Cape Induced Landing Lag - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TGibIxApgd8

I also have a favor to ask. Would someone be willing to send me replays of them performing the "Downward Cape Glide" and "Cape Dash?" They don't have to be in-match, just examples.

I would do it myself, but so far I can't pull them off.

Wow really cool

Cape Glide - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GlWDM_xdk1I


I'll be doing Cape Dashing next.

@Vato_break: If you say that Cape Dashing is somewhat easy to you, then would you mind making me a replay? I still can't do it consistantly.

 

[MorphedChaos]

Question, do you guys know of the trick where you can edgehog with Mario, cape away from the edge, and if you do it right you will auto-grab the ledge when the cape is done? It seems like an excellent way to gimp a lot of recoveries and forces people to recover onto the stage.

Answer, Yep.

Edit: Also cleaned up OP and added a quick banner.

 

[MorphedChaos]

Nice fire, boy, its going to take awhile before I can think of something that'll help Mario out, eh?

 

[Fire!]

 

[Famous]

NICE...

Probably the best gimp ever discovered...

 

[JUDGE]

AGAIN: this is ****ing amazing man!!!!
have to be very hard to perform huh??

 

[Fire!]

Anyone still wanna give me a replay of someone Cape Dashing?

Anyone?

 

[DtJ XeroXen]

You mean the thing where you dash and then do a reverse cape? If so, I can get a replay of that right now.

 

[Fire!]

Awesome!

And thank you!

 

[Fire!]

Nevermind

[:mad:]

Great new video, man.

 

[Matt07]

Nice, cool video :D.

 

[bobson]

Doesn't it only work on fall-through-able surfaces?

 

[Fire!]

I was able to pull it off on FD but I wasn't recording. I think its just a lot more easier to pull it off on fall-through-able surfaces.

Finally, its starting to look more like and Interactive Guide rather then a bunch of videos.


Edit: Also, the Cape Jump is pretty much a Cape with the upward momentum of the jump right? I use it all the time, but I never knew it was the Cape Jump, lol.

 

[Matt07]

Wow that is friggen awesome.

 

[Khanartist]

When you're hanging on a ledge you can cape away from the edge then return really fast. Idk if its actually useful, buy it helps me edgeguard sometimes.

 

[Fire!]

Meh, I might just skip the Cape Jump for later.

[Ray/Boshi]

I'm impressed with this compilation. Keep it up dude, this right here is nice. And it's getting better.

 

[bobson]

I was hoping it would continue zooming out to reveal a Metaknight in fallspecial after getting caped.

 

[stealth3654]

Hey FireMario, I just wanted to point out that you don't have a link to fludd KO's on the first post.

I just thought I would let you know.

 

[SkylerOcon]

This really needs to become the global standard for character guides. Sure, in-depth text descriptions on applications of things into a match help, but visual help always has a much larger impact.

This whole video guide is great man.

 

[Matt07]

Firemario that is amazing, everything you've done is wonderful. You've come a long way since you first had interest in doing this, that's for sure.

 

[condemned_soul]

wow if i become a huge success at smash, I guarantee you that i will mention this thread. Spectacular work dude keep up the good work

 

[SkylerOcon]

I'm going to add the main menu video into the OP, using mod powers. I don't know if this will stay when you update the OP, so if it doesn't, just VM me and I'll add it again.

Edit: Aw... it doesn't work because you made the OP. Oh well.

 

[Fire!]

Thanks a lot guys! Pretty much the video description should explain why I'm late this video.

Cape Stall - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JuOGSi-NruI

"OK, so first, I want to say that I'm sorry that I haven't uploaded a video in a while. Sadly, I'm on dial-up speed so I can't upload videos right when I finish them. I've also been working on my next combo video, which should come out sometime next week. But don't fret, I've got a ton of new ideas for the guide and I'll still be uploading new videos every week!"

I'm planning to do Wall-kicking next. Do you guys know anything I could touch on? All I know is being able to Bair on the stage and wall-kicking to spike. SOMEONE HELP ME THIS TIME!

 

[SkylerOcon]

Eh, wallkicking is just useful for messing around with. Such as, you could ledge drop, second jump, wallkick, bair when you're on the ledge. You could also just wallkick back up from the gap in Yoshi Island Melee.

Wallkicking should only be used once in a while, to surprise the opponent. Don't even expect to make good use of it once in a set.

 

[Mario_ 101]

Walljumps can be used as a mixup to help get back on stage. The more options you know to use the harder it is for the foe to figure out what's going to happen next.

 

[stealth3654]

What Mario 101 said. You can use wall jumping on Yoshi's Island (Brawl) to get back on the stage and maybe bair your opponent. You can also wall jump on the right side of the first part of Frigate, so you don't have to use your up B to get back on the stage when the platform is too high.

I'm looking forward to that combo video .

 

[Fire!]

Yup. Well thar it is.

 

[DJayS]

hey firemario i'm a little confuzzled about the cape dash >.<
like right after you bust out the cape at the edge are you suppose to tap the opposite direction or something?

Jab Locks - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yvGHOyS9WZY


I'm gonna need to start discussion here, now that I'm getting to the more advanced stuff. I'll be pulling the quotes from here.


Gonna do "OOS Options" next so if anyone can give me some knowledge/input that would be great!!!

 

[DJayS]

Yep.

...YEP!?
haha okai XD
thx

 

[condemned_soul]

I have actually done the jab lock combo before. The real reason i got it off is because once i hit 80%, they try to do are smash attacks til I die so i just camp and mindgame it up

 

[HeroMystic]

Up-B is your best OOS option due to the first three frames of invincibility. U-Smash and N-air are good OOS options too.

One of the best OOS tactics however, is a stutter-stepped F-Smash against a Laggy move. Best scenario is Ike using his F-Smash while your back is turned. Shield/PS it, then use F-Smash. The best part about stutter-step F-Smash is that it COMPLETELY cancels Mario's traction when being pushed back from a shielded hit.

 

[stealth3654]

I'm planning to do Wall-kicking next. Do you guys know anything I could touch on?

I don't know if you are still doing this and I don't know if this is already known, but I did something kinda cool during friendlies. While I was hanging off the ledge of FD, I would ledge drop then wall jump off of the ledge and attempt to spike someone. I'm pretty sure that this can be done on BF and Smashville, too.

Yea I like doing that on brawl as well. The only thing about mine is I spike and jump off the wall 3 times before i recover. Its fun and you rarely see Marios do it
