Q&A Ambitions as a Plumber; A Mario FAQ

[M@1funk$hun]

I actually played with a guy who was fluent in German(might've been russian)

it was ****in hilarious

 

[a rookie]

Yeah, I've played against French people at Genesis and they kept saying stuff. I could feel the hate in their words T.T *awkward look*

 

[M@1funk$hun]

they always seem passive aggressive

like they'll never say anything to your face

**** french

Just in case you were serious : if it was a tournament set, the only French you played is me in doubles, and I was teaming with Tonberry who is Norwegian, not French. And even if I did speak French with another Frenchie who was here, you can be sure we didn't talk **** on your back, it's just not the way we act (at least, the 4 of us who were there, there are *******s everywhere and France is no exception ).

If it was in singles, then it must have been a Canadian from Québec, and I don't really know them, although they seemed pretty nice.

Also, fact : speaking a language your opponent doesn't understand is indeed really useful in team (especially when you understand their language )

Yes, it was you two xD Lol! But yeah, I was just really thrown off by you two speaking to each other. I wish I could speak fluent Japanese. Next time I'm teaming with someone and something unlucky happens to me, I'll yell out BAKENA! Haha. But yeah, I remember it like yesterday =D You guys beat us(Me and Pink Reaper) 2-1 in pools. I was the Fox, he was the Falcon. It's ok if you don't remember though. GG's<3

 

[M@1funk$hun]

Je parle un peu de français.

Je parle un beaucoup de francais. Etudie a un universite course

I didn't feel like doing the accents and such

That's a bit weird, because Tonberry is a native Norwegian speaker, and I'm as French as one can be (lame accent is definitely included in the package :mrgreen, and the only language both of us know is English, so bad accents apart, we should have been understandable.

And yeah, I remember both of you, even though I remember PR a bit more since we chat quite a bit. Also if you want, you may have a revenge against me if you attend Genesis 2 since I'll be there

And now for french 101 :

Je parle un peu de français.

Almost ! We just don't use any preposition like your "little bit of english".

Je parle un beaucoup de assez bien francais. Je l'ai étudié a pendant un cours à l'université course.

I didn't feel like doing the accents and such

Litterally : I speak fairly good French. I studied it during a class at the university.
Pretty much everything in your sentence was wrong and yet very understandable which is what really matters. Good job !

Also, to try to stay a bit on topic (I'm supposed to behave like a mod after all ) :
Mario's popularity suddenly increased in France. I assume it's the influence of Scorpion Master, but some people have been using him not as a main, but as a serious freeplay character with which they want to progress.

 

[StealthyGunnar]

mario is gonna be the next char every1 is gonna use.

 

[M@1funk$hun]

lol thank you for that because I have a test tomorrow that I do need to study for and that helped a little

is there possibly a channel we could subscribe to for friendlies and such to see these marios?

I'd love to see new takes on the plumber

 

[n0ne]

Has anyone checked out Project M yet.?
Came out yesterday. well, its an official demo lol. but Marios in it.
Check it out ppl. its nice.

 

[a rookie]

Project M < Melee

 

[ChivalRuse]

^ this this this this this (take it from someone who's played P:M and finds it to just be a watered down version of Melee; lol)

[ChivalRuse]

Mario is one of the funnest characters to not main.

 

[condemned_soul]

im going to SMYM12 on the 5th of March....you guys should try and make it as well

 

[ChivalRuse]

I'm going to Pound 5 on the fifth of Pound. Everyone is going, I hear.

[a rookie]

... I said nice, not better.

Im just trying out some weird stuff with mario, hes kind of a mix of doc+ plumber,

Bair is Doc`s
Fair is sometimes plumber`s, sometimes Docs.

Has some really crazy combos too

they made his fair a hitbox thing? srsly?

that's mad difficult to space then >.>

 

[condemned_soul]

fairs have to be my favorite move to start combos with

 

[StealthyGunnar]

same condemned: fair>dthrow>utilt>uair blind. or near edge fair>fthrow>bair spam

 

[ChivalRuse]

Or simply fair -> u-tilt -> uair blind.

U-tilt comes out in 4 frames. Grab is in 7. So technically, u-tilt is easier to combo from fair ...

 

[A2ZOMG]

U-tilt gets CCed by people who actually know the matchup. Always D-smash or grab after F-air.

I don't like Project M...from an execution standpoint.

There's so many minor mechanic changes that affect timing and execution. Doing Mario's B-air -> waveland seems a lot more tricky for instance. Plus you can't fullhop waveland on DL64s platforms.

imo Project M isn't a good transition from Melee. I feel it's actually better if you originally never played Melee competitively.

Balancewise though seems solid, but Link still seems to suck lol.

 

[ChivalRuse]

If you think people will CC the u-tilt, you can just do another fair -> whatever or up-smash to break their CC, then jab reset -> whatever. Lol.

 

[j3ly]

that.

but grab regardless if you can

 

[A2ZOMG]

If you think people will CC the u-tilt, you can just do another fair -> whatever or up-smash to break their CC, then jab reset -> whatever. Lol.

Loses to CC input + Shield, which if done right can autotech, which you do not want against someone you just U-smashed. D-smash does more damage and is safe on hit.

Grabbing also > all that. Given that you can actually force a missed tech after grab.

U-tilt after F-air is only good once the F-air starts lifting them from the ground, but in those situations, D-smash is still usually better, or sometimes F-smash as well.

 

[ChivalRuse]

Fair -> u-tilt at lowish percents definitely has utility I would say, especially if you notice people aren't CCing. On floaties, u-tilt is quite handy at those low-mid percents.

 

[StealthyGunnar]

ftilt has epic viability.

 

[condemned_soul]

atlow percent i like to Fair>Upsmash since it doesnt send then out of your attack range

 

[M@1funk$hun]

I like to shffl fair -> uair -> uair

just because it looks like SCOOOOOOPZ

I love rising uairs

 

[A2ZOMG]

Fair -> u-tilt at lowish percents definitely has utility I would say, especially if you notice people aren't CCing. On floaties, u-tilt is quite handy at those low-mid percents.

Except you can almost always simply D-throw -> U-tilt for essentially the same damage and better reliability than U-tiltx2. Against Luigi and Samus in particular, you don't want to try anything fancy, especially if it gets you into a trade situation with them.

 

[StealthyGunnar]

utilt rocks. nuff said. i gotta get playing some more!

 

[A2ZOMG]

Anti-air U-tilts in specific are really good, or U-tilting when you read that someone wants to jump out of shield after you pressure them. U-tilts like those often require a read, but the reward for pulling one off is usually worth it.

 

[StealthyGunnar]

and it can set up nicely for a grab (utilt>shield>enemy will prob do some aerial>shield grab) if u think u cant uair blind out of it. (if they r too low %)

 

[j3ly]

i love to space a shield with utilt and fsmash the missed grab

 

[M@1funk$hun]

So scream-chasing didn't work

but shield pressure scream did work

(they are in their shield and you just sit outside of it/ dash dance outside of it and scream in their face)
