He could, but than M2K could pick who he wanted, and he'd probably win in the Sheik ditto. Counterpicking goes, loser picks stage, winner picks character, loser picks character.

I think if Fly stayed Sheik, M2K could've counterpicked a different character, and Fly would rather play ICs vs Peach than Sheik vs other character.

lol @ the Samuses... each went 0-3, 3-0, 0-3 in bracket (except Duck who got a win in his first set)
why do I main Samus too underpowered

Anyway, great tournament (and Tipped Off 9 was cool too!) Too bad I spent my whole weekend watching smash instead of finishing the work I need to do to graduate... loooooooool

I believe winner has to choose character before loser does IIRC. It depends on the ruleset they were playing at as this was the case at EVO

I don't think that Samus is that bad. She has many powerful techniques that most players just don't utilize at all. My favorite is shff missile. Might have the most untapped potential in the game at least out of the upper tiers.

not that long (and I still haven't attended any tournaments for whatever reason, mostly because I'm bad)

yeah to be fair, I can't say in good conscience that "Samus is holding me back"; I'm just terrible

on the other hand, sheik is soooo easy ;P

Samus IS very good, high teir for certain. She also doesn't have too many hard counters, which is very nice.

Eh, I'd say Sheik and Falcon are very good vs Samus, and Puff is pretty good too... also, Fox is Fox

On the other hand, Samus does have a relatively good matchup vs Falco, and a good matchup vs ICs

What lol? Besides Fox and maybe Peach she's disadvantaged against every single top tier. Especially Sheik and Puff who are like 80-20 vs. her. Not too horrible against Falco either I guess

so yeah she is high tier but has a lot of pretty hard counters

Falcon and Sheik demolishes Samus. Puff and Fox too. Peach wins handily. Marth wins.

Falco and IC's are the only matchups really that is good for samus, and I'm pretty sure falco wins against samus too..

Shikyo: Where you at the Finnish tournament 3 weeks ago or so, close to Helsinki? Me and a few other Swedes attended it.

Definitely not. I've played Duck, Hugs and Darrell at Apex 2012 and even though I was much worse at the time I did pretty decent.

There's a Samus main in my local community too and fox definitely has the advantage.

Just because it's better for Samus than falcon or sheik doesn't mean it's a good matchup.

It's kinda like saying Luigi is good against Falco. I mean he's good against Falco in a sense that he can fight relatively evenly but not in a sense that he's actually good against falco.

Hence why he said the matchup is even, not favored . Even a 4-6 matchup deficit I wouldn't consider as 'demolishing'.
