Quick question for all (including me)

Was what the motivation to use mario in the first place?

to me it was to counter fox and falco in melee by gimping their recoveries in a tournament. it worked until shiek beat me. I ended up is 4th place. and then i decided to keep using him because I just love that plummer. :)

Well both reason are good enough for me, lets try our best to take Mario to the top and let him be known and feared.

hey boss!. do you think not having a wii has helped?

I pm'ed hylian and he kinda said i shouldn't play against level 9's or cpu's in general, except to find out characters moves and chaingrabs etc... Because cpu's make people form bad habbits. I havn't played one since and i think it helps. this was kinda to help other kids too. His main point, which really helped me and, it sounds like its helping you, was to find and play at other peoples house's.

also why are black people so good at ssb? I heard they have an extra muscle in their leg but i told the person that told me that that they were stupid. Mario is my secondary/ main.

and which character can you not use mario agianst? I think this question has been asked kinda, but not answered. if it has.. poopoo.

How can you force a Metaknight to go in the air? Any ideas on how to get them off the ground?

EDIT: Without Fireballs. They're not enough.

forcing a metaknight in the air....would be to juggle him repeativly.......also cape jumping or platform stalling will make MK go in to the air...but then again why would u want MK in the air???? thats where he is most dangerous...use our ground game to your advantage....

Because I want MK to be above me so I can smack them around. MK's ground game outshines Mario's (Dash attack, Grab, Dtilt, DSmash). His sheer running speed can make him run under or into a Fireball and retaliate during lag. Once he's close enough, he can pester me with a bunch of SH Fairs and grabs. How would you prevent that?

Editing my question.

I'm having problems with Mario's lack of range. Most of the people I play with regularly use characters who outrange Mario (mostly Ike and Marth). Is there anything I can do to close the range and punish them?

When i get spot dodgers try to spot dodge, i usually do a a a.(punch punch kick) combo. What top two or three or one thing do you do for spot dodgers. I've seen some of your vids where you just charge an fsmash a little longer( it might have been on a shielder tho). I think that's cool.

Well I'm not sure if I'm qualified enough to answer this one but...

It's pretty annoying when your attacks are constantly whiffed by spotdodges. If my opponent spot dodges a lot and I have a hard time punishing them I sometimes use long-lasting attacks (Dash Attack or Nair) to hit them all the time out of the dodge. Eventually they'll break the habit if you punish it enough.

Otherwise the best remedy is good ol' prediction. Charged smashes are great.

There are lots of things you can do, but here are some of the main ones to start you off: fireballs are great for setups and controlling approach, the cape has good range and has transended priority, FLUDD has good range and FIHL can work wonders if you know how to abuse it well, Bair has good reach, and Up B can be your ace-in-the-hole if you know when to use it.
