done. Axe, Chad, Zigzag, and I compiled it. I know teh_Icy is giving this up and all, but in case someone inevitably (hi KK) picks this back up, this is it. Controversy ensured.

Pika's matcups:
Fox 35:65
Falco 35:65
Jigglypuff 35:65
Sheik 20:80
Marth 40:60
Falcon 45:55
Peach 35:65
ICs 30:70
Ganon 50:50
Samus 45:55
Doc 40:60
Luigi 40:60
Pika 50:50
Mario 40:60
DK 55:45
Link 50:50
Zelda 60:40
M2 60:40
Roy 60:40
YL 55:45
G&W 55:45
Yoshi 55:45
Ness 65:35
Bowser 65:35
Pichu 70:30
Kirby 65:35

These numbers are based on the following reasoning. The number represents the average number of games out of 100 (or just the average percentage of games) that each character will win in a head to head given the following:
1. Both players are of equal skill, and are at high-top level
2. Both players have equal matchup knowledge of this particular matchup, and are very familiar with it
3. Both players are in good mental and physical shape, i.e. playing well
4. Common tournament rules are in place
5. Matches are played on a tournament neutral random stage (if particular stages swing matchups significantly, the average of the stages' affects on the matchup is taken)

Tl;DR: Pikachu sucks.

:)?

Edit: Thank you for being a realistic group of low tier mains... those seem hard to find.
