What's your playstyle?

[Falcon BRUNCH]

In other words, do you play defensively, offensively, or something else?

I personally like to play defensively at the start of a match to see what my opponent is going to do. Then I adapt to their style. Like, if they play extremely aggressively I'll shield more and attempt shield grabs. If they're more on the defensive side, I'll go on the offensive and combo/edgeguard/etc.

(Also, this is my first post! ^_^)

My playstyle: Uncrappy.



Yes. I just made up my own word =]

But my playstyle is all edge guarding, I only stand at the edges, and spam fireballs... I'll only play at the middle if my percent is high. And when I say ALL edge guarding, if I happen to grab them near the edge, and they're at 0%, I'll still throw them off =]

 

[hippiedude92]

I'm all about aggressive (yes it's a bad thing to be always ._.) I love comboing with Mario. Whenever I get a jab to dthrow to utilts and upairs. I feel like I'm in the zone. When I'm in the zone I get very combo-istic (is that a word? lol) It's almost hard to be defensive but Mario has a reliable Fireball retreat tactic which i like.

Lol I just played my first ICs today. I learned how to be defensive, camper, and spacing (meaning not getting shieldgrabbed from that effin infinite) Marios fireballs = pwnage

Mario = ****

 

[Oblique]

I fight defensively since most chars beat me in speed and power. Keep a good distance with fire balls or b airs. Then when i get an opening smash attack. I stage spike great recovery users like Rob. Also, i like to use the fire balls to start up combos. I got an Aggressive/Defender fighting style (if that's possible).


And i agree Mario's fireballs = pwnage

 

[vato_break]

Depends what character i am playing
(really does)
i am not going to play a certine way for all characters
that is not a good strat.

 

[GHNeko]

I play just like how the character is designed. All around. I dthrow to uair. I stutter step. SH Fireball. All of that. I do admit there is a slight tilt towards agressive, but only so I can pull of combos and myndgaemz.

This. If you play over aggresively against a Dedede, I can practically guarentee you'll get the crap kicked out of you while playing over defensely against a Diddy isn't too smart either.

 

[Matador]

Playstyle = play to win

If I'm losing, or my current strat isn't working, I play as gay as possible till things go my way.

Is that even possible with Mario? O_o; I can understand Toon Link (Arrow, bomb, and boomerang spam), Olimar (smash attacks and shield grabs), or Metaknight (pretty much 4/5 of his moveset) but Mario?

 

[ddonaldo]

midway for me, retreating fireballs and b-airs for a while but get really upclose and agressive once I get an opening, usually with a neutral b, d and b air

 

[Hero Fly Chao]

Bottom line, I try to play unpredictably and change up my strategy frequently. If I can't outwit my opponent, I'm done for...
How aggressive or defensive I play depends on my opponent, but on almost every enemy I like to lead with the good ol' SH Fireball approach. Leads nicely into an ftilt or utilt, or even a dthrow to uair when my opponent is at low %s. Mario is a great defensive character so I tend to utilize his mobility + irratating moves even at high % to frustrate my opponent into a mistake.
I try to capitalize on my opponent's cooldown lag or whiffed moves when I can, too.

I just play real campy.

Y'know, retreating Bairs, ledgestalling, fireball spam.
Pisses them off and makes me feel good XD

 

[Violent-nin]

I have no real "style", I just fight accordingly to the situation and my opponent.

Here is a thread that covers a few examples of Mario's various playstyles: http://smashboards.com/archive/index.php/t-159957.html

 

[boss8]

i create....not follow....

 

[eyestrain92]

I'm not going to say I have a perfect offense or defense. As Mario, I just prefer to maintain range on the opponent with fireballs and hit and run for the most part. Although everyone alters their style with different opponents, for the most part I play to opportunity when I can. When they give chase, it's time to counter with a combo or some knockback.

 

[Matt07]

I usually play aggresive at first, and if I'm getting 'owned' I usually start to play defensively. I consider myself about 70% aggresive and 30% defensive for most of my matches match.

 

[Mario_ 101]

I just kill my opponent using all my knowledge and applying it to the situations i encounter.

That's pretty much it. I use Bair a lot though...

 

[PKNintendo]

A balance of offensive and defense. I like to use Mario's aerials more. Fludd is my favorite move for Mario. Especially when you edge guard with it.
