Who is the worst match up for the character you main? What are some of your nightmare match up experiences? How do you deal with your Mains Nightmare Match up? Is your Nightmare Match-up fun or frustrating to you? Do you even play as your main during his/hers Nightmare Match-up? Is there any huge noticeable change in your style during your mains nightmare match-up? What would you recommend to other people when dealing with their nightmare match up? Is your nightmare match up not all that bad at 40-60 (Enemies favor) or is your nightmare match up a real and true nightmare at 0-100 (Enemies favor)?

I guess sheik
What are some of your nightmare match up experiences?
peach i haaaaaaaaaaaaaaattttttttttteeeee pichu vs peach marios aren't that fun also
How do you deal with your Mains Nightmare Match up?
MY MAINS WORSE match-up I simple make less mistakes, read better, more mindgames , better spaceing more mix-up. play smart learn to play before you aim to win.


Is your Nightmare Match-up fun or frustrating to you?
sheik is a somewhat fun MU for me anymore.


Do you even play as your main during his/hers Nightmare Match-up?
yes, if I lose it's becaus eI got hit and didn't hit enough therefor eit's my fault
Is there any huge noticeable change in your style during your mains nightmare match-up?
I take them more serious, no pressure.
What would you recommend to other people when dealing with their nightmare match up?
adapt, learn, play as their charcter and knowledge is power. think about why you were hit or missed.
Is your nightmare match up not all that bad at 40-60 (Enemies favor) or is your nightmare match up a real and true nightmare at 0-100 (Enemies favor)?
really the worse MUs in the game are went thye movement camp you so it's impossible and DK vs falco

Falcon vs falco when he poopoos on your shield (but then again, I get a grab and I poopoo on their stock) and sheik when I cant get away from her **** downthrow.

Samus Marf.

Oh god the sword... oh god... it beats everything... there is no answer... *shakes in the corner*

Been getting better at the matchup, thanks to extensive *** beatings from local players, but I think in the end, I'll be using a Sheik secondary on it.

My personal worst matchup with Samus is most likely Sheik or Peach, I'm comfortably with Marth and Ganon in general.
Usually I don't enjoy obscure matchups though, like someone playing Roy, M2, etc

they say Link's worst match up is Sheik because of her 0-death chain grabbing, but I think Falco is harder to play against. I can play pretty good keep away vs Sheik. She's fast on the ground, but she has horrible air mobility and no way to reflect projectiles outside of power shielding and decently charged needles. Falco's lasers are everywhere and pretty much stop Link from doing any of his moves because they are so slow. Link also doesn't like his shield being pressured at all. He doesn't have a good option against shffling.

Sometimes vs Falco and Falcon, I just go Fox. As for him.. well I don't really fear any match up. Only good players.

Well, I pretty much main sheik now so I don't have a nightmare match up, everyone is easy for sheik to beat except fox. But with link >.>...My nightmare match ups are sheik and fox, the rest of them aren't so horrible.

As a Yoshi, either spacie is hell really.

good thread.

as a falco main, my two least favourite matchups are jiggs and marth.
against jiggs and marth a play falcon. who is debatebly tied with my falco for goodlyness.

but for falcon, my least favourite match up... is probably fox. but i dont play a good sheik/falco very often so it could be one of those two. against fox i would go falco.. against sheik.. probably falco again.

Characters that rely on tricksies bother me more than the typical top tiers. Those matchups are familiar and very comfortable.

Someone floaty with lots of punishment like Zelda or Peach.

This goes for all the characters I play, Falco/Falcon/Roy/G&W whoever

As a marth/falcon, I HATE shiek..
Although my marth has gotten worlds better at the mu.

But my falcon vs shiek is just.. A headache. Since shiek falcon is like 95-5 shiek:(

I usually go fox for shiek

As jigglypuff, I'm scared of:

fox, falco, falcon, zelda, luigi, doc, mario, ganon, peach, link, young link, ice climbers and other jigglypuffs.

But I stay with it because they probably hate fighting me more than I am scared of them.

I hate Fox dittos; it's to the point that I always switch to Falco because of how much easier it feels. I used to hate Samus as Fox as well, but I haven't played that in a while.

Shiek....dthrow ftl Only hope is pretty much 0-death combos, dthrow chaingrabs might be the most frustrating thing ever. Basically I have to just evade until shiek makes a mistake and then punish with knee combos otherwise I'm screwed.

Sheik
Peach for some reason (I suck against her)...I feel like I have to hit her 100 times to kill and she has to hit me like...once
Sheik
Pikachu...super fast, uair puts me in miserable position, usmash kills at dumb percents, and edgeguarding is sooo scary
SHEIK

:mad:

If I face Sheik or Marth I just cry out loud. Marth is not so bad after learning the mu troughly but sheik is a ***** no matter what.

Dance to express, not impress!
I would think that a platform/laser-camping Fox is everyone's worst nightmare.

You play GaW?

I demand dittos if I ever see you at a tourney.

As IC, I can't say I dread any particular matchup although I have been in a doubles match against double PEach and had a Peach on my team. D:

As GaW, I'd say that I hate spacies/Falcon.
