For Little Mac there is no single worst matchup. There is just the rest of the roster.
I mean there are like three notable exceptions (according to alternis a high level mdva mac player) with those being terry, sheik, and icies
Little Mac worst matchup ledgetrapping

First of all, little mac is bottom 4 lmao
Second, he surprisingly wins or evens some top tier matchups like roy. Also he completely sweeps the floor with dedede and ganondorf.
@@impossiblehanley2732 Read my comment again before trying to "correct me" lol I and everyone else knows he's awful.
I appreciate you giving the alternate worst matchup when a character’s worst is Steve, he really did change the meta a lot
He even changed it too much !!
Well what about cloud?😭 I don't remember their names but I remember this cloud absolutely destroying a Steve
@@psykoxxkillr7271 Cloud player is that much better, it's winning fot Steve
To me Steve looks like a test to see how much you have to push a slow character in Smash until he’s overtuned
Steve isn't even that powerful. People just can't adapt to creativity because they only know how to pre-plan combos and can't do shit if they can't land their 0 to death combo

Always love finding EDM’s comments
me scrolling into the smash youtubers comment section to find the EDM comment (its always there)
It’s really surprising just how many characters fare badly against G&W. He’s such an underappreciated character.
Mute ace thinks he’s busted
@@oatmeal2goskits492he is busted
Maister was the king of this video
Don't you mean broken/overpowered? He is also consistently present in high placements across tier lists.
He's always been a lot of worst matchups but he can't deal with swordies which has always been meta. I also think mute is a bit biased, I don't really struggle with gnw. I think the matchup is even or -1.
On Samus/Olimar:
There's no one thing that really makes the matchup worst, it's just a combination of a lot of small things. He's small, making him hard to hit and combo. He's able to basically make a wall with Pikmin that completely stops projectiles, including totally shutting down all levels of Charge Shot for basically no commitment on Olimar's end. Samus doesn't have super early kill confirms, so relies on building up a lot of damage on her opponent, but Olimar out-damages her with passive Pikmin damage. And Samus doesn't have a great way to knock Pikmin off of her - Screw Attack is great but leaves her vulnerable, and Up air or Nair only work for certain angles. And finally, Samus has good up-close options unless the opponent has disjoints, and every Pikmin is a disjointed attack.
I assume it was editor's decision but googling what year is it just feels like the most poppt1 thing

@@megacrafter961 oh yeah the Tcnick vid was rly good

Agreed
something else about pit vs diddy that he doesnt mention is how pit just cant use down b against diddy kong due to monkey flip. down b is pits most useful move in disadvantage by far, and its just useless against diddy.
I hadn’t even thought about that!
Love that shulk has a lot of good matchips and he’s barely been changed through patches
I freaking love Shulk
@@Spyder-Marth so do I. I've been maining him since sm4sh even though i haven't played xenoblade until ultimate.
@@dhark1166
I main as Pyra and Mythra. Never played Xenoblade Chronicles 2.
@@transcendentsacredcourage I recommend Torna ~ The Golden Country, it's shorter than the original game but it has a better first impression.
As a Yoshi main, seeing that he gets countered by Shulk, at least according to this video, I’m not mad at all. It’s no wonder why my games against Shulks are a lot closer than most other games, but I’m still able to put up a good fight. Also, I loathe Jigglypuff, so according to this video, Yoshi was made for me…
Any character against dedede is terrifying. He's too... crouch animation
13:40 fun fact, in this clip proto beats Ken's sonic with only lucina, resets the bracket and wins again with only lucina
As one of two dozen currently living Mewtwo mains, Bayo is a huge pain but not quite as brutal as Fox or Falco. Falco in particular has that huge, quick, disjointed reflector to defend against shadow ball, and his combo game combined with Mewtwo's size and weight make the matchup pretty grisly. Both him and Fox just have every tool a character would want to mess Mewtwo up
Despite kazuya and steve's addition to the game I still think min-min was the biggest mistake. I still don't understand how anyone could have ever thought that would be a good addition to the game
I like Min Min
I agree. She’s an example of probably the biggest issue with lot of the DLC characters and some of the non DLCs. The dev team was too experimental and failed to actually have these characters stick in an actual archetype and giving them the benefits of certain archetypes w/o actually giving them the typical weaknesses of these archetypes to help balance them out. In min-mins case she a zoner but lacks projectile hitboxes to actually function like a true zoner so reflectors do nothing and she can endlessly spam her arm attacks in a braindead fashion, hardly ever putting herself at risk. Her also having good upclose get off me options was also an awful idea.
@@FallingandRelaxing Try playing against a decent min min with any low mobility character and see how fast that changes
i dont think sakurai wanted to add minmin, I think nintendo forced him to so they could advertise arms
At least min min isn't super overtuned and has a pretty bad recovery, the nerfs to her nair in the last patch were very good at making her weaker up close
It's great that you're making an update because even at the time I did not think Duck Hunt's worst matchup was Lucina.
Can't wait to see what you chose in part 2.
YES! This series is back! Can you make another tierlist too
I love these deep dives! I can tell how much thought and care you put into this and it really shows. Great work!
Saying Doctor Mario’s PhD has only made him more lazy and even slower felt like a personal attack. I’m about to finish my PhD and it has had the exact same effect on me
Watching the video, I was actually kind of surprised that ice climbers didn’t show up! I would’ve expected ice climbers to be one of foxes worst matchups given how Big D vs Light went. Awesome video though!
ICE CLIMBERS DID SHOW UP IT WAS MIN MIN
It's at 9:20
@@jonemillesteri think he means as the worst matchup for another character

I'm no Sephiroth or Lucas main, but I think the nail in the coffin for Lucas v Sephiroth is that Lucas' magnet doesn't cover himself, so he can't absord side B
Side B is very easily absorbed by magnet believe it or not. And I’m referring to the initial projectile, I’m talking about the orbs.
“And Palutena is like Lebron James” is perfect out of context. Great insight Jordan!
This is great, I was wonder if you would update this and you did, good job
found u like yesterday, i love ur content!!! very informative videos and also super entertaining
Zelda main here, I'd say the hardest matchup is probably Palutena. Palu has fast and safe disjoints that are hard to deal with, significantly faster movement speed, and the ability to play the zoning game with Zelda and force an approach. On top of that she is quite tricky for Zelda to edgeguard.
I don’t think Palu has the range like ZSS. And although she can camp I don’t think it’s too hard to deal with as Zelda having Nayrus and phantom to hide behind. So ultimately she does have approach and get fairly close compared to ZSS
@@carcharo7 I was debating whether or not Palu or ZSS as the hardest. I think on stage zss’s range and movement options makes it almost impossible for zelda to catch. At the same time zss has to pick her spots very well to find kills since zelda otherwise zelda can do some good damage or potentially kill early with lightning kick or up b. So I find the matchup to be extremely slow with neither character wanting to approach but zss just has significantly better tools. Both matchups are pretty bad for zelda. ZSS will run away and win, but palu can just run zelda over and shut down anything she tries
@@the_knees_bees interesting, I find that becasue ZSS has zair, and nair she can apply pressure and you have no way to counter. But at least with Palu all her moves are close enough that a missspaced fair can punish. Or you can go for a read. But with ZSS there’s less chance to do that
Couple things, this is commenting on both this and the followup video:
Very interesting and well researched overall, love how you elaborated on every mu and why they are bad.
1. Yoshi's worst mu is definitely Samus. Shulk is bad on paper but it's actually a matchup that Yoshi wins a lot and he has a lot of win conditions. Even in the clip you used, Ranger loses to Pharaoh way more than he wins lol. Samus is genuinely difficult and the Yoshis are LOSING that mu in practice, just look at Yoshidora vs Yuara(?).
2. There's no way that Meta Knight is K Rool's worst mu. It's probably Falco, Palu, or surprisingly Mii Gunner (look that one up, he quite literally will never get back to stage if gunner spams the grenades at ledge at a specific point).
3. Incineroar's worst matchup definitely isn't Zero Suit, I actually don't know if it comes close. From the good Incin's I've spoken to it's probably Min min or Mario. Skyjay vs Proto and Kurama at summit really highlights this. Min min also has the same justification as ganon (both characters are slow, have bad recoveries, and no tools to reliably deal with arms).
4. Mario's worst matchup is probably Ice Climbers, as he literally can't play the game against them as opposed to shulk. Mario mains win against Shulk fairly frequently, there are plenty of VODs out there, but you'll never see one beat an Ice Climbers on or near the level of Big D, it looks unwinnable, especially if you watched the Summit Set.
Still a great video though some of these picks are mad confusing!
So why does Yoshi tend to win against Shulk in practice?
@@k-leb4671 Yoshi has a lower barrier to entry and an easier gameplan than Shulk and Shulk's gameplan to win forces him to win neutral over and over. He has to keep the yoshi out with well-spaced aerials but if he makes any mistakes, especially in buster, yoshi will just blow him up with combos/advantage state. He also has other win conditions like edge guarding with offstage nairs + it can be hard for shuilk to edgeguard him back because of the eggs + DJ armor. It's still bad for Yoshi but the Shulk has to work harder.
So I will state some counter points on the snake one. He can actually low profile the jab/nair lemons, crash bomb, and to an extent, bair. While his projectiles can be slowed a little, snake can still use them as area denial. As for the up air bit, simply letting go of cipher early can somewhat counteract it and can also drop and detonate c4s on a megaman who isn’t paying attention.
Hey man great video, one thing that would be great is time stamps for each character. Keep making great content
Poppt preparing for little Z’s follow up vid where he challenges these worst matchups by naming half of them as g&w lmao
As a C. Falcon main, I agree with Game & Watch, and I'd say I struggle a lot with Samus as well.
As an Ike main who has conversed with pretty much all the top Ike mains, the matchup most consistently viewed as his worst is ROB. Roy is bad, but ROB is worse-Ike can't get any advantage state going and just dies offstage.
Roy isn't even that bad tbh. But ROB genuinely feels like a forfeit situation.
Years after subspace emissary
pikachu: ay my son is acting up again
Samus: I got this
"Pichu can't do anything against samus"
Meanwhile Poppt1 against a samus:
Wins
the amazing air mobility and dj superarmor means its really hard to get edgeguards or rest confirms as puff on yoshi
i havent played vs yoshi very often but it seems like a pain to deal with
Yoshi is actually very vulnerable off-stage and Puff has excellent edgeguard tools. The reason puff struggles is probably more because she can't travel vertically nearly as fast as Yoshi so he can avoid the edgeguard most of the time
I like the thought and effort into this video, it's a fun listen! Great video Jordan!
And I wanna say, I definitely agree with Seph as one of Luigi's worst matchups, but I feel like Rosa is the worst MU, then Min Min, then Seph, from what I have experienced and observed.
15:00 Believe it or not, Ganon does have some wiggle room against those 2.
Against Min Min, he can edgeguard her extremely well, and he has some way to deal with ARMS through clanking. Fun fact: Dragon Arm can't shoot the laser if it gets clanked (not Ganon specific but it's good info).
Against Steve, blocks and minecarts become less of a problem due to Ganon's raw power, he can even Up-b Steve in minecart.
With that said, I do agree that they're still difficult, and are by no means easy MUs, I just wanted to shed a little bit of light on 2 MUs I unironically love as Ganon.
If you see this Poppt, great video as always!
I swear, Pikachu is still unwinnable match-up, the worst in the game and maybe the worst in the série
Pichu probably struggles more against dark Samus than regular Samus because the charge shot can hit while holding ledge whereas Samus’ shot sails right over the head.
It is true Sonic has a hard time hitting pikachu especially with all those projectiles stopping Sonic since he can’t power through them. Any small character in general does make Sonic actually struggle, and if you add him trying to jump over fast projectiles it just becomes more complicated.
There is no way pikachu is worse for sonic than fox
@@johannessguten2527 He is since Fox can’t really evade as much as pikachu with his impossible hit boxes that are like 2 times his size when attacking but regular when evading
@@serg.i0 fox is much better at catching sonic though than pichu, ledge trapping sonic and trapping his landings. You basically trade safety for more advantage between the 2
@@johannessguten2527 Fox isn’t Sonic’s worst mu
@@RealBroccoliHour I said it’s in contention aegis was likely a bit worse before they got merged
Yessir could you do another every smash bros character in a nutshell video? That one is my favorite video that you have made.
I never thought I'd see Palutena be compared to Lebron James
About Sonic, indeed he's a character that forces you to play his game. I'm a Wolf main and I have a rushdown playstyle, getting up close and personal. But against Sonic, I'm forced to change that and camp him. But by doing that, I'd dare say Wolf becomes quite the complicated matchup for Sonic. The laser can completely neutralize Sonic's spin dash on the ground. Also, with his great air mobility, you can just jump over Sonic and then he can't connect that Spin Dash. When playing on a stage with platforms, and Sonic wants to use the homming attack, camping him by staying under a platform does the trick quite easily. On FD, you can camp him too until he finishes the move and then punish him. Unfortunately, it becomes a game of "who tires the other out faster", and it's one of the most boring matches ever. But it works in the end.
The mu was wolf favored before the nerfs
problem is Sonic already knows he has to play lame sometimes and so any good Sonic will Just avoid laser until you make a Little mistaske and BAM dashes at you
I agree with most of this, though it is noteworthy that some characters worst matchups are not even that bad because they are just that good.
Some things I want to add is that Wario hates Sonic (Im not sure if its his worst matchup but it is very bad), and Sonic may not lose any matchups but either Fox or Pyra/Mythra comes pretty close.
Yea Wario - Sonic and Wario - Kazuya are both like borderline unwinnable for Wario. EWGF invalidates like 80% of warios gameplan
The reason esam thinks that Pikachu beats sonic is because in theory Pikachu can out time-out sonic because of t-jolt and quick attack and better reward for winning neutral interactions, fox and aegis may seem bad because they can catch sonic, but they are also extremely vulnerable to getting gimped, and if they lose first stock against sonic, the match is essentially over
@@missing6747good luck winning neutral against a good fox or actually hitting a good fox with sonics poor normals and frame data.
@@johannessguten2527 literal blatant misinformation, go look at what frame all of sonics normals are on ultimate frame data, also he out ground speeds them which creates a gap for him to use spindash, a move that is literally invincible
@@missing6747 that doesn’t mean sonic has good frame data your assuming a fox wolf position himself to run into spin dash when he can shot a laser or two if sonic commits to spin dash
This videos are sick! Thanks poppt1
im so glad you said this about joker and chrom. I have been up two stocks vs a joker and they just get arsene and kill me at like 30% with his counter. Other characters like palutena or lucina chrom can perfectly space his up special and dodge the counters(this is honestly hard to do consistently), but joker hits no matter WHERE chrom up specials. Way below the stage? getting hit. All the way to the right? hit. Even at the end, coming straight down it stops chrom where he is and gets hit. Joker is the reason im trying to learn other characters since having THAT glaring of a weakness and disadvantage just makes me not want to play. Especially when joker is obviously top 5 and is seen everywhere.
Really weird for the bowser matchup, I honestly never knew that bowser struggled cause I always seem to come out on top even against good kazuya players. Online at least
Either they don't know the matchup or your really good. In this case I say the latter. Respect
As a monke main I got to say byleth is monke’s worst matchup.
I'd love to see the next video and thanks for the first video. I love your contnet.
"Diddy has more range than Pt and Dark Pit, which doesn't make sense since Pit has a sword"
MANY non-swordies can outrange Pit. It's a sucky life to live, lol.
in my opinion sonics worst matchups (though they still could be considered even) are pika, aegis, and fox. They all can match his speed enough, and have a lot of tools that help in the matchup.
Fox is worse than pika and there is 0 chance the mu is even we can play if you want assuming your a sonic main
Pika - Sonic might be losing for Pika. Even is a safe bet but not Sonic's worst. Fox is the hardest MU. Mythra just doesn't kill like Fox for it to be as bad
@@rizvan1632 mythra may have been worse when the smash attacks were more broken and stronger but since the nerfs fox is definitely harder for sonic
@@johannessguten2527 I don't think her Fsmash made that much of a difference
@@rizvan1632 it was lagless pre patch and did way more damage an knock back
yo I'm ready to see little z try to debunk this and fail horribly
Kazyua v Bowser **is not that bad at all**. It’s hardly losing. Kazyua’s neutral is the only thing that makes the matchup difficult. Kazyua’s has a terrible disadvantage, terrible off stage, and can’t get back from the ledge. Yeah we get comboed, but that’s about it
Bowser struggles with fast frame data, strong combo games, and edge guard heavy characters. Like Pikachu, Falco, Wario, and peach
Lol i love how you put your main at the top like everyone else
So I play Samus, but I've never bothered to go out of my way to look at top player matchup charts to gauge matchup opinions.
But when I saw Olimar on screen, it felt like I've known it in my soul for ages. Those little carrots block literally everything, and him being short makes it obnoxious to try to box with him.
Edit: For PT, I'd actually say Squirtle is more obnoxious than Ivysaur. I mean all three are easy to deal with, but Squirtle can sometimes squeeze under medium charge shot from regular Samus (Not Dark though. Interestingly, Dark Samus' lower CS release makes it optimal in both our best and worst MUs). But a medium CS chews through Razor Leaf on reaction and usually hits Ivysaur for it. And if Ivysaur has to recover, morph bomb just says "no".
Leon Says Bowser Kazuya is even and Bowser Steve is only -1
Thank you so much for doing this
I was thinking Falco for Zelda. Zelda hates characters able to rush her down as she has almost no fast, reliable option besides Nair (Which is an inconsistent move). Remaining options are Dash Attack, Jab (which is also an oddity compared to most of the cast as she only has one hit instead of a multiple part combo so she doesn't move while doing it), her mediocre tilts (Up Tilt only true combos with the back hit and is pretty small for an anti-air, F-Tilt's a decent kill move with the sweetspot but nothing to write home about besides that, D-Tilt to Fair sometimes works with not much else you can do but bait/read an air dodge out of it), and Neutral B or Up B out of shield to get people off her in neutral (Second hit of Up-B is also DIable so some characters can get away with only the sour spot hitting them.) She has to fish for grabs or reads for fair/bair sweetspots and up air to get any real distance. (All of which she is punished for missing.) Therefore, she can't use her strongest point, Phantom when people are in her face all the time. The speed of Falco, the laser to interrupt Phantom summoning from almost anywhere on stage so long as he faces her (Unless she does the difficult displacement tech) and the mileage Falco gets from any combo starter he can easily hit because of Zelda's unsafe moves. On top of all that, he has a reflector. As a Zelda main, it's torturous.
Ness 5 worst in order are 1: GnW 2: GnW 3: GnW 4: GnW 5: Lucina
dk's worst mu is falco and wario is sonic
Agree my friend.
Glad poppt is keeping us up to date with the current meta
A good way to make sure that every entry on this list was updated from the last video and to make every entry more unique would be to give two or three picks for each character
Steve must be Donkey Kong 40th worst MU at max, really not his worst, kinda mid imo
pyra mythra link is near unwinnable 💀
Wait till u see the Bayo mu
I won that match
Honestly, as someone that plays a good amount of both samus and duck hunt, I feel like that matchup is on the same scale as olimar samus for the same reasons, can can either be used to counter pressure you from a range, or used as just a wall on the stage that blocks charge shot and has to be considered with every action, and while it's not an instant thing or anything, the gunmen can be used either for more pressure or for an easy block of a charge shot if necessary, which prevents any punishes that could come from a jump or shield stun.
Nice Jordan these are always appreciated.
I think it's crazy that Sonix lost to Riddle's Terry. It seems Terry has that x factor that other characters who lose the matchup don't: deals high damage on small strings and trades, and has a go meter so even if they're combo'd to high percents, they have go.
Also has something that kazuya lacks: Very good speed
Terry is busted
Bruh....i came for DDD, and you cut it at sonic?!

Same! Was scrolling through for our big lad
I just wanna say I liked the chill vid with nick. Thanks Australian man.
Sorry for not making it last stream. Just by the time you started, I was already asleep. Regardless, I enjoyed getting to know what each character's worst matchup in detail even though I'm a casual.
8:46 As a Bowser main who’s played a lot of the game by now, I completely disagree with what is being said here, especially about the Kazuya mu. It’s extremely hard for both of these characters to win neutral, if one of them wins the other is taking 0-100% before they can do anything, hence why this mu is often considered Truely even for Bowser. Steve I can understand but bowser doesn’t struggle with Steve as much as the little electric rat. Pikachu has been widely agreed apon worst mu for bowser because he’s a big target for pika’s multihit chains with fair and bair and makes it very difficult for bowser to win neutral thanks to their mashy based playstyle.
As a Bowser player, I think that Pika MU is better than Steve MU for Bowser cuz Pika isn't very good at killing, but Steve has countless kill confirms. Steve is also heavier than Pikachu, making the block-man harder to take stocks. With good timing, Steve can also ignore hits by pressing the B button at lower percentages, forcing Bowser to go for grabs and side-B until Steve's around 50%. I still believe that Bowser's 2nd worst MU is Pika.
I def agree on the Kazuya MU, since Bowser has better OoS, Ledge-trapping, and edge-guarding game than Kazuya. Bowser can also use N-air as a landing option out of disadv. too, not only D-air and Down-B.
@@ethansura yeah same I used to not worry about Steve as much but now that I think about it Steve mains keep learning new stuff about the character and more effective ways to use their tools which make the mu annoying so yeah, def agree that the Steve mu gets worse for bowser as time goes on.
Auto-reticle is another reason why the Palu-Ness matchup is so bad. It can gimp his recover at most higher angles of recovery and his ascending speed is so bad at the start of his second jump, it will eat it a lot of the time if timed right. It also clanks and stuffs out his up special with the right timing too.
Jordan talking about Ness-Palu: “The movement in comparison is on a whole another level”
Hikasan: *turns into judge Simon*
Well, I guess I know who I’m learning to play: the big three of bad matchups, game and watch, shulk, and Steve
Hate yoshi/Luigi in smash so you know what time it is ? "I'm really feeling it" xD lol good video
I need the series ASAP its my fav of all time on this channel
Lucas being a little manas boy and getting destroyed by a far edgier mamas boy is really funny to me lol
Hinawa and Aerith looking similar doesn’t help things for him.
i’m a peach main, and when i played against that one fire escape spirit where it was all mr. game and watch i felt like it was my own personal hell.
Lucas main here, although sephiroth is definitely pain and suffering, it is nothing compared to the paid of game and watch. G&W can absorb all of Lucas’s projectiles and his juggling is almost impossible to escape with Lucas’s kit.
Hype, been waiting for this
Yay let’s go he updated it
You should win a tournament as a counterpicker and only pick your opponents worst matchup (possibly excluding steve). I think it'd be a funny video and maybe give some insight into how effective counterpicking is vs maining.
I had no Idea yoshi's armour could even be broken. I usually don't even bother trying to edgeguard against the green dino.
With only 3 Months left this year, I must start my Villian Saga as a Steve/Gaming Watch main.
Loving the Luigi player who is dresses as Luigi at 4:00
As a ness main I find lucina to be difficult. If you're off stage they can counter your recovery, they beat all of your aerials with range and speed, and are faster than your pk attacks. (And is just generally not affected by them either).
Ice climbers have surprisingly good matchups against many top tiers like Pikachu, Mario, Joker and can even get a little handsy with Steve. But Min Min and Sephiroth just MELT the poor dears
I like how Andrik was shown for Captain Falcon, he’s a beast ✨👏😎
yay i played against a lvl 9 cpu steve as kirby (kirbo is my main so ive trained for a long time)
I have a good zelda in my area and they say joker still. Counter makes all the slow projectiles an awful risk reward to throw out and joker is so fast, zelda can't really play neutral. She also gets edgeguarded decently badly since teleport startup can be caught by back air or gun and she can just die off that from any percent. Basically the whole matchup is just bad risk reward.
Nice! Time to see how many people destroy Kirby, King Dedede, and Meta Knight!
I play Ike an have to agree with Roy 😂 but I think it's just any fast character is a pain, good video mate.
havent watched it yet but from what ive seen of personal experience + watching tourneys + top play MU charts
most non swordie top-of-top-tiers tiers' worst matchups are gnw (rob, peach, pika, fox)
iirc kaz, roy, snake, wario, samus, mario, etc. do pretty bad vs gnw
I enjoyed learning my mains weaknesses
you NEED to make a part 2, you stopped right before my main
12:26 Pichu actually does amazing against Samus but he can’t do anything about Dark Samus
Everyone should try to run in a buttoned up labcoat just one time just to see how ridiculous it is for Dr Mario to wear one
ngl the mr g&w dealing with zss is like most characters dealing with mr g&w
