Cloud vs. Duck Hunt Super Smash Bros. 4 tiers, match-up votes and discussion

This match up, though apparently proven otherwise by the tournaments of late, is notoriously impossible for Hunt. Cloud simply has better data and reach than Hunt, and it takes entirely too much extra work to not be killed when Cloud is around. With Cloud having excellent reach, he can hit a can you are trying to launch at him away, or even worse just dtilt under it. His Blade Beam also causes the clay pigeon to fly up, and be rendered threat-less. While Hunt's throw game is better than Cloud's, plus his reach is greater than Cloud's in grabs, a match between the two will almost guaranteed come down to if Hunt can force Cloud to take a can, and then a pigeon on top of it. If he does, more than likely the match will tilt back into his favor, otherwise Cloud's reach will inevitably cause problems.

I do not understand what makes this matchup even.
