Would the ability to glide with the cape have been a good Mario feature?

[The_Altrox]

I put this in my blog awhile ago. Some Mario users liked it. As a new Mario user, I think it would have been good, and can be used in the next game, should it ever be made.

Mario's recovery got super gimped when he lost the tornado spin. Some think FLUDD should be removed and replaced, but I think it should stay. After all, who doesn't love the satisfaction of making a premature KO with a non-damaging move? It has it's uses.
What should become a new recovery is the cape, and not by repeatedly pressing the side B (unless you want to for reflectrion.) You should be able to hold B when in midair, and if you hold it long enough, Mario does the famous cape glide, which he can also use Up-B or an attack from, but can't use the cape again till he lands. Such a move may give him an advantage among his fierce opponents.

opinions?

His recovery is good enough, especially with Brawl's engine. New features are always neat but the game's already out, so whatever. We could hypothetically think of all these other tricks they could have added (heck he had tons of forms in Mario 3) but we're not going to get much out of this discussion in the end.

 

[Matt07]

Nah, I personally think Mario good the way he is. Also Mario is meant to be a jack of all trades/not too good or not to bad skills for a character, and giving him a super good recovery would well...not make him even =P.

Although that is a good idea, it'll be one that'll just stay in Super Mario World.

 

[Judge Judy]

If you wanted to give Mario a recovery boost without compromising the rest of his moveset, just give him a third jump like his Luma spin in SMG.

GLide into a meteor FTW.

lol instead of glide it should be infinite flight lawl. it'd be too gud :3 unfortunately that would never happen w/o major hax

 

[DemonFart]

Raccoon Mario! That would be as cool as squirtles shades lol.

 

[HeroMystic]

People still think Mario's recovery got gimped in Brawl...?

 

[vato_break]

brawl came out march 9

Anyone who thinks Mario's recovery got worse in Brawl clearly didn't use Mario in Melee.

I know right?

Highly agreed.

People, we're heading to the 11th month of brawl and yet you complain of his recovery. The rest of his entire moveset completely make up for it, and make him a character as a whole. Is it that hard to go through your small brains?

Seeing as the Glide physics were ripped straight from Super Mario World, I was a little disturbed that Mario didn't have it when I first started playing. I got over it, but I do wish he had one from time to time. His Glide attack would of been the meteor cape smash for sure.

 

[mario brawler]

it would be very cool and fun to see in their, it would definatley be a good thing
but im fine with mario's recovery as is
I wonder, If you could decide between gliding with the cape or having fludd's hover nozzle which would you pick? the question just popped up in my head :/

Mario already has cape glide to Fair lol.

 

[DemonFart]

i still think raccoon mario is the coolest option available.

 

[MBreeto]

idk, I don't really see the benefits of having the glide on stage. I like it the way it is right now, but I guess I'm open to change

Because Mario can't normally go out that far to edgeguard, plus it's quick; the max distance for the cape glide is crazy.

True, I guess it gets rid of the timing issue with getting the glide off the edge to be consistent.

Oh, are you talking about that capedashing thing? It's good for extra mobility on stages with platforms; Famous is really good at abusing it.

Videos or it didn't happen. Lol.

[pizzapie7]

Title is misleading... I thought this was about 'Capegliding'

anyway, to the topic at hand:
I'm perfectly fine with Mario's recovery as it is now, it suits his playstyle well. His recovery was not gimped, to me at least, and giving him a better recovery, like Matt07 said, it would throw off his entire 'average' character feel, which I like.

 

[Veggi]

I think he should be an average character other than his recovery, getting to platforms was the point of his games. Anyway, the fact that Mario has a cape, but can't glide with it and FLUDD, but can't switch to Hover Nozzel is really weird.

 

[Blistering Speed]

I hate these kind of topics, it's all just hypothetical bull **** which never leads to anything productive.

No I meant I wanted to see how Famous abuses it so much. Never saw his Mario in action. I already know what it is lol.

 

[forestflower]

i find that mario's recovery is just find it would be cool but the way i use mario it wouldnt fit my playstyle.
either i dont like change or i just really like marios recovery how it is
though try to spam the cape when versing luigi in the air my friend goes nuts because it flips all of his ariel atttacks

 

[Punishment Divine]

Holy F*ck flying Marios that's some scary sh*t
