Mario (SSB4): Difference between revisions

|neutraldesc=The {{s|mariowiki|Punch}} + Punch + {{s|mariowiki|Kick}} combo from ''{{s|mariowiki|Super Mario 64}}''. Mario's fastest attack, the first and second hits can [[lock]], the first hit being more prominent when doing so.

|ftiltdesc=A wheel kick. It can be angled. Its low knockback lets it be used for locking at low to mid percentages, before the first hit of his neutral attack becomes more.

|utiltdesc=A spinning uppercut. Infamous for effectively comboing into itself at low percents; however, this can be escaped with the proper combination of DI and SDI. It appears to be based on the second hit of the [[mariowiki:List of weapons in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars|Mega Glove]]'s combo from ''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars''.

|dtiltdesc=A legsweep. Easily combos into other tilts as well as aerials at higher percentages.

|dashdesc=The Slide Kick from ''Super Mario 64'', Mario does a [[wikipedia:Slide (baseball)|baseball slide]]. Its quick speed combined with the long distance Mario slides forward makes it a prominent tool at pressuring at a stage's edge, as well as a quick punishment option if he is too far from the opponent. It can also set up a juggle. If the opponent does not DI correctly, it can combo into the last hits of [[Super Jump Punch]] at low percents.

|usmashdesc=An upward arcing headbutt. Despite its decent power, this is Mario's most infamous and reliable KO option due to several factors: its very fast startup makes it an excellent out of shield option, as well as being difficult to react to if the opponent is within its range. His head is intangible while its hitboxes are active, giving it pseudo-disjointed range, and its hitboxes reach behind Mario pretty well, though they don't reach forward as well. Lastly, it has very fast interruptibility at frame 40, and its damage output is also just enough to give it enough pushback if not [[powershield]]ed. It is also worth mentioning it can combo at low-mid percentages into his fastest aerials, namely up aerial. Altogether, this makes it a very useful, all-purpose KO move. It KOs at 117% from the middle of [[Final Destination]].

|nairdesc=A flying kick. A standard [[sex kick]], it loses its already below-average power after the first frames. It is useful for breaking out of combos due to its very fast startup (frame 3), as well as being a good option for landing when the opponent has lag, possibly leading into a lock if the opponent does not tech. [[Autocancel]]s in a [[short hop]].

|bairdesc=A {{s|wikipedia|dropkick}} behind Mario. Has fast startup with very low ending and landing lag, enabling it to combo into itself for a [[wall of pain]]. KOs starting from 124% near the edge, but will KO much later if the opponent uses proper DI.

|uairdesc=A bicycle kick. Considered Mario's best aerial since it has extremely fast startup (frame 4), consistent strength throughout the move and very low ending and landing lag, which makes it great for comboing, as well as combo breaking while setting up Mario's own combos. It is also great for juggling at high percentages, and can often serve as an emergency KO move near the upper blast line at percentages past 140%.

|dairdesc=Rapidly spins around, trapping opponents and damaging them with a series of [[Wikipedia:Professional wrestling attacks#Clothesline|discus clotheslines]] and [[Wikipedia:Professional wrestling attacks#Spinning back fist|spinning backfists]] before assuming a [[wikipedia:Spreadeagle (position)|spread-eagle position]] to launch them. A useful combo, approach and anti-juggling move that can also KO near the upper blast line above 120%. However, the last hit can be avoided by any action that executes on frame 3, such as an aerial or air dodge, though air dodging the last hit can be punished. It resembles the {{s|mariowiki|Spin Jump}}, a technique that first appeared in ''Super Mario World''.

|fthrowdesc=Spins the opponent around once and throws them forward.

|nsdefdesc=Throws a {{s|mariowiki|Fireball}}. The fireball bounces along the ground several times before disappearing. It is useful for forcing out approaches or outright disrupt them, and complements a fundamental part of Mario's neutral game.

|ssdefdesc=Waves a {{s|mariowiki|Cape}} in front of himself. It reflects projectiles and reverses enemies, as well as their controls for a while if they get hit. In the air, it stalls Mario for a short period of time, allowing it to be used as a brief and situational, but continuously available "recovery" extender.

|usdefdesc=A jumping uppercut that produces {{s|mariowiki|Star Coin}}s on contact. Mario's only recovery move. Its extremely fast startup (frame 3) and intangibility frames on startup makes it highly useful as an [[out of shield]] option. It can also KO near the upper blast line when preceded by up aerials. With high rage, the first hit can also KO near the upper blast line.

|dsdefdesc=Wields {{s|mariowiki|F.L.U.D.D.}} and charges up water to launch a stream at the opponent. It charges up quite fast, and can be [[charge cancel]]ed and stored for later. The water pushes opponents, but does not damage them. Mario can change the angle of the stream. Useful for disrupting an approach and giving Mario breathing space, resetting the neutral game if he is getting pressured or even turning the advantage to his favor. It is also used as an efficient edge-guarding or gimping tool.
