A prime example of this would be Fox's Blaster Fox's Blaster is fast, can be spammed, covers a good distance and does not make the opponent flinch so even when reflected it will not deter Fox from projectile camping Black Mage. He has problems dealing with characters who can really camp him out and Stop can only reflect one projectile on one side at a time.


Warp, although giving him a long recovery, is easily predictable because the opponent knows where he is going to land based on the green circle, and can punish him easily for recovering. Even with having a pseudo wavedash due to Black Mage's high traction it is very short and not very useful for mobility. However, Black Mage suffers from average mobility which allows characters with better mobility to rush him down. His forward and back throw can kill at high percentages and his forward throw can set up his excellent edge guarding ability. His up throw can be a good combo starter. He is able to chain grab with his down throw at low percents and can allow him to rack up a lot of damage on his opponent. Black Mage can use Stop to freeze and reflect projectiles giving him a way to nullify most characters projectile camping it also paralyzes his opponents who come in contact leaving them open(depending on how long stop has been charged).īlack Mage has a good grab game, despite possessing the seventh shortest grab in the current demo. Black Mage has good priority and reach in his aerials giving him a solid aerial game.īlack Mage is one of the best edge guarders in the game and his guard is hard to break. When fully charged, his smash attacks cover great distances, especially both his down and forward smashes. He has KO moves in his forward and up smash, dash attack (which grants him Super Armor), forward throw, back throw, back air, down air, and Haste.

Black Mage is a medium weight character with below average accelerated falling speed, who has good reach in most of his attacks with many of them having disjointed range. Black Mage uses devastating black magic in his attacks.
