Inroduction

Welcome to the top based on the revolutionary game, Super Smash Brothers! In Super Smash Brothers, you battle it out with many characters representing Nintendo! Battle throughout various Nintendo stages such as Peach's Castle, Hyrule Temple, and even a Pokemon Stadium! In this action packed game, every character has great potential skill! Which character has the potential to be your character?

My Smashing

Rawr. As I'm sure a lot of you know, I'm an SSBM freak. I've been playing Super Smash Brothers since it came out for the N64, and have played ever since. On day one, I had always used Fox as a main character without realizing how popular he really was. After going to Melee, I of course used Fox only to realize how different he was. He was much faster, his wavedash made him even faster, and he could preform an infinite Waveshine which is cheap and unbeatable. Noticing that everyone was in love with fox, and he was the most popular character, I figured that he shouldn't be used by me any more since I hate playing mainstream characters. They don't get your name recognized.

So, after I decided I needed to make a change, I went to one of my favorite Nintendo characters. Yoshi. Yea, that's right, I was hauling love with a big bad dinosaur. Not only could he lob eggs at you which completely throw you off, but I can eat you and turn you into an egg Yoshi is rather powerful, no matter how low in the tier list (see blow) he is. He has strong headbuts, strong kicks, and a wonderful shield. He may not have a third jump, but his second jump makes up for it as it is massive!

Anyways, having Yoshi as my main for quite some time made me rather bored of him. Naturally, I would find a secondary character to play. This character was none other than Link. Reason being is because he's a very popular character amongst the Nintendo circuit, but not so popular in the SSB world. Being quite low on the tier list, I decided to play as him. He is one of the characters that symbolizes Nintendo, so I thought he would be a prime character for me. With a huge amount of projectiles, and a wonderful FAir, I could easily destroy my opponent. Although his wavedash is rendered useless, if you tap the joystick twice in a direction, his speed is upgraded immensly.

So there you have it! My two most active characters are Yoshi, with a secondary of Link. Although I've been playing Link more, my Yoshi is much better making him my prime. What are your favorite characters?

Super Smash Brothers Brawl

So far, the only confirmed characters for Brawl are:

Confirmed
Mario
Link
Pikachu
Kirby
Samus
----
Wario
Zero Suit Samus
Solid Snake
Metaknight
Pit




Semi-confirmed
none


The original 26 characters from Melee are NOT confirmed. The interview with Sakurai merely pointed out what would have happened if he had not joined the team. It is not a confirmation.

[Aqua]

Ice Climbers/Samus/Fox.
My most 3 used ones.
Now, I shall pwn you Mikal.
Eat my Ice!

I'm not really good right now, so I'll watch those "advanced move" videos.
I'm going to use Kirby nao.

Edited by Aqua, 27 June 2006 - 06:49 PM.

[Elim]

I like to use DK and Luigi.

[Aqua]

Can anyone tell me which skills are the most important?
L Cancel and WaveDashing, what else?

[MDZealot]

SHFFLING is very important. Watch the Advanced How To Play guide and you'll learn all the essentials for just learning advanced moves.

[Blue Mage]

*goes to read Kirby Guide right now*
I like to use Kirby. I don't know who else to pick so I'm staying with meh Kirbeh.
Ice Climbers are my second, now that i just thought of that. I ALMOST beat my friend with them....Why did Nana have to die?

[Aqua]

MDZ, lets just refer to that as shuffling.
And yeah, I'll watch both videos.

[Te-Jay]

my best are
1) link
2) marth
3) dr. mario
4) yoshi
5) zelda/shiek

[MDZealot]

Well, it's called SHFFL because it's an Acronym. It's a combination of ShortHopFastFallL-Cancel.

It's one deadly combo. Took me a while to master >.>

Dyna, if you don't trust Nana, simply change costumes a few times =P It chances who you use

[_ĶĩŧšūŇë]

I have always played as Falco, I prefer fox's moveset with that leeeetle bit extra power behind it.

Fox, obviously, is my number 2.

[kaosapl]

i use pichu and mewtwo ;__;


pokemon pwns you!

[wofie]

Nu! Pichu's at the bottom of the list thing. o_o I like using Pichu..and kill my self endlessly. XD When I use to play the Nintendo 64 version, I used Kirby. His throw thingy rocks.

[Kergeros]

IMO Falco is overrated, anyone can win with him! But why the hell are Pikachu and Pichu on the mediocre list? I can own anyone with any of them anyday. T_T The video was useful, wavedashing seems cool, I still am mad someone did something my smash bros melee cd and now it won't work.

[Jango]

Wow cool guide, and I love the video in your sig. Anyways my best characters are as follows:

1) Captain Falcon
2) Yoshi
3) Donkey Kong
4) Ganondorf
5) Samus

Yea thats my list, and im trying to master SHFFLING. I have a lot of room for improvement, but I can easily win against local challengers.

Edited by SSjango, 27 June 2006 - 08:15 PM.

[MDZealot]

Great attitude, Jango! Keep it up, and you'll become a great smasher. I love it when people are willing to improve. If you have any troubles playing against certain characters, I'll do my best to answer them for ya, Jango.

And Kerg, youtube some videos by AK for Pikachu. Pikachu is still a very good character with great potential, but most of the time, the fastest characters will be higher on the tier. Pichu is rather self explanitory. Due to the fact that he hurts himself during his attacks, not many will use him because they see it as a huge downside leading them to their demise.

[Jango]

Ok Cool, so I have some questions on how to become better with Yoshi. The two hardest people for me to fight are:

Fox

-When Advanced players use him I cant seem to win. I cant attack from above because he ends up performing chain combos and juggles and it becomes hard to regain my position. Also, when I try attacking from range (egg bomb) his gun is much faster, and the player will usually end up charging me after attacking. So then the fight becomes a ground based-melee battle, and I usually lose lol .

Donkey Kong

-Donkey Kong players are hard for me to beat with yoshi. If I use the egg roll, they use slam. I cant attack from the air because they use the spin move. Also I cant really get close because they usually overpower me.

Thanks for the help! I want to get better with Yoshi, (right now hes my second best), and any tips are much appreciated.

[Omega]

SSBM Awesome game.
Off topic: OMG LIGHTNING OUTSIDE!
ANyways, MDZ great job on making the guide. Rare to see some.
My list goes:

1)Mario
2)Ness
3) Pikachu

People underestimate Ness. They think its "OGM DELY ATK SUXXX" when he actually does 30%+ more damage with his smash attack.

[sheldon]

We should have a Brawl tournament when it comes out Pfft I'll pwn all you Smash Bros noobs.
My best from the top (the best) the bottom (the worst.)

1st) Falco
2nd)Luigi
3rd Mario
4th) ummm... I guess.....eh

Falco
Before I unlocked Falco I liked Fox and Captain Falcon *ewwww* But then when I got falco I noticed that even though Fox was faster, Falco was Stronger and a disability I had with Fox is that he always camouflages with the background and then I never know where I am (especially in Hyrule) And then I alwayas suicde with Fox so I like Falco better.

Luigi
Luigi has that really sexy side B move I don't know what it's called and those super cool moves even though I'm better then Falco I like Luigi better because when I play with Falco the game is just to easy. So I only use Falco when I'm against pros or some people who I've played with for the first time.

Yup, My goal is to use Luigi and beat Very Hard Mode all star With no Continues. =D

ZOMG FRIK I LOST MY SSBM GAME CRAPPPPP GOTTA PRACTICE OR I'LL LOSE IF WE HAVE A SSBB TOURNAMENT GOTTA LOOK FOR IT!!!!!

[MDZealot]

My offer still stands. I'll play ANYONE in a money match in ANY form of SSB game.

Jango;

When he uses his gun, you need to shorthop and launch the egg that way. You can short hop by gently pressing the X button to a point where it's only about half way down. He will jump about half the distance he normally would, resulting in avoiding the shot, but not completely going out of your way, if that doesn't work, roll towards him when he's shooting then give him a nice little headbutt. When rolling, Fox's lasers get nullified, so you can easily get up towards him. Once you get close to him, combo his love and try hard to get him off the stage. Once he does, start edgegaurding so he can't get back up, and make sure he doesn't get back on =P

And against Donkey Kong, all you have to do is abuse his slow speed. Use a lot of grabs (turn him into an egg ) to allow you to beat him while he's down, and jump a lot making him use his third jump. Then, since you'd hit the ground first, try and juggle him and throw some eggs at him.

[Jango]

Seriously, thanks a ton MDZ. Against DK I usually never did grabs (maybe bcuz i was indimidated by his size lol). Also, i never tried a shorthop + egg throw, good to know. Lol now im hooked back to ssbm so I'm gonna go spar against some AI with yoshi. Ill try your strategies. Again, thanks a bunch.
