In Low Tier City 3, I believe it was Ally that was using Mario and he did a jab lock combo a couple of time. he would just jab the A button 2-3 times (they were stuck in get up animation), and then hit with a foward smash. does anyone know how to do this?

You have to hit your opponent with an attack that causes them to fall and, hopefully, miss the tech. N-air or b-air can be used for that. Then, as soon as they are lying on the ground (you have to be fast, otherwise it won't work), hit them with the first jab twice. This will cause the lock, which forces them to do the normal get up.

which move do you believe would be best to get them into the setup in the beginning?
Nair is usually best in getting them into the jab lock setup, since you can quickly act out of it and immediately go for the jab if your opponent falls on the ground and misses the tech. You can also do it with bair, but at higher percentages, it probably won't be as effective, since your opponent will be knocked into the air more often than the ground with a bair.
