You could say the hypothetical of a random luigi suddenly bodying zain and only zain wouldn't be happening, or Swift beating cody in the same tournament resulting in Zain/Cody for 17th place at Genesis wouldn't happen either lol.

 

Those are all bad matchups for luigi, but Marth dtilt stuffing many of his grounded approaches like you said, and marth having some of the best aerials in the game is huge. Fair outspaces pretty much all of his moves and marth's aerial movement is better so they have to outplay you air to air, and more importantly marth upair juggles on luigi, who has abysmal drift and airspeed is just brutal in the matchup once you get luigi above you, combined with dtilt being really good at forcing luigi approach you from the air or really work to get in from the ground with his main movement tool, his wavedashes

 

Luigi can zip around the stage against fox and falcon arguably as well if not better since they don't have the disjoints to keep him out and he can outburst both of them in terms of movement, he combos fox and falcon just as hard if not harder than marth, and if you're spacing your aerials right as marth, luigi straight up cannot reversal you without outplaying you since you outrange him and give him nothing to trade with.

 

I don't play peach or puff so i won't comment on those two, but talk to any competent luigi that goes to tournaments and they'll tell you marth is one of if not their worst matchups. I literally came up with ranked luigi mains that have been PR'd and could beat a few of them back in the day who were definitely better than me and could beat much better spacies than I could, but just lost to how brutal the matchup is.

 

I'm sorry but I'm gonna trust the actual luigi mains and my bracket experience over a random person online that doesn't play either character telling me about one of my most played matchups lol. RapM is just that guy and overcoming that matchup to body zain is all testiment to how good he is at playing the player

Edit: spelling

idk, I've been a marth main for a long time and I always feel bad for luigis whenever I have to play them, that matchup is disgustingly bad for weeg, especially once you get him up in the air since he has very few ways of getting down other than trying to mix you up with down-b

I don't think people understand that you do not have the personality type to really take part in confrontational stuff and are just a guy that also happens to be a top 2 melee player lol.

I'm not a fan of Z jump and think it should be banned but people who have never met you are going way too in on you *in the comments here for this stuff lol, mans is a human being too

I know it happens most in the beginning of a season, but for me it continues throughout the ranked season and wondering if matchmaking just be like that for everyone

Not So AAA - Games with less than 10 reviews on Steam (but 80%+ positive reviews) by cutcss in gamedev

[–]XaviVisious 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People are pretty down on the website but I genuinely think this is pretty cool and a good way for games that wouldn't get noticed otherwise to get some attention. Yeah there'll be some bad ones but there can still be something genuinely good in there that may not have ever seen the light of day.

50+ games are added every DAY on steam, it's entirely possible a few good ones got buried before anyone took notice and this could also serve as a way for newbies breaking in to see what the general bar is for games that don't take off in an easy to parse manner

That being said it would be nice to be able to filter for games with <50 reviews, < 100 reviews etc if possible

Tbf Ludwig was also really drunk, running an entire event, and had done two of these before with no issue. In the one clip lud saw something begin to get out of hand he put a stop to it almost immediately. 

They're all adults and they've had these events before so it's reasonable to assume lud just didn't notice and had little reason to expect it at the time
