    Mario R&D Groups

    Are there any Mario R&D Groups on Facebook or Discord? I'd love to discuss matchups, possible setups on characters, and get to know other Mario mains further one of those two platforms.

    The Future of Mario.

    Hmmm yeah, I'd agree with all your points actually, except the caping one. I'm still not confident in it as a mixup. I tried it in my local's bracket yesterday against spacies and it was still too slow. Consider facing a spacie who's dash dancing and waiting for me to approach first. It still...

    The Future of Mario.

    Nah A Rookie lives around Pensacola, Florida now. He's been going to locals there and he's 2nd on their PR; he goes back and forth with their top player, Rice. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OYjKzFMOoz8 It's cool to see more Vods of A Rookie and Mario in general now. There's vids on Tallahassee...

    The Future of Mario.

    Hey man. Saw your post on Reddit as well. I think Mario has a small chance of making the top 30 if played extremely well, but I honestly can't see Mario winning a major. As a mario main myself, I've only made top 8 at some of my locals, and can't even take games off of Ontario's PR members. I...

    Edgeguarding Marth and Others

    Oh one more thing, I personally found that you use F-Smash too often in the video sample that you showed. If spaced properly from their firefox, they can avoid the F Smash and then punish the laggy hit. I suggest going offstage, doing a down-ward angled F-tilt, or maybe downsmash. Just my...

    Edgeguarding Marth and Others

    Against Marth, Mario has SHFFL Up-air to Forward smash on stage, but for the most part from what I've found, yeah, an offstage/dropzone back air usually does the trick. I usually do that, or throw fireballs. Typically if the fireball catches them from out of a side B or their jump, it does the...

    Mario matchup guide

    There's a Mario matchup guide in one of the pinned threads, but it's incomplete and outdated, imo. If someone could make a new school matchup thread/guide, that would be great as well.

    Mario vs. Falco Matchup

    Thanks, man. This really helps alot. Playing this mid-tier gets a lot of hate from my University's Smash Club because I initially started to cape lasers in neutral from a distance; however, I still got criticism for doing it and it really got to me. I haven't tried out options 2 or 3 yet...

    Mario vs. Falco Matchup

    Hey guys, I'm having difficulties against Falco. The lasers give me a hard time, but I've recently been playing Falcos in my region that play the matchup against me really safe. Falco's bair has so much priority against all of my moves that pretty much, retreating bairs are un-beatable...

    How can I improve my Mario?

    Your movement is pretty good. I'd suggest working on lengthening your punishes, because as a midtier, the struggle is trying to find a good approach and then getting in. So in the Mario-Fox matchup specifically, find habits that your brother commonly does and then exploit them. General Mario...

    Mario vs. Marth Matchup

    Hi Mario mains, As a fellow mario main myself, I'm having problems against Marth in the matchup. I've just joined the competitive scene as of recent and I've started grinding quite often. At my university's smash club, there are so many marth mains and I can't seem to think of many good...
