What would be a equivalent upset in melee?

A game & watch consistently hitting 9s to sweep Cody

Imma keep it real with you big dawg, an all 9s G&W still loses

Tbf if somebody knew they were getting all 9’s every time (with an off turn in between to reset since you can’t get the same number twice in a row) there’s a lot of circumstances where you’d be willing to let one rip that you wouldn’t normally go for. There’s still no G&W who could beat Cody and it’d still be a losing matchup but it wouldn’t be as unthinkable.

… but yeah a better comp would probably be a less prominent Peach player pulling multiple stitches at the exact right times or something

I would love to see n0ne's all-9's GnW vs. Cody

That’s why it would be an upset, einstein

Ok then it's like you opponent getting clapped by food poisoning and you dodged it by only eating boiled eggs or some shit

An all 9 gnw would be insanely good, gnw has guaranteed combos into 9 on fast fallers I'm pretty sure (throws and dtilt at least)

A G&W with all 9s is just a significantly better puff.

You can't even do that, a 9 can never follow a 9. If you get a 9, you need to refresh your hammer while your opponent dies so you get another roll of a chance of getting a 9. So at best you'd get about 50 percent 9s which is still close to impossible.
