Bowser dittos are the same way usually. Lots of shielding going nowhere, lol.
FOUL! >:D

Not entirely true for all Bowser Mirrors. I would play like I normally do with other players and attempt to pick up on their habits....Try to at least. >__>

Nothing beats a Luigi ditto.

I love ditto matches because you can deliberately counter-pick your characters worst stages and win

Snake grab only dittos are fun... MK grab fights are also fun, pivot grabbing a dashgrabbing MK is satisfying

And then there's DDD dittos which are practically grab only games anyways...
Dthrow to the edge, infinite, Fthrow for a stock.

Yeah, but keep in mind. Lain would lose in lain dittoes any day.
I absolutely love how the best IC player in the nation loses to the best Pika player in the nation's IC's, whom he doesn't play against anyone else but Lain.

what teh fack.

It means that you don't know much about your character compared to your opponent because they are beating you in a mirror match xD

Well, that or you're just not used to playing against your own character. This is probably especially true of characters that have unique strategies, as they could only get experience by playing a ditto, which don't happen all that often.

I wouldn't exactly say that, the styles can be so polar opposite that it throws the other guy for a loop.

Well there are multiple reasons why one could lose in a mirropr match but it is impossible to give one reason and say that it is one reason only. I'm only giving out 1 of the many reasons why you could be losing in a mirror match.

Learn your character's weakness. It's basically all about the matchup.
Mostly.
You need to be just as aware in dittos as you are in any other matchup you're not familiar with. Be aware of your opponent's mistakes and try to punish and outplay. It easier said than done though.

I have noticed this thread is just complaining about how stupid your respective charters ditto are. So ill join in Lucario dittos are stupid. Its scientifically proven.

I know yo char's hitboxes better lain. <3.
It's why I can still beat people with them, plus pika's sexy.

Pika dittos are amazing.
So are IC and Lucario dittos.

hehe

In dittos you either don't get to exploit the usual gay you can exploit.
Either that or the gay exploits the entire matchup.

Either you can't be gay to yourself (ie: Falco can reflect his own laser)

Or you gay yourself over (ie: DDD infinites himself)
Thanks nice to see you still alive ussi.

I think the only way to make ditto matches any better would be to listen to some good music while you fight since obviously things gonna get pretty gay

What are you talking about?
Duhh.
For example, Pikachu can't cg himself, thus all of the usual gay is gone, except for pika's general tactics
ICs, can't cg while both have nana, thus the matchup is all about spacing and landing attacks, and the whole gaying game is gone
DDD, the matchup is consumed by the piece of gay that he can usually place on the matchup, and it takes that and goes crazy.

Even Anther agrees that IC dittoes are the best. :evil:

The problem with Dedede is that it turns into who can land the most bairs. CG's aren't that good... useful, but an ******* move.

Mario dittoes have got to be the worst.

Don't ever play a DDD ditto. I never thought there could be anything worse than a Melee Jigglypuff ditto on DL64, but this is definitely it.
