Is that because they DI away from it or can jump/air dodge of of it?

Yeah, Jab 1 -> Up B pretty good combo.

:135:
That and with higher percentages, it'll be hard to reach them since Rising Uppercut has godawful reach

Make sense. Hey, question. Is Dtilt -> KO Upper Cut still a thing?

:135:
Yep. Works about on majority of the cast. It's a Zero-to-Death combo for lightweights like Kirby, Jigglypuff, Mewtwo, Mr. Game & Watch and Rosalina

She's seriously tall, alright. I posted this same pic over on the Rosalina social a while back and I remember this one guy saying that Little Mac looks "adorable" in this pic, which to me it isn't the best word to describe him.

Try actually fighting competent players and try it, 25% chance of working against them and I don't like those odds. Plus when it whiffs, it's an easy punish. It's really not worth it and only benefits the opposition moreso.

If you want to use Mac's Up-B, just bait out an air dodge and attack from there or while you're in a jab combo, just mash out of it with his super armor.
what? sorry but yes it is a valid mixup. if you grab an opponent with mac facing the ledge (ie. like against campers), it is a natural reaction to DI towards the stage, and after a dthrow that means a guaranteed combo into upB on most characters, even at kill percents.

edit: and of course you don't have to use upB if they DI away. you will see when it's unwise to go for the upB. but yes, bad DI or no DI will guarantee the upB followup on most characters.

This is what I meant with Dthrow -> UpB

Aw, Look at Lil Mac trying to be big next to Rosalina. It's so adora-

*Gets KO UpperCut*

This might be my final montage video, but I wanted to make a good one. These take a long time to make. To long...lol

But, I give you air Mac. Tell me what you guys think!

Damn. Looks like it takes a lot of balls to go flying everywhere, specifically off stage.
All in all, turns out he was born to fly. lol

And interesting song choice. I'm more into rap music though.

I had a field day with the Mario Maker stage and Pirate Ship. Pretty fun **** right there and the Pirate Ship brings me a lotta good memories from Brawl.

Eh, I'm not real fond of ditto matches myself, not just Mac dittos. I had one of these a while back but that one was a scrub. It does bring some humorous results though.

Mac Dittos are the total opposite considering you'll either get a scrub tier Mac or a God-Tier Mac who would gimp you quickly, get back on stage and just foxtrot all around

the funny thing is, if a scrub mac and a god tier mac enter a match together, its a total gamble as to who is gonna win. super armor clashes are a B***h.

It's hard but you can just counter everything and bait out his counters.

Super Armor be damned

Until you get that one Mac that Side B's off the stage,even though there's a Miiverse post saying DONT SIDE B! then you're fine.

Super armor clashes does leave a bruise alright.

Or if they use Rising Uppercut near the edge trying to hit you and ended up falling to their deaths...

Hey Mac boards~
I started playing Little Mac as a pocket recently, and boy is he fun to use~ I've been getting decent results with him already too~
Nothing quite like killing Ganondorf with 5 smashes in less than 30 seconds XD

Recover under the stage and keep your second jump.

Don't let them gimp you too hard. Plus Pit players are radically different from Dark Pit players.

One will use all his tools to effectively beat you

The other will spam Side-B and spam smash attacks

Guess which one is the latter

now that you mention it...all the Dark Pits were doing the Side and Down B's. the Pits are the ones who really don't want me on that stage haha.

Decided to **** around on the Miiverse stage when I stumbled upon this post right here. I figure it looks great.



By the way, what's John Cena have to do with Little Mac?

That's what you get for playing on Miiverse
Though that wasn't the turning point on why I decided I had enough of Miiverse. I saw a post that was aimed at Lucas saying that "Even if you win, your mom is still dead" :/

Not sure if this is the right thread to ask but I didn't want to make one completely new thread looking for people. I'm not a Little Mac player but a Mario player who's seeking a sparring partner to learn the match-up. The thing is I know that this match-up is like 100000000000000-0 in Mario's favor but I can't for the life of me beat a Little Mac. It's mainly my problem as a player possibly respecting Little Mac a little to much and being really nervous when playing versus one like I try to punish things I know I can't punish like a Forward Smash on shield that wasn't perfect shielded yet I do it every time and also I don't know why but I just suck at gimping this character and that's more of my problem as a player too that I really need to work on. I don't know any good Little Mac mains on Wii U so if anyone in here ever wants to battle and I mean anyone so I could play different Little Macs with different play-styles, I would greatly appreciate it.

There is no such thing as luck. Either it just happened or, as Champ Gold Champ Gold mentioned, it was a coordinated attack.
If thats the case,then thats the most coordinated attack i've ever done during the 4 weeks i've had a Wii U.

That is really good. It's nice to know that miiverse isn't completely full of garbage.
