I have a long way to go.

We're a small community based on Super Smash Bros. Brawl. We have a ranking system, but it doesn't matter.

That's right, the rankings are like the Wii Remote Jacket: nobody cares.

If you're seeing this, that means you're a guest, which means you either haven't signed up or you haven't signed in. Unfortunately, we've had to disable guest posting, so if you want to contribute to our community, you'll need to have an account. If you make a new account with us, you'll be limited to posting in the Beginners forum. Once you make just one post there, you'll become a full-fledged member, and you can post wherever (and almost whatever) you want.

We look forward to brawling with you!

(Also, if you got here without checking out our main site, I suggest you do so: www.globalsmashfederation.com)

I have a long way to go.; Blah.

I lost every single time. I won or came close to winning a majority of the friendlies I played, but I got smashed (lolpun) during the actual tournament. I'm fairly certain that the matches were being recorded, too. When they're up on Youtube, I'll link them here so you can all watch me fail to win even a single match, let alone a set.

And I find MK seems to have an advantage against other swordsmen. He's just too fast.... A lot of mt friends play as MK, and I find Pit and Ike to be good against him. I you really want to kill a MK, use Olimar or Luigi.

Donkey Kong and Snake are generally regarded to be the best counters for him, though. As for Olimar, the nature of his recovery makes it way too easy for MK to gimp him -- easier than usual, that is. I'm curious about why you named Luigi, though. As for the name of the tournament... It wasn't anything big. Local. But after not having any solid competition for a couple of months, I just wasn't able to keep up.

Graphix God Posts: 45 Group: Brawler Member #165 Joined: September 16, 2008 Friend Code 4811-6616-5058	For olimar, MK relies heavily on close range melee, with ranged pikmin attacks, he won't even get close (unless he spams his dash b). Luigi's high priority areals can beat those of MK and his recover is just too good.

I used Jiggly against Jin's MK and I came pretty close to winning. Pretty much all you need to do to beat a MK is to be able to beat him in the air.

In fact, he really doesn't even have anybody who goes 50:50 with him, cept, well, himself. Rumors been spreading that Yoshi's good against him, which wouldn't surprise me though, Yoshi's really good against a lot of the high tier characters. Anyway... Jiggly isn't a good counter, sadly, I just suck at MK, which brings up the question "why main him" my answer: "dunno, I don't anymore."

MK has no "hard" counters as of right now. I haven't heard anything about the ban on GameFAQs in a while, though. I wonder if it went through... Edit: Can't believe I didn't notice this before. Ender Luigi's high priority areals can beat those of MK and his recover is just too good. There's no such thing as priority when it comes to aerials; there is only range (unless an aerial collides with a ground attack). MK's aerials definitely outrange Luigi's.

Advanced Member Posts: 807 Group: Referee Member #29 Joined: March 18, 2008	I'm pretty sure the closest any character gets to being good on MK is 50-50 and thats MK vs himself, as far as others go the best is 55-45 in MKs favor.
