 '''Mario''' ({{ja|マリオ|Mario}}, ''Mario'') is a playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''. He was confirmed on June 11th, 2013 during the E3 2013 Nintendo Direct.<ref name="trailer1">[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xvudMu-5kIU Super Smash Bros. for 3DS/Wii U 1st Trailer]</ref> He was also one of the main subjects of the Developer's Direct for ''Super Smash Bros.'' later during E3 2013.<ref name="devdirect">[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQD1yJinzeQ Wii U & Nintendo 3DS Developer Direct - Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U @E3 2013]</ref> He was among the first wave of [[amiibo]] figurines for ''SSB4''. Mario is once again voiced by Charles Martinet, who also reprises his long-time role as {{SSB4|Luigi}}, {{SSB4|Wario}}, and [[Waluigi]], albeit mostly with the same voice clips from ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. <ref name="treehouseday2">[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=edCQDRuL8Dk Nintendo Treehouse: Live @ E3 2014 -- Day 2: Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]</ref>
-Mario is currently ranked 6th out of 58 characters on the [[tier list]], in the A tier, which is the lower end of the top tier. This is his best tier placement to date, and a striking improvement from his 31st out of 38 ranking ''Brawl'' where he stood at the top of the bottom tier, as well as the largest tier rise from ''Brawl''. His primary strength is his polarizing frame data; most of his moves come out extremely fast and have relatively low end lag. This results in Mario having one of the best [[neutral game]]s in ''Smash 4'', as it is difficult to actually punish him. His combo game, while not as versatile compared to {{SSB4|Luigi}} or {{SSB4|Sheik}}, is nevertheless potent, as Mario can rack up damage quickly and reliably, most notoriously with down throw into multiple up tilts. He also has a versatile moveset: a disruptive [[projectile]] in his [[Fireball]], a [[reflection]]-based and [[reverse]]-based move in his [[Cape]], and a decent but niche [[edgeguard]]ing option with [[F.L.U.D.D]].

He also has a versatile moveset: a disruptive [[projectile]] in his [[Fireball]], a [[reflection]]-based and [[reverse]]-based move in his [[Cape]] that can counteract [[camping]], and a decent, if niche [[edgeguard]]ing option with [[F.L.U.D.D]].
-Mario's shortcomings include his below average range, giving him trouble against characters with long [[disjointed]] range such as {{SSB4|Cloud}} and {{SSB4|Marth}}, and his lack of consistent KO set ups. That said, due to his lack of severe weaknesses, as well as one of the lowest technical curves in the game, Mario has been among the most successful characters in tournaments, and amazing results at top level play, with a slew of dedicated mains. However, due to Mario's incredible tournament placings during the summer of 2016, many smashers now view Mario as one of the best characters in the game and possibly deserving of an even higher ranking on the tier list. Some players, notably {{Sm|ESAM}}, believe him to be the single best character in ''Smash 4''.
+Mario's primary shortcoming is his below average range, giving him trouble against characters with long [[disjointed]] range such as {{SSB4|Cloud}} and {{SSB4|Marth}}. Furthermore, he cannot effectively outcamp other characters, due to Fireball being relatively slow compared to some other projectiles in the game. Mario also suffers from a lack of consistent KO setups, and generally has to [[read]] opponents to get KOs.
+Due to his lack of severe weaknesses, as well as one of the lowest technical curves in the game, Mario has been among the most used characters in tournaments, and has achieved excellent results at top level play. Owing to Mario's incredible tournament placings, especially during the summer of 2016, many smashers have viewed Mario as one of the best characters in the game and possibly deserving of an even higher ranking on the tier list; {{Sm|ESAM}}, for instance, has notably argued that Mario is the best character in ''Smash 4''.
