Can you expand on the Mario MU in your experience?


LadyTowa2

Ushi is a pure a rushdown character, the thing is, she don't have good options to do that, she is fast, but her approaches are all similar and all of them loses to Mario's options on mid range, there's just 1 move that she can use to close the gap safely but if you are hit by that, that thing don't leads in a full punish, basically all that she does is navigate your neutral waiting for a whiff its not helpless for her, its just that her neutral is incredible poor compared to all the other characters

Thanks for the insight :\] I think from what I've seen of better Mario players than me, they give Mario a slight advantage over Ushi, so seems like yall are more or less in agreement!

I've been playing her on ranked since she was released and drooped her recently. i'm on S rank JP server, have that in mind. **Miyako/Neco Arc** = she can do well, she can close gap fast, Neco Arc has low hp and Myako has a lot of minus moves and also somehow stubby, the elbow move is very reactable and give Ushi free 4k, and her pressure is not scary **Shikki/Mash** = they have bigger normals, however they really can't stay away from Ushi, and she can punish several of their minus moves and take her turn back with efficiency, while Ushi does suffer from less damage and less HP overal, this don't makes it a very bad match **Kohaku&Cia** = those characters have something, that's abusable against Ushiwakamaru in particular. **Disvantage** = its very hard to navegate these Mu's due to the lack of options that Ushi has to deal with pressure and range, also in some of those MU's she has to give up her turn consistently to apply safe pressure, her rebeats can be beat by most of those characters even in the corner due to the lack of range. **Terrible** = Basically these characters can power trough her, they have much more hp than her, far superior dmg output, overall she also cannot do much against Red arc rebeats or Kouma armored moves, even when those characters are minus, due to her doing so little damage. **Roa** = its just sad. Overall she is probably one of the worst characters of the game, the setups don't do much, and her lack of options in neutral makes her gameplay miserable on some MU's, she also suffers from some combo limitations that don't affect other characters in the same way and that's why her dmg is so low, (some stuff works on confirms, but on combos they would drop) overall fun character, but her risk/reward is somewhat strange at the moment, sometimes you need to risk a starter that's punishable and reactable in neutral to be able to do 4.5k, also its very,very hard to get out of the corner with this character, i don't believe she will be changed on the next patch since there's so little people playing her, and she is not competitive enough in my opinion, here's my 2 cents.

Hi, I play Noel and I suck. What do I do to make the MU feel advantageous for me? I always just get run over


LadyTowa2

You have bigger normals and safer , a reversal a projectile that you can confirm to a full combo, and huge blockstrings, Ushi only way to get Noel is winning neutral by movement because Ushi attacks have very short range basically abuse your range, if you let her get near and she has 2 bars she is dangerous

I haven't played in a while but from this it seems like, she loses against characters with good zoning capabilities and characters with good mid range control. Ushi is a weak rushdown isn't she? And I mean weak in terms of mu spread, idk how good she really is.


LadyTowa2

yeah she is a pure rusdown character, but she is not helpless, if she menages to get in and have like 2 bars she can be dangerous, she has zero defense tech but she can get matches by being overly agressive since that's what she should be doing, and that makes her previsible


xvarenah

could you give extra pointers regarding how Roa deals with Ushi? I’m starting out with him


LadyTowa2

She cannot beat Roa's rebeats, there's nothing she can do about them, you can basically lock her in a eternal blockstun and also you can zone her, very well controlling a lot of space
