How do you guys start up combos. With me, I usually just start up a U-tilt spam until about 30%, then I follow up with either a U-air or B-air.

But I should definitely find out other ways to start up combos. So, what do you guys do?

Ah yes, I forgot about the fireball.

I use that too, but hardly notice it when I do. >_>

Yeah fireballs are really good,they really are your only good approach/combostarter while not taking any risks.
Fireball>nair
or if they shield you can grab then down throw>more combos.
even if they jump over them you can fludd them or something.

Also mario's ground to aerial game isn't so great only uptilt,upsmash,dthrow are really relyable sometimes upair.

Grab -> Dthrow -> uptilt from there on....

Bair -> Uair -> uptilt from there on....

Uair2x -> uptilt from there....

Those are just some of my start ups.....

Note: There really are no combos in this game ^_^

I'll usually start with an Uptilt, Fireball, or SHDair.

Utilt>Grab>Dthrow>Uair>Uair/Nair>Downsmash.
The last two on that one don't always work, but trying never hurts.

Utilt>Utilt>Dsmash.
Number of Utilts depending on the characters weight, I've done 3 to Ike before the Dsmash.

Utilt>Utilt>Utilt>UpB.
This actually works really well since noone really expects it I guess. I just Utilt to around 30% then use his UpB. Ends up doing close to or a little over 40%.

SHFireball>AAA/Grab/Smash.

SHDair>Double Jump>Uair>Uair/Bair.

SHUair>Uair>Utilt>Grab>Dthrow>Uair>Uair>Dsmash.
This one works REALLY well on large characters like DK, Bowser, and DDD. The end might not always work but I've pulled it off a number of times. It works on Samus and other tall characters too, but it works really great on the larger characters.

I use Jab Canceling and stuff to start combos too but those are the more flashy ones I like using.
