Mario (Super Smash Flash)

Mario is a playable veteran starter character in Super Smash Flash from the series, the only one to be available when starting a new game. Due to the game's limitations, Mario uses an abridged version of his moveset from the series consisting of six attacks. Mario's sprite set was made by user Xander, which means they are completely custom made, who utilized a particular Mega Man 8-like style on the sprite sheet.
Mario ranks 9th on the current tier list, placing him in the A+ tier.
=== Attributes ===
Mario has excellent horizontal movement, good damage racking ability, and good KO power. He has easily the best projectile in the game, the , due to its very fast speed and firing rate. The Mario Tornado is a good turtling move, as it comes out fast, surrounds Mario on both sides, has a long active period, and has instant-KO properties.
True to his name, Mario has nothing that could really be considered a weakness apart from a lack of momentum-canceling moves, other than the possibility that Luigi is slightly better than him. This jack-of-all-trades characteristic gives Mario strong match ups across the board, resulting in his high placement.
