Wolf isn't that hard. I've learned to space my game out more against him and set up the combos well since he falls like a brick. Marth however just has more tools and the Marth's I face around here just know Roy too well. If I remember right Roy V Marth is always in Marths favor if their skill level is the same. Falco isn't too bad if I can get a good amount of grabs into other combos. My ledge guard game is pretty good. I think for Marth I need to not be so hyper-aggressive. Thank you for the advice!
No problem man! I can agree the Marth matchup is difficult, but it's inspiring to me to get on that next level. I tend to play hot and cold in the matchup, if you're 100% aggressive Marth will catch on, and he can really punish. Conversely, if you play really defensively, you'll most likely eat more than your fair share of tippers. Personally, I get more ground by dissecting my opponent, not the character. Anyway that's my two cents.
You misunderstood me. You shouldn't need to change characters for a matchup, but I absolutely believe in being adaptable. Taking on a new character will round out and generally better your play as a whole. I used to main mario, but I switched because I reached a real learning block because he's only really good at developing a basic solid play. I switched to Dorf/Roy because both rely heavily on advanced tech to move around and combo well. I'm definitely not saying you should only have one character.
I agree in the opponent entirely. Everyone has a different play style. I really appreciate your input!
I've messed with Link a bit myself but haven't liked the style he needs. He's a damn good character though in PM.
Marth is my main in Melee so I know his meta game rather well. I've thought about picking the blue-haired princess up again but something just feels awkward when I play him now. ChuDat has some solid Kirby play in singles. And Roy is combo food <3
I mained Wolf and Brawl and I love his fast aggro style. I just never could get waveshining or combo's Out of Shine fast enough. Thanks everyone for their input. I've got a few characters to play with!
I like Snake but I feel myself using the same few moves over and over and become too predictable. I need to work on my variety with Snake.
Out of the list he gave, which do you think fit well with an aggressive style? I don't mind camping but I prefer to stay away from those situations.
I don't like the feel of Lucario but I've been testing MK and I love him. Wolf has some great MU but my fingers aren't fast enough for his tech yet. Pit has been feeling good but I need to study more video to figure him out. Thanks for your input!
As of lately I haven't had any troubles with Fox/Wolf/Falco. I've learned to deal with them. Marth/Mewtwo/Mario/Diddy have been my only troubles and not really big ones at that aside from a good Mewtwo.
I wouldn't say Mewtwo is broken but he definitely needs to reworking and that I won't deny.
This is an easy way to tell which mewtwos are really bad and/or biased. :o
Agreed. From first glance, anyone can tell Mewtwo's range and teleport options wreck Roy.
I have no idea about Marth v Mewtwo, but you could just switch to marth for those matchups. He's not too much different from Roy. Marth is one of the few characters who does well vs spacies, and marth v marth is even because it's a mirror.
Spacies get wrecked by Mewtwo though which is the main problem he's been having.
Funny, most mewtwo's I have seen say Roy is harder to deal with than marth because of Roy's kill options.
Serious question, are those Mewtwo good?
I know it's pedantic and dumb, but this word doesn't mean what you think it means.
Yeah I know. I was typing vs on my phone and I must have put "vsi" and it must have auto corrected with that.
It's mostly from the M2 forum that I see it. However ther is a decent M2 player down here who commented that he has a hard time against roys in general because I played him as roy.
Hmm, that's strange.. It might be MU inexperience? I've read that Marth is good against Mewtwo too.. Especially in the Mewtwo MU thread since I basically read all of it.
Roy's pretty much the only character I play seriously and I've noticed this in almost all my matchups; Roy's approach game is alright but his horrendous offstage game doesn't lend well to how combo-oriented he can be. I find that Ivysaur makes a great secondary, similar principles of proper spacing, good combo game if you're at all used to roy's dair. great approach options with razor leaf and nair, bair's great for closing in and getting away. Amazing off stage presence as well, and arguably the one stronger fully-charged B than roy/ike. But if you want to go more balls to the wall, then Lucas would probably be my next suggestion.
I'm not sure if there's some sort of outdated reply limit as some other forums have (like dont reply to posts 2-3 months old etc), but I just joined and wanted to share my input.
