lol, idk about owns all, but I'd be inclined to agree that his matchups are underrated.
Every community comes to the Snake boards and says the same thing every time. Snake can be juggled, and he has a terrible air game. I've expressed my thoughts about it, and many of our matchups are not what they should be, but of course I'm just a guy who goes to a few tourneys here and there in MD/VA.
and yes Snake is ****
Lol i can't agree more; that kind of arguments are crap, in fact, following that same logic Ice Climbers should be the best character ever in Brawl (and already banned btw) because they can chaingrab and infinite every character, but what people forget is that they need to check how can they setup the grab, how risky (or safe) are those setups, and how hard is to do the infinity
Same for Snake; when people say "Snake can be juggled and has terrible air game, so the matchup isn't that bad, it's 45:55 or 50:50 instead of 35:65, 30:70, etc" they just made a terrible point; because they need to explain first how can they get to that point of juggling snake, how safe is to do that, how hard is to do that, and take all that into account.
Ice Climbers isn't the best at brawl and despite the infinite they have bad matchups because the infinite it's very hard to perform, and it's very hard for them to setup a grab. They already know that many times they need to be frame perfect. I kind of laugh when new infinites or "combos" are discovered and immediatly people start to say that the matchup it's more do-able; many of those infinites are very hard to perform and/or setup, they need frame perfection... etc
It's the same concept with vague arguments like "Snake it's juggled", "G&W is light", "Bowser is fat", "Falco has terrible recovery" because, though those are facts, still a deep analysis is needed in order to how effectively exploit those weak points, how hard, risky is to do, what setups can i use, and most obviously but almost always forgotten, what the other character can do as a response for not falling into your tricks, and what weak points can the other character exploit about your character, and finally then, make a correct and a non-one-sided balance of the matchup
Please don't say tl; dr, lol
and btw, i already did a post with the movement i think will happen in the next tier list; it's just a what-i-guess list, but anyways this is only a fun topic about what each one believes, not something serious like a match-up discussion
