Yeah I have the mario boards set as a pinned tab, so I'll be frequenting them again. :3 Not sure who all the new marios are lately, but itd be koo to find out ;3

I just realized my Fox isn't really anything special so the best way to get attention is with mario LOLLLL
plus ive been having a lot of fun with low/mid tiers lately, so mario falls into that. hes kind of a pimp.

Im so glad Eggz has returned to playing mario. I actually was happy to see mango play mario for a while. Showed me that mario is still beast. I used to main mario back in the day, may just take the little guy out to play.

I'm doing **** you probably aren't doing. That is, I play Mario to be as gay as possible. You probably don't want to copy me unless you're trying to learn how to beat the ICs. =P

Yeah it's gonna be hard to impress people with Mario after Scorp wrecked ****

still, Eggz's Mario is pretty cool and he should upload some videos when he's got some :)

Blanky, one thing I feel you could be doing better is punishing aerials more. You're running around plenty and attacking, but you aren't getting close enough to the danger to be able to punish well. If you let Sheik whiff, you should be f-smashing her, or grabbing. Same with spacies. If they approach predictably with aerials, dash dance grab them.

thanks for the help man :) i'll keep that in mind next time i play! would it really work against good spacies though? i feel like a shine or jab after their aerial would disrupt a grab if they l-cancel consistently.

haha okay i trust you! i know one of my weaknesses is that im a little too defensive. i tend to just wait till i find an opening before i go in. so you're saying i should lessen the gap between the opponent and i so that it'll be easier to punish a whiffed aerial? i'll try it out dude! thanks for checking it out :) i appreciate the critique!

That's exactly what I'm saying. Watch how Marth players dash dance grab Foxes/Falcos/etc. It's the same with Mario, you just have to be a little more precise because of Mario's smaller grab range and slower dash.

Eggz is a cutie.

Some day, I will actually play him instead of at pound 4 I just looked at him and didn't play him.

----i'm gay. --- not really.

thank you so much :) very helpful!

and Eggz' Mario is a cutie. i, however, have not had the pleasure of laying my eyes on Eggz the human.

i am also straight.

Big problem I've seen in all the Mario videos posted (that ive seen, aka the one below and one of n0ne's) :
You guys commit too much with your approaches. You should be using your quickest combo moves until you have a combo on lock, then freestyle from there. taps and taps and taps. nair isnt that good for approach, fair is pretty terrible for most approach situations (high risk high reward, you should omit risk when possible.)


Based on this video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ht-ulEI3qXg

Only sweetspot the edge with your up-b; theres rarely a point in going all the way on the stage, particularly if youre extending the up-b. It has a ****in huge hitbox thatll **** anyone up if you know how to time placing it right.

Also use more bair as a poke, its super ****ing good. It has minimal lag, so if you land it you can follow up (turn around grab, turn around jab, turn around dsmash, etc.) or if its shielded you can dip out asap.

Don't jump predictably when uthrown. at lower percents you can nair before their uair comes out, so thats a good surprise attack instead of jumping away. I get punished to **** for jumping out now =[

when doing autocancel'd bairs, try to fade away with them instead of going in with them unless youre certain they'll connect. landed lcancel bairs are generally more versatile when trying to follow through

your only good smash attack is dsmash unless combo'd into, so be cautious about others. theres a situation for everything, obviously, but the situation for most smash attacks doesnt happen often.

spacies and sheik you can combo into kill moves easily out of dthrow. dthrow fsmash, dthrow usmash, dthrow utilt nair etc.

thats from 1:11 of watching the fox vid on FoD, i kinda gotta go now so ill just post this as is and check back later.



ending tips that arent relevant to anything specific :
Wavedash out of shield to punish lag is really ****ing good.

frame perfect ledge dash from the ledge *****

play low risk high reward

playing the tap game is most effective until you have a combo on lock, then just take them to dead town



I'll be recording some new vids this weekend at our monthly :3

heres a couple photos of me LOL
