"Pikacheap" as you call him, is currently only ranked 25 out of all the characters from tournament rankings. If he was truly that cheap, don't you think he'd be doing better?

A direct quote from a match up thread placing the match is Marth's favor:

"Pikachu - A straight forward match. Pikachu has some good tools honestly, but you have a sword. You can jab Thunder Jolts all day. QAC is annoying, but not deadly since tit only goes into aerials, and Pika's aerials are outranged and outprioritized by you. D-smash has tons of priority, but your spacing game means you won't be getting hit by it much. If you get hit by it just repeatedly Smash DI up and you can get out fairly easily. If you don't Smash DI out in time DI to the left or the right, so Pika can't hit you with Thunder after the D-smash. Your F-smash is equal to his in range, but his sweetspot is in the middle of the thunder shock, while yours is at the tip of the blade so Marth wins out here. His recovery is good, while his edgeguarding is decnt, but not spectacular, so generally the both of you won't be edgeguarding each other too effectively, although you can edgehug him easily when you know he has to go for the ledge. If he is edgeguarding he will usually do a jumping Thunder Jolt that you will have to contend with. Just fair it if you can or airdodge if you aren't too low. If you are edgeguarding him and he just used skull bash then you can run out and hit him if you space well or counter it."

thanks

its characters not players and its a different way of forming a tier list. Give that chart and the character matchup chart a year and a tasty tier list can be made.

Not that tiers truly mean as much in this game as they did in Melee. Still have a lot to figure out about this game though.

I kind of like this chart as well, not much on it that I disagree with anymore. Only thing I really have an opinion on is Snake Vs. Dedede. I don't think its an even match up in any way shape or form. Chaingrabs and a decent ability to edge guard him doesn't make up for the fact that its hard as hell to grab him and get him off the stage in the first place... Especially if the Snake knows what he's doing -.-

I disagree the differences if skillz of MK and Snake are so far past most characters its ridiculous. I play Pit for fun and i enter tourneys with Pit. But i know eventually i have to step my game up. Tiers in brawl matters a lot, soon ill have to Main Mk and Snake for tourneys and pit will just be for fun. M2k mains snake and Mk also and he rapes my pit.... =/

Compared to Melee, Brawl is a lot more balanced.

Snake and MK have yet to discourage me as much as Fox and Falco did in Melee.

Meh if you say so, only time will tell anywayz 3437-3042-1785 im ready you?

u havnt played good ones yet.
