To be honest this shouldn't even exist yet. Maybe another 6 months and things will look accurate. Uploading a chart that is not complete while full of disagreements between boards on ratios is a very bad thing to do. {{unsigned|121.45.126.206|14:42, 7 August 2009 (UTC)}}

:Each row is the opinion of that character's subforum on SmashBoards. The ZSS mains think their matchup with MK is 45:55, while the MK mains think it's 60:40. The Sonic mains think their matchup with Sheik is 40:60, while the Sheik mains haven't discussed it yet or aren't in agreement over a rating.

== Matchups ==
 
Why are some of the matchups on the chart different than the chart shown on the Smashboards forum [http://www.smashboards.com/threads/official-swf-matchup-chart-v2-0.316173/]? (For example, on this one Yoshi has a -1 against the ICs and a 0 against Olimar, but on the Smashboards one, he has a -1 against Olimar and a 0 against the ICs.) Also, why so some individual character matchups differ (for example, King Dedede's panel says that he has a -1 against Zelda/Sheik, but Zelda/Sheik's panel says that she has a 0 against Dedede)?

== Actual matchup chart ==
On the Smashboards article, there are some matchups that are different than the ones on the sheet here:
Diddy Kong/Wario is -1/+1 rather than 0/0,
Marth/Sonic is 0/0 rather than +1/-1, and
Samus/Zelda is +1/-1 rather than +2/-2.
Those were the 3 I found. If it is permissible, may I edit them (as well as any other possible differences) to reflect the actual Smashboards chart? Or are we using different sources besides Smashboards to develop the chart? I would love to know. Thanks!
