Mario The world-famous plumber. He can be called a standard character, one with no strong weaknesses. With a good balance of speed and skill, he can handle a variety of battle situations. As a result, the player's skill will become significantly more important. (Pros) Has no real weaknesses or vulnerabilities. Good jumping height. Has a good balance of different types of abilities. (Cons) Has no real strengths or advantages. Mobility such as dashing speed is not so good. Does not have a strong special move. Uppercut (strong up attack) Smash Headbutt (up smash) Air Slash (up air attack) These moves will knock the opponent upwards. If used well with knowledge of the target's accumulated damage, you can keep the opponent in a combo. Examples: Smash Headbutt → Uppercut × α → Air Slash (from jump)→ Air Slash (from double jump) Taunt (L button) Mario's taunt makes him humongous. As well as being obvious, it ends when the enlarged hurtbox is hit, and it's very well-liked. Also, this seems to be the longest taunt? ▲DOON. Giant Swing (back throw) The Giant Swing back throw can hit other enemies using the one you're throwing. It has very high power for a throw, though I like to use it because it looks cool. ▲It's hard with those short limbs. Fireball (normal special move) A projectile that bounces on the ground. When it hits an enemy or item, reaches the end of its life, or bounces lower than a fixed height it disappears. Since the fireball falls, shooting in the air will hopefully extend the distance and coverage. Easily destroys Motion-Sensor Bombs. Super Jump Punch (up special move) An impressive rising punch. Can be used to recover. Hits up to 9 times; a coin will pop out for every hit. ...you cannot earn a 1-Up by collecting coins. At the start of the move, Mario is invincible for 4 frames. This is when the strongest part of the attack is. When the move is over, the dropping pratfall state is entered. ※Dropping pratfall: A state where you cannot jump or use any attacks. See technique 37. Mario Tornado (down special move) Involves spinning the enemy around, tossing them straight up at the end. Hits with both arms when you're on the ground, while when you're in the air there are additional hitboxes on the head and feet. The hitboxes on the arms hit those on the right to the left and those on the left to the right. As a result, the opponent is trapped. By pounding the B button, you can float in the air a little. If you are even slightly in the air, the aerial hitboxes are used. While spinning, you have limited side-to-side movement. If Mario has you caught in this, keep flicking the stick left or right, so you might escape by hit stop shift. ▲Hitboxes in the air (red). Hits on the ground with only the arms.
