When you SH N-air, you are committed to landing before you can do any other actions. SH U-air lets you do more actions before you land, so thus gives you more flexibility, which can either work more favorably in your mixup or spacing strategies. The only time U-air oos is inferior to N-air is maybe like really rarely during crossover situations, except because you have the option of B-airing afterwards, it's actually probably overall better anyway. Most characters don't really want to fool around behind Mario's shield anyway since he's strong at punishing crossovers.

Also a key thing to note about fullhop U-air is that a frame perfect buffered U-air lets you autocancel a D-air immediately afterwards. I actually use this for spacing, given that the final hit of D-air has pretty good range/priority.

Boss kinda is right, but don't N-air oos. U-air oos. 99% of the time U-air oos is better, both safer and more damaging, and only slower by a single frame. You just need to learn to lightly hold upwards to buffer it.

You need to shield a LOT more. Especially against Ike. Ike wants you to spotdodge. You almost never need to do that, and you shouldn't, given that a lot of his stuff is pretty unsafe on block, and his grab is not a threat (just don't DI poorly when he does B-throw -> DA combo which works at around mid percents).

Spacing is pretty good though, you probably could have gotten easier kills if you waited for U-smashes oos (you can try to do this in between hits of his Jab combo, whenever he does a DA, or any non-retreating aerial). Don't waste B-throw on heavies until about 180% on neutrals.

Anyhow though a lot of you getting hit was mainly just being impatient, your fundamentals otherwise were decently solid.
Yeah. I was playing like a "Chicken with his head cut off" lol...just having fun
with vezzo. Thanks for the tips though A2Z. :cool:

Nice display of your marry-o Eleghor. Use more d-tilt, f-tilt, M-games & fludd plz.
D-tilt is a nice set up for a f-smash or u-smash. Ya spacing was ok.

Hmm.....I should upload a friendly set of me vs. Lordy (Lordhelmet) His falcon is beast!
What i did to him on his last stock was some "DTM" ****. ;D

Do you guys have any recommendations or exceptional videos that would show Mario at the top of his game or help demonstrate his Metagame?

Boss, KirinBlaze, and Flameleon are probably the most impressive to watch.

Eh...I guess i'll bring this **** back up. xD

That kirin vs. pane is one of my favorite mario vs. wolf matches to watch. Kirin went all in on him.

I truely love being apart of the mario boards. I've grown & learn as a mario/player since i join Sboards.
Watching videos of every known mario player & copy & paste every move they do & add to my skills.
I wanna be like a "Chameleon mario" adding some flare to my skills as well. ;)
