The sweet spot of the spike is at the very bottom of the downward facing part of the attack, while the sour spot is at the begginning of the attack. There is about a 1/2 second delay before the spike is possible, so anticipate the attack. I can demonstrate if you need further guidance. :-)
also what do you mean by combo breaker?
Pay close attention to what I did to the Corrin player in 2:25. I down throwed him hen short hopped into landing then upsmash.
Interesting even better than styles u say? Simply add pressure. Don't go for the grabs, that's what he wants you to do. Megaman is a projectile player. So to go close is dangerous. So instead you play his game. I recommend this option, do a pivot fireball and then shorthop again into another fireball. therefore there would be two fireballs fast chasing megaman. His only option is o either jump or block. if he blocks, GRAB and do follow ups. If he jumps, read I before he does then up air.
Thanks
Depends on the situation.. SJP can get you out of a few rapid jab combos (Most notably Captain Falcon's rabid jab combo) SJP does also have a Bit of a misleading hit box that can get you out but a bit risky if they are expecting you to Super jump punch out of the combo. Nair has a long hit box that could work as well but the range isn't that good..
. I struggle so much against(I think most Mario mains do struggle against them mostly). Who is good against these two? Give me a list of good characters that can do well against these two and I'll choose one of them. I prefer someone completely different from Mario in terms of playstyle since I want playstyle diversity.
Well since Mario has small reach, compare to the Fire Emblem Characters, he can still space them out. Use his fireballs and pivot fireball to space. I swear fireballs looks useless but it has such great properties. Also practice Mario's pivot Back Air. Its one of his GET THE F*CK OF ME kind of spacing. Since you say, you shield a lot, simply try not to. I know it sounds too simple, but the reason you are shielding a lot is because they are spacing you with their weapon.
Oh no problem at all! There's a lot of helpful stuff here. I've definitely learned to respect the power of the fire ball. I was facing a Shulk and as soon as I got the stock lead/ major percentage lead, all I did was use fire ball. Having experience as Wario, it definitely felt good to have a projectile against these match-ups.
Rosalina and ZSS are top tiers, what what better way to fight them with another top tier! Sheik is probably the character that can compete with them the most. But honestly, Mario's match ups vs. them aren't that bad, and I'm sure if you work on those match ups specifically you can come through with a win.Hi guys,
I need a back-up character for
Nair isn't completely safe on shield, but it's kind of hard to punish because of how fast you can jab out of it. This is especially true if you play online. Usually nair can be punished with an OOS option like nair, usmash, or up-b (depending on your character) as long as you do it right when he hits you.
Thank you, I appreciate it. Also, be careful of triple posts without editing. XD You might get warned for that. I just gonna solo main Mario straight up. I don't want Sheik to be honest even though I love the character. XD
Cape is really good at stopping his up special, even if you trade it still pushes him in the other direction. Other than that, if you've let him get into up special already, a fast-fall-fair is a solid option since there is no hitbox on top of DK's recovery.
I agree with Joushi. Since DK has a bad recovery, you know he won't be able to go far from the stage. Therefore you bait the cape or even scare him to using his Up B. When you get this down packed it is so much fun. Cape is like sending the person into another dimension! lol
I would say it's only
. There are other matchups that we have to worry about such as, but they're not as bad as Rosa. Even Rosalina is perfectly duable even if it's Mario's worst MU.
Technically it's not. There's a gap between the last and second last hit of Dair. You need a really fast button (think airdodge works as well) to get out of it though. 3 frame moves work.
That's a jump cancelled up smash. During the pivot/turnaround, input a jump at or around the same time as an up smash and it should result in a reversed up smash. Mario does have an easy time with it since his pivot lasts long so if you have trouble getting it wait until you see him facing the opposite direction during the pivot then quickly input a jump and an up smash then work on getting it just slightly earlier..

Bit late on this one but I've been using it as a mix-up for FF Nair then into jab and trying to combo it off if U throw when given the chance (but I usually just go for the Dthrow combo because options are better) tbh though Dair had been slipping away in my usage levels to the point where it's my second not as used move (first is FLUDD..)
The Best place to start is to find someone to play and use Mario to the extent of your knowledge. Then save the replay regardless of the outcome and watch it to view what you could have done differently, or things that you can improve upon. You never know what you need to practice until you see the whole thing in action.
How exactly does pivot-fireball and -bair look like and what's the execution?
I am a very unoptimal player,so my advice might not be the golden standard. But I used to hate the Yoshi mu, but after learning a couple tricks I've come to terms with it.
