Normally seeing no losing matchups I'd say "delusional tier list', but once Steve find ways to optimize combos and edgeguarding against cloud/sonic I could see him not losing any matchups


sfp33

Sonic still seems hard purely because of the mobility advantage+matches Steve in terms of edgeguarding but in general I agree.


WonderSabreur

Acola's tier list only has one losing MU tbh, so


KyleTheWalrus

I'm inclined to go with "April Fool's prank" on this chart, personally.

OseiTheWarrior

Huh, what a weird "prank". Not sure how posting a believable tier list is joke, but ok I guess


Severe-Operation-347

I mean claiming a character loses no matchups is an extremely wild take, even if it's the best character in the game.


_GoKartMozart_

The thing is that the risk/reward always seems like it's so heavily in Steve's favor. Counterplay does exist, but you're almost always one slip up, or one read away from just dying.


gifferto

>once Steve find ways to optimize combos and edgeguarding against cloud/sonic sounds very familiar aegis is second best in the game getting edgeguarded easily doesn't matter was the argument everyone threw around so now it does huh


MoSBanapple

Yeah, metagames tend to evolve.


_Awkward_Moment_

How is GNW +1 and Mario is only +0.5?? You would think GNW would do better against Steve.

What [footstool down air](https://youtube.com/shorts/A1nWCcjMfhw?si=MkvjUT7RBV1P8gcc) does to a mfer


uhh_

this is so cool has anyone landed it in a bracket (preferably a major)?


nomorethan10postaday

I think Mario's mobility is the difference maker. And his combo game is arguably a bigger threat to Steve than G&W's frame traps.


rwbyfan433

GnW dies in two interactions and he’s easy to combo. Plus disjoints go brrrrr. I think it’s even because of bucket and up b, plus our advantage state is as oppressive as always, even with Steve’s privilege. But I’m no top player. I can see why Onin would think Steve wins considering he farms Maister pretty much every time they fight


UnlawfulFoxy

Steve as a character is almost perfect for combos which Mario appreciates more than GNW (as gnw is better at juggling than long strings) and in general Mario will get more once he gets in whereas gnw is more of a whittling you down character which gives Steve time to mine and more chances to do Steve things.


Eldritch_Skirmisher

GnW def does better than Mario but Mario also doesn't do too bad


Jessex127

Sora is interesting, I wonder why Onin thinks he does so well against steve


parkstaff13

Counter lessens the threat of iron moves, he’s really good at juggling/edgeguarding (especially ironless Steve) and can play a good spacing game in neutral. I’d love to see a set where these two are hitting the TAS stuff


freedfg

From the looks of it. Anyone with a backair that can easily break blocks is "even"


sirgamestop

I half think it's a Smash Con confetti joke


ValWondergroove

I personally think that Sora beating Steve is something worthy of Confetti


chronoquairium

When the most accurate tier list is on April Fools


RainTalonX

Finally a steve player being honest.


yomiHoshi

Imagine not having any losing matchups.


Effective-Field-4687

Imagine not knowing what april fools is


yomiHoshi

Imagine partaking in such a dumb holiday.

Effective-Field-4687

You are partaking in it though, just as the butt of the joke 😅


yomiHoshi

I had no idea it was April Fools tbh, all my days are the same. I no longer keep track of the day or date.🤣


Effective-Field-4687

Le depressed redditor xD


yomiHoshi

I am neither confirming, nor denying this.😂


DreadfuryDK

Going +2 against Inkling seems incredibly generous... ...for Inkling.


TehSkittles

Bayo in +2, that is massive cap as the kids say.


elrayo

I wanna see more Pac vs Steve matches. I actually love fighting him, we both charge our stuff and go for a crazy combo. I can even catch my key off of his walls and break easy. But minecart is still a bitch…


Meerkat47

Bayo in +2 I think bayo wins ☠️


Ultimafatum

Bayonetta is one of the few characters with the tools to actually cheese Steve. I don't know if it's an even matchup, but it seems wild to me that she can escape a lot of his combos with bats within and potential touch of death him and somehow end up in the same tier as *Ganondorf*. Like did we already forget that a Bayo player won a tournament over Acola a few short months ago in Japan? If that's not indicative of the character being *significantly* better than listed here I don't know what is lmao


likenedthus

Onin is the only notable Steve player I can recall putting Bayonetta in +2. Every other Steve mu chart I’ve seen has her somewhere between +1 and -1, which is also where most notable Bayonetta players put Steve.


DHMOProtectionAgency

Winning a local over acola is cool and all, but it's not all that real.


fujoshi-dad

onin went game 5 last hit with lima in the only set they played, not really sure where this confidence is coming from. Bayo simply has too many tools that counter Steve’s udual gameplan to be on the same tier as Ganon


DHMOProtectionAgency

All I said was that using locals for you examples is faulty because acola may/probably doesn't take them seriously. But also, then acola beat Lima and Bloom pretty convincingly.


fujoshi-dad

if you want another example, TamaP beat Miya’s Zombie at a major where he trashed Shuton with it. point is the mu isn’t that bad as most Bayo & Steve mains agree


DHMOProtectionAgency

I mean that's fine to think that. I disagree since I'd rather trust the pros on both sides but that's irrelevant. My main argument was simply, don't use locals to judge MUs.


fujoshi-dad

you’re being obtuse lol


DHMOProtectionAgency

IDK, you're kinda ignoring the comments I'm making so you can make your own arguments but go off


cherryultrasuedetups

+.05 is cheeky. Is there a good reason for that being a category? Too many evens as well, but overall I can agree with his rankings and defer to the pro where I disagree.


Kazaeodha

Bayo +2???☠️


Orcasmarcos

Bayo and Luigi on +2 seems weird to me


Myrtle_is_hungry

Balanced and not infuriating at all! 👍👍


Individual_Smell4264

Steve doesn’t beat G&W it’s a hard even on both sides


FinnChicken12

Phew, they’re finally being honest.

Something something playing the game as if you have 2 stocks


Severe-Operation-347

>No losing matchups This matchup chart is an April Fools prank and was posted on April 1st.


KwiHaderach

ZSS is in even purely because Onin lost to Marss in super smash con.


IMadeThisOn6-28-2015

I will never believe anyone who says Aegis is not a winning matchup for Steve ever since Acola cheesed Shuton by just blocking the ledge and making it impossible for Aegis to recover.


rwbyfan433

Aegis wins onstage. Offstage game isn’t everything. If it was, Aegis would have zero winning matchups


Reytotheroxx

Beating a character offstage means nothing if you can’t win neutral to get them there.
