So I saw this in another thread and it got me wondering what everyone else thinks. If you had the option to completely re-write your characters match-up chart into either of the above's whose would you pick? Obviously in an ideal world we would all pick Martian's but the debate is this- Would you rather have a more even match-up chart like WoWo's/Batman's or a more bi-polar one like Sinestro's?
Sinestro dominates certain characters meaning that you generally wouldn't have to worry about running into a lex or a Catwoman etc in tournament (provided you know the basics of the match-up) and would do well against top tiers like Zod and Bane but the pay off is that you would then struggle heavily against some very popular tournament characters like batman, DD, and Aquaman.
Wonder Woman on the other hand goes even against most characters, beats some important ones like DD but still loses badly to Aquaman. The main advantage being that you have fewer death match-ups in return for having to actually know more match-ups in depth.
Discuss TYM!

Wonder Woman. The thing about Sinestro is he dominates more MUs than gets dominated in, but the MUs he dominates are rarely ever used in tournament play. The MUs he gets dominated in are always in tournaments.

Bane.
Just dominate everyone who doesn't know how to fight you, can't fight you, or isn't as stupid and runs on as much green bullshit as you do.
And then sometimes have a 4-6.

Who is "dominating" Sinestro? I'll accept Aquaman. Let's not pretend this character is getting 3-7 left and right. He doesn't have a polarizing matchup chart. He has a top tier matchup chart.
I'm no Sinestro player but this is what I've heard from Wound and Hysteria: AM, Martian, BM, DD

WoWo. Personally I like having to outplay the opponent, it shows who really knows the MU better. Having some MU's where I just passively dominate by throwing shit out, and other's where I have to work twice as hard AND make correct guesses just isn't as much fun IMO.
 
This reminds if me of GL and Adam. He gets domminated in some matchups but some of those character are rarley played where Adam goes even or has many 4-6 matchups. I would prefer GL over Adam in tournament because lbsh no one uses cyborg or zatanna. Same thing here, Sinestro all the way.


And yes i needed to make this about downnplaying my characters.

Depends what kind of format we're using here.

If double elimination winner / loser bracket , i'd rather have dominant ( with some BAD matchups ) matchups.

If round robin i'd choose more evenly distributed matchups character.

I'll take a loopy MU chart over a 5-5 across the board any day of the week.

I don't have a need for a bunch of even MU's. I'll take the advantages given in a 6-4 and 7-3, but I also have enough confidence in my ability to beat people on or slightly above my level in 4-6 and 3-7 MU's.

Against everyone except Bane that is.

As i've said, i'll take having to outplay somebody in a 5-5 match as opposed to LITERALLY having no chance against Aquaman. Also, Sinestro dominates characters that are almost never seen in tournament. He bodies Cyborg, Lex, and Nightwing. Let's throw a party over characters that NOBODY uses.

I've heard of Catwoman prowling around a tournament bracket or two.

Freddy has no chance against Smoke and Zod loses convincingly to Martian Manhunter, yet both characters are perfectly tournament viable in everybody's opinion.
