More Meteors

[jmanxiv]

Lately I have change my approach towards mario's fair, before I would face my opponent and try to fair them while i am out the stage. Now I run towards edge pivot and jump towards my opponent while facing the stage and I fair them. I have seen an increase in spikes and even early kills. Pivoting a fair can really catch opponents off guard, if then quickly. what do you guys think?

It can catch opponets off gaurd, but it leaves you very open to attacks since fair's hit box is in front of mario. Atleast you can still sour spot it if you use it facing the opponet. Only time I would pivot a Fair would be to be flashy lol...

It's a good mix up. l know for a fact Bo does it alot.

I, for one, hate the sourspot on Fair, and this kinda remedies that issue.

Plus...approaching backwards is always good for Mario. That said, gotta pick and choose when you do this...

I used to do this on Melee...10x flashier. Still looks sexy on Brawl.

It can be good to do that so that you can hit someone's blindspot while they recover.

Spiking with Mario however still isn't that good anyway except against Snake.

-I really like Fair, because it's our best aerial in terms of shieldstun and double spike or even triple spike are things that not many Marios do x9-
