I've found that if you sweet spot N-air your opponents, specially at low percentages, and you follow their DI, you can follow up with a D-tilt into U-tilt (As many times depending on the %) into a chain of U-Air(s). Works kinda like the down-throw Knock-back wise.
is easy to pick up, but I instantly clicked with him. Before I would lose a lot, but as soon as I started using mario , I started winning. However, I have a problem with his recovery. I don't know why, but I SD more with mario than any other character. Either I'm losing my jump and I'm not noticing it and the up B doesn't reach, or is for some reason facing the other way and when I up b he doesn't grab the edge. He is the only character I've had this issue with, the rest do not face the wrong way. I'm not sure if it's my controller, or what, but It's frustrating me. Any help?
(sorry if this is too long).
I don't know what it is, maybe it's because I haven't played in a while and
I'm using the pro (going to switching to the GCC very soon), so I don't know if that has anything to do with it, but it's really frustrating. I guess I'm just going to have to really practice his recovery. Would you mind dittoing me sometime and point out my mistakes? I can't exactly play right now, but maybe later tonight, or tomorrow? Thanks.
, and ?
Don't overextend your aerial strings due to Kirby being floaty. Watch out for his dair, he can do dair->up-smash or dair->d-smash and this is dangerous at kill %. Have FLUDD ready to gimp possible up Bs that don't sweetspot the ledge. The best way to secure kills against Kirby is with a well spaced pivot JC up smash.What are the do's & don'ts when fighting kirby?
Link actually wins the MU.
45:55 I would say. Link is combo food for Mario at low-mid % but his superior grab and tilts are troublesome. Even though Mario has a cape, Link has 3 different projectiles. Too much to deal with at the same time. Mario also has a hard time landing against him due to attacks like u-air, u-tilt and up smash.
Try to mix some d-tilts on low % after a down throw. Jabs also work.
Theorycraft: as a mixup, would dtilt jab jab regrab work?
Same weight and fall speed, but Doc has worse air speed. No modifiers affecting combos.
N-air vs Fireball approaches. GRAB AGGRESSIVELY AND FORCE MARIO TO RESPECT IT (also...pivot grab approaches and dashgrab his landing is pretty easy too). Mario will need to jump/dodge a lot in order to not get screwed by Link's grab and this opens him up to getting punished by a bunch of powerful stuff (Link's anti-airs are really good, you have a lot of options to choose from against Mario when he's in the air). Once he's offstage, N-air or D-air him out of his Up-B. N-air will trade but gimp him out of his Up-B. D-air doesn't trade but does massive damage/can KO/stagespike.
Usually SH airdodge is one of Mario's better options. You can buffer a B-air after SH airdodge. Obviously you shouldn't be predictable, but it's a way to potentially bait people and close the distance.
I only play mad campy vs Rosalina and Luigi (pre-patch). The rest I play as I normally do: Have a strong neutral and once you're in, try your hardest to not be pushed out.
Fast rolls can't really be reacted to, so it sort of comes down to reading their patterns. Safest way to punish them is by either dash attacking or dairing through them. If you feel you can read it well though, go for an upsmash.
You guys should go to your respective character boards for more assistance.
I use a perfect pivot into a
upsmash. but i mainly do out of shield Up-Smashes.
the best way is to do it is via a pivot jump cancelled up smash.
(dash) -> +/ + . button too to make it easier to press it and the c-stick at the same time.
Mario plays as a juggler, most of his combos coming from throws. Namely his down-throw into up-tilt and up-airs, and sometimes i've seen up-throw to down-air. if you can juggle characters with his up-airs, and you can use his A-M-A-Z-I-N-G N-air to knock-down opponents and set up a lock with his jab, he has a good projectile, a reflector that turns people around, and a recovery that makes you rich, hes an all-around good character, he has more speed than doc, but a little less power... thats really what i know, i think his better kill moves are his Backthrow and his U-smash outta shield.
