What they said. That is pretty sexy Fire.

Also, after watching the matches Bo X7 put up, does anyone else use Bthrow? I always found it to be one of his better throws at mid-high percents since it deals more damage.

B-throw is my favorite throw.

Generally speaking, either I will save it for KOs or use it at mid percents for dealing damage. Oh and in teams, it's EVEN BETTER since you can hit enemy partners away with it for a little extra damage.

I just wish it had a little more knockback of course...since Luigi's B-throw KOs about 15-20% earlier.

I always use it at some point in a match though. Usually saving it for kills is only really good against lightweights like Fox and Falco.

bthrow is great even though it lost a LOT power from melee to brawl ..:(
but i don't save bthrow for the kill. you need to get the enemy to 160% til it kills. to easy to DI.
but it makes 12% damage which is pretty cool^^

I don't particularly try to keep it fresh for kills myself. If it happens, great, but generally speaking, when even at 160%-180% my opponent can survive it with good DI, I figure it's easier to just kill with any aerial and just use it for damage.

There are still quite a couple Marios in Florida. There's Monk (who I think plays Melee now), :mad:, Walnut, Uber Mario, and myself. Most of those are in Tampa too.
Don't forget Hero and Sensai.

In the coming weeks I will be deciding whether or not I wish to continue with Mario, so I probably won't be posting here very much at all. I'll most likely know by January if I'm dropping him.

I'm not actually sure why I'm posting this, I guess it's to let you guys know ahead of time that I'm possibly dropping him.

Bthrow's amazing, but I use pretty much all of the throws equally, except maybe Uthrow.

Fthrow can be great for followups, and the angle is preferable if you want them offstage. Plus, it does 10 dmg, so that's always nice. I think it can be about as useful as Dthrow.

Edit: don't drop Mario Xero. He's too amazing.

Falcon Mario/Link.

I play Link in teams. He's good.

I'll probably go more Mario though seeing as how Ally has teamed with Boss before and has the experience with Mario on his team.

I'm been fooling around with U-throw, and I think it's actually better than D-throw if you grab someone like Snake or Falco at 0%. It sets up better than D-throw imo.

I use U-throw a lot against Marth too, since he's very limited when he's above you.

Mario's Dash attack is really useful. Really good against spotdodges in general.

You connect with the weak hit as they spotdodge, then turn around to grab them. So fun.

xero dont get wall'd or airdodging towards the ground/next to bo too much D: good stuff though
LOL Good **** Bo and Xero, haven't seen one of these matches in awhile. Omg Xero, you fell into that charged Fsmash T_T

Dash attack is maaaaad underrated. Spotdodge punisher, good for ledge pressure, and it's pretty quick.

Kirin + Ally = ****. I want vids, lol.

I played Brawl+ for a long while yesterday. I can't main Mario in it...it's not fair. He ***** too hard.

Everybody check out the 2nd part of that set between Xero and Bo. Then check out the Mario party thing on his page, lmao.

I played B+ and loved it. Who doesn't like a game thats very balanced where no one can bag on you main cause everyone is equal. Probably there would be no need for tier lists and match-ups because everyone is FREAKING GOD TIER!!!!

In other words, I hope this version becomes more abundant than vBrawl

4th or 5th best character easily.

Sooooo many reliable KO moves it's not funny. Your opponent will not survive past 130% if you know what you're doing. You can Jab cancel into TWO of his KO moves (D-smash and B-throw). Up-smash is godly out of shield or as a Hyphen Smash, and F-smash lets you outrange people.

Only obviously disadvantaged matchups are Marth and G&W. Everyone else is either neutral or in his favor.

So yeah, a lot of people complained that his D-smash in particular is too powerful, due to how easily it gimps near the edge. That's probably taking a nerf.

I was fooling around in training mode...

But a sour spot dash attack combo's into an up smash (on all characters I think I dunno I just tested Chaingrab, and Metaknight.) But if they're too high percents you can read their DI and up smash, or just do a stutter stepped f-smash instead, yeayuzz...we might have a guaranteed K.O set-up xD.

It's pretty rare to see land a dash attack in general, but I dunno...seems like a guaranteed KO set-up. Needs more testing as well.
