Mario (SSBB): Difference between revisions

Mario is ranked 31st out of 38 on the current [[tier list]], the top position of F tier. This is a vast drop from his previous placement in ''Melee'', where he was ranked 15th out of 26, and his worst placement in the series. Mario possesses fast, low lag attacks throughout his moveset, as well as strong [[combo]]ing capabilities, with his [[up tilt]] and [[up aerial]] being especially good [[juggle]]rs on their own that can set up additional attacks well. Additionally, Mario possesses a notable [[gimp]]ing and disrupting tool in his [[Cape]], an effective projectile in his [[Fireball]], and even an effective [[out of shield]] option in his [[Super Jump Punch]]. However, he inherited problems from his ''Melee'' incarnation. Mainly, he has poor [[reach]] with nearly every attack, and he still possesses only a few mediocre finishers, that are all [[smash attack]]s, greatly hindering Mario's ability to finish a stock flexibly and efficiently. Additionally, he has problems dealing with characters who have disjointed hitboxes (such as Marth), he is easily gimped due to his predictable and short recovery, and his rather standard abilities are outshined by the abilities of most characters. This has resulted in poor [[matchup]]s beyond low tier, and poor [[tournament]] results.
