Social Mario Hotel - Super Social 4

[Knight Dude]

Hey why does Mario not have a stomping technique like Bowser, Dedede, Yoshi, etc..? It is his original attack and it his how he dispose most enemies and much more than jumping up into them (like his up special).

I think that Bowser had a ground pound first. In Super Mario 3 to be exact. And Yoshi first got his in Yoshi's Island. Mario started to use one in Mario 64, which was a few years later. But I think Mario used one the most. Then again, Ground Pounds are sort of common in platformers.

Thought it is an iconic attack that he could use none the less. But the question is whether or not he'll have any moves to replace to make room. Can't be FLUDD, we know that he's keeping that as of now. And if it gets swapped, it could get replaced with something from Mario Galaxy, like the Spin attack.

If you are talking about regular jumping on stuff, that might be a little hard to pull off in a fighting game. Hence why Mario has the Super Jump Punch, it's a means to represent his main ability in his games.

 

[Gallowglass]

I was referring to where he jumps on objects. Its almost backwards to his Super Jump Punch. Now its kinda pointless to add something like that since its being used by so many characters.

The fireballs... They're so HD!

Here's a gif of Mario's neutral combo. I think I'll make more once I have the chance.

I think the ground-pound would have been a solid down b attack. Offensively speaking of course.

But seriously, down b should have been the hover nozzle. It could have even functioned like the regular fludd, but pushing enemies down, sort of like an inverted game and watch up air. That would have made Mario pretty deadly. Recovery and edge guard options problem solved.

 

[MelchizedekVD]

I just wish they would give Mario a hammer.

Yeah, I get that quite a few guys have one (Dedede, Kirby, Ice Climbers), but to me the hammer is one of the stables of Mario and Luigi. I mean the black one from Mario and Luigi games in particular. Any Mario RPG fans agree? I'm sure it could work itself in well.

Now if only they would remove FLUDD.

 

[MelchizedekVD]

Nintendo, please

Hear me out!

I fully support this idea. It's pretty much his main weapon in two popular spin-off series (aside from power-ups and jumping) - the only time he has ever actually used punches in a main game is in Mario 64 as far as I am aware.

Unfortunately, it seems pretty unlikely that the hammer would get incorporated since Sakurai hasn't shown much interest in changing up the veterans' movesets so far. But who knows, we still have quite a bit of time before release.

Definitely agree here. Both are characteristics of Mario that can easily blend in well with the fighting nature of the game. And like the hammer, it's more memorable and purposeful than a lot of his current set.

Hey, Mario fans! I'm working on a project that you might have heard of called Project: Thank You Sakurai! (If you haven't heard of it, you should check it out.) and I'm currently doing a poll to determine which characters should be on the virtual card that we're making for him. I would appreciate it if you guys would check it out here and vote for who you like. The characters from the Mario universe that are on the poll include any that were in Brawl previously or which are newcomers to Smash 4. The locks for the (extended) Mario universe so far are Mario, Luigi, Donkey Kong, and Yoshi. Peach, Bowser, Diddy Kong, Wario, and Rosalina all need some more support before they can break into the area of "locks". I would be really, really grateful if you'd take a little time out of your day to do this short poll. Thanks ahead of time!

Mario's looking good in Smash 4. I like it. Hopefully we can get something similar to his Project M incarnation.

Hopefully not quite as amazing as PM Mario, but I agree.

 

[Jackson]

Yeah, I guess you're right
I'd like to see Dr. Mario as a separate character anyway, but I think Sakurai said somewhere that he's cutting down on clones (good thing overall).

I'm definitely hoping for a Dr. Mario costume at least. If Little Mac got wireframe, then Mario deserves Doc.

 

[Jackson]

Agreed. Hopefully Wireframe Mac is an indication that we're getting more unique and outlandish costumes this time around.

Also: 400th post yay

 

[DavemanCozy]

Mario and Luigi seem kind of underwhelming compared to the rest of the characters that are getting buffs. I know we won't know anything concrete until we give the game a try, but right now it seems like Mario Bros are underwhelming

Agreed. We haven't seen a crazy buff to their moveset like some others.

 

[Pacack]

In a hypothetical situation where Mario gets a tether, what would it be?

 

[Dairz]

Moustache tether, obviously. Those things can stretch.

 

[Jackson]

lol, thatd be funny. Makes more sense for Luigi though because it was him stretching it in dream team.

 

[Dairz]

Maybe it runs in the family?

 

[Hat N' Clogs]

Sounds legit to me!

I can't see an image gallery thread so I'll post the following here. Mario seemingly has two frames before he can execute an input. Mario's frame window was 3 frames, 4 frames and 5 frames in SSB, SSBM and SSBB respectively.

Spoiler: Mario's forward jump WiiU 15:29:35

Spoiler: Mario's forward jump 3DS 04:39:54

Spoiler: Mario's backward jump 3DS 33:24:32

My frame analysis was wrong. I checked the fps for the video on 4 separate programs and it's 29.97 on every one except the video editor I was using which said 60 fps. Youtube doesn't even support 60 fps yet apparently. This means for example, the 2nd picture is actually 2 frames after the second instead of 1. Sorry for wasting your time and anyone else's.

I am considering the notion of maining Mario in Smash 4. I have never been entirely interested in his character, but move-set customization might be his saving grace. The giant fireball and dragon fist have me really interested. I am going to give him a shot in Smash 4.

He's actually very fun to use due to his diversity and freedom. My favorite main character in a fighting game.

it sucks that costom move sets won't be in for glory or for fun. but its understandable that dragon fist was ******** strong looking Xd.

Some poor sap posted this on Gamefaqs getting all excited how you can grab in the air (before being harshly brought back to reality) but still, it shows Mario's pivot grab range. Guys pulling a DDD here

 

[Bedoop]

Look at the height that Mario's Custom Up-B (which I nicknamed the Comet Jump Punch) gets during the Custom Movesets part of the SSB4 Direct. Why can't that be his normal Up-B. That would be so amazing. But make him a bit OP.

 

[The Shadow]

Could there be a change to fluud where it changes into Mario Tornado?

Holy **** O.O!

Thats like Link range pivot there.

 

[Ultinarok]

I'm really surprised no one has pointed out how good Mario seems to be. His moves are unchanged, but it seems that water-based attacks have been buffed to stun (like Piplup did in Brawl), as shown by Pac-Man's hydrant, which might apply to FLUDD too. Mario seems faster, stronger, seems to have better range, and he combos like mad. Perhaps he'll be back to his Melee/64 glory days.

Hoping so. He wasn't good at all in Brawl. His fireballs seem better too. Do they do more damage?

I can't tell, but they move faster, and a bit farther too it seems. Plus it looks like he can shoot them quicker.

 

[Donalp15]

Any word on the Final Smash?

 

[asia_catdog_blue]

I just realized that Red M STILL has those terrible Brawl Vocal Bytes. He should sound more lively that this!

 

[PokéMurio]

Aaaaand old Mario Finale confirmed on Treehouse...

 

[Knight Dude]

Here's the recorded version of the Roundtable. We get to see what variations of Mario's Special Moves are. Like the fast Fireball, Fire Uppercut, and Scalding F.L.U.D.D. This customization reminds me of what we just saw with Mortal Kombat X. Where's 3 different versions of each fighter. Since each option is very specific, I wonder if tournaments will allows these options.

 

[MP8]

Wow, I had no idea that they were going to have the customization move sets for the main characters as well. That is really going to lengthen the potential and possibilities in this game. Looking good so far.

 

[Dark_Wolf]

What I think they should do to my main Mario: If the fludd is coming back for sure and it probably is because there's footage of Mario using it in ssb4, in my opinion at LEAST give the character your facing some damage like 4-7% and make have a good knock back or push. I want to see all of Mario moves used as a utility and potential in this game because in brawl, I used every move in his move set a lot, and rarely used his fludd (used it for fun). So if fludd is coming back 100% then please make it completely more useful because I hate when a move is not used at all, or even used rarely. If they want to put back his normal b-down spin attack and Dair, drill move, I wouldn't be happier because his spin attack was good for recovery and his drill for combos.
