~How to Play Mario: Jabs and Tilts

An introduction to Marios Jabs and Tilts. It is advised to pause the video when needed.

[Video Text]
Jab
This is Mario's fastest move which is great for setting up combos. Jab first, and then use the stun to follow up into other moves. Because it is very fast, use it to punish slower attacks. This is Marios best option for racking up damage. Mario also can auto-jab which can punish spot dodgers and rollers. The last hit of the jab combo has a very large hitbox, which has as much horizontal range as a Forward Tilt.

F-Tilt is best used to end a ground combo as it has enough knockback to keep you at a safe distance. You can use it to mix up your playstyle and to refresh other moves. just a great poker and damage racker. It's generally just a 2nd-best option to everything. Matador

Up-Tilt
This is by far, Mario's best tilt because you can "U-Tilt lock" some characters to about 20% depending on their weight. This move also has great priority and can be used as a KO move at higher percents. Up tilt can also set you up for a jab lock. "At higher percents on stages like Luigi's Mansion and Skyworld, it'll bounce the other character to their back, which can set you up for a perfect jab lock." Straked

Down Tilt
This move is probably Marios least used move. It has major start up lag, has very little knockback, and does little damage. Matt07 Otherwise it does have slightly more range than his Jab, hits lower, so it can shield poke a bit and at high percents, you can use this to knock people up for a follow up. A2ZOMG

Dash Attack
This is a very risky move. If you land the attack, you will be able to set up for combos and possibly kills. If you miss, you will be wide open for a counter-attack.

another heads up about mario's dash attack. There is a distinct difference on the timing when you dash attack. If you attack a little later, there is more knockback. But if you slide sooner, with the right timing, you'll barely touch him, but it will connect, doing about 5% damage and lifting him above your head, allowing for combos.

@SM853 No problem. I'm just trying to help.

[SM853]

@brawlanator: Ah ok, now that make sense. Thanks for the info.

[brawlanator]

@SM853 It's not on the Wiimote. It's on the nunchuck.

[SM853]

@brawlanator: And how can I do it?

And call me a dumbass, but what's the c button?

I never saw it on the WiiMote...

[brawlanator]

@SM853 Since you can do all that stuff just turn your tap jump off and use the c button jump then. It'll be hard but hang in their. It wasn't easy for me to do it with my GC controller.

[SM853]

@brawlanator: I can already do this stuff, the only problem for me is the Up tilt, which I can't do it. And that's a big problem, since it's his best tilt.

[brawlanator]

@SM853 but if you may get a GC controller in the future get a used one. With the games stop ones it's either a hit or mis. It could break down in 30 days or 30 years, so get a used one, mine has lasted several years compared to the game stop ones (to keep you from over spending) 8D
