B-sticking with Mario is useless. The C-sticks usefulness when it comes to doing aerials (which is VERY important for Mario) heavily out way the ability to use specials with your C-stick. I mean, all it'd be useful for would be caping, and thats pretty easy to do to begin with. It might even be faster to press forward b then reach down to the c-stick (though its very very slight).

Aerials > Specials, when it comes to c-stick.

Just one silly question: does Mario have Dr.Mario's suit among his alternative suits?
Wario has both his classic and his Wario Ware suit, and he is not Mr. Nintendo Superstar.

I have two questions:

What are some uses for forward tilt? Is it one of mario's weak links?

How does neutral aerial fit into the equation? Bair seems to be doing fine for me; so I'm curious why i might want to throw Nair in the mix. Or do I?

I use foward tilt to just put distance in between me and my opponent and as for neutral I only use that when I am facing toward him and I am in the air.

I saw that, and it was coold indeed.
Does he have the black and red Mario Plane suit too?
If you mean does he have a plain black suit then my answer is no but he has a dark brown suit mixed with grey witch isnt half bad.

If you mean does he have a plain red suit then my answer is no but he has his origanl and his fireflower.

If you mean does he have a suit with a mix of red and black then sadly my answer is also no but that would have been kick as s :D

I meant this one! In Super Mario Galaxy he has a suit with black hat, red shirt and black pants that allows him to fly like an airplane.

I just went on youtube and saw his suit it looks awesome but unfortunatly he doesnt have it in his collection of costumes.

anyone know how to deal with MK?
Simple Just use someone with the couter attack. when ever he starts to spam his special moves just use counter and punish him for it. If your talking about using mario then use firebals at a distance use fludd when he spams and use cape when he tries to glide back from a strong hit.

Yeah i was talking about Mario. I secondary Ike an i play with Kriby Rob and Link also. I never have a problem with ike facing MK. I can almost never touch MK with Mario. Thanks for the advice anyway though.

To wavebounce the cape, move forward (You have to have some momentum to be able to wavebounce) while in the air and press the C-stick (Special configuration) the opposite direction and you should get a recoil like effect; this works for his fireballs and the F.L.U.D.D. too but the recoil isn't noticeable.

*You must be in the air to wavebounce*

*B-sticking provides an easier RAR; dash and press the C-stick the opposite direction*

*If you have more questions: http://super-smash-bros.wikia.com/wiki/Wavebouncing*

Unfortunately you can't but there is a way to stutter step without the C-stick (I learned how to do this for the same reason, that I didn't want to give up my C-stick); simply start facing one way then start to turn around and as you are beginning to turn smash forward in your initial direction and it should move you forward just like the stutter step.

*What I did, and still do a bit, is rotate between the C-stick and the B-stick so the conversion for using smash attacks wasn't so harsh*

*Using the B-stick is tough to get used to but it'll be worth the effort if you can get good at doing your smashes without the aid of the C-stick (I use actually like using the C-stick more but I'm trying to get faster with my smashes so I can B-stick effectively)*

*Try taking advantage of the easier RAR too*

*Make B-sticking feel as natural as you can and have fun with it*

B stickings dumb imo atleast for mario you can studder step without the cstick just a tad harder. just do it really fast. You can b stick or wavebounce or whatever it is with out the cstick too just do whatever then press the opposite direction really fast it really isnt all too hard i dont think unless im not getting the full effect, but i seem to be doing just fine with out all of this jargon of b sticking.

Someone asked about dealing with lucas? Just dont fireball as much and make it unpredictable and if you think he'll asbsorb it then just make sure you punish him when he does. Do the basic mario stuff after that and the fludd is actually awesome to use on him when he's trying to recover or trying to do pk tricks because it destroys the pk thunder or pushes off the edge or pushes him away from the pk thunder and other neat tricks so always have a fully charged fludd. Lucas aint too bad too handle.

Link's shield only works if he stays still and you can reflect his projectiles with the cape, just keep moving up carefully with fireballs and cape when necessary, Link is slow so you can punish most of his moves if you stay close. Link is easy to juggle but be careful of his Dair and his Spin Attack.

*Don't underestimate Link's range, he's slow but he's got a lot of range to his attacks*
