It can be useful in the neutral game or edgeguarding. Fireball is a projectile with decently long range. Mario's special moves are highly varied and has plenty of uses. Finally, down aerial can be used to start combos or set up into a smash attack. Back aerial has the longest range and the highest knockback of his aerial moves, allowing it to space effectively and reliably KO offstage. Forward aerial is a meteor smash with high base knockback, making it one of Mario's most reliable KO options.

Up aerial's extremely quick startup makes it a useful combo breaker and aerial interceptor, though its horizontal launch trajectory makes it near-useless for combos. Neutral aerial is a fast sex kick that can be useful in combos, edgeguarding, or even breaking combos. The effectiveness of his ground game is also reflected in his air game. His smash attacks are all useful in their own right: while his forward smash has the longest startup out of all his smash attacks, it pulls back his hurtbox a noticeable distance, and is very powerful when sweetspotted his up smash is one of his most useful vertical KO options, as well as being a great out-of-shield option down smash is the weakest out of all of them, but its semi-spike angle can force opponents offstage for an edgeguard situation. Both his up and down tilts send at a vertical trajectory with low knockback, and have low ending lag, allowing them to be effective combo starters or extenders, with up tilt being notorious for its reliability as a followup from his down tilt. Mario's neutral attack is rather quick, and an effective way to rack up damage thanks to its damage output. Excluding his forward smash and forward aerial, all of his moves have very fast startup and low ending and landing lag, which helps him gain the upper hand in close combat.Īs mentioned before, one of Mario's key traits is his fast attack speed, especially with his grounded moveset. His fast attack speed allows him to consistently apply pressure to the opponent, and he is capable of quickly racking up damage once he gets the momentum. Due to this, beginners should consider using Mario as the start-up character when playing the game for the first time. He appears to have average dashing, walking, falling, and air speeds, gravity, and weight. Mario is considered the most well-rounded/balanced character in the game. Of those, Mario's placements in tournaments are shown to be high.Īttributes See also: Mario (Super Smash Flash 2)/Hard data Mario appears to have a small playerbase and has decent representation in online tournaments. His zoning game is not great, as his projectile is weak, slow, and can be reflected. His recovery is linear and predictable, especially after he uses his double jump and Mario Tornado, making him somewhat easy to gimp and edgeguard against. However, Mario has blatant problems with his range, which leaves him highly vulnerable to characters with disjointed range, especially swordfighters like Meta Knight and Marth. He also has an average recovery with Mario Tornado and Super Jump Punch covering good vertical distance while Cape stalls him in midair for a short moment. He has a strong edgeguarding game with his Fireball, Cape, and strong aerial attacks. He has a projectile, a Fireball, which he can use to hinder his opponents' approach, zone, edgeguard, or bait out a shield. Mario has fast, low-lag attacks, good combo ability, a good grab game, and strong finishers in all of his smash attacks, neutral aerial, forward aerial, back aerial, and his back throw. Mario is currently ranked 17th of A tier on the current tier list, one spot higher of his last position on the previous Tier List. His voice clips are directly taken from Brawl and his moveset is a combination of his Super Smash Bros. Brawl, but with his bright colors from Super Smash Bros. His sprites are custom-made and based on his appearance in Super Smash Bros. He is one of the first four characters, alongside Kirby, Ichigo, and Lloyd, to be confirmed and first incorporated into the game.
