I left D3 out because he doesn't matter, along with Lucario, GnW and anyone below high tier. They just aren't as relevant to the metagame (or previously mentioned like ZSS). For that matter, Pit probably does better against Wolf and Yoshi, but who the hell cares about them!? In any case don't just say Pit does better in the matchup. I've never seen __X__, Espy or Speed even PLAY a top DDD (so rare), so unless you have a Pit beating one, why bring it up?
As for Pit vs ZSS, I KNOW there is a pit in Nick Riddle's area as Maharba already brought up. I don't know their record, but Sonics is better by far at this point.
As for ICs, I'll give that one to Pit, solo ICs is less relevant in US metagame with all the stages they suck on, but thats still very impressive even if 9B probably has a winning record there. Lain definitely isn't the only US

to fall to Sonic in the past year or so.
Diddy Kong...sure Gnes beat Espy and __X__, but did some pit beat him? Or ADHD? Or Dekar? Or Jebus? Gimmie a pit beating a good Diddy Kong if you wanna bring him up. If top pits would rather pick sheik or something to deal with Diddy, then how well do you think he does in the matchup?

Espy> Jerm(top toon link in the region) at Nikefest 4 for recent results.
Pretty sure you are wrong about Nike vs Esca. But it doesn't matter anyway, because I can quote Nike arguing he isn't even a top 10 Marth. Not to mention if 9B trumps all of the sonic victories over ICs, then Mikehaze trumps all of the lesser pit wins vs lesser Marths.
@ pikachu, Espy vs ESAM at MLG (see i gave you a freebie) looking more impressive than what pit has going. ESAM also lost to KIDgoggles.
![Olimar :olimar: :olimar:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Top Sonics overall have a decent record vs him. __X__ lost to Annuar (though i heard he uses many characters so maybe it wasnt olimar), Espy has his wins over RB, Denti etc. as well as his losses. Don't tell me Earth coming from japan with the best Olimar exp the world has to offer beating Annuar puts Pit noticably ahead.
![Snake :snake: :snake:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
well what can I say here. Can't really compare Espy losing to Ally and Razer with Pits beating Fatal and Bizkit. Lets see a pit do remotely well against Ally then.
i lol'd @ "mks dont know the matchup", because I'm sure all the top MKs have been studying how to power shield arrows and avoid getting mirror shield gimped. You can't play that card in a discussion about one mid tier being better than another. In a metagame where MK is soooooooo important, you can't just brush off the fact that Sonics have done WAY better. Top US pits either fail or use a co-main/secondary for MK because Pit just get beat down.
Stop hiding behind "oh but that didn't happen cuz no high level pits". If these matchups haven't occured at a high level, then why do you guys think its good for Pit? How do you know Nick Riddle/shlike/dakpo/ybm wouldn't stomp esca/kira/ravyn etc. if it never happened? This is exactly my point, all you have is some theory typed up and designed to support your agenda.
@ maharba, __X__ winning a game vs M2K on Rainbow cruise >>>>>>>>>>>> Masashi beating an MK on FD/SV/BF. M2K is better and on a better MK stage.
