My matches have been: Link, Ganon, Young Link, Ganon, Ganon, Rosalina (that was actually a good fight), Ganon, Ganon, Jigglypuff. Edit: Laggy Pichu I couldn't touch

Here is a question/topic to discuss:

Who is/are your main(s), and do you enjoy ditto matches with them?

I main WFT and unsurprisingly I don't think I've ever actually played a Wii Fit Trainer ditto.

Whereas I also use Captain Falcon and god drat if Falcon dittos aren't one of the purest forms of fun in Smash

I don't think I've ever fought a Jigglypuff with my Jigglypuff. I imagine it wouldn't be too bad though, all things considered. The best counter to the air game is an air game of your own.

I basically never get Marth dittos because everyone uses Lucina instead, but they're... interesting. I use the shield breaker and side-b a lot which tends to throw a lot of high-GSP Marths off their game. They spend all game short-hop-nairing and expect me to do the same, and I just... don't. I did get one recently though who beat me and got all his kills with upsmash, that was weird.

I literally cannot remember the last time I had a Robin ditto. I've definitely had at least one, but it was so long ago I don't remember anything about it.

Ganondorf dittos are hilarious and I wish for one every time I play dorf.

A Bowser v Bowser fight is incredibly satisfying.They can end quickly if the other person is boring though, the suicide grab kills Bowser at basically any percent.

This. Ganon is everywhere. Then all of the Links, Wolf, Lucina/Roy/Chrom, Ike, Pichu, Zelda. A surprising number of D^3s, as well.

I have fought a Duck Hunt mirror match twice, maybe 3 times. They're so rare, and so very few of them actually play the character(s) as though they can move while using trick shot.

Edit: I have gotten so many stocks from other characters deflecting or pocketing trick shot it's hilarious. Isabelle and Villiager both seem to forget that the can counts as an explosion that can hit anyone, and when you increase the damage:

This as been my experience as Samus against Bowser. Bowser really doesn't seem to have a lot of options against Samus at all from what I've dealt with.

I think I’m slowly getting better at online. I’ve won my last 4 matches with Mega Man and at least half of my last 10 with everyone else. Whoever told me to use Leaf Shield more was onto something.

I’m still not shielding enough, but I think I’m improving there too.

I like dittos as Ness, because I'm usually better than them. I can get why people get annoyed at PK Fire spam, but as a Ness you just absorb that poo poo, which is something they don't really catch up. Then when the try to PK Thunder somewhere you just jump in and absorb it too. I tend to get destroyed with my other though. I'm only kinda good with Ness compared to the other characters I enjoy playing.

I'll bail after losing my second game sometimes, but losing has nothing to do with it. Whether I win or lose, I can only play 1-3 games before I have to switch characters. I just can't sit there for an hour playing the same character, I need a little variety.

Young Links are the most annoying fights online for me, I think. You gotta just hop up around them to avoid all their poo poo, but that's the easy part. The hard part is getting up in there for a blow when Young Link's attacks come out incredibly fast. That aspect also makes punishing or following up really difficult.

With Samus it's gotten super fun with everyone in the universe having a counter or reflect to just charge the beam and never fire it and watch the other player play worse and worse as they get increasingly paranoid about a shot that will never come

Young Link's attacks are fairly slow and nearly everything is safe to shield and punish, just shield and grab any incoming attack and 99% of the time you'll be safe.

Man, it is crazy hard to do well with Bayonetta in Ultimate. She is still pretty fun to play, but her knockback and damage are brutally bad and she is super light. She feels kind of awful at everything.

she's good at stringing ridiculous combos together out of basic building blocks but initiating the combo in the first place and finishing off someone you've comboed to a high percent is a struggle
