Like in the majority of his games and spin-offs, Mario | Like in the majority of his games and spin-offs, Mario is intended to be a balanced character in terms of attributes, possessing average [[walking]], [[dash]]ing and [[falling speed]]s, [[air acceleration]], [[gravity]] and [[weight]]. However, he also has high [[air speed]] and [[jump]]ing force, but low [[traction]]. These balanced stats do not give Mario the edge when it comes to overall movement, but they nevertheless make him adept at most situations where a key attribute is needed to gain the advantage, which when combined with his very quick frame data, grants Mario a very effective [[neutral game]]. As a result, despite his attributes implying a jack-of-all-trades type of character, Mario is more of a rushdown character in practice. | ||
Thanks to his incredibly quick attack speed, Mario shines in close-quarters combat, as few other characters like {{SSB4|Sheik}} and {{SSB4|Meta Knight}} are a match for this speed. His fast attack speed allows him to consistently apply pressure to the opponent, and he's capable of quickly racking up damage once he gets the momentum, which is easy to do so on characters that cannot match his attack speed without getting heavily punished for it, such as {{SSB4|Palutena}}. Excluding his forward smash, forward aerial and special moves, all of Mario's moves have fast startup and low ending and landing lag (the latter in the case of his aerial attacks). All of his grounded moves are prime examples of his quick frame data: his neutral attack is his fastest move and an overall effective way to rack up damage, along with handy combo capabilities, while his up and down tilts are very effective combo starters that can help rack up plenty of damage, and the former easily chains into itself at low percentages, as well as being hard to escape. All of his smash attacks are excellent KO options, as they can reliably KO at high percentages without being endlag-heavy; his forward smash has the highest power of all of his smash attacks when sweetspotted, down smash is a [[semi-spike]], making it useful for forcing opponents offstage, and up smash is very hard to punish due to its speed, power and the fact it grants [[intangibility]] on his head. | Thanks to his incredibly quick attack speed, Mario shines in close-quarters combat, as few other characters like {{SSB4|Sheik}} and {{SSB4|Meta Knight}} are a match for this speed.
