Mario Strikers Charged/Characters

Character Stats

 * Movement: Determines speed.
 * Shooting: Determines shot power.
 * Passing: Determines passing speed.
 * Defense: Determines how far a character can slide tackle.

Character Types
Each character has a type. Their type will determine their stats and what kind of deke they have.


 * Power: High Shooting and Defense, low Movement and Passing.
 * Defensive: High Movement and Defense, low Shooting and Passing.
 * Offensive: High Shooting and Passing, low Movement and Defense.
 * Playmaker: High Passing and Movement, low Shooting and Defense.
 * Balanced: All stats are equal.

Dekes
Deke is a defensive move activated by pressing any direction on the D-Pad. Each character type generally has the same kind of deke.


 * Power: Stands still in one place for about two seconds to deflect any nearby opponent.
 * Defensive: Teleports to the direction the control stick is pointing. The distance the character teleports depends on the color of the ball. This kind of deke can be used to teleport into the goal.
 * Offensive: Jumps up in the air and knocks away any character that he/she lands on.
 * Playmaker: Does a flip to dodge attacks. Passing can still occur while in midair. Boo instead phases out for half a second. If timed correctly, you can bypass the goalie and score with this deke.
 * Balanced: Gets a slight speed boost to dodge incoming attacks.

Captains
Captains are the lead character of your four man team. They are positioned in the front. While some captains have the same stats, they each have different special items. Special items do not affect the goalie unless specified.

Mario

Luigi

 * Type: Balanced
 * Item: Super Luigi
 * Notes: Super Luigi functions the same as Super Mario.

Yoshi

 * Type: Balanced
 * Item: Egg Roll

Waluigi

 * Type: Defensive
 * Item: Wall-Luigi
 * Notes: Wall-Luigi gives Waluigi a speed boost and creates a vine wall in his path. This move is great for trapping himself for a Megastrike.

Dry Bones

Boo

 * Type: Playmaker
