I don't know if you've ever BEEN to Huntington Indiana. But trust me, you really don't want to be. It's the most dead gaming region in the world... right now I am literally the smash scene in this town (and barely, at that). It used to be better but everyone lost interest. Including me.

Do any of youFellow Marios know how to design a website or know anyone who could? Im planning on making a webcomic in about a month and I'm having no luck finding anyone.

So apparently M2K, Shugo and Lain could be at the tournament I'm attending on Sunday... Lol
Play Lain, and here's what you want to do. Space with aerials and get him offstage and gimp him in like 20 seconds then avoid the grabs like I failed to do. **** that **** up and make him be like "osht your way better than xero"

EDIT: Apparently I double posted. My bad. :/

Your going to have to pull a Brood on M2K and predict everything if you wanna win, which is ridulously hard to do and I haven't seen or heard of a Mario who's taken atleast a round off M2K yet.. Xero pretty much hit on the dot on how to fight Lain. Fireball camping as well camping a platform can help. Just be careful because Lain can still grab you on a platform and send your stock away like it was nothing (I ****in hate ICies.) With Shugo I have no idea because I forgot who he is xD.

Against Lain, as an ICs, I would just platform camp, hit him in the air and rack up damage like that. Take no risks. Shugo I believe uses Falco/Sonic

Like M2K, I seriously doubt Shugo will ever lose to a Mario.

Shugo plays Falco, Meta Knight and Pit. He's likely the #1 player in the Eastern part of the Midwest. If you have a pocket MK and you think you want to Ditto him. Don't. Good luck!

I'm like you Inferno, all Mario. Though I do play Sonic as a warm up character but I probably won't use him in touneys. I'm really tempted to go Metaknight against D3 because I hate that matchup but I don't want to tier ***** just to win.

I'm glad you are all realizing mario is doomed. :)
I refuse to believe that :p. Mario has all the stuff to beat any character (except game and watch, he beats us in EVERYTHING) but people like Metaknight, Diddy, Falco, ROB, we have the tools to fight pretty much every character, we just have to play really smart in order to utilize everything. I've even discovered some new AT which I don't understand completely which allows Mario to do a short glide toss/wave dash (about Diddys length) using his fireball. I still don't have a good grasp on it though and I can't really pull it off in battle.

G&Q is definitely not Mario's worst MU. MK and Marth are both significantly harder.

Really Metaknight and Marth? I thought they were both difficult but I learned their MUs. G&W always seems to **** with his spaces Bairs and near ungimpable recovery. Maybe I just suck against G&W xP.

Game and Watch makes me so upset...He just really does beat us in everything we do, at least for me >_>.

I don't find Marth that bad either, but, not like I go to tournaments either :(. Snake is honestly the most annoying match-up for me, I asked 1000x for help on that, and I still lose it xD.

i find snake gay to fight against because how easy it is for him to rack up damage... POW-POW 21% And thats already 1/4th of the way there towards and u-tilt finish. Mario has to work his *** off to get in 20% and most snakes don't die until 160-170.

Heh, I personally think he's probably #1 in MW period, but yeah... That being said, he's not unbeatable in the ditto, but you had better know that MU REALLY well if you want to beat him.

Of course then he'll go back to Falco and **** you anyway.

Why? I mean everyone else said top tiers, but Bowser... really?

Two things:

1. It's 1/5 of the way. Utilt doesn't kill at 84%
2. Just camp and punish.

Switch "gay to fight" into "a fun challenge" and it might positively affect how you view the matchup :).

Seriously though, it's a great matchup to make you so much better as a player overall, no matter the char, because his ftilt punishes so easily and so effectively. Learn the matchup to become 5 times more effective than your opponent. The gayer the snake, the better.
