No Melee?! D:

Anyway, your secondary is MK? Then there's your answer...

Spoiler

Play Melee (yay for memes)

I don't have a copy of melee, i still have the common courtesy and sense to prefer melee.

Don't sweat it, I'm just jokin' XD

This thread Knees moar konfeedense (You just got to think positive, and I'm sure you'll do fine).

Also play Barlw.

which main is mario's worst matchup?
Look at my sig to see my mains

 

[Skrah]

Well... MK is broken, so your set for that match XD.

Although if you don't want to use MK, maybe marth or Zelda/shiek since his Fludd wont affect your recovery,

wth you're worried about facing a senseless person?
that says something about you.

 

[Jimnymebob]

Your rival will always have an advantage over whoever you pick.



However, if I'm reading this right, and they don't know a lot of AT's, then pick either Marth, MK, or Zelda.
Toon Link could be punished due to Mario's cape, so you'd have to play a more offensive game.

Marth is a great character, and is reliable, MK is MK, and Zelda could punish Mario fairly easy, and she has great options when her opponent is off the edge.

 

[Scott!]

I main Marth and second Zelda. Personally, I'd go Marth, but I'm more comfortable with him. Zelda would be fine too, though. The only thing to worry about with Zelda is to make sure you recover straight to the edge, or far enough onto the stage so he can't use FLUDD to push you back off. But from what you've said, this shouldn't be too much of an issue. Go with whoever you feel most comfortable with, though.

Screw brawl dude.
If you really wanna fight to the death play Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo.

King Dedede.

Pay particular attention to the grab button, and bingo, you hard counter him.

[Cease Tick]

Go on youtube and watch some good Marth users play. See what they do in certain situations. There's probably a video thread on the Marth boards, that would be a good place to start.
Best of luck

Thanks guys, I think I will go with Zelda. How conveniant that I main Zelda AND Shiek. Maybe I should mindgame him into counterpicking shiek. Like he knows what a counterpick is.

Back on topic, can I have some tips?
such as:
good counterpicks
good mindgames
good mindset
techniques I should know
etc.

main question for now:
considering my mains, should I B - Stick, Tilt - Stick, or Regular? (I am going to use zelda)

 

[Denzi]

Well if you're using Zelda, I'd first of all suggest regular C-Stick. It's not only the best option for attacking, but it also enables SDI.

As far as things to work on go, You should learn kill moves, what to punish with, how to approach, recoveringwith/aiming Farore's Wind, correct methods of Din's Fire spamming (yes there's a wrong way to do it), and spacing on Lightning Kicks/her Spike.
