Mario's General Chat Thread

[Matt07]

No, I didn't get spammed to death, it was much worse, I will post it in the Q&A thread.

That Mario is like our Mario's, really aggresive style compared to air-based style, I totally stopped using b-airs like I used to for some reason, it seems to work wonders against Bowser.

 

[HeroMystic]

Actually the Bowser just didn't bother shielding. He could've shielded the 2nd string but he tried to retaliate instead.

 

[Judge Judy]

My strategy against Bowser is FLUDD him if he tries to approach me and if he starts shielding I'll toss out a fireball or two. As far as actually atking, I perfer Mario's Bair and Dair; Bair when atking him from some distance and Dair when up close. Double Bairs in one SH cover a lot of ground and it juggles decently if Bowser is hit by the first one. Dair to Uair is nice up close since it has no ending lag and pressures his shield nicely. The biggest concern when atking is Bowser's grab since he has great grab range and many grab release combos.

 

[Matt07]

Judge Judy, you should get some vids of you playing, I've never seen you play, and you sound like you know FLUUD inside and out, and wanna see what crazy stuff you can do with it .

 

[~Peachy~]

Hmmmm... are there really that little in number for Mario Mains?

That's sad.....

 

[Matt07]

Hmm, well there are quite a few number of Mario mains maybe 15+ that post here. Some days it's fairly active, others it quite quiet (I hope I didn't get those two mixed up .)Come stick around with us ~Peachy~, the more the merrier .

I don't have an SD card or a cam >_>

 

[Matt07]

Aww, that sucks, hmm. I could ask a friend to record it for you with a Dazzle, but it all depends on his decision, but we should see if he could do that for us.

Edit: I have a question, I'm getting a lot of support that I'm being to predictable, but it's hard to switch up my game. What do you guys usually do? Do you go from being in the air for however long, then to focusing on the ground? Being unpredictable has been a hurdle I've been trying to get over for months now.

I know what you mean, I always do two aerials in a short hop but I always get shield grabbed...

Have you tried double Bairs or Uair to Cape to Bair/Uair/Dair?

 

[The Trump Card]

Have you tried double Bairs or Uair to Cape to Bair/Uair/Dair?

Yes, I've tried double Bairs, but Uair to Cape to Bair/Uair/Dair is hard to do consistantly.

I use all of Mario's abilities.

The only thing that I do that's predictable is a U-tilt lock. Other than that, I always mix up my game unless I'm guaranteed a combo with U-air. I may shieldgrab if I predict a spotdodge, I may turn around and B-air instead of U-air (recommended for opponents that can protect themselves from below), or I may even stay behind and fireball to piss em off.

There's A LOT you can do with Mario. Never limit yourself.

BTW Judy, I gotta thank you for the FLUDD suggestion against Luigi. I just played against a Luigi and it helped a BUNCH (He still won because he started spamming F-Smash for kills at the end. T_T). It gave me so many openings for U-air combos and F-Smashes.

Seriously guys, use FLUDD against Luigi.

Well, the Mario boards do seem quite normal compared to some other messed up character boards. (That shall remain nameless).

Thanks, but we all have our 'moments' from time to time .

I tried doing new stuff with Mario, I thought I had super armour frames when you use FLUUD right away, but I was proven wrong, I tried f-throw against Metaknight to see if it could tech grab, no luck. I tried a lot of things but nothing .

 

[HeroMystic]

Remember the J~Prep vs Boss thread?

 

[Matt07]

Remember the J~Prep vs Boss thread?

Haha yea, but the thread was unactive after a week .

So is Super Mario Galaxy really fun? I think I want that game, but I dunno.

 

[TheFast]

I was wondering the same thing as Matt07, also I think this general thread is turning out pretty good ^.^

 

[HeroMystic]

Super Mario Galaxy is tons fun, but it's really easy and lacks a lot of difficulty. ._.

It still doesn't beat Super Mario 64.

 

[Matador]

Super Mario Galaxy was one of the best games I've played in a long time, it felt just like 64. Definitely a smart buy. I'd tell you it's easy, but there are so many parts in that game I wouldn't do again because of how many tries it took me

Prolly the best game on the Wii.

....Yea...I said it

 

[Matador]

Pffffffffft!

You got all the stars?

Edit: Screw double posts

 

[HeroMystic]

You got all the stars?

Yes, both times. All 121.

EDIT: I'm a Mario fanboy, so yeah.

 

[Matt07]

, Okay sweet, even if it's somewhat easy, it'll probably take me forever to beat because I play it for a bit, then go back to Brawl, it's practically stopped me from playing other Wii games.

 

[Matador]

Yes, both times. All 121.

Good **** XD

Yeah...that and Zelda TP let me down a bit in the difficulty department. Still mad fun though

Little Big Planet is the best game I've played in a long while.

 

[TheFast]

My friend said that game looks like the stupidest **** ever and will never alow it to be played on his ps3 so i cant try it T.T

 

[Matt07]

I used to think Spore was a 'dumb' game, but after seeing it, it kinda changed me mind. Developers put a lot of time into those kind of games, so I learnt how to respect the game, and the effort put into it .

 

[SkylerOcon]

I hate people like that. Just because the game was obviously made to visually appeal to a younger audience, the gameplay couldn't be better. It's been getting perfect scores left and right. Your friend is probably one of those people who dislike something just because it looks 'kiddy' when its insanely awesome.

 

[hippiedude92]

I think pokemanz is pretty hardcore. Do you hate me for loving a 'younger audience' game? :]

 

[Mario_ 101]

lol u guys aren't even talking about mario anymore lol. i think super paper mario is too easy. i beat it without a game over.

 

[Matt07]

Haha, I played Pokemon...but not competitively. Knowing 450 pokemon match-up's? No thank you.

Never played Super Paper Mario xD, I need to play some Mario games, .

 

[HeroMystic]

Super Paper Mario was kinda easy, but hey, some of those puzzles were hard to get around.

I found it extremely fun though, despite the difficulty.

EDIT: Heading to tournament.

 

[Matt07]

Hm...HeroMystic, should be back soon. Can't wait to here about his results!

So I played against a Dedede, and spammed Fireballs, like severely on Rainbow Cruise, wow I'm suprised I won, I must say.

 

[HeroMystic]

Aww... I was thought about.

 

[HeroMystic]

Whoa, since when was this stickied?

And jeez. The boards are so slow today. Kinda annoying.

 

[BoTastic!]

SBR discussed Mario and i believe Overswarm gave him a good description. :D

 

[Matt07]

Yes they did have a very good discussion about Mario.

But I wonder what FLUUD does to Rob's recovery has Overswarm said, lol I don't even bother using FLUUD or Cape offstage against him .

Oh, I want Mario to stay low tier. More of accomplishment beating higher tiers with him .

Edit: Thanks for the Sticky guys.

 

[hippiedude92]

Do we really need a sticky for a general chat thread? O-o. SBR was eh... the discussion for Mario went faster then luigi's lol.

 

[HeroMystic]

That's mainly because all they talked about was 'zomg Luigi's F-smash pwns'.

Overswarm knew plenty about Mario just like what I figured he would, but he along with everyone else? Not entirely.

I seriously stared at the screen blankly when I read that they said Mario's fireball was his best ability he had in his moveset.

 

[hippiedude92]

His gimping potential is meh, considering his recovery is also meh. His cape and fludd can do well when used properly... but generally only against characters you can edgeguard without. So you can fludd Ike away so he can't up+b. Big deal, no one else has issues with him either. His fludd does give ROB problems as it totally messes with the amount of fuel he uses. His cape is still great at edgeguarding, but there aren't many good recoveries that are still capable of being caped! Snake, D3, G&W, ROB... they all do fine. MK is difficult to cape as well.

On another note, using his up+b to kill by hitting with the last hit is pretty awesome. You can get some ridiculously low % kills on PS1 with it.

Personally that's what made me star blankly into space tbh.

 

[Matador]

I honestly don't get what people are talking about when they say his recovery is below average...How do you fastfall an attack like Dair and easily recover? And horizontal recovery? I only have problems when hit at that ridiculous angle by the Spacies or Zelda's Dsmash ONLY because when I make it back, they're ledgehogging. Same deal with someone like Peach or TL right?

 

[HeroMystic]

It's because they don't feel like working to recover unlike Metaknight's or G&W,
