YES! I feel there's so many differences between doc and mario that are not documented anywhere. Like things such as doc's triple jab cycle being slower. If there is information like this anywhere, I haven't been able to find it yet.Turns out mario's up and down throws are slightly weaker than doc's, meaning his chaingrabs last longer. I'll make a table like the magus doc one for you guys real soon
I had been considering making a video of these differences (and one for YL and Link)Yeah. I just never played doc until recently lol. It would just be nice to have all the subtle differences all in one place.
I think it is sad you don't see Mario very often in tournament. I mean, to anybody whose watched Mario greats like Mang0 (may not be a mario main, but he plays a damn good mario) or the few matches Brown Mario has online, or the modern mario greats such as a rookie, you'd know he has potential. I have been playing the character for quite a while now and he is so much fun to play as. His movement just feels so fluent, and it's fairly easy to rack up combos with the character, his only down fall (and the only one that prohibits him from being 'tournament viable') is his lack of KO power. Having played the character for so long, I normally don't KO my opponent until I have them at 100% damage. But still, despite his flaws, he's my favorite character in the game, and he's going to be my main from here on end.Ah, Mario. The first character I picked up in the first Smash game I played. If I ever go to a Melee tournament, I will choose Mario. After all, I grew up with his franchise and don't see him a lot in Melee tournaments
Pretty vague question, but I like to pick Yoshi's and practice wavedash, ledge dashes, wavelands, autocancels, shield drops etc. I also turn game music off and SFX on max so I can hear when I'm fast falling.What is the best way to practice movement with Mario?
Thanks dood! Also should I be dash dancing with Mario or just jumping around? Right now I just kind of go back and forth without much thought, and I KNOW you're supposed to vary lengths of dashes to confuse your opponent but I don't know how useful it is with MarioPretty vague question, but I like to pick Yoshi's and practice wavedash, ledge dashes, wavelands, autocancels, shield drops etc. I also turn game music off and SFX on max so I can hear when I'm fast falling.
Mario's most universal movement option for all his match ups is wavedash. Try to get max distance on your WD's in practice. Of course you also have to combine wavedash with dash dancing, just like with every character, but in mario's case he relies more on wavedash. Try to practice max distance dash dances as well. You have to mess around with it to get a feel how of long his dash dance range is. Practice wd oos as well, very important tool for mario.Thanks dood!

That's really good that you have character loyalty. and I will always love bowser no matter how much I lose, but the problem is his under representation in the current meta, some top players have a pocket mario, but the best mario doesn't have a really good showing at majors.I think it is sad you don't see Mario very often in tournament.
