So I don't think I've seen this discussed anywhere, forgive me if it's been posted and I missed it.
I am wondering what everyone's thoughts are on players going NOT FOX vs HBox. I can't remember the last time HBox lost to a Marth, partly bc M2K goes Fox against him. I know it's not a good MU for Peach so Armada goes Fox against him. Plup's Sheik has shown it can do it but he too goes Fox against him (I do think Plup's Fox vs Puff is better than his Sheik though, and I'm not saying these are bad character choices).
It just seems like every top player switches to Fox for Hbox. Then Summit happened where HBox dropped sets to both Falco and Yoshi. Maybe they are almost flukes, or maybe it's partly bc Hbox has played Fox vs Puff A LOT. IDK whether Axe's Pika, Falco, or YL has the best chance vs HBox. Does Mang0's Falco have a better chance in the long run? What if M2K went Marth in MU?
I'm just curious what other people think. Do you guys think using a character outside of Fox is the best option for top players? Or if a non-top-6 Falcon, Falco, Marth, Sheik, YL etc. has a decent chance to beat HBox.
