Your Mario is interesting. Pretty creative actually. I watched your first vid vs ZSS. I'm impressed by the combos and your use of SH D-air as the combo starter.

That vid, I just thought you didn't do enough B-air. There were some situations like 0:37 where if you did a SH B-air instead of rolling away, you would have done better.

 

[HeroMystic]

Lol, why does it seem like whenever I post videos there's a bunch of other Mario's that do?

 

[Mario_ 101]

basically wut A2ZOMG said and also u should use f tilt more its a gud move for combos and setups

 

[KirinBlaze]

Yeah. There's alot of things I try and do, and I usually focus on one thing and do it the most. Which is bad. I tend to play worse online since I've been doing nothing but offline tourneys lately.

I think it was Kanzaki or Matador I saw that uses SHDair>Dair in a video agaisnt a Samus. I found it pretty intresting and started using it. Then I thought of using other aerials out of it and came up with SHDair>DJUair>Uair/Bair. The UpB usually never happens though. I also like using Utilt>Utilt>Utilt>UpB. That's a funny one.

Because we love you..?

 

[A2ZOMG]

SH D-air at low percents is a true combo starter. I mean, it has ZERO ending lag after the hitbox, so you can immediately double jump -> any aerial after a SH D-air at low percents and it will count as a combo in training mode.

This makes me really wish SH D-air had set knockback.

 

[Mario_ 101]

kirin i'd like to face u somtime lol

 

[KirinBlaze]

kirin i'd like to face u somtime lol

Sure, that'd be no problem. I'm in school right now and will probably be practicing for the tourney tommorow, later on this evening. Does next week sound alright?

 

[Mario_ 101]

k next week is koo

Indeed!

In any case, you seem to have a good grasp on Mario's aerial combos, but I can't fully judge you due to the fact that you cake-walked all those matches (except for the Mario ditto, which I didn't watch because I dislike dittos :|).

What I'm seeing thus far is that your utilization of your ground game could use some work. All I saw the majority of the time was U-tilt, D-throw, and D-Smash, but U-tilt especially as you continuously tried to roll to approach and use a u-tilt lock. Mario's ground game is not as important as his aerial game, but I believe utilizing it to it's fullest will give you a better pressure game overall. I'd love to see jab cancels and F-tilts more, but the main thing is that you should stop relying on U-tilt whenever you're close to an opponent.

Try to use N-air as a combo finisher whenever you get done with a U-tilt chain. It'll add some damage and also knock away your opponent so you have some breathing room.

That's about all I saw from those vids. Still can't believe that ZSS threw away her armor pieces, lol.

You should watch the Mario ditto. D: I think it's where I did the best out of those four.

I'm very defensive against ZSS at the start of a game. xD The last time I played that person I ended up doing 60% just off caping those items and finished off his first stock without taking damage thanks to them. I guess he was afraid.

I do jab cancel, it's just it's not as easy to pull off with Mario as compared to someone like Link or Luigi, both who I abuse the jab cancel with. Jab>Grab/Downsmash is the most I use grab more then downsmash since alot of people enjoying holding that shield button down and because of that I've started jab canceling into aerials and jabing and just walking away and coming back with a stutter Fsmash. In the Mario ditto I do a few Jab Cancel aerials like Jab>Uair>Bair or Jab>Jab>Walk away>Bair. And yes, Wifi johns. It's alot harder for me to do things there since I've been doing nothing but offline tourneys for the past month when ALL I used to do was WiFi. But thanks for the tips, I'll be sure to make use of that Ftilt.

 

[MBlaze]

>_> And that's why I hate dittos, that vid made me look like an absolute scrub..

 

[vato_break]

when i buy a wii, i'll ditto you...

SHDair>DJUair>Uair/Bair. <I do this alot also

Alright, sounds good.

 

[KirinBlaze]

I've got a few more videos coming. I just saved the replays from some Mario dittos with Luffy thanks to the extended replay code. These videos include more Ftilt, intresting combos, and MOAR UPB OOS. Just for you, Hero. ;D

Also, Bair spam near a ledge frightens people. lolol.

 

[Matt07]

Nice Mario Kirin, it was fun to watch you play. You use a good use of your aerial moves, but ground moves are good too mix up your game.

 

[KirinBlaze]

Yeah, I've been working on the ground game trying to use more Ftilts, UpB OOS's, and Jab Cancels and things like that. Ftilt right out of a spot dodge seems like a good GTFO move for some reason. A friend did it to me a few times in our Mario dittos, it came out rather quickly.

Does anyone have any good matches vs DDD. His infinite is upsetting me and id like to know a good way around it.

I'm sure Monk and Boss have some good ones. Anyway, planking and camping is the key to avoiding DDD's grab.

Just camp with your fireballs. I like to fake my Bairs too. I bair then DI away from DDD so when he tries to shield grab he gets a stutter step Fsmash to the face. Don't play overly agressive, play gay, campy, and defenfsive, did I mention to play gay?
