Squirtle vs
CloudNever played a Final Fantasy game, but this character is amazing. You get to keep people away with a huge sword AND have a tool to force their approach. Speed! Range! Power! Have I mentioned how fun is it to hit 3 to 5 up airs in a row? Or edgeguarding with Limit Blade Beam and Cross Slash? Or doing reads with Finishing Touch and killing at, like, 55%? I love this character so much.
Yeah, I main Cloud now.Peach vs Dark Pit
He's a clone and she's a bunch of references to super mario 2. Peach can do some sick stuff with turnips and has so much potential with her float combos. Dark Pit doesn't have anything special, besides his side b that kills much earlier now. Still, you'd need a read for that and I can see Peach winning neutral more often with her turnips than DP with his arrows.
Pac-Man vs
BayonettaI love how both characters work, but I think Bayonetta is more fun playing with and against, nowadays. She used to be insufferable with her absurd down tilt and dive kick, but after the nerfs, she's more enjoyable to face on the battlefield (and still a top tier!). Playing against her fills me with adrenaline like when I faced pre-patch sheik. It's one of those characters that forces you to play your best.
As for Pac-Man, I LOVE seeing how creative people can get with him and rooted so much for Abadango, back when he still played the character. Still, playing against the average pac can be very boring, since they'll do their best to wall you out at all times and that's how I remember the character when I think about it. Not very exciting.
Kirby vs Zelda
Cute and fun. Zelda always lacked in frame data and combos. She's a very good character in low-level play, with din's fire and her fast smash attacks, but I can't do much with her against better players, so I just don't have as much fun with her as I do with Kirby. It's not like he's an amazing character, but at least I can fool around with the copy abilities and use his jumps to keep people off the stage.
Dr.Mario vs
LucasI really like both characters, but Lucas is my favorite from the two, because of his game (hoping for western mother 3, waiting for the mother 4 project to be finished and etc). Also, Lucas was the first character I tried jab-lock and footstool combos with. Good memories.
Ryu vs
LinkI really like how Ryu works, but Link is so iconic. Sure, Ryu is iconic and faithful as well, but I like Link more. I don't have much to explain here.
Mewtwo vs Wario
Mewtwo is fast, has really nice damage combos going on for him with down tilt and fair, has a great projectile for the neutral game, a reflector, disable, amazing kill options with his throws and smash attacks... Wario just has to run away for 2 minutes and pray his fart works. I liked him more in Brawl, but his concept didn't change much since then. Also, Mewtwo is a LEGENDARY POKÉMON! Way cooler.
Rosalina & Luma vs
LuigiI love how she works, but I hate luma so much. The concept of a puppet master is fantastic and they did a good job making luma a threat (maybe too threatening). The game really changes around her, because you need to get rid of luma before doing anything, since that thing is really dangerous. It's pretty much the matchup against Ice Climbers in Melee, but without wobbling and Rosa gets a renewable partner.
Still, I think Luigi is a much more charming character, being so goofy. I play him more often, too. Luigi it is.
