... And it's still the same.

Plus Marth still has better results than pikachu in general.

uhhhh

ESAM took 3rd at MLG dallas, Mikehaze took 9th
ESAM took 4th and Pound V, Mikehaze didn't attend
Esam took 8th at MLG columbus, Mikehaze took 25th
Esam took 4th at MLG DC, Mikehaze took 6th
Esam took 9th at MLG raleigh, Mikehaze took 25th

also keep in mind a lot of ESAM's money won from this isn't accounted for in Ripple/john#'s data. where Pikachu is still doing better when you consider the ammount of usage (marth has 3.2 % of money as opposed to pikachu's 2.2% but marth has more than twice as much usage). if you added in ESAM's 5000 dollars from MLG dallas... yeah.

Raziek has the best idea imo. The order would need to be determined but I think thats the most obvious tier placements.

Speaking purely from results, Mike is amazing but he hasnt done nearly as much as ESAM. Making such claims means youre not knowledgeable on either character apparently. Also take away mike and you take away the history of marths success. The same is not true for pika. Pikachu has forever placed better than marth where it counts with multiple users.

also a lot of marth's money in that thread comes from ally's secondary marth at whobo... lol

if you included all of this money from nationals ESAM's Pikachu would be lightyears ahead of marth with half the usage...

I'd like to point at Neo, as well the many Marth/MK mainers including Zex and Havok.

All Pikachu has really had besides ESAM is Anther. And KPrime, I suppose.

I mean, come on. There's a problem with representation when NOVA SCOTIA has the 2nd best Pikachu.
No, really, ESAM said so.
















I'm really not joking.

Mmm, there's also that. Marth has no real hard disadvantages besides MK. Minor loss to Diddy and Dedede.

Certainly one of the cast's safer match-up spreads. Marth doesn't have to worry about pocket counters.

Excluding mike no other Marth including NEO, zex, and havok (with marth at least) has done as well as pikapika or anther at the national level. But again this is results only.

Also syko isnt the second best pikachu >.> He is really good though.

It is exactly as I said Chuee.
Community tends to exaggerate things.

Marth is a very solid character. No major advantages, no major weakneses.
On the other hand, Pikachu is more extreme in his play. He has some bad matchups he does not want to face, and good matchups he ***** in.

Neo used to destroy people in his prime.

Nah, the US should come to us. We're still up 1-0.
ally is canadian.

@chuee- there is a difference between one tourney and getting outplaced at every single event. Matchups are way too subjective to be used... besides if marth is placing so bad his matchups must be worse than they currently are... lol

and if sonic continues to place extremely well while wario is **** then you could conclude that sonic is better lol.

@chuee- keyword(s): Used to

or maybe
MAYBE ESAM is the better player.
Also @ used to.
He said Anther and Pikapika.
Anther doesn't even play anymore.

Europe
NEO needs to come back to show that marth ****
Like he used to **** people in the past? Oh wait, that never actually happened in tourney more than once or twice. If any "retired" Marth player could show "that marth ****" then I'd expect it to be Roy_R before Neo.

Does beating Orion, who is a US player (now in Europe) and is good, count? xD
No, it doesn't. Orion is only considered an american MK player if he places well / top 3. If he places below that he magically becomes a european MK player and it doesn't count anymore because EU MK players aren't good and he's one of them. Only if he does well he's a true american!

His wasn't funny in the slightest and it makes my head hurt.
Results are results, you cannot rely entirely upon them ebcase, herp a derp, results are created from many, many variables that cannot be measured nor controlled.

Results are only an aid, they don't dictate things and should never dictate tier.

I dont deny he said it, just that hes not correct, lol. He doesnt pay enough attention to all the players. Although everyones entitled to their opinion.

Not correct. What MUs are you thinking of?

but opinions should. okay.

@chuee- mikehaze is the the pinnacle of marth, ESAM is the pinnacle of pika. maybe marth doesn't win that matchup by as much or at all? or maybe Mikehaze would have won that set 7 out of 10 times. one set doesn't mean a player is better lol.

To be honest, I can't see why Pikachu couldn't be better than Marth. *shrugs*

because marth has fair and as a result wins 3/4 of his matchups 6:4

@chuee- show me the results. where has he been even close to the national threat pikachu has except for one occaision? (and pika still outplaced him)
