V2: http://smashboards.com/threads/official-swf-matchup-chart-v2-0.316173/


This is the third version of the BBR matchup chart, which displays ratings of all matchups in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. This chart was created very similarly to the previous version, with panels created for each character comprising of members both in and out of the BBR that discussed which matchups they would like changed and why with opposing character panels. I’d like to thank all panel leaders and panelists for their contributions to the project, as well as apologize for the lengthy delay before its release.


Like previous versions, this chart uses the +4 to -4 point scale, as described below:
-4: (close to) unwinnable

-3: large disadvantage/hard countered
-2: medium disadvantage
-1: small disadvantage
0: even
+1: small advantage
+2: medium advantage
+3: large advantage/hard counter
+4: (close to) unloseable

Unlike the previous chart, characters are ordered by their cumulative weighted matchup scores this time around. Weighting was done based off of the most recent tier list, with the lowest tier being worth one point, the next lowest two, and so on up to SS tier which is worth 11 points. This means that characters higher on the tier list will have a greater effect on a character’s ranking in the ordered matchup chart. Individual matchup spreads for each character can be found in the collapse tag below the chart.


Also unlike previous installments of the matchup chart, Sheilda is no longer listed because this would skew the weighting system used by essentially doubling Sheik’s worth in most instances (ex. Fox would be lower because of losing to both Sheik and Sheilda). For reference, Sheilda was considered to do one point better than Sheik versus Pikachu, King Dedede, and ROB in v2.


Note that for all scores a competitive level of play is assumed and the performance of top and high level players was considered more strongly than what is seen in lower level play. Keep in mind that the chart does not necessarily reflect the opinions and performances of absolute outliers and is ultimately a consensus between people who are assumed to know their character. Furthermore, the APEX 2012 ruleset was kept in mind.


=============================================================​


As the Brawl community ages, it is becoming more and more difficult to successfully run the matchup chart project in its usual format due to activity and representation issues. Therefore, it is extremely unlikely that another version of the Brawl matchup chart will be released. However, we are working on a way to continue making updates to the current chart without relying on the same process, so as to reflect changes going on in the metagame and correct what possible inaccurate ratios there may be. Expect more information on this in the near future.

YAY NEW CHART - I HAVEN'T EVEN LOOKED YET.

SO EXCITED!!!! <3

Third post!!!

EDIT: Can someone please explain the reasoning behind Ness - DK being changed to +/- 3? I can't find a recent top level match of this MU and as such i'm wondering what the evidence here is that DK suddenly bodies Ness, because to my knowledge that doesn't happen. =/

Otherwise I have mixed feelings about the new spread for Ness/Lucas. NESS MAINS WHERE YOU AT? @.@

I agree, I can't see the MU being -3

ALSO:
Meta Knight/Pikachu IS NOT EVEN
Meta Knight/Donkey Kong IS WORSE THAN -2
Meta Knight/Jigglypuff IS HER WORST MATCH-UP BY FAR

So people are really saying with a straight face that Pikachu does better than ICs, Olimar, Diddy, etc. vs MK.
Sigh.....
Really, Pikachu isn't in their league, player bias too stronk.

ddd/mk -3. not sure how i feel about that. i used to think it was that, then i noticed that if i play patiently, it becomes more manageable. and ddd/falco is -1 imo.

Seems right to me.

I didn't know there were people other than me+Satanpuu who have played the Luigi vs Sonic matchup in tournament. Or was it theorycraft ?

I propose an amended tier list where Pikachu/MK is -1

This is not okay.
But if Pika-MK gets changed to -1, pro-ban will murder us anti-ban peeps. D=

Hehe, but I don't really mind with this MU tbh, i'll let other peeps sort stuff out. I'll just be a quiet anti-ban. :p

So, I just calculated how much this ranking would change with MK banned.
+2 : Pit, Ike
+1 : Falco, Peach, Luigi
-1 : Pikachu, TLink, Lucario, Fox, Sheik, ROB, Ness
Overall spread : 587, from 752 (22% augmentation of 'balance', if you will)

So either the method of weighting matchups is not accurate, or MK's ban does not affect the metagame that much. I'll let you interpret that however you want.

Why is:

Pika:MK still a 0?
Mario:DDD and Mario:MK only -3? I cant speak much for D3 due to inexperience, but Mario :MK feels unwinnable if the MK is competent.
Sonic:Lucario only -2? Isn't Espy like 0-10 with Trela?

ROB : MK moving to -2 is interesting.

Seems right to me.

I've played it in tourney from both sides. +1 Sonic is right IMO.

I disagree with marth vs falco, it should be +1 for marth IMO, same for DDK; IDK for oli, but vs Ike it should be AT LEAST +2 for marth, this MU is so free

Can someone please explain the reasoning behind Ness - DK being changed to +/- 3? I can't find a recent top level match of this MU and as such i'm wondering what the evidence here is that DK suddenly bodies Ness, because to my knowledge that doesn't happen. =/
Donkey Kong can actually always kill Ness if he gets a grab. No air release possibility or stage running out.

-3 tho...

What the hell is Pika doing there with a 0 against Meta Knight?
And MK being 50% better than the 2nd best character who happens to be a character who can 0 death everyone from a grab. Yeah right, he is a not a problem to the metagame, he isn't even twice as good as the 2nd best character.

ITT : people butthurt about numbers they don't understand.

Ishey you should add that "what ratios truly mean" post to the op, a full list of the changes and also a list of how many people contributed to each panel (no names mentionned obv).

Hopefully it will help people understand how things went.

Personnally I'm sad this had to be rushed in order to avoid falling into oblivion, but I guess there was no other way.
Glad it's over and that it won't have to be done again.

I wonder if ICs match ups require more than the following question: how easily can I get 3 grabs?

Yeahhhh MK : Pika definitely isn't even.

Also the Ganon chart is truly awful. Most people voting for +3s have never fought a good Ganon. I wish the decision making process was more organized, I wasnt even informed once about any of these so called "discussions" taking place.

DLA, that blame unfortunately rests on your panel leader, who never really got on things for the second part of this project despite my attempts to contact them and get the ball rolling :/ no other panelist contacted me about it and since there weren't really any MUs for Ganon to defend this time around, the panel basically got dropped...

Stuff like that is why I'm working on a better way to go about the chart-creating process.

Thanks for the response Ishiey. That's kinda what I figured. If we ever get around to updating Ganon, I'd be glad to take over the discussion. This chart makes me kinda sad to look at :C Almost every character is AT LEAST one spot higher against Ganon than they should be, IMO.
