no1 counters DDD he only has even matchups like GaW and Falco if mk is banned.
rite now the only counter to ddd is mk and most of the times when the best DDDs are knocked out from tournies it is from a MK

IMO DDD has bad matchups vs Oimar and ICs, and an bunch of even ones. Seibrik was sent to the loser's bracket in CH4 by blackwaltz (then azen)

Though I do believe if MK goes then DDD will be the next dude everyone complains about.

3De has bad stages
3De has bad matchups
3De is not 3De's worst matchup
3De is not breaking the metagame
3De is slow and punishable
3De is not an easy character to pick up and dominate with
3De does not have a b move that out prioritizes 7/8's of the entire casts moves

lol, MK is the only ban-worthy character.

MK 3-7
Snake 3-7
D3 6-4 or 7-3 (Its inbetween that)
Falco 50-50
Marth 65-35
GaW is about 4-6

Falco > Dedede in the straight up matchup. I wouldn't say its even cause there really isn't anything dedede has on Falco except trying to edgegimp (which 100% of the cast tries to do on falco so....)
Being the speed he is, dedede is nowhere near as gay and unable to counter as MK.

If MK gets banned, the way the rest of the top and high tiers work the game actually balances out really nicely. There is no MK 2.0.

Also Miller you have to have the most biased, worst neutral opinions when it comes to anything that has to do with ICs. (Hell it took you forever to admit MK counters them) I'd ask Ambrose for how they do against all the top tiers like that.

I said MK didn't counter IC as hard as everyone thought.
Also, what I said on that "chart", its based off of complete fact, if you really want me to explain it all to you, just ask.

Fact!? :laugh:
How could anyone's subjective opinion thats based upon how their IC's do against certain characters be complete fact?

Sorry, you just don't know as much about this game as you think you do, and if you did you'd be #1, or at least place better. (Kinda like Ace, who you said " shows what you know" to, the irony is killing me.)
Thats why I'd rather go by Ambrose's opinion of the matchups, cause he knows better, its as simple as that.

um i can give reasons for why falco is like 50/50 for DDD. running away sh lasering and then side b doesnt work well at all on DDDs. a big part of falcos game is the grab game imo, and its really hard to get a grab off on DDD especially with his spot dodge and grab range. also characters like snake/fox/wolf/DK etc if you cg them and spike them off the ledge you can either edgehog or just hit them again and thats an entire stock gone there.

with ddd the fight really starts at like 60% after DDD has been chaingrabbed and spiked. ddd cant be killed from the spike unless you want to go for a double spike which is EXTREMELY risky especially with falcos recovery, and also avoidable if the ddd is smart with 5 jumps. falco probably wont kill dedede until high 100s in the 170%+ range without a well placed fsmash.

now DDD can throw out some waddle dees to help with the laser spam andd just run up and shield its not really hard to do. smart ddds will use their 5 jumps, run off the stage and bair whenever falco decides to recover. ive seen atomsk do it to people and it connects like 90% of the time. falco is fast and has good spacing tools especially with his jab but like again DDDs grab range you can grab falco out of a jab which is pretty gay. so imo the matchup is 50/50 as of rite now

Ummm what!? Dedede is probably the MOST vulnerable to this because of his slow running speed, he pretty much can never punish the side b ever. It also doesn't help that he's a huge target to laser.

Now for the other things they're mostly good points but as you said grab takes dedede to 60%, but then from there you barely even need grabs again so the reliance on ddd outgrab gaming falco becomes pretty null.

Now as I said ddd needs to take the game back with edgegaurding, but pretty much all of ddd's other good points are nullified by Falco. As long as falco can space properly and spams laser's its an uphill battle for ddd as you wont be getting sidestep dodged because you'll just be lasering outside of grab range.

He just doesn't have as many tools going for him in this matchup as Falco does, thats why I'd say its not even, but not too far from even. 6-4 would be about right.

I think Falco has a SLIGHT advantage on DDD. Chillin woulda beat Seibrik if he didn't get Lylat Cruise'd (why he went falco on LC is beyond me)

On a semi-related note, I think Mario would do OK vs DDD if not for the infinite/CG. Just my opinion...

imo, falco counters DDD especially if its a relatively big stage(FD, yoshis, lylat, and most of the counter pick stages) If the falco plays really carefully and campy like lasering and illusioning, theres limited options for DDD. There is no way that match up is even...about a 4-6 for DDD if not worse, imo.

Yeah, this thing is going to have a lot of differences after oin2.
Which means lots of possibilities for people to prove themselves!

(You also forgot GK, who's been mia as well)

Dude, don't forget KC, he's back! And I really really think Nickcam or Mikey will finally get there. I mean come on, Nickcam came 7th at GOML! No recognition whatsoever.

My goal is still the same, up-and-coming, I know lame, lolol, I still can't seem to even get there.

Not many people know about my epic choking at GOML... lost to lawlbot first then was immediately eliminated by a random in losers. This was on a day where I came in second to pools, losing only to Percon (I beat Bug 2-0). I felt like such **** >.>

Since then though, I've been going to casuals and such, so I'm much more prepared. Also, I use MK now wtf.

oh yeah I remember him. He was pretty good! He never beat me, but he gave me trouble, and I saw him do some nice stuff on some of the others in the pool. Definitely had potential, did he stop playing? If not, tell him to keep practicing his Marth. When MK is gone, Marth is going to be a force to be recogned with :)

he's starting to use Falco as well. If he wasn't so young, and if I didn't fail by not driving, I would bring him with me to these things, I just have a feeling that if he had more practice he'd be better than me.
