Mario Training

[F. Stein]

So, I'm new to any kind of serious play with Mario and I really want to pick him up as my secondary. This is what I have put together for my training routine so far, I book an hour in a library study room for a couple of days each week to sit down and practice his basics. Right now, here is what I do. What else can I add so that I get really familiar with what the plumber has to offer?

Mario’s Workout Routine:

What other kinds of things can I practice on my own?

What kinds of chain grabs do I need to be proficient at? I can already Jump Cancel grab, so how can I practice applying the technique in my training?

Nice, I also recently started a pretty small training regimen for Doc that includes stuff like practicing SH WD Bairs, upB cancels, ledgedashes, combos I see in videos, CGs/throw setups etc.
If you have the 20XX hackpack you can practice stuff like spacing your aerials and ftilt/uptilt on an opponent set to nair/grab OoS
Another thing to practice is WD uptilts, the joystick movement is actually a bit tricky, especially in the middle of a match
