I made a small tutorial for one of the Challenges in the game, Meteor Smashing three level 9 CPUs while facing four in three minutes. It can be applied to anything with Meteor Smashes. I hope it's useful to someone, and if not, at least it got me to finally upload all those videos I took.

Never thought of this thanks! I love cheesing these. For 300% handicap I just made the only item fairy bottles. For level 9 cpu fights I made the only item poke balls and assist trophies and Rosalina and just down B over and over and take them all

For 300% handicap, an easy cheese is to play a 1 stock on a walk off and do the classic throw off-stage at 0% kill.

I haven't played smash since like the gamecube version and am now really bad, what characters are good for getting scrubs like me back into the game? So far I'm best with Samus and OK with Donkey Kong.

Lucina, Mario, Pikachu and Roy are characters I'd suggest to learn since they're pretty straightforward and don't have any mechanics that are too out there

e: I would suggest Peach/Daisy but they're kind of advanced with their floats/turnips (just mash side B and you'll do alright)

I saw a youtube video claiming Ike was a good choice for a beginner particularly if you want to learn the mechanics of the game. If you're after a good time play anyone except Little Mac.

This week's Spirit Board event is Mario characters. You know, in case you needed an excuse to get your rear end kicked by Pauline again.

I guess somebody has to like him because, no joke, I honestly think he's maybe the second worst character in the game behind Kirby. Which is a shame because I really like Kirby and...well, I don't care about Pac Man since I don't play him but I at least want him to be better than he is now.

Is that the bullet bill one? The trick I used was to rush for each bullet bill, then shoot straight down. Hitting people as a bullet bill isn't as strong as catching them in your explosion, so shooting straight down when you can clip like 2 people makes that fight much easier.

Yeah, but it goes a bit higher than that. Even Smash 4 had every character viable to whip out at a tournament and do somewhat well with and Ultimate is slowly turning out to be...mostly the same way, with some exceptions. But what I'm saying is just because a character is (or at least considered to be) the "worst character" doesn't inherently mean they're unplayably terrible. It doesn't even have to meant they're bad. It's just that they're not as good as everyone else, and somebody has to be the "worst" just as somebody has to be the "best."

You can do well as Pac Man or Kirby or Duck Hunt or whatever, but you sure have to work for it. The way I see it, why put so much effort into learning a character when you can get the same results with half the effort on another character?

I played a few hours online with Kirby the past two days and I had a decent time vs everyone except adult Link. Every fight vs him was a disaster. I don't understand why a single character needs to be that lethal at range and up close. At a distance it's a constant barrage of arrows, boomerangs, and bombs. Then when you get close it's a sword with great reach in front and behind Link. And don't even think about attacking from above because then he turns into a blender in the sky or waits on the ground with that loving sword.

Link ruined all my fun.

Most dumb Link spammers don't grab. Run up and shield is pretty safe as nine times out of ten, they'll do some stupid unsafe move if you get with a one mile radius of them for no reason. If they do grab, they'll almost always do it at precisely the exact same time. If they charge up arrows, just jump over to approach them while they charge, and abuse neutral air dodge for stuff like boomerangs. If they're being annoying and just rolling away when you get close, read it and dash past them or do a turnaround smash/tilt.

I guarantee you that, from my experience, these Links do not learn nor will they ever change their strategy, even when it isn't working.

I didn't say you need to play Smash in a 100% competitive level. When I said "[x character] feels really bad and you have to work a lot to do well as them," I'm referring to their ability to perform in a 100% competitive level, where such a criticism would be most pertinent.

He's very thoroughly okay... But his playstyle is completely brainless and boring. Olimar players probably have fun doing taxes.
