I implore you to read the whole of this opening post before posting anything.
Around a year ago and since the start of brawl we had match-up discussions going. At the first they were very useful. They were detailed descriptions of match-ups and told one how to play a match-up. Over the course of the project, they dissolved into random facts and opinions over who had the advantage in the match. The focus around how to play the match-up was completely lost.
Brawl has been around for two years now, and match-ups have certainly changed over the course of those two years. I think is about time that we reintroduce that idea of match-up discussion.
However this time, we do it right. We talk about how to play the match-ups. We take the knowledge we know now, theorycraft the BS out of everything in the match-up, test things out, get feedback, and eventually come up with an actual summary of how to play the match-up. No more of this f***ing a** b***s*** about numbers. Or who has the ****ing advantge. That stuff is irrelevent, totally pointless, and does not make us better at figuring out that match-up. Knowing what to do in what situation helps you become a better player. That is the purpose of match-up discussions. To disect the match-up and tell people about it so that they know how to play the match-up.
This is what I would like to see us do, and I propose that we reopen match-up discussions again with the clear objective on how one plays the match-up. If anyone so much as even mentions a number ratio, or a declares an advantage, we utilt them
