why wa smario weakened?

[mariofanpm12]

i know he got some buffs do to brawl's physics and his amazing edgegaurding abilty (amongst a few other small things) but i wonder why he was weakened. any quick comparison between melee and brawl mario can show that. i wonder why... comparison between melee and brawl mario (oops i comparison, melee, and brawl in the same sentence...)

Weakened? The only thing that's genuinely worse in Brawl is his b-throw. Everything else is either better or the virtually the same.

Trying to compare Melee with Brawl is pointless...

 

[MarioMCP]

Yeah, different game is totally different.

 

[boss8]

there is no comparison...mario is a combo machine as usual.......any questions???

 

[hippiedude92]

You can't compare Melee and Brawl. But in general Mario ***** so hard... hands down...

 

[BrianTheLion]

brawl is ok melee is better dont compare

I played Mario pretty aggressively in the past games. I think that between the general floatiness, buffing of dodging/shielding, and Mario's overall KO power reduction makes him different to play.

Mr. Average-All-Round feels like a light weight in Brawl, to me.

Mario isn't weaker in Brawl. Mario really doesn't have any trouble scoring KOs, if that's what you're trying to get at. Mario's Smashes I think are all significantly stronger. The F-smash especially, the nonsweetspot is stronger. U-smash kills at 120% reliably give or take some damage depending on weight class. Just keep a smash attack undiminished and you won't have trouble KOing.

The B-throw also isn't weaker in Brawl, but simply a lot less likely to kill thanks to diminishing returns.

The only thing different is his downB and dair, he still owns.
