ZSS/Sheik/Rosalina/Pikachu/Ryu vs (insert big heavy character here)
But we already know the competitive meta is heavily skewed when it comes to heavies and slower characters.

What will listing them do about it?

How bad is :4mario: vs :4littlemac:? I'd imagine pretty freaking terrible. It's pretty much one of the only if not the only matchup Mario has that is positive instead of neutral.

:4megaman:vs.:4luigi:
Mega Man wins 70:30.
Luigi can't approach Mega Man, Mega Man can easily gimp Luigi, Luigi doesn't have a good answer to all of Mega Man's projectiles, and Luigi has a hard time killing Mega Man (there are probably other things, but I can't think of them off the top of my head).
So yeah... Luigi loses this matchup pretty hard.

:4mewtwo:vs. :4metaknight:

This MU is a bloodbath. MK juggles and combos Mewtwo hard and has the potential to kill him incredibly early, Mewtwo basically loses as soon as the match starts.

:4ganondorf: :4zss: gets my vote as most lopsided in the whole game.

:4ganondorf::4sonic: on FD is pretty close.

I disagree. Mario is a top 10 character. He beats lots of characters. :4wario::4dedede::4duckhunt::4pacman::4palutena::4shulk::4lucina::4jigglypuff::4ganondorf::4charizard: for sure just to name a few.

Lucie? Nah, not really. Marcina is one of those somewhat awkward matchups for Mario, where it's not necessarily bad but not very optimal. All of their options outrange Mario and they can kill him much earlier than he can kill them, and due to their weight and floatiness, Mario needs different and somewhat less efficient combos against them. Due to how slow they are in this game, the matchup is not as one-sided as it was in Brawl or as catastrophic as it was in Melee, but it's still kind of in Marcina's favour.

He does have a lot of 60:40 MUs in his favor. His all around even MU is what makes him top 10, though.

I think that :4ganondorf: vs. :4sheik: is more lopsided than :4zss: , purely because all Sheik has to do is camp with needles, lacking any commitment whatsoever. If Sheik were to get in on Ganon, then Ganon has absolutely nothing to get her off. At least with Ganon ZSS, Ganon can somewhat intercept ZSS' linear neutral with f-air and n-air, and can kill ZSS insanely early from a whiffed grab by her part. They're both still terrible MUs for Ganon though.

I'd also vouch for :4bowser: vs. :4zss: being the most lopsided MU in the game, next to :4littlemac: vs. :4sheik:.

Mac and Sheik is at least somewhat less lopsided on FD. On stages with platforms though? LOL, poor Mac.

Good points. Mac sheik is horrible, but I wouldn't list it as one of the worst in game. It requires skill from the sheik player, and mistakes are heavily punished. Mac is too fast to get camped that well by needles so she kind of has to go in and put herself at risk despite being able to carry him off stage with fairs. Also super armor on all of macs smashes can lend to some very favorable trades for mac.

This is completely unrelated to this thread. What's the point?

If you read it you would know. Villager and Rosa both win 70:30 which is pretty big. Obviously we can list low tier characters like Shulk and say how badly he loses to Sheik but doesn't everybody know that?

Ok, well you could have shown only those MUs instead of making a giant pointless list. It was very misleading and looked like spam. Next time, just think about how you compose a post.

I never knew the thread got popular(Smashboards notifications plz)
I wanted to make this thread because it would be fun to discuss wacky MUs that are unwinable.

Mario-Dorf is pretty even. Also Zero Suit is definitely easier for Ganon than Sheik, Pika, Villager, or Greninja. Ganon-Greninja actually might be one of the worst MUs in the game. Greninja can camp, run away, gimp, and kill really well. It's like fighting a heavier Sheik with a Pika-like low to the ground hurtbox. Sheik might still be harder, but Greninja really is rough. MK feels manageable for Dorf. Obviously sometimes you're simply going to get caught in Uairs but otherwise Dorf outranges MK and kills really fast.

You dont really come across good MKs often but i know how brutal it can be...because you are never ready for it...

I decimated once by a for glory MK he was insane i litreally couldn't do anything...
That's why MK is so good. Almost anything can set up into something deadly and before you know it you're dead. Everyone should know his power!
