im sick to death of the mk vs pit matchups and g&w vs pit though im not sure what people find so bad about marth vs pit or olimar vs pit i seem to do just fine agenst those chars

so my main question is whats a great secondary for pit that does decently agenst g&w AND mk

it kills me as a pit exclusive tournament guy to do this but it must be done

not using either of the dks just dont like their playstyle

not using mk either if you wondering why its cuz im not a douche :)jk to the meta mains

I would say Snake because he is good against G&w, Marth and supposedly MK.

We have these threads coming up every month or 2 so you could probably use the Q&A thread for this question.

Use captain falcon against meta knight. You won't win, but at least it will be entertaining.

I use lucario as my secondary, though only against meta knight - for nearly everything else, I just stay with Pit.

Snake is a good counterpick. He rocks stages with platforms because of his F-Tilt, and he is strong in general.

Personally, I main Diddy and secondary Pit. If you want to have a decent chance at beating MK choose Diddy or Falco. Diddy works well for me in MK matchups.

^Diddy is a good secondary. He does fairly well against meta knight and his yells annoy people almost as much as Pit's voice does.

I'm trying to second Mario, idk if it's going to work out, but he has some things people don't expect maybe you can catch them off guard, the sad part is playing Mario feels so terrible recovery wise after playing Pit.

I dual main Pit and Marth with Diddy and Ness as secondaries. It seems to work well for me.

you could always go hard core and go with who you like. =/

look at me I main PT and TL. PT doesnt usually get me far in tournies but I can put up a good fight. I wouldnt give PT for anything in the world. Besides, I can always get help from guys I know like Reflex Wonder who is the best guy we have.

Snake works for your blind matchups like they said. A lot of brawl players are bad and try to win using the same thing over and over again. Tornado/dsmash with meta, and turtle/Dair with GW.
Grenades + Shield beat them both.

For awhile I figured the Ice Climbers would work well. G&W and MK are nearly the same weight so the chaingrabs wouldn't vary much between the two. However it can be difficult to grab a MK or even a G&W.

Some say Bowser actually does quite okay against Broken Meta with his grab release options, pretty average, but still at a small disadvantage. DK would be another option occasionally.

my second character has always been toon link. When pit couldnt handle heavy characters, during the earlier part of my brawl "career." Toon link is perfect for them. Fast, really good at comboing heavy characters, with his multiple projectiles, he fights off metaknight alot better then pit could ever hope to. His boomerang acts kind of like an arrow loops, and stuns people long enough for finishers. Toon link has an amazing aerial game, possibly even better then pit, at least in my opinion. He also plays very similarly to pit. A great mid range character.

I've always used MK, mostly to respond to G&W and counter stages. Thing is I suck at MK dittos so I usually stick with Pit for that matchup. >.>

I dual main Pit and Wolf. So far, so good. I can handle MKs pretty well as Wolf, but they sort of tear my Pit up.

Go figure.
