Q&A Ambitions as a Plumber; A Mario FAQ

[linkmastersword]

hmmm, what about ledge hop waveland grab,

or LH WL fsmash for that matter?

 

[Matador]

You could try that, but you have to be accurate. If you miss, you're done. If you hit, congrats.

 

[Eggz]

Those are good too, but the usmash will actually kill her though. xD

You could also just ledge hop bair her and rack up her percent until she either dies and you can kill her.

I recently was in a tournament against a Samus (I was playing Mario of course) and I was thinking of counter picking Flat Zone. Wouldn't this be a good stage for counter picking her because of the low percentage kills?

uhhhhh >_> @ mikezor

Flat Zone is thE $Ux0r$.

NEVER play on Flat Zone. It is the second crappiest stage behind Icicle Mountain.

 

[Matador]

The low percentage kills go both ways. Just never...ever pick that stage.

um...
.....

Yeah what Gimpyfish said.. although...

I'd like to know what kinda tournament you were at that allowed you to even consider playing on Flat Zone...

 

[Red Exodus]

That's kinda funny, but sadly any tournaments here would be the same >.<

Here's how it'd look:
Either they'd allow all stages and put it to random or play FD only.
No banned moves [freeze glitch anyone?]
Possibly FFA
And no johns, so if some idiot crosses the screen [even though there isn't much space there!!!] you can't say anything, and people will probably pause, which is teh suck.

 

[Goop]

About the down-b. Is there a rhythm to doing the down-b with Mario. I saw that on the 1/4 speed I can get full distance from just pressing the b button about 7- 8 times.

This made me wonder if there is a certain rhythm to doing the tornado for full distance.

Your thoughts?

 

[brianmercury]

what is a good approach, i have trouble with sheildgrabbing, i can space the bair to avoid it against some but the neutral and down air are problems. Also what throws are good to combo from in general? I'm completely new to mario.

 

[mario-man]

@ Goop

I had that thought a few times..................

I'm still not too sure that it's a legitimate idea......................

@ brianmercury

Either u-throw or d-throw.
I don't know of anyone that can combo after b-throw or f-throw. Lol

A few good ideas are: U-throw, u-tilt, u-tilt(maybe), shffl u-air, shffl u-air(maybe), if not that then f-smash or d-smash. Also, d-throw to d-smash. There are plenty more ways, but I couldn't name them all if I tried.

NOTE: These are always purely situational, and should be used when it seems right, and should be mixed up to avoid predictability.

 

[-PM-]

i can combo off f-throw well sometimes it depends like bowser you can combo of f-throw and dk too just its very uhm unlikely lol

 

[mario-man]

Yeah, I can maybe see that, cuz they're so heavy they don't go very far.

 

[-PM-]

yea it some times works but its not good against people that actually KNOW what there doing lol its better to just u-throw chain grab then down throw chain grab then back throw then blah blah blah lol so many choices

 

[mario-man]

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh!!!!!!!
SO MANY CHOICES!!!!!! WHICH ONE DO I USE!!!!!!
*my head during the split second of deciding which combo or throw to use*
**REPEAT OVER AND OVER**

 

[-PM-]

-throws enemy up-.... -thinks what attack to use-....

-SCREAMS!!!!!!!-

-head exploads- =/ lol

 

[mario-man]

I think you mean "head asplodes". Lol

 

[-PM-]

yupz lol thank yoo =]

 

[mario-man]

AHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love this world of smash. the fact how every one enjoys each other's company and act like best friends. (yeah, sure.)

*SWF mod walks up and hands mario-man a trophy for being the most understanding and fun guy to talk with and discuss Melee with. They ask for a speech*

"I just wanna thank all of those people who have been there to help me along in this game; who inspired me to play better, and joked around with me. To Eggz especially, cuz he never treated me like a downcast, but instead chatted with me through like 500,000 private messages.*chuckles* And how he showed me the ways of owning everyone else with Mario. And DylanTnga, for keeping the faith, and not letting n00bs convince him that Brawl woudn't be so bad without wavedashing. And -PM- for being the most recent person to reply to my posts." *bows*



LooooooooooooL

 

[-PM-]

[mario-man]

[mario-man]

[Eggz]

[-PM-]

lol sorry eggz for putting random crap in the do you need a question from eggz cause hes good at teh mario thread lol

 

[mario-man]

*bows*

Thank you. Thank you.

 

[FaceFaceMcFace]

All of that stuff made me want to make a completely pointless post.

There, I'm done.

 

[mario-man]

Hahaha!!!

Nice Face cubed.

 

[FaceFaceMcFace]

I love how my username is so inconvienient to type out that people just automatically shorten it or nickname me. I've only seen it typed out once or twice. XD
So far there has been... Face(which is obviously my tag anyway), McFace, FaceGuy, and now Face Cubed; by far the most mathmatical of them.

and for something on topic.

I know that it isn't something that should be tried for, but if your U-air happens to knock them backwards, is it possible to do a reverse-moving U-air combo on an opponent that has a brain and thumbs? It works on compys, but I know that cannot be trusted worth rigglebargle.

 

[mario-man]

I am mario-man, the mathemetician!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here we go........Face cubed with the hiccups.

Cape said he did it once like across FD, but im sure you'd have to be a ****** to not get out of that. I'd just go into b-air combos or something.

 

[FaceFaceMcFace]

Yeah that's what I usually do in the situation, but I was curious if Mario's mustache powers are that great.

I guess I'll just try it if my opponent is playing with their teeth.

 

[Matador]

The Stache is the source of Mario's power...Marth's sword being the kryptonite..

 

[-PM-]

don't you mean falcos gun ICK! it scares the suspenders off of me.

 

[Matador]

Can't forget about that..every shot singes Mario's mustache little by little.

 

[FaceFaceMcFace]

I say Mario's 'Stache should be a constant disjointed hitbox that does 15% damage on contact. Stupid developers.

and for a question...

Against what characters is the jab-grab technique considered less useful against if any?

 

[Eggz]

If a player DIs up and has a really fast sex kick with high priority, you'll get gayed out of your grab.

Other than that, jab -> grab isn't a combo, it just messes up their attacks and disorients them for a second. AKA a 'mindgame'
