Guys, we need to work on what our numbers mean. Some people consider 35:65 a matchup you should never win, and 25:75 laughable. 5:95 is definitely unbeatable. 15:85 probably is too.Summary - 05:95 in mk's favour.
Reasoning - I don't think mk is unbeatable.
they're just theoretical degrees of matchup severity. They have no set meaning, but are generalized theorizations. Such as color-codings. "Red" doesn't have a set specification, but it's a generalized indication of severity.And what are the numbers a ratio of? I don't know if I've ever seen people agree on what they mean.
ie 50:50 means that if the two characters were to go 100 matches, they'd each with 50.
40:60 means that if the two characters were to go 100 matches, one would win 40 and the other 60
Or is it something else?
I don't take those numbers seriously. It's just an approximation. My ratio is based on 2 skilled players playing their characters at the tops of their known metagames and imo, a top mk will beat a top ganondorf virtually every time.Guys, we need to work on what our numbers mean.

For the record, MK isn't unbeatable since no MKs seem to do the matchup correctly. I'm confident I could beat any Ganon in the world with my MK, since I would actually play it like MK is supposed to and I wouldn't fall for Ganon's tricks (and I would jump into your Dark Dive and Dair you out of it). But for tournament purposes, I think it is around 25:75.
MK plays like a moron, so why can't Ganon? D:I use to pick FD, since you can live long in the center of it if you DI well.
I want to stay as far away from the ledges as possible when fighting MK.
(Of course, by that, I don't mean I just stand there like a moron.)
In the lower percents, chainchoking is probably the better option since MK is quite light and with the help of DI, he could get out of follow-ups quite easily.'cause he dies if he does so. =\
Well. I like to pick SV or FD, since in Pirate Ship I get water gimped and in Norfair I get planked like hell.
hmm...
I would like to know your opinion about the Gerudo matter on MK. Should we go for the follow-up or for the chase?
(Deleted something from old post, apparently) EDIT: Depends on your ability to read your opponent, I guess.I would like to know your opinion about the Gerudo matter on MK. Should we go for the follow-up or for the chase?
Sorry. I must have deleted something from my post. I honestly can't remember what is was.Going to have to disagree. How could Chainchoking be the SAFE option? MK can escape or even damage you from a misread, it's more intellectual guess-work to wrack up damage than guaranteed 20+ damage.
I would read into an fsmash or dair if I didn't follow up at the start. I do agree that you should chainchoke if you have a respectable lead, have them at the edge of a stage, or if you are sure where you'll opponent will go.
