I can tell you this match in 4 words. Jab Jab Jab and Jab. Palutenas Jab (single jab or combo jab) Has a rather far hitbox away from Palutena, making approaches from non ranged characters (especially Mac) hard to even touch Palutena. I personally am a Little Mac main. I have a good friend that mains Palutena. Whenever we play online I get completely bodied and makes me feel like Bowsers poop.
I'd probably say this is Palutena's most favored match up in the entire game. Little Mac will literally be stopped by Palutena's jab attacks, both start up and continuing. Mac only has 3 viable options against this, Side Smash for super armor and spacing, Haymaker (if time correctly), and counter. Otherwise Palutena dominates the majority of the match up by one simple move, making little mac's approaches nearly impossible without error or amazing spacing. Thankfully Little Mac is still quite powerful, and when he can combo Palutena he can send her flying.
