-The FAir. The only way I ever tend to land this attack is to jump+FAir into an opponent recovering high. Are there any other tricks or angles where this move can be setup, on or off stage?

-With every game, Mario's head appears to be gradually getting bigger while his body is gradually getting smaller. Do you think this trend will continue, or are we headed for a recession where he might regain more realistic cartoon proportions in effort to recapture an ever maturing gamer audience?

Boss, who do you think is the best at gimping, Mario or Meta Knight? I know it's Mario, MK is just too slow and doesn't have enough options.

Also, I tried doing cape to foot-stool earlier and it seemed pretty cool, but I'm not sure how reliable that would be.

- When are the best times to use fireballs? And from how high should they be fired?

- When someone right behind you just used a smash attack/any random attack with lag behind it, how should you best punish it? I've mainly used short-hopped B-Airs, but lately it seems too slow and the enemy can shield in time. Is there a faster/better option?

Thanks. ^_^

Rofl at the tea picture, too good.

2 questions for you.

Have you ever thought of dropping Mario? If so, what kept you 'motivated' to keep trying with him?

Thanks in advance :).

Boss what's the best way to fight Fox and Falco? Their quick attacks, lasers and the latter's chain-grab always get the better of me.

My Win-Loss record vs them 2 combined is very poor.

Ask real questions people -_-

You're wasting time for people who really have things to ask Boss.

mario's head will remain the same in size....due to the simple fact that his ego will gradually go down by destroying and comboing the same people over and over again....

against MK your talkin the best way to gimp him is to be patient for his recovery.....you can cape his up-B.......or u can run out and Bair him till he is forced to use all his jumps...giving him no option but to use one of his B speacials....and hell...you got a cape...fludd and fireballs....think and be creative....

yes there is my good sir......and its called pivot grab...or u can stutter step fsmash..putting you out of range for them to do anything.....

Boss, how do you make such epic combos?
normally when im not playing.....i will have an idea in my head.....(most likely he will airdodge....he will rolll....etc) i keep that on my mind and counter pick battlefield.....normally a combo is created by nothing but a simple...dthrow..utilt.....jab combo....or bair.....

Rofl at the tea picture, too good.

2 questions for you.

dude mario is to amazing and is to fun to play....i cant drop him...not after all we've been through (beating azen....caping m2king......and all these edge gimps......its amazing to see mario in action and thinking of new combos out of nothing is like finding a 20 dollar bill on the ground.....makes me happy....

is the best method of edgeguarding mk fireball spam to kill his double jumps then caping his recovery?
read above post my good sir..... -_^b

Boss, how often do you use FIHL?
im sooooooooo sry man but i would answer if i new what FIHL wuz.....:(

Boss what's the best way to fight Fox and Falco? Their quick attacks, lasers and the latter's chain-grab always get the better of me.

My Win-Loss record vs them 2 combined is very poor.
fox-one of the easiest......fox can be annoying with lasers....and sh nairs......best approach is utilt...utilt...utilt....utilt..pivot grab(watch for air dodging) Dthrow.....etc.....easy percentage....but fox cant kill you with lasers and u can easily gimp him(which is why he lasers) for the most part try to stay on fox as much as possiable....dont give him any breathing room.....and save your smash attack power....and go for tilts...jabs...and aerials...

falco-its the same as fox.....after falco gets you to the chaingrab % limit he really cant do anything but spam lasers and hope he gets a smash attack on you.......refer to fox as of what to do....

Boss, why do you own so hard?
well it all started when i find smash bro's 64.....i wuz a yoshi main....then im like..wait a min....how good is mario i mean...he did start a worldwide phonemenom in nintendo...so i picked him up....the reson i own so hard is cause i get training...from top ranked pros......and i think of new combos in my head as i play my opponent...

How do you fight a snake? and how do you feel about Burger King now Opening Late.
ok first of all...burgerking opening late.....IS AMAZING O_o

to fight snake...most likely he will walk up to you and grenade shield...or go for a Ftilt....normally i would grab....dthrow....pivot grab again...dthrow....SHbair....reverse utilt....dair......dont be afraid to read your opponets airdodges......i normally focus on keeping snake in the air....watch out for his Bair thoughcause he could surprise you with it after you dthrow him.....



more questions anyone?? this is to fun!!!

Now this is a thread.

Who are your countrpick characters, and why?

What are some good methods of attacks or approaches to use for feeling out your opponet. To give you some slight insight on predicting something he may do? Or things to keep a keenful eye out for?

What are some nice follow up mindgames to use after throws & Jabs?

My counter pick characters would be luigi and GaW...due to the simple fact of DDD infinting both mario bro's.......and luigi for snake....easy combo ability...and easier kill options...

2.normaly i would dthrow them and stand there to see what they would do next...i keep that in my head...then i do it again second stock....then im like ok he may reapete the same thing to throw me off guard or he will change it up....but most likely they will hafe to change it up because once mario has them in the position he wants there screwed.....

3.one mindgame i told u wuz to grab dthrow...and stand still...your opponent will be like...WTF????...another would be to jab and walk away....lol its so classic...one more would be to run pass them and do nothing.....or run up and spotdodge....dont be afraid to get creative bro......approach with fireballs.....

Lmao @ #3. That's Boss material there.

I was thinking of picking up Snake. Snake & Mario. Only other character that seems creatively fun to play as to me.

Assuming you use the GC controller, do you have a specific control style, like assigning special moves to the c stick or stuff like that?

Thanks Boss, from the looks of it I just have to play super defensive. I tend to get a bit over aggressive and that's my problem agaisnt R.O.B. I'll have to practice DIing out of his Dsmash and attacking out of shield with aerials too. Thanks again, Boss.

What character played by someone around your skill level makes you have to really stratagize the most on how to beat it?

FIHL stands for FLUDD Induced Hit Lag, it's that new FLUDD AT we've been talking about for a while; it really helps against Luigi, G&W, and Marth.
