Confessions of a Mario Main

[~Pink Fresh~]

I Wanted to Main Mario post release (like 2 weeks), since my friend started playing mario, but I didn't like using the same character as him, (loldittos) so I picked up Lucas D:

<---Liked Lucas ALOT while playing SSE and seriously considered maining him over Sonic and Mario.

 

[A2ZOMG]

I was originally going to main Pit when Brawl came out, and then I decided he was too floaty and awkward and campy.

"You're not ready yet."

"I'm done for..."

 

[Fire!]

I was originally going to main Meta Knight. That worked out well. lol

 

[Veggi]

I was originally going to main Tom Nook.

I wanted to write a sick guide on how to win with an offensive Mario, with interpretations on why Boss does what he does, explanations of why I do what I do, and why you should do or not do them based on how you want to play.

Unfortunately, I got lazy and put it off for some time. I wonder if I'll ever get started on it. If I get going on it I'll make it a WIP, as reading a big block of a guide at once is too much to take in...

Y'know, I should add that to my guide.

I mean the whole analysis on why Boss does what he does. I have a pretty decent idea why he uses certain strategies.

This is what I hate about Mario...his awesome looking but stupidly horrible Fair. Ugh, it throws off my whole combo game sometimes due to my main being Luigi and secondary Mario sometimes, I forget that i'm not Luigi and mess up with Mario's fair, slow and terrible move.

 

[BSP]

yeah, fair's not one of his greatest moves. I hate it when i try to jab cancel into a d smash, and end up buffering a D tilt...yall can guess what happens next

 

[Matador]

I've seen quite a few Marios make Fair look epic. It DOES have a few setups with fireballs.

 

[:mad:]

I'll be that odd one out and say that Fair is Mario's 2nd worst move.

 

[9Kplus1]

Can I use

, instead? I suck with Mario

Um... Luigi's Down Taunt "combos" into Fair, regardless of DI.

 

[fromundaman]

Confession: I suck.

 

[DtJ XeroXen]

Confession: I suck.

How dare you suck!!! This is unacceptable! Nah, j/k. If you think you suck you will probably do worse though, so you should be really cocky for no reason.

 

[Fire!]

Confession: I suck.

LOL.

[vato_break]

Bo x7 unleashed my true potential.

 

[Inferno3044]

It's nice to see a lot of confessions around the day of atonement. At least you have all confessed.

My newest confession is that I feel like I know almost everything about Mario, but only on a piece of paper. Right now, I'm unable to use all his various possibilities in battle at the right time.

 

[Cold Fusion]

Guys, I have to confess. I don't actually main Mario. I don't even use Mario

Spoiler

You are not supposed to know that

. I main Jigglypuff.

 

[$Lil' Gerald Is In Dat Style$]

lol Jiggs, Jiggly is god tier.

 

[fromundaman]

Confession: The little face at the bottom lies. I am one of you now.

(B-reverse fireballs are too awesome)

 

[Calebyte]

Alright guys, I have a confession to make. Oh boy, this is tough.

Well, here goes....Idon'tknowhowtofightSamus!!!!

There it is. I've lost to Samus (by talented player, but still). I just get forced to approach with missles, and then zaired into oblivion. I can't beat Samus guys, what should I do?

 

[$Lil' Gerald Is In Dat Style$]

Cape and powershield her missles, Samus is rly scared of Mario's cape. Samus is very bad up-close, just go up-close and pressure her to death. Samus can't outcamp Mario w/ the zair and missiles. Just shield the Zair then approach her.

 

[JuxtaposeX]

Oh my god i've been looking for this thread for a while now

 

[fromundaman]

Camp her hard and PS Zair. Don't really know what else to say. Haven't played a good Samus in a while now.

 

[Calebyte]

Okay, I think my problem was that I was approaching from the air, leaving me open to a lot of zairs.

 

[Juushichi]

Composer, right? Yeah, stay grounded until you get inside. Be careful of falling uairs, though on (your) juggles and Samus' Up-B comes out faster than people realize.

You've got awesome DI, so if you're in that, you should be able to get out alright.

[EDIT:] My confession: I can't seem to get wins against R.O.B. and get wrecked more than I should. I just don't know what I'm doing wrong in that matchup, but it's keeping me from higher placings.

 

[thegreatkazoo]

For Samus: Fireball to death. Stay about 1/3 stage length away and fireball camp. When you're in close, Mario tornado works exceptionally well, and jab-->down smash does as well. Mario's nair (one the first few frames iirc) can stop a power missile, but I consider this to be more of a psychological advantage. When a Samus sees they can't use one of there bread and butter tactics, it can make the match easier for you.

For ROB: Fireball camp some more. If he tries to side-b the fireballs, you have an assortment of options (smash attack, nair, fair, bair). Also try to land fireballs if ROB is using his boosters.

ROB can also be juggled pretty easily. If you get him in a utilt lock at low percents, and follow with some aerials, that's a free 30%-40%

Yeah I forgot this. ROBs with bad DI can easy get 60-70% taken off with five up tilts, up smash, and a Mario tornado.

So awesome when it works.

 

[thegreatkazoo]

Seriously?

 

[SKidd]

ROB is ****
but how come all the newcomers **** in brawl, and all the oooold veterans are terrible?

Lol, a quick look at the tourney results thread shows the same people placing consistently within their region, all of them veteran players. So uh, what are you talking about?

[JuxtaposeX]

Oh ****, you called him a moron. I guess that means he's going to take you seriously from now on.
