Mario's True Combos!

[Judge Judy]

Alright it's time something like this was done so...I took a bunch of time and tested these combos based on what training considers combos and tested them on a human who knows how to DI. I'm going to try to go more in-depth on how to actually make these combos work later, but for now just try these out on different characters and see how they work. I tested these combos on many characters and some of them work at earlier percents than others. Keep in mind that hitstun in Brawl is partially related to knockback so some combos only work around 50+ dmg. Also, this list does not include fireball combos since those go without saying.

Mario's true combos!

"Weak" Dair grounded hitbox to Up B

"Weak" Dair grounded hitbox to Jab

"Weak" Nair to Up B

"Weak" Nair to Jab

"Weak" Nair to Ftilt

"Weak" Nair to Dsmash

"Weak" Nair to Usmash

"Weak" Nair to Dtilt (Honestly, who really cares?)

Uair to Uair; I was really inconsistant on this one but it did show up as a true combo many times

Uair to Nair; ^same as Uair to Uair

Uair to Dair; ^same as above

Uair to Dair to Jab; cool but hella hard to do

Uair to Dair to Up B; very hard to do

Utilt to Up B

AZOMG's contributions:

Uair to Up B

D-air -> U-air (low percents)

Again, I'll try to clean things up with this later and I really need more testing done on Uair combos because they only showed up as combos about 50% of the time.

 

[Veggi]

Cool, can you see if bair will combo into anything, or did you already try that?

 

[Oblique]

No lie this is nice but there all two piece hits. not really a combo but linkable moves (is anything).

These all are true combos, not strings. Anyway, the most practical combos I found were the Uair combos and the Utilt to Up B combo.

I've tried that but so far Bair doesn't have any true combos, still a great juggling move with good follow-ups though.

 

[A2ZOMG]

Add these:

D-air -> U-air (low percents)

U-air -> Up-B

 

[Bobbery]

Ha I love the combo-ness of his uair.
Are there any "true" combos involving fireballs?

 

[Matt07]

Told you down tilt is useful, lol.

 

[SkylerOcon]

At mid percents:

Uair -> Uair -> Dthrow -> Uair -> Uair

Also, Dair grounded to Usmash is a true combo at certain percents.

 

[Judge Judy]

Add these:

D-air -> U-air (low percents)

U-air -> Up-B

Alright, added Uair to Up B. Also, for Dair to Uair, could you give me a better description of how you go from the Dair into the Uair?

At mid percents:

Uair -> Uair -> Dthrow -> Uair -> Uair

That's a string, not a combo. Still good though and hard for opponents to get out of.

Also, Dair grounded to Usmash is a true combo at certain percents.

Really? It never worked for me, I'll have to test it some more later.

Yah, read the first paragraph lol.

 

[Matador]

What does a weak Dair mean. Could someone show me an example in a vid or explain it to me?

 

[Judge Judy]

Just the grounded hitbox, excluding the last hit that does 7 dmg and knocks people upward.

 

[SkylerOcon]

Disregard that. I meant to put Dair -> Fsmash.

 

[Judge Judy]

Disregard that. I meant to put Dair -> Fsmash.

Are you sure it's a true combo? I really haven't been able to combo of a "weak" Dair other than a Jab or Up B.

 

[SkylerOcon]

I manage to pull it off a lot. I'll try to get a video of me doing it.

Just check if it's a true combo in training mode.

 

[Bobbery]

Yah, read the first paragraph lol.

haha whoops I was kind of in a rush so I just looked over the combos without reading the opening paragraph

 

[SkylerOcon]

Checked.

It's not really a 'true' combo, but it would take godly reflexes to be able to dodge it. You land the fsmash practically the moment your opponent is able to move again.

So, it's not inesapable, but it's as close as you're going to get. Landing lag also causes opponents to have more lag time added to them, so yeah.

I'd say it fits the bill.

 

[A2ZOMG]

Alright, added Uair to Up B. Also, for Dair to Uair, could you give me a better description of how you go from the Dair into the Uair?

At low percents, the final hit of the D-air COMBOS into like any double jumped aerial attack. This is because the D-air has crazy low ending lag, and the last hit of it has high vertical knockback ( = high hitstun).

This video is a great example of that combo in use. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PEQlzBQ4w58&feature=channel_page

Yah, but I'm only listing true combos. We could make another thread on strings and juggles though.

So, does it show up as a combo in training mode?

 

[ThatGuy]

SH Dair to DJ -> UpB at low %'s is a combo I believe.

 

[Teh Future]

if you fast fall bair it can combo into a jab, uptilt, or dsmash at low percents. Regardless of whether it shows up as a combo n training mode, if you perform it correctly it will work.

 

[A2ZOMG]

Yeah. I kinda discovered this one months ago lol.

 

[Judge Judy]

Alright, I'll add it.

I've already got something like that on the list and please check combos via training mode since it's mainly how I based this list.

If it doesn't show up as a combo in training mode it means that it's probally just a string.

Edit: Don't mind me - I'm an imbecile...

 

[Da Man]

Are Down Throw to Up-B & Dash to U-Smash good combos?

I do them quite a lot.

Those are strings/juggles, not combos.
