Aight kev.
it's late as ****
but u want srs
so i got some srs
say mk plays EXTREMELY smart. and does not get nervous.
match begins.
wario in this mu has to play very patient, very smart, bait very well.... be very creative and most importantly, always space everything perfect.
Mk needs to play patient, and smart. spacing well is not that big of a deal for him, because of his range and priority. ( it is still a big deal, but in comparison to wario, it is not huge)
that is the only reason mk wins the mu
to get in/a lead on mk.
wario can either
1. break his bike for tires and zone with them, and his air mobility, keeping mk in either his shield, or one side of the field.
Now because cam either challenge the wario by tring to manuevar past the flying tires and going in for a fair BUT mk is now in warios play pen a.k.a off the ground. it is now up to the wario to prove himeself. Warios airdodge last longer than any of mks moves, even that long as bair.... so wario has options here. punishing the fair with wario is very easy imo.
Or let's say mk just stays in shield. Wario has ways around this as well. They are called bite, and they are also called baiting the shield, and straight up airdodging through the shielded mk and grabbing him from behind. warios grab does 13 damage, and can easily combo into a dacus for another 18 damage( 16-19, depends on if the mk smash di's some of warios upsmash hits). u are now in the lead... and mk has to approach you.
some nub: But keith, mk shuttle loop is invincible on frame 1, and it can go through bite.
Keith the great: Well nub, since u already know that, use that to ur advantage. This is where mix ups come in. jump in at him, use the godly airmobilty, if he ground up b, airdodge it, then punish with an up air that does 17 damage. not only have u gotten the lead, but u now have him in the air.... a place where wario *****. Keep in mind, mks cannot shuttloop once the bite has already touched the shield. mk can only ground shuttle loop a biting wario if the wario is very obvious or spaces his bite badly.
wario can either cont...
2. if playing with bike parts is not ur style, then do what i do and act stupid. Wario can auto cancel all his aerials, and they are all stupidly good. spaced, and auto canceled right, up air can be very good for scarying mk, because it is very hard to get in on a wario who does that, or nairs correctly ( nair has double hit boxes for those who do not know). keeping mk at bay can be easy if u know what he cant approach you on.
baiting with fair is also good with wario. Mk's will really try to challenge warios retreating fair, and in that, they leave their comfort zone... plus end up missing u if u space urself right.
wario can either cont...
3. Wario's DACUS is very good, and very underrated. But.... using DACUS could also get u ****ed. this is where parts of wario creativety come in. Let's say ur auto canceling aerials right outside mks range. mk will not be dumb enough to approach u, and they cant just sit in shield, for they can just get grabbed/ bit.
This is the best time to dacus. Warios dacus is very fast, and i have started leads off with this move many many times.
im done for tonight.... more tomorrow or something.
