What's Mario's most reliable finisher?

[???????]

Mario is definitely combo orientated but does he have any reliable finishers that don't require a setup? I've heard his f-air, f-smash, and u-smash are good killing moves but how low can Mario go as far low percentile KO moves?

 

[Mike Hawk]

FLUDD that is all.

 

[fazares]

his n-air(first frames),b-air,u-air(more horizontal knockback compared to ssb64/ssbm),d-smash serve the purpose as well....i m using those ,along the other moves u cited previousl ,to get my kills...:-)

 

[Psydon]

Mario's kill moves are:

All smash attacks
Nair
Bair
Fair
Up+B
Uair (at higher percents than the above moves)

His b-throw doesn't kill anymore except at really high percentages; the throw angle is too high. His u-throw can also kill, but again, at really high percentages.

 

[WafflKong]

Mario's Up+B can kill? Wow.

Also, what about his tilts? Any of those have any kill potential?

 

[fazares]

up tilt and f-tilt(very high percent)

 

[Drunken_Dragon]

in order of highest knockback:

fsmash
usmash
dsmash
fair/bair
utilt
uair
then i dont know lol

and yeah, bthrow throws waaaaay higher.

u forgot the n-air(first frames)
and its way easier killing with the u-air than the u-tilt....

Yeah it can kill............

Pretty cool vid there.

 

[fazares]

we are talking about ssbb arent we???^^^

 

[wa-kingdom]

fludd....ive actually kill quite alot with that device...and of course the meteor smash....but the the up smash is the best

 

[Agent 47]

mario's fair, bair, dsmash, usmash, and fsmash.

 

[WassupJB]

up smash is mario's strongest move, though not making it his most reliable kill move. i primarily use uair, dair, fsmash, bair...all the sh.t's everybody else is saying. i really use uair a lot though.

 

[fazares]

his up-smash is a reliable kill move at high percents...i use it a lot....

 

[Mario_PHD]

Haha that melee video... I dont think that is evidence that the up B is a good KO move... maybe when it only takes 5 feet to knock out a player with 150% horizontally, but besides that...

In brawl Mario's edge guarding moves, like the bair and fair (spike 'em) moves work good even at low damages.

 

[BBQ°]

Usually what I do is approach my oppenent with short hop fireballs. They will usually shield, and by the time I land and f-smash their shield will be gone, and so will they

Or, if they don't place up their shield, the fireball will stun them, and usually give you enough time to forward smash.

Oh yeah, I also cape to turn my opponent around, then forward smash. They get confused

 

[mario smash]

it there any other finishers

 

[iMichael]

Up smash because of the low ceilings.....nuff said.

 

[acojan]

when i bair or dsmash i usually do not kill yet so fludd+cape does the job..... this is at around 80%
fsmash is unreliable due to the sweetspot but has good range with stutter step and it's not that hard to aim.
hyphen usmash is great but kinda predictable i guess.....

i still like bair/dsmash + fludd & cape = epic edgeguard !! w00t

 

[smashbro29]

smash attacks tilts at slightly more damage a good plan is to take someone above 120 throw them up and up-tilt it can kill but you'll want to be as high as possible
