Mario vs Palutena

In the matchup against Palutena, leverage Mario's grab game to punish her aerial approaches and counter attempts. Use Fireballs to disrupt her zoning and pressure her into a corner, making it easier to land grabs. When you anticipate her Neutral Air, use Mario's Down Air to challenge it, as it can beat out her attack and lead to a combo. Additionally, be mindful of stage positioning; edge-guarding her with Caped Up-B can be particularly effective, especially if you can catch her recovering low.
