Would you play your best character in a 40/60 fight or a secondary in a 60/40?

[Brinzy]

If the numbers are confusing, would you use your best in a disadvantageous match-up or a secondary in an advantageous fight?

Choose Metaknight.

And DKKountry was never heard from again.

 

[MilleniumFalco]

its better to work on your bad matches than switching to someone else or something. Or just pick a top character that doesn't have to worry about it so much

 

[DKKountry]

Choose Metaknight. Problem solved.

First post in the thread to suggest MK.

 

[LinkSpecialist]

I'm a stubborn person, so ya, I'd play with Link through and through.

 

[plasmatorture]

Would switch to a secondary in a heartbeat. Then again, while I don't actually play random anymore, I'm still in main-less land (leaning towards Kirby and Fox, note I'm a Brawl+ exclusive player now).

 

[Starscream]

And Kirby and Fox just happen to be beastly in Brawl+.

 

[:034:]

Having a 40/60 disadvantage is honestly nothing for Ganondorf, so I'd stick with my main.

 

[Maniclysane]

I would go with my secondary. Most of the (few) bad matchups Olimar has are **** matchups. I'd use Jiggly in whatever match she has the advantage in, but she really doesn't have any.

 

[Jimnymebob]

Depends on the skill of the player.
If I was facing a really good player, I'd use my main because I know more about him.
If the player was the same level as me (awesome ) then I may try my secondary.

 

[Sosuke]

I would play my main regardless of match up.

 

[Kirbichu]

If you know you're better with your main, you should play as him.

 

[ParanoidDrone]

I'm too stubborn to switch, so I'll take the 40-60 with my main. Besides, Lucas needs the visibility. <_<

 

[Dokutayuu]

I would play my main regardless of match up.

QFT.

The disadvantage is less serious than the difference in my proficiency using other characters instead of Toon Link.

 

[Rhubarbo]

My main is Captain Falcon. I will always stick by my main. With that said, if there's money riding on the table, I'd have to with Falco or Snake.

 

[BigLøu]

Really depends on how comfortable I am with the matchup. Even if my secondary would have a 60:40 advantage, maybe its just not a matchup I like fighting.

 

[Spoonbob]

I pretty much always use Jiggly.

 

[Rudra]

That would depend on my opponent and the matchup itself. If my opponent is skilled and picks a character that can absolutly **** my character (Fox vs Pika/DK vs D3 ect) I would switch...however, if the opposite is true, or if they're along my level, I'd stick with my main to try and figure out the matchup.

Of course, I sometimes don't listen to that "rule" and go "jumping into the fire" anyways.

 

[Deoxys]

Well, my best character is MK, and I don't know who my second best is but I'm WAAAAY better with MK than any other character since I basically only play him, so I'll stick with MK always.

Don't listen to DKKountry; he doesn't know what he's talking about. There are multiple counterpicks on which MK goes 40/60 or worse against certain characters.

 

[½NIÇK½FBM]

I would just choose the random button and hope for metaknight.

 

[Blubba_Pinecone]

I'm a stubborn person, so ya, I'd play with Link through and through.

Speccy! My Fair beasty! <3

Yeah. Wut he saidz.

 

[Tamoo]

If it were a best of 3 set, i would pick my main first to test the matchup, then, if if that fails, I will then pick my secondary. If my main wins, I would continue using my main as long as the counterpick stage doesnt seriously hinder me.
In a best of one, I have consistently used my main in any matchup, switching to my secondary if i am through pools or sumthing.

 

[Melomaniacal]

Depends on if I'm comfortable with the match up. If I know the match up well, I'm sticking with my main. If I'm inexperienced with it, I'll shoot for the advantageous secondary.

 

[Pr0phetic]

Depending on the match-up ill pick between my main and secondaries, but I only have two match-ups that are like 60-40, and my secondaries countered that.

 

[Bowser King]

I'm bettter with my main so I'd pick him.

-Bowser King

 

[Ugg]

I'd go with my main.

 

[Roxas215]

I use diddy no matter what the matchup is. Unless it's against luigi. Then i switch to zss. Seriously everything that makes diddy diddy luigi just gives a big pimp hand to and says no.

 

[Bowser King]

That would depend on my opponent and the matchup itself. If my opponent is skilled and picks a character that can absolutly **** my character (Fox vs Pika/DK vs D3 ect) I would switch...however, if the opposite is true, or if they're along my level, I'd stick with my main to try and figure out the matchup.

Of course, I sometimes don't listen to that "rule" and go "jumping into the fire" anyways.

If it would be fox vs pika or DK vs D3, it wouldn't be 60/40 but instead 80-20

-Bowser King

 

[Illomatic]

i can do some serious damage w/ my secondary, but more so with my main
i would tough it out and use my main

 

[SwordmasterXXXI]

Stick with my main most of the time. If I'm fighting MK, I'd just switch to him since MK is just a better version of him. >_>

 

[FlipX]

40/60 isn't really a bad match-up. It depends on how good your 2ndary is. Mine is very close to my main so I switch even during slight disadvantagous match-ups. However if you think that the 10% advantage you get from your secondary wont help then you obviously should stay with your main.

 

[•Col•]

I'd probably choose whatever character I have more matchup experience against my opponent's character.

 

[Twilght Link]

i play link so i have worse matchups than 40:60. I would pick disadvantage

 

[yummynbeefy]

There are multiple counterpicks on which MK goes 40/60 or worse against certain characters.

stages maebe
characters definately not

 

[L2theZ]

Depends on a number of factors. What stage we're on, as well as who got the choose the stage via the standard tournament rule set.

You have to take all of that into consideration.

 

[¯\_S.(ツ).L.I.D._/¯]

If my secondary wasn't well developed I'd use my main, but if my skill with my secondary was close to my skill with my main, I'd use my secondary.

 

[Tianxiazhai]

Main. Yep.

 

[supermario27mx]

been there, done that, I have played used Pikachu against Marths (75/25) and G&Ws (70/30) pika's worst matchups and won. 60/40 isnt that bad. btw Pika and Kirby practically have the same matchups so yeah...
GROW A PAIR AND STICK TO YOUR GUNS!

edited for spelling

 

[Mith_]

Rafael, your threads always provoke thought. I like that about you.

Unfortunately, DK's matchups are either real good or bad, so I'd prolly switch.

 

[YagamiLight]

Nothing Ike has goes past 30:70 at maximum so I just tough it out and play my best.

40:60 just requires a minimal amount more skill, it still has little to do with the characters itself.

Something like DK v D3 or Fox versus Pikachu is just stupid to keep DK or Fox in on, however.

 

[Dark Sonic]

Umm...this is assuming that your secondary is actually nearly as good as your main right (I mean seriously, how can you call it a secondary if you're not confident with them?)

I'd switch to my secondary immediately. That's what he's there for and shouldn't be too far behind my main proficiency-wise.
