Mario (SSBM)/Up special

This article or section may require competitive expertise. You can discuss this issue on the talk page or edit this page to improve it.

Overview

Mario's Up special move in Melee is the Super Jump Punch. Mario leaps into the air while repeatedly punching the opponent. The move hits about 10 times max, and does 11% tops. This move was heavily nerfed from 64 to Melee, not going as far, and being much slower, making this move worse as a Recovery tool. This move can hit at 3 angles, aside from his regular Up special move, if you hold the control stick forward he will go further than normal, however, this will give him less vertical distance. If you flick the control stick back during the first several frames of the move, Mario will jump higher than normal, but this will hinder his horizontal Recovery, if you flick it back to late, Mario will jump the opposite direction. Unlike in 64, Mario can wall jump nearing the apex of this move, which aids in his Recovery.
