I never liked losing, mario is fun but losing totally overides the fun for me especially if its losing to someone i know im better than.
This. But I couldn't place in the moneys even if I tried to, even if I used MK, so I came back to Mario. Winning with Mario feels great, and losing isn't so bad when you consider how bad a character Mario is. With MK, or any other high tier, its the complete opposite for me. It doesn't make me feel accomplished when I win, and when I lose it just makes me feel even worst.

If Low-Tier tourneys were advocated more, I'd probably be attending a lot more tournaments.

AMAZING games, Coolwhip. You play very intelligently as far as using your options.

Be on the lookout for Coolwhip guys. If he keeps going to tourneys/smashfests, he's gonna be the next big Mario.

Good luck with WiFi Inferno!

It sounds very appealing and can help you with a lot of match-ups, but it can be frustrating other times :(.

I quit wifi for now. I suck way to much on wifi, like, my wifi Mario doesn't compare at all to my offline Mario (Matador knows).

My point is that I'm fairly rusty. Also I'm gonna reapply cape. 2fast had me thinking "yo why don't I do that anymore?" after he successfully caped Will in friendlies multiple times. I used to be good with cape and at pound I caped an MK then ****ed it up because I had to double cape him and I accidentally hit him as I recovered. I also thought "dammit Will. Punish the Mario." lol

2fast on that pimp hand status

A lot of people have been stepping it up and I'm unfortunately still about the same. I need a wii and then I'll et on that wifi status like Anti.
Mario's not too hard to win with on wifi imo. I once had a 16 win streak on the AiB ladder going Mario.

I didn't do nearly as badly in this tournament as I thought I would, and I was mostly Mario there. One of my matches was against a Metaknight who counterpicked me to Brinstar if I recall.

Wifi's only bad if you take it seriously.

Just don't, lol. The most I take from it is KO percentages of moves on various characters...and even that has to be taken with a grain of salt.

And yeah, fireballs are OP on wifi.

It's honestly a shame I didn't save more of my wifi Mario matches...I can remember getting some of the most awesome Up-smash out of shield kills ever in some of my better matches. Like I distinctly recall U-smashing out of shield in between hits of things like Ike's Jab combo and Metaknight's F-tilt for kills lol.

Guys. I don't wanna be known as a wi-fi mario, infact, i hate it with a passion.
I like playing mario ALOT MORE offline anyway after going to my first ever smashfest.
Many ppl i've played against (Ranked Players) say that me & bo x7 are like the two best marios
here in IL. And if i keep going to smashfests/tourneys i can be top mario in the midwest.
Oh & matador. It means alot coming from you dude. *smiles*
I'm still working hard to improve with mario & push my skills to a higher lvl,
& i love the mario boards. Mario is gonna be top-tier, someday.

I've gotten back into playing Mario a bit more so now I feel better about my options. I'm applying a lot more upsmash and goddamn does it help.

I forget just how much space it covers some times. Playing Project M and Melee has helped my spacing and ff aerials. Not really runnin into movement blocks like I used to.

Still won't be entering tournaments for a bit because of financial issues, but I feel like I'm drastically improving again.

Wait, does that mean you don't plan on actually entering Keist's tourny?

No, although I do play both of those games. If anybody wants to play one of those with me on Xbox they can add me, my XBL Account is JetpackXeroXen.

I'm actually not gonna be around for a while because of real life stuff. I don't have enough time to go to tournaments during the school year anymore. Plus money, and other things. I'm too lazy to get on smashboards too.

All it really takes to get on Smashboards is procrastination. Take me for example.

You probably need to B-air more (or less). Either way B-air is awesome against Mario for kills. It's one of the most common ways I see ROBs getting KOs in this matchup.

Edgeguarding or juggling with N-air is just as good against Mario as it is against a lot of characters too.

im good with rob! better than with mario i guess, but marios fun just because of how simple he is. i already jus figured out cape gliding, it said it would be hard to learn at first. im pretty much doing it every time which took like 5 minutes lol.
