Olimar. People say that he should be soooo easy to gimp, but he's probably tougher to actually get off stage than any other character. Those pikmin are like a fortress. ****ing sakurai was on crack when he created olimar's moveset. Congratulations. You've created a character who is near impossible to get close to.


just pick shiek, meta, peach, or Pit those are no doubt his worst MU's

shiek's tilts are good for getting the pikmin off you and if the foward air anything past 70% and its a kill

Meta Knight is pretty much anti projectile and the arial priority just destroys him

Peach has a pretty good approach id consider that 60-40 peaches favor 55-45 at best

pit is a moving forcefield. connect the forward smash at anything past 65% and its a done deal

No matter who I use I always have the toughest time with the Ice Climbers even the ones who only focus on getting a inifnte grab in sometimes I feel compelled to get close and go all aggro.

I'm learning how to play campy and defensive so I can do better against them.

My worst match ups are really those rare good olimars, kirbys, and yoshi. Those are selections you wont see much but those rare good ones idk how to prevent them sometimes. I do win sometimes but i'll have to go with those 3.

oh! and ice climbers and their chain grab <_<

For me it's Peach and Yoshi.
Peach I just find impossible to get to for some reason and that free 40%~ she gets off of Dair combo's is really annoying.
For Yoshi it's....I just find all his moves REALLY aggravating.

Peach and snake =/
I am always doing my best to get percents up on snake. But he makes up to it really fast and kills faster then my character.
Don't know Peach is just weird to play against.

i really have a problem with pit. im trying different things to get around my friends arrow spam and smash if he gets close strategy but i always fail. for all of u who have problem with spammers try focusing on one attack like only getting tipped smashes or only grabbing. my answer to spam is more SPAM! but seriously dont get mad like i do and just look at the opponent and attack

Mario because people jump and spam the fire ball to set up a smash or grab, Olimar, Pikachu, and Sonic because too many people spam the spin dash combo move.

I am that friend. Hehehe, besides maining Marth, I also am trying main Pit, and Ike. Hmm, anyway, my personal bad matchup is probably Ganondorf. Irastart is really good with Ganondorf and against my Ike, I lose (most of the time).

Mine are:

Mario vs. Olimar (It always comes down to who can spam projectiles better or who's above the other)
Luigi vs. Snake (Don't know why, just seems harder than normal)
Yoshi vs. Falco (The Falco Phantasm is just scary.)
Kirby vs. Wario (That bike makes Wario inhale-proof)
Captain Falcon vs. Pikachu (Pikachu has an easy time slipping away from most of CF's specials)
Ganondorf vs. Snake (An interesting, fun match, but Ganondorf has to stay right on top of Snake to do anything)

Those are all the characters I use.

Super agressive sonics then Stun Zpamus and then MK in general and some wolves because I get a bad stage for Olimar...

Marth scares me, he's like all Fair Fair Fair and I throw my banana / use my projectile and he picks it up and throws it back/dodges it and attacks me.
And I get one of those every 4 matches =/
And all the ones I run into are good =/

I hate facing Olimar so so so so so SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO bad. And another matchup that gives me trouble is Marth, but only pro Marth's, nooby Marth's are easy. Toon Link is my main. Those 2 give me trouble.

Falco, Olimar, Peach, Jiggs (with certain characters like Mario, her air game destroys me) Pit (especially those who spam smashes), and surprisingly, Ike. I hate his jab combo and when I air dodge too soon or even forget to. Thus, I get hit by his riducously lengthy smashes. :/
Main is Mario/Snake.

r u crazy that matchup is heavily favored in snakes favor honestly its like 15:85 snake if he tilts gets you off of him out comes the prox mines and the grenades. campers and ganon dont mix:urg:
I think he's the Ganon having problems with Snake, by the way he worded it.

Anyway, I'm probably the crazy one.. Never met any other MK who has serious problems vs. Ike.

My main bad match-up is mostly Marth. The dancing blade is very annoying to me.

Another would be Snake, because of his long and powerful hit boxes.

I just CAN'T play against metaknights, when I go to tourneys my Marth usually just glides through until an MK comes along. I don't really have any secondaries, and I just can't get to a MK! If I do manage to keep up I feel like I'm putting 3x as much effort just to keep it even until they find one moment to throw in something to get me off the edge and I'm WOPd or easygimped. I can't play my usually aggression game, and a defensive game just gets pummeled, I have to play like a freak to have a chance at this **** matchup.

As an IC main i find my toughest match up to be anyone whos plays a campy wolf, i find him very difficult to approach and hes f-smash is a pain in the *** cause its near impossible to shield grab, or dash shield grab towards....very difficult character to approach for me, other then that i dont got to much of a problem with any other characters... metaknights are annoyying, but when i get a grab its a stock, and i always find a way to approach them.

I hate ditto matches, especially when my opponent uses a similar strategy that I use...
Overall, my least favorite is Snake.

I'm not that great with dittos, and I screw up bad against G&W (he moves so wierd; he always catches me offguard). Other than that, though, I usually do pretty good.
