Metaknight does great with mario. Mario can easily and often combo upward, and metaknight is a very strong punish character who's up b kills very early if near the roof. when mario combos them its like meta's getting a punish off so he does alot of dmg from marios strings and a chance for a relatively early kill with his up b.

Me and my friend also discovered what we call the Fluddnado. All you need is metaknight to catch an opponent in his tornado, then you fludd him. This has a unique property of pushing his tornado(dragging your oponent often) upwards, and tornado has high base knockback,so you push them to the roof and kill them very early. This can kill at 0% from a mario backthrow into tornado into fludd depending on the character you're fighting and the stage you're on.

Heres a few vids from the last tourney we teamed at, we pulled the fluddnado off vs several teams too!

EDIT:Oh, i also sometimes team with my cousins villager which works out relatively well, that also has a solid gimmick as well, though its much harder to pull off. Villager can plant the tree, and chop it down and if you cape it villager can pocket it. This is a 1 hit KO if villager can land it, it also instant breaks shields. Fighting competent teams though it is hard to pull off since they will keep up pressure on you to stop you from pulling it off.

I've been watching XeroXen and SofaKing lately, and apparently Mario and Luigi make a very good team.

They're brothers, what did you expect? In all seriousness, I don't do doubles so I can't help you. Couldn't resist the joke.

Mario and Bowser work well together too. They even have a suicide tactic which involves Bowser using his default or custom 2 side B and then Mario using FLUDD to push them offstage. A way more effective Bowsercide.

Mario and Sonic work well together as well, easy gimps with fludd to spring or cape to spring, also Mario's fireball helps Sonic approach
