Usage of Dtilt?

[KaDeYa]

When the 3DS came out, I mained Mario alongside PAC-MAN and--
Eer... let me get to the point; Do any of you use Mario's Dtilt? If so how often?

I'm not usual with Marios since I've stopped using him for a long time and don't talk much in my Crew about him because there's only 1 Mario main in the group. Like Uptilt, It has combo potential, especially if you're looking forward to grabbing your opponent afterwards. I've been trying to pick Mario back up (trying to look for a main besides Sonic) and I've been using Dtilt more than Uptilt. Is that a good thing/idea? I still use uptilt but I use it less than Dtilt.

Also; any good Dtilt combos I probably don't know about?

First topic I created, I usual get off topic sometimes so sorry if I did, thanks if you reply. And sorry if there's also a topic already like this. Thanks Mario mains!

Mario's D-tilt is a good move for stopping grabs, mostly. I don't really use it for much else, but if you sense a dashgrab coming, D-tilt is one of your best responses to that.

D-tilt is a good move. Stopping grabs is only part of what it does.

What else is it good for?

Check this.

Also D-tilt is good to catch landings as well, while avoiding attacks through hurtbox manipulation (crouching).

If XeroXen wasn't drunk he'd explain further, alas...

I'll say some stuff tomorrow when I've recovered.

down tilt is a good move. when someone is on the edge without invincibility, marios down tilt can reach and hit them. im pretty sure it works on certain characters, if not, most. very good stage edge guarding tool.

Nice to see I'm not the only one using Dtilt. FG Marios never use it (or the ones I'm facing never use it.)

DTilt is good in this combo: DThrow, Dtilt, DSmash. You can also do DThrow, DTilt, and string Utilts. You might be able to do Dthrow, DTilt, FSmash, but I'm not sure. DTilt is good for combos.

Dtilt is nice for popping up your opponent for a follow up, at higher percents you can use Dtilt and if they air dodge you can catch them with an Usmash.

You can also use DTilt to catch people who are rolling. Usually, I find myself rolling behind my opponent, and then they roll behind me, and we keep trying to get behind each other. DTilt is a good way to attack your opponent before they can roll behind. Basically, you roll behind, and quickly use DTilt.

I personally use it to combo when I feel people are getting tired of my never-ending up-tilts.

I just went into training to try out some combos, the CPU was Mario:

Very Low Percentages (less than ~10%)
D-Throw > D-tilt > U-tilt > F-tilt
D-Throw > D-tilt > D-tilt > F-tilt

Low Percentages (less than ~30%)
D-tilt > D-tilt > F-tilt
D-tilt > D-tilt > Jab Combo
D-tilt > D-tilt > Sliding U-Smash
(Add or take out D-tilts based on percent)

Mid Percentage (over ~30%), when opponent gets popped up into the air
D-tilt > U-tilt > [insert air combo, ex: U-air > U-air > Up-B] << starting ~30% to ~50%
D-tilt > U-air > [insert air combo, ex: U-air > U-air > Up-B] << starting ~60%
D-tilt > Up-B

I did this on a CPU, so of course the percentages may be a bit off. There's DI to consider, air dodging, etc., but these should give you a good idea.

At very low percentages I've found that you can extend your combos:

DThrow->DTilt->DTilt->UTilt->UTilt

DTilt is a good move. Also good at putting you enemies up in the air at high percentages.
