Sonic Matchup Export #1: Meta Knight

[Espy Rose]

lol, I was wondering when you'd catch the edit.

I need a lot more experience with this match up.

I've played several awesome MKs in South America (one being Ecuador's best, the second being Argentina´s best).

I didn't even come close to defeating the first one. My attacks simply didn't land on him, and I got hit instead most of the time. Chaining into an Uair after a spring was practically suicide.

Argentina's top MK 3-stocked me the first time, but in the 2nd match I somehow managed to bring him down to 1... so I guess I was finally starting to realise how to play the MU.

I could go into detail about what gave me trouble... but it's basically ALL of MK's moves vs the few options I have to play around with.

But I'm willing to go all the way, after these awesome Sonic vs MK vids.

I pity Georgia for having someone as soulless as Iblis.


On topic: I don't fully agree with a -2, but whatever. MK's gonna sugarcoat, and Meek is insane in the membrane.

I mean...Espy, most MU's that're -3 (IMO...then again my opinion is warblegarble) or worse either consist of some sort of "impassible" technique (Example: desync blizzard wall vs Ganon) or an infinite/something just generally gay (Example: Marth grab release on Ness).

Spoiler

You just mad 'cause MK be out here winning vs you and you don't know what to do, so you just blame it on the matchup.

The character IS undoubtedly overpowered/borderline broken though. lol.

I haven't lost to a Meta Knight in awhile, actually.
I'm too busy losing to characters/players who deserve it.

But in all seriousness, why are they -3's then? Those kind of match ups sound more like -4.

 

[MeekSpeedy]

-4 is for people who are...wellllp...emo.

Like Speed. His matchup chart for Brawl would be -4 in every matchup, and 0 in Sonic dittos.

@ Espy: The point MU system in brawl is kinda off because of people's perception on what differentiates between a -1, -2, -3. I think that has to do with the majority of our community never being competitive in another fighting game precursor to brawl.

Also you dont really have any top MK out in Texas anymore do you?



Also something else on regarding MK and his ftilt. If he ftilts your shield, pay close attention. While ftilt can frame trap by staggering it ( its virtually a smash equivalent of a rekka), if they wish to do a dtilt or grab kind of mix up, you have:

MK FTILT:
1st hit cooldown: 19
2nd hit cooldown: 30
3rd hit cooldown: 30


in terms of frames to punish him. So a lot of times its fairly easy to sniff out an ftilt mix up and get a grab or iDA or even our own tilts if your reaction is on. Just something to point out.
