Super Mario Sunshine: The Guide to Using FLUDD and Cape

[Judge Judy]

The link that Judge Judy put on apparently doesn't work so I thought I would re-post it. I made this with a buddy of mine. I wanted it to be edited to just show some successful examples but the guy who uploaded it for me must have misunderstood me. Oh well it still shows some successful attempts.

I just fixed the link, but thx. Again, nice vid.

Oh nice. This is good stuff. I have to practice these moves now.

Great guide! Does angling FLUDD make a big difference?

Angling the FLUDD just helps you aim it.

 

[But-itzah-me!]

There are plenty of characters that outprioritize FLUDD, but due to how new this is, it'll take some time before a full list is up. For now:


Game and Watch (Practically everything)

BAHAHAHA... Finally I can do something about the horribly evil turtle that not only outlasts every other move but also outprioritizes most. Watch out G&W!

FLUDD > TURTLE

fludd + stutter step smash = gnw owned

Wow, I've always been trying to figure out how to use the F.L.U.D.D.

This is an awesome guide!

 

[J-Cords]

Great Guide. Very helpful to a new competitive smasher (me).

Me too, I'd never used it in a match but now I think I'ma going try.

So sexy guide.

Stages with platforms low like on BF or PS(melee) you can SH a cape just underneath them and still hit the person on it and if they aren't jumping, hit with an Uair or UpB directly after using the cape. Is that useful enough to pretty much use on most approaches when someone is on a platform and you are on the ground? Or is it still better to use different aerials?

Following up with the cape works well if your opponent is an atk animation or is DIing towards you when you cape them; if your opponent is just standing there, the cape probably won't work as well.

this has been bugging me for while. can someone tell me what happened? it starts at 0:11.

forgive me if this has been brought up before. essentially, mario capes zelda near the end of her roll dodge and she slides in the reverse direction quite a distance.

 

[Matt07]

Mario's Cape can sometimes make the opponents reverse their momentum and go twice as far, as that explains what happens to Zelda's roll.

It's something similar to this;

MK jumps, he get's hit by Bowser's dash attack into Mario's Cape. It double his jump momentum, AND the hit distance from Bowser's dash attack (is that what you call it?) because of the Cape. At least that's my explanation behind it .

 

[messiahfreak2000]

weird. is it random? or can it be replicated?

 

[A2ZOMG]

Yes, Mario's cape amplifies momentum. Especially if it is vertical momentum or knockback momentum. This is known. I have another video of this happening.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vjtzwmKC9Gs Kirby gets hit by a reflected Final Cutter and the Cape at the same time.

The guide part of this thread has been merged with Mario_101's Ultimate Mario Guide. We'll see how this goes, but if we start seeing an upsurge of the "omg fludd sux" threads, this will probably be returned to having it's own guide and will be re-stickied.
