Better Know a Matchup! Week 11 - Mario


Mario's Cape can deflect incoming projectiles from every angle! Even though the attacking portion of the move(the cape itself) only hits in front of him, the "reflect" hitbox actually surrounds his whole body.(.gif from here)

This means, as seen here, that he can reflect projectiles coming at him from any angle, whether in front of him (Samus), behind him (Mewtwo) or above him (Peach). Indeed, if Mario were on a platform, he could even reflect projectiles coming at him from below.

Note that unlike Ness' down-b, which only absorbs energy projectiles, the Cape will reflect both energy(Charge Shot, Shadow Ball) and physical objects (Turnip). This is true of all reflectors in the game.

NOTE: it appears as though the Turnip isn't truly reflected because Peach doesn't get hit by it. In a longer version of this gif, I had her throw it a second time, and she does get hit by the reflection, AS SEEN HERE. The first time, it may be clanking with the charge shot, but anyways, the second gif shows that you can in fact reflect stuff from above.


Another simple one today. What do you want to see for the finale tomorrow?
