So, what truly is the WORST matchup in this game?

[Daemantalo]

Let's imagine a scenario where everyone had played their respective characters at an extremely high level and knew the matchup of their opponent's character and variation. Which two characters and variations have the absolute worst matchup numbers. I've seen 7-3 thrown around a lot, but never seen an 8-2 Matchup. Is there truly an 8-2? Please share your thoughts and opinions. I'm just extremely curious what the general consensus is.

What's a 7-3 mu?

 

[Phosferrax]

I've heard rustlings that Sun/Blood God vs Grandmaster is pretty bad.

 

[FOREVER EL1TE]

What's a 7-3 mu?

7-3 means that the mu is heavily on one person side. 7-3 is usually considered hard to play or just not worth playing mus

That was really the inspiration for this thread lol.

What's a 7-3 mu?

I've seen Kobu Jutsu Tanya vs. Jason be a 7-3 matchup. I've seen HQT Predator vs. Kenshi to be a 7-3.

Johnny vs Jason is pretty ass for Jason.

I think he means which MU's specifically are considered 7-3.

Bro, Dualist vs high tech jacqui is like 7-3 in dualist favor.

 

[Phosferrax]

Bro, Dualist vs high tech jacqui is like 7-3 in dualist favor.

High-tech vs anything is 3-7.

 

[Daemantalo]

Johnny vs Jason is pretty ass for Jason.

I was thinking this. Anyone with high pressure potential or fast plus strings (11 comes to mind) could complain screw Mr. Jason. Is Stunt Double the most optimal matchup? Just wondering due to the utility of the yellow double.

I was actually going to post this thread myself. I've been bouncing around MU threads, studying up. It really does seem like SG/BG Kotal vs GM Sub is quite possibly the worst. Maybe even 8-2. Before calling it that I want to lab the shit out of it, or hear from a tournament hardened Kotal main.

 

[Eldriken]

Jason vs Kitana is fucking stupid. Better get used to holding down, bruh.

 

[iMileena]

Kung lao vs. every female charactor -________-

 

[FOREVER EL1TE]

Shhhhhh! Let us dualist mains hope

 

[TamedLizard]

Marksman vs Full Auto.

Seriously, I have no options.

Kitana Sonya Tanya and Cassie all do perfectly fine against Kung Lao lol

 

[ForeverKing]

I'd say the worst matchup I can think of is Goro vs Hish Qu Ten. Or Goro vs Kitana

 

[Pig Of The Hut]

Tanya vs goro

 

[Tony at Home]

Super hard to say, since if it's a bad matchup I'll just switch to a different variation of Sonya that takes care of it.

Demo Sonya vs HQT Preds feels ridiculously bad to me. But to my original point, I just say "F* this" and go Covert Ops and it's fine.

**EDIT**

That's me responding soley from my own matchup experience. I don't play Kotal anymore so I wouldn't know, but oh man, Kotal vs Grand Master looks like a bit of an uphill battle for Kotal

Lol yeah

In fairness I worded it terribly

 

[iMileena]

Kitana Sonya Tanya and Cassie all do perfectly fine against Kung Lao lol

Well.. Offline yeah but i understand what you mean by that lol #NeverForget13-0

 

[Dinosaur]

kotal wargod vs gunslinger seems pretty one sided in erron's favor. Maybe i just havent fought the right kotal though.

 

[iMileena]

Holy shit i didnt realize i replied to forever king xD omg it wasnt meant like that lmfao

 

[STB Shujinkydink]

Summoner vs wakeups. 10-0 mu

Fisticuffs/A-List.

Fisticuffs for insane chip damage (Jason has to block a lot in this MU)
A-List for "relentless" pressure.
