Mario vs Shulk

In the matchup against Shulk, Mario needs to be cautious of Shulk's aerial range, which can outclass his own. Utilize Fireball to create openings and pressure Shulk from a distance, as it can disrupt his zoning and force him to approach. Once you find an opportunity, capitalize on Mario's strong combo potential with moves like Up Tilt and Up Air to rack up damage quickly. Focus on staying grounded and avoiding Shulk's Monado Arts, particularly Jump and Speed, which can make him difficult to hit and counter effectively.
