Mario is extremely good and in many ways better than he was in melee. Every true competitive mario mainer has yet to dislike the new mario besides FLUDD, and in many ways, FLUDD can be used effectively according to the situation. Heck, FLUDD is more useful than mario's old mario tornado as a special, that old down B tornado had like zero priority, meaning that it can only be used if your opponent messes up, and it was pretty much lamed down as an recovery move which wasn't really all that great. In brawl, the mario tornado much priority; extremely quick too which in my take is better than mario's old down B; acts well as an air escape, has some the of same properties as mario's old dair, and still attacks like marios old tornado. You can't just say so mario isn't better than Luigi just because of just one move (FLUDD), WHICH COUNTERS PRETTY DARN GOOD AGAINST LUIGI'S RECOVERY. Also, there are multiple boards explaining the mechanics of FLUDD, the best common situations using FLUDD, using FLUDD as a recovery move, the infamous FLUDD to Cape combo, as well as videos of it. Did you even try looking around in the Brawl Mario threads page? No offense, but this thread is extremely noobish...
