So with the advent of the BBR matchup chart, do we use their version to display on each character's page, or do we go with the character boards'? Imo, we should have an article for both on the Wiki, but for the matchups that appear on the character articles, we should go with the BBR's. Unlike what we have using the character boards', we would have a matchup for everyone, so we won't have "unknown matchups", and we won't have differing matchups on separate articles (this allows for consistency, and won't cause confusion to those who don't know where get the matchups from). While whether the BBR's simpler nine tier system is better than the number ratios is up to subjectivity, the two former reasons make the BBR's better to use. <span style="font-family:Edwardian Script ITC; font-size:12pt">[[User:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Omega</span>]] [[User talk:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Tyrant</span>]]</span> [[Image: TyranitarMS.png ]] 07:19, 1 March 2011 (EST)

:::The previous matchups were from a different source, in a different style. Some people may consider the matchups from the character boards to be more reliable. There are also several matchups that differ, such as the Wolf vs. Meta Knight matchup. Both the Wolf and Meta Knight boards considered it a 35:65 in Meta Knight's favor, with the Wolf boards saying its his worst matchup along with Dedede. But on the BBR chart, it's only considered a -1 for Wolf, with Dedede, Wario, and Pikachu being considered worse. With such matchup differences, it won't be a mere duplication of data, and some may consider it interesting to see what the character boards say the matchups are (such as myself). As long as we make it clear what the sources of the matchup boards are, I say keep the matchup chart from the character boards unless they forsake the matchup ratios they came up with in favor of the BBR's. <span style="font-family:Edwardian Script ITC; font-size:12pt">[[User:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Omega</span>]] [[User talk:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Tyrant</span>]]</span> [[Image: TyranitarMS.png ]] 20:49, 1 March 2011 (EST)
