Beefy Smash Doods Offer Tips on Surviving Mario’s Deadliest Combos in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U

Under the right circumstances, Mario can produce some of the scariest combos in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U. Not only do these options tack on tons of damage, they often end with a move powerful enough to take a stock. If you spend a lot of time facing off against Nintendo’s iconic plumber, chances are you’ve fallen victim to these strings more than once.

In their most recent video, the Beefy Smash Doods discuss how to escape–or mitigate–the effects of three of the most dangerous combos Mario brings to a match. By following these tips, you’ll be able to escape through the holes in the combos, or at least learn when pressing buttons or using directional influence is a smart option.

If you’re a new Mario player, the video is also certain to give you an idea of which buttons you should be pressing and when.
