Mario's Metagame Analysis (Updated as of 3/06/2010)

[BSP]

Most pros have MK as backup, so Mario is screwed anyway unfortunately.

 

[HeroMystic]

That's why we also have ragequit MK as backup too.

 

[Sleek Media]

That's why I have ZSS. Rainbow Cruise? Go ahead. Make my day.

YO! I found a total legit use for d-tilt!!!
It has better range than f-tilt, and comes out pretty fast too. If your opponent is hanging on the ledge and trying to pull off some ledge mindgame shenanigans, and you're pretty close to the ledge you can just d-tilt him. If you space it perfectly so that it you just BARELY hit him with the very edge of the hitbox he will be WTF surprised and be popped up to the perfect height for a angled up f-smash, or a d-smash, depending on the percent.

That actually sounds like it might be legit. Dtilt is a move meant to pop up the opponent at high percents, so Pierce as told me.

Forgot to mention that people don't usually DI it since they're handing from a ledge, so its even better!
I just played a few games, but I didn't go Mario for most of them and didn't get a chance to pull it off when I did.

 

[HeroMystic]

I heard about that multiple times actually, but never bothered trying it myself because well, it is D-tilt.

I'll be going to a tourney tomorrow so we'll see how that goes.

Good luck hero.

[Matt07]

Nice, I just wish down-tilt had less end lag .

Goodluck, Hero! Do you have a stream for it?

 

[HeroMystic]

Nah, no stream. Replays at best.

 

[condemned_soul]

[Inferno3044]

Jada Fire.

 

[condemned_soul]

oh....the "actress". **** i wish i could make a movies with her

 

[Forever Forgotten]

Can't believe he forgot RAR with B-Air. Whether or not someone said that already, I don't care; I really don't feel like looking through 25 pages to check.

 

[Kanzaki]

No but yuo rather bump up a rather old thread. Nice.

 

[HeroMystic]

No but yuo rather bump up a rather old thread. Nice.

And considering Mario's metagame is rather stagnant it's not gonna get updated anytime soon.

I did decide to add on a tidbit about RAR B-air since it was mentioned.

 

[fromundaman]

I figured RAR Bair was pretty much common sense TBH, but okay.
