Dair sux???

[coolbananas]

I may just not be able to use it properly, but every time i use it, i get smacked across the screen. Any particular use any of you have found for it?

[BoTastic!]

it depends. how and when do u use it?

[-Coco-]

short hop it and use it as a approach occasioanlly

[A2ZOMG]

Jump out of shield to Tornado is awesome.

[coolbananas]

I have used it on enemies after they hit be up into the air, which never works for me. I've tryed using it on enemies after I hit THEM into the air. don't work either. I've used as a short hop approach technique. worked kinda well, i went from there to a tilt into a u-air into a fair, which worked well, but although i try to do that regularly now, it never works anymore. Any other suggestions?

[BoTastic!]

its useful against zelda's side b. Because of the hitbox it cancels the fire. Same with peachez turnips. Short op tornadoes and jumped from sheild tornadoes are the best approach for it.

Also, it works to help stop being comboed from below... sometimes, depending.

Sh auto canceled Dair on sheild -> repeat

Nope.. Mario is just garbage.

It can be very effective when you go up against Diddy Kong b/c his dair allows him to catch the banana peel that's being thrown at him. Also when use in a sh and the enemies shield is at 75% lock on to them with the dair to suck their sheild down. But don't stop there; follow it up with either a nair or uair before you hit the floor.

This play deals a ton of damage to the opponents sheild and is a safe approach. But you've got to keep mixin up your plays so that they won't catch on.
Oh yeah, one more thing those who say Mario is garbage could go suck his fireBALLS.:)

dunno about any character specific uses but i use dair and then go immediately into a dsmash. its a nice lil surprise when your opponent is slightly stunned after dair hits and then flies sideways cuz of the dsmash

D-air is awesome. I love it, and its one of my favorite moves.

Approaching is the main use, I guess. It's also good for getting people air bound, which is one of Mario's finer points.

[A2ZOMG]

Nope.. Mario is just garbage.Untrue.

He isn't amazing, but he's definitely got what it takes to win. He can gimp ppls like a high tier. He can juggle effectively due to being very low lag overall. He also has very good projectiles, and ways of dealing with projectile spam.

[Ch0zen0ne]

You're probably right..

I really don't know b/c the only Marios i play around Md/Va are scrubby ones like Boss.

[A2ZOMG]

But boss said Mario is gud.

[BoTastic!]

scrubby? oh wow

[Dragonboy2k4]
