tl;dr
don't copy anyone, improve as a player and your mario will improve.

This x1000.
It's all right to borrow stuff from people, but copying someone's technique will likely make you predictable.

 

[Kanzaki]

Learn your own style, don't copy other people's.


Me and Vato are the 2 best Mario's in SoCal, and we have complete opposite styles xD

 

[vato_break]

both unique different styles at that. i can't play like kanzaki at all, i get stuck under the FD ledge when i try to kanzaki plank, lol.

 

[Kanzaki]

I make the Anubis strategy work with Mario and Lucario :[

 

[A2ZOMG]

It's not that Flame or Kirin really have any particular style...it's just that they do things right and what they do is really smart, never really random or gimmicky.

If you want to learn good tactics fast, that's why I suggested copying from them.

 

[vato_break]

it's better to go through alot of trial and error as oppose to learning quickly from watching videos of other players in my opinion.

 

[hippiedude92]

vato is my inspiration

first be a good mario

then drop mario

then pick up mk

 

[Juushichi]

Yeah, I'm more in vato/Kanzaki's camp. I can't really watch videos and pick up things in particular for my Mario. I may watch some things from a Mario who does well in a matchup that I don't, but even then, it doesn't set in until I start putting it into practice for my own style. There's a ton of trial and error that goes into my game.

At least you'll really know the MK matchup now, Hippie. <3

 

[SKidd]

When I picked up Mario, I watched DTM and later Get Caped, and i was like OMG DAT MUST BE ME so I tried all of the crazy spikes(cape is still win <3)and i got ****ed up even worse, then I started playin my own style, really careful, spacing with the fireballs, finding mistakes in my opponent's game, and I did waaaay better.

Don't copy Boss or Kirin or Flame or Vato or Box, find your own style and adapt.

 

[Calebyte]

I think when you're first starting out, it's more important to learn the fundamentals of the game itself. There are a lot of aspects of the game that transcend character-specific stuff--things like spacing, decision-making, reading, baiting, and punishing. Once you have a solid grasp of those things, I would suggest in-depth exploration of Mario's specific metagame.

I also learn a lot by watching videos. There's no shame in emulating another player if his/her playstyle works well. I don't try to be like any one player, but it's good to experiment with what others are doing, find out what works for you, and move on from there.

 

[Kanzaki]

I think the worst advice to give any one, ever, is to "copy this person".

 

[condemned_soul]

I agree with kanzaki, I would like to be a leader not a follower

 

[hippiedude92]

lol i still feel like even as mk i have to work hard just to beat mk >_> but as mario its like "its iight you just beat a low tier, he doesnt have 10 options per situation lol"

vato come to apex

 

[condemned_soul]

F-air> U-tilt> long jump U-air> DAC (Dash Attack Cancel)> F-air> U-tilt> U-air> F-smash on captain falcon on Battlefield.

it was amazing because he couldnt do anything. Melee Mario FTW

 

[vato_break]

mk is easy to beat, just gotta be smart about it! =)


ill be at apex

 

[Kanzaki]

IM BORED


aiya.

 

[SKidd]

IM BORED


aiya.

 

[Calebyte]

Man, I wanna go to Apex!

 

[vato_break]

sometimes i use mario agian and **** even harder before i left him. mk made me much smarter and better because i can use options i never even thought of!

 

[Matt07]

@Calebyte I do to, so bad, lots of Mario mains are going to that.

Switching mains does generally make you improve with your main before you come back. You learned the information you put into other characters, and use it with your main to make yourself improve. Not only the character, but as a player in general.

This is very true.

I approve of this statement.

 

[SKidd]

Let's all switch to Ganon and see how we progress <3
and MK is for ***s ;_;

 

[vato_break]

these boards really are going to crumble without a2z, lmao.

 

[Fire!]

They haven't yet?

 

[vato_break]

it's a work in progress i think.

 

[Fire!]

Yeah, at least we're doing better then some of the other boards I've seen.

 

[$Lil' Gerald Is In Dat Style$]

Worst boards: Luigi

 

[vato_break]

LMAO foreal haha

 

[hippiedude92]

a2 is on the move around the country apparently lolss

vato come teach me wc

 

[vato_break]

why, i'm bad dude! i'm not even ranked.

 

[Calebyte]

Mario boards could be worse, guys. A LOT worse.

EDIT: I do miss A2Z though...

 

[$Lil' Gerald Is In Dat Style$]

Eh, Mario boards are very active, Luigi boards are the worst boards. They just talk in their social thread and never discuss their match-ups. Lol.

 

[JuxtaposeX]

What happened to A2?

 

[Kanzaki]

N> Consistent people to play wifi with.



Srs biz-ness >:O

 

[JUDGE]

What happened to A2?

this?

(btw hi guys^^)

 

[hippiedude92]

A2 is on a road trip for the summer, he basically did a car ride from..... WC to EC (visited me in NY lol) idk when he'll be back, but the latest update he told me was, he entered SF4 singles in EVO ahaha

 

[fromundaman]

Well, to be fair, playing Ganon helps you learn to read, bait, and punish your opponents better, since, well, to be honest, he has jack-**** going for him (except SideB, but that helps with reading too and Uair), and you pretty much have to progress as a player to use him.

 

[A2ZOMG]

Guys, Evo 2010 was amazing.

If only more of you were there. I got a picture with Daigo. =)

And hippiedude, I'm back at home.

I got to play around with MvC3 there, and watching the grand finals was hella amazing. There was also a casual Brawl station, but not too many good players.

If you know Rina-chan, she was there and cosplayed as Juri (SSF4) and Athena (King of Fighters) during the event.

 

[$Lil' Gerald Is In Dat Style$]

A2, upload the pics!!!!
