I like how the optimistic list is more accurate than the pessimistic list (except DDD since he can easily destroy you).Snake loses 45-55 to olimar, its not that bad. I used to think it was slightly worse but Razer has changed my mind, he's far better at the matchup than any other snake.
When it comes to most matchups I like to make 2 different charts, one that is optimistic for my character and one that is pessimistic. These ratios represent the highest or lowest numbers that I believe could realistically be argued for the matchup.
(Optimistic for Snake)
45-55 MK
55-45 IC
50-50 Olimar
50-50 DDD
55-45 Falco
50-50 Marth
55-45 Wario
55-45 Ike
(Pessimistic for Snake)
40-60 MK
45-55 IC
40-60 Olimar
40-60 DDD
45-55 Falco
40-60 Marth
45-55 Wario
45-55 Ike
Even if we accept all of the pessimistic ratios, they're still slight disadvantages. Pika still has even or slightly disadvantageous matchups against characters as bad as Ness, Peach, and Kirby, and borderline characters like GW, TL, and Lucario.
The pessimistic list is just depressing. lol. Everything is negative for Snake... I just can't see Ike, Wario, or Falco being negative. Sure most of these MU's are hard, but it's deff doable. There are some Negatives like Marth, DDD, MK, Pika, and maybe Oli, but it's not terrible at all. I see Pika and he has -2 MU with IC. Esam mains IC's to counteract that negative MU. For us, we can deff be solo and just main Snake, but it really comes down to a matter of preference. I'm always thinking of trying a different main because Snake's MU's can get difficult. I'm recently trying GW for characters like DDD and Pika just because I feel like I can play those specific MU's better. You can always just do an Ally and go MK/Snake, but MK is just boring. lol.
