As you may have noticed I've been maining Mario since Brawl :mario2:, (my first contact with the Smash Bros. series), although since Smash4 I've been playnig Doctor Mario too :4drmario:.
you could say that technicaly I Co-main them :ultmario::ultdoc:.

The reason I main the Red Plumber:mariomelee: is because is a Jack-of-all-trades (aka: All around character), having good a combo game with juggling options, a useful projectile, a reflector, an awesome edge guarding tool in F.L.U.D.D., a decent recovery that can work as a combo finisher, great throws, with a kill throw at high percentages (back throw) or combo starters (up and down throws). Mario doesn't have glaring weaknesses, but it's not a powerhouse.
With my competitive experience since Smash 4, When playnig with any of the Marios, I tend to struggle fighting against Marth:ultmarth:, Lucina:ultlucina:, Cloud:ultcloud:, Palutena:ultpalutena:, Shulk:ultshulk: and Roy:ultroy:. Any tip when fighting them or a suggestion for a secondary character to counter them ?

F.L.U.D.D. is a good option for Marth, Lucina, Cloud, Shulk, and Roy.
I haven't fought enough Palutenas to really suggest a strategy against her, though.
