Matchup Discussion

(reply to Leontes from Summer Smash thread)

I think BBB is actually quite a strong character, but unlike other characters who do loads of damage or whatever, he doesn’t “feel” very strong when you are playing him. everything feels like an uphill battle (even when it’s not true) and like all your best laid plans are about to be unhinged.So even though I’ve had very good results with BBB I find myself shying away from actually depending on him… too stressful for me… but I do think he’s generally undestimated

As for the Quince matchup, I remmeber when the new characters were about to be released, there being an argument between Aphotix and MadKing about the matchup… IIRC Aphotix said it was very, very bad for Quince – not sure if they actually disagreed on the direction of the matchup or what, maybe it was just about “how bad” it was, heh. They had an exhibition match to settle it. After playing BBB for a while, it did seem like a hard matchup for Quince, so I’m not too surprised by those numbers
