We don't even know that knowing the MK MU perfectly will even matter. I still play Mario vs MK, but I'll probably stop if I get my Falco up to par. Which brings the MU's I won't play Mario in up to 2-3. (D3, Marth[just about] and MK).

Also, playing Mario against M2K is dumb and pointless. He lives here and I've played him more than a few times. One, he doesn't even remotely take it seriously and two, he doesn't even need to. M2K doesn't know a ton of matchups because of what I just said. He doesn't have to.

Boss can't beat M2K...He picks apart all of his characters...

Also, If Flameleon thinks he can beat M2K by playing like the "perfect textbook Mario" then he will lose...M2K reads and remembers all textbooks sadly..The only way you would have a chance of winning is to play random by switching your playstyle up constantly during the set...Have to do the unpredictable...Why do you think I UpB after Dthrow or techchase with DSmash?
Much respect to you broski, you know your stuff 4sho.
always been a fan of your mario since watching you in "Do The Mario 3"
& ditto friendlies with boss.

you make a good point there btw, m2k reads & remembers all textbooks? curse m2k.
thanks for the tip also, UpB after Dthrow or techchase with Dsmash.
I just techchase with reverse Up-smash.....back of mario's head is his sweet spot.

Heh... yeah, a Mario beating M2K isn't going to happen anytime soon. The guy is ridiculous. I was proud to get him to 1 stock when he was sandbagging as Kirby XD (And the random grounded hammer I got on him is the highlight of my smash career.)

I tried Mario on him 1 game... got gimped 3 times in a row in less than 2 minutes. ****, I did better with Ganon against him than I did Mario.

The highlight of my smash career is probably hitting Holy with a falcon punch, but I think he let me since he dropped his shield right before getting hit...
I go Luigi against him and only get gimped 9/10 times now!

-I have no FLUDD skills at all >_> I only remember once gimping someone with that move (and this doesnt count since it was on WiFail)
-When playing against Falco I always think that I can counter him with Mario. This has cost me a few money matches.
-I dont use D-tilt enough. Such a waste not to use a move as powerful as that one :/

Ah, moving up in the world, I see. My recent highlight was getting a kill in 2v2 within the first second of the match by Fairing an Olimar while screaming "BEST MOVE EVAR!!!!!!" I almost got it to work a second time in the same match, except stupid castle seige saved him :/

Fair is pretty decent to intercept edgeguarders, but then they learn their lesson and it never happens again -_-

you gotta use it as an "OMGWTH" mixup. like the cape. Also, Dash attack is awesome. I'm pretty sure you can duck under falco's lazers with it (I mean, I can duck under pit's arrows with it, so...)

I should pick up marth. And work on my ICs. And work on my Mario. And my Fox. And figure out how to properly play Peach. And then work on properly playing Peach. And TL. And Diddy Kong (maybe). And Falcon. And Mario again. And Lucas. And Jigglypuff. And Random. And Luigi. And Ike. And...

Also, douh you have a IC?!
Yes and no. ICs was my first secondary, but I wasn't playing very often, so I had no practice whatsoever. Other seconds that I had were a bit easier to learn, so ICs kinda fell along the wayside. So I'm not good in any way at ICs yet. I also can't practice them now because they are one of the few characters who freeze the game whenever I try to play as them.

I have played Mario since melee.

I also have switched around mains for quite some times until finally settling in at Mario.
(Includes: Pit, Olimar, MK (only because of his epic brokeness), and Lucario)

I now play Mario and Captain Falcon because they both are seriously awesome.
