Mario (USBIV)

Mario is the most balanced fighter from Ultra Smash Bros. IV and hero of the Super Mario (series) and he makes his fifth appearance in the series. He's already confirmed at the E3 demo and trailer as a old member of the Original 8, including Ness, Captain Falcon, Jigglypuff and Luigi. Generally, Mario is the hero of the Mushroom Kingdom were he goes on adventure, sometimes with Luigi, his sidekick and little brother, by rescuing Peach off the hands of Bowser, sometimes Bowser Jr. and his Koopalings and his minons.
Mario's already voiced by Charles Marinet alongside with Luigi, Wario, Waluigi, Dr. Mario and Dr. Luigi, but it's changed slightly differently from SSB4.
Mario has two clones, a semi-clone, Luigi and a half-clone, Dr. Mario. Luigi has his own moves to in his moveset overall except his forward tilt, neutral air, back air, up air are pretty much recycled but has a different function. His Super Jump Punch goes vertically instead of going diagonally and has a strong sweetspot in his first frames. His Fireball goes straight horizontally but has less range. As for Dr. Mario, all his moves are recycled from Mario but it also has his own functions. Overall, Dr. Mario is much stronger dangerous as for dealing damage and launches opponents with more knockback.
Mario ranked on the 4th place of the 103rd (S) in the tier list behind Luigi and after Bayonetta for his fast up aerial strings similar as in Smash 4 and his save recovery options such as his Super Cape and his Super Jump Punch, which it makes such a great character to play in the tournaments. This is a slightly rise for Mario but maintains his spot as top tier character.
As all the Smash series and in his games overall, Mario is the easiest character to deal with all kind of opponents due to his balanced states likes Fireballs as his projectile game, a great combo starter and a excelent defensive gameplay. Overall in his matchup, Mario wins great matchups against his frontsiders such as Captain Falcon, Lucas and Luigi.
