    Meta Secrets of the Umbra: Bayonetta Metagame Discussion

    Ok so not sure if anyone has noticed this, but I found something interesting in the Bayonetta ditto. If you use witch time on any of her bullet arts, the Witch Time will activate even from half a stage away. I'm guessing that the bullet arts count more as an extended physical hitbox than a...

    Q&A How to Jump - Mario "Help Me" Q&A Thread

    I'm pretty sure the correct way is to DI down and shield, but you're probably better off trying to jump out. The knockback on uptilt should only give Mario 2-3 tops before you can jump out, unless you're a fast falling character.

    World 8 - The Mario Match-Up Index [8-2: Luigi, Doc]

    I don't have any issue racking up damage once I'm in. My problem is landing the kill move and getting past his range.

    World 8 - The Mario Match-Up Index [8-2: Luigi, Doc]

    Any tips against a really good DK, especially one that is very good at powershielding fireballs?

    Q&A How to Jump - Mario "Help Me" Q&A Thread

    Does anyone know the timing to get a stage spike off of dash attack when someone is recovering and about to sweetspot the ledge? I've done it accidentally a few times, but I can't land it consistently.

    Guide A Link Between Duels : SSB4 Zelda Matchup Thread: [Upd2] Diddy Kong

    DI up and away from Sheik to avoid the foward air combos. Also, try to avoid platforms at all costs, because they give Sheik more followups. I always ban Battlefield and Lylat (Sheik's best stage IMO). Aggresive Sheik players are easier to read, and make the matchup manageable. Passive Sheiks...

    Guide A Link Between Duels : SSB4 Zelda Matchup Thread: [Upd2] Diddy Kong

    Anyone have any Fox experience? I think the matchup is even because Zelda destroys him off stage but he can use his speed to punish us on stage. Any thoughts?

    Q&A "What if Zelda was a girl?" : Zelda Q&A COME HERE FIRST WITH YOUR ZELDA QUESTIONS.

    Thank you for the response. That makes me sad, though. The increased damage on lightning kicks would have made that amazing.

    Q&A "What if Zelda was a girl?" : Zelda Q&A COME HERE FIRST WITH YOUR ZELDA QUESTIONS.

    Hello, Zelda mains. I am a Mario main, but I play Zelda as a strong secondary. My question is, what are Zelda's options from a grab release on Wario?

    What are some good stage bans/counterpicks against Yoshi?

    Got rocked by Sheik in tournament. Any tips for this matchup?

    Old-School Opponents ~ Game and Watches Match Up Thread

    I haven't really played against any Game and Watch players in this version of the game (quite a few in Brawl, though). I'll just give a few notes. Mario will most likely be saving upsmash for the kill. It kills G&W really due to his weight. Down throw to up b is a true combo at low percents...

    Can anyone explain how Ally won?

    I honestly feel that Mario is top 15, maybe top 10. I feel like he can contend with most characters in this game when played correctly. I was personally inspired by Ally's play in those sets and plan on using it as a mark for where I would eventually like to be.

    World 8 - The Mario Match-Up Index [8-2: Luigi, Doc]

    The key to the ROB matchup is getting in his face and staying there. He's susceptible to juggles since his nair and dair both have long startup. His other aerials don't hit below him. Cape his projectiles and watch out for his side b(it has a longer lasting hitbox this time around)

    World 8 - 2: Mario vs Diddy Kong Match-Up Thread

    If I remember correctly, Ally used Mario in a set against M2k's Diddy and he barely used any fireballs.
