why doesn't m2k play puff vs peach

[Rpggames77]

Why doesn't mew2king pick jigglypuff against armada?

 

[MKarma]

I'd rather ask, why would he play puff against armada??

 

[Dolla Pills]

The only Peach he's lost to is Armada, and Armada's Fox would destroy m2k's puff so it's not really worth it when he has three more practiced characters that all have solid advantages over Peach.

Because that MU is cancer.

We all saw the set at Summit 2.

Puff isn't a secondary for mew2king and even if he learned him and tried to use it against armada, Armada could just counter-pick fox against him. On top of that his marth and fox are already pretty good and can compete with Armada's peach. Just look at smash summit 2, his Marth 3-0'd armada's peach. So, basically he doesn't need to and it wouldn't work anyways.

But then Armada 3-0'd M2K to knock him out of bracket later in the tournament. I remember reading last year that their match history was something like 12-1 in Armada's favor. M2K needs all of the help he can get with the Armada MU.

This is the sole reason why i wonder why m2k doesn't use puff

Because Armada's Fox is probably going to be the Jiggs killer. He's been trying to grind out the Puff MU with Abu whenever he has a chance, so Armada's counterplay would develop faster than M2K could learn Puff at a decently high level.

I feel like HBox's strongest advantage is that he has a whole lot of experience vs. spacies while his most of his opponents have minimal Puff experience. Whenever people figure out how to do the Puff MU, HBox's life will be quite a bit harder.

Yeah but he lost because he went fox. He said that the reason was because if he didn't use fox against armada and used marth, even though he would have won he would lose to hbox when he went fox against hbox. So he decided to warm up his fox against armada so he would be ready to play hbox. Not to mention he was in losers bracket and he doesn't play nearly as well in losers

homeboy isn't going to try and beat Armada's Peach with Puff only to be immediately and thoroughly bopped by Armada's Fox.

Simple answer: bc Puff is at best M2K's 5th best character. Armada's Fox would destroy M2K's Puff so that counter-pick would be rough. After seeing how well M2K's Marth did against Armada's Peach and how good m2k's marth is against fox in general I think m2k would fair much better using marth against peach instead of adding another character to his roster. Just my two cents.
