Game Plan

Mario is a short middleweight that has balanced attributes across the board and no notable unique mechanics. This alongside a variety of moves with great frame makes him an intuitive Jack of all trades.

That's not to say Mario has no flaws. His most glaring weaknesses being his short range, while is recovery and Kill power are also pretty linear.

• His tilts are fast and with minimal endlag, allowing for pokes or combo starts.
• His Smashes are decently strong, with Side Smash having the most range, Down Smash being the fastest and Up Smash consistently KO'ing odd the top.
• His Aerials all have functions tailored for all sort of scenarios. NAir lingers, UAir combos, DAir is a multi hit, BAir is a strong finisher while FAir spikes.
• His throws are excellent combo starters, which gives Mario hints of a grappler style.

• For Neutral, Mario has enough speed to navigate around enemy attacks and projectiles, using his cape and fireball in conjunction to find a way in and land a combo starter or grab.
• In advantage, Mario must choose the right aerial or special against the opponent's landing option or during edge guarding to extend the damage dealt.
• In disadvantage, Mario can stall with Down Special and Cape or cover a high landing with a fireball. Landing aggressively is only recommended as a mix up.

Mario is for you if you enjoy:

• Simple to pick up, Deep when Mastered.
• Excellent frame data.
• Having options for most situations.
• A decent combo game and combo starters
• Having a projectile and/or a Reflector
• Throw Combos and kill throws.
