Super Smash Bros is the ultimate Nintendo creation. It combines nearly every character created by Nintendo, especially the famed and well-known classic fighters like Mario, Link, and Kirby. And then they brawl! They'll team brawl, complete missions, and even have the good old one-on-one brawls. This is the classic Super Smash Bros concept, but with their latest game, Super Smash Bros Brawl, all kinds of new portals are opened. There are more landscapes, items, and (best of all) characters. New additions such as Snake, Pit, Sonic, and Wolf takes the game to a completely new level. There are even four controller options for this game! You can choose between the Wii remote, Wii remote with Nunchunks, Gamecube controller, or the Classic controller. Not to mentions, there is even a final smash for all characters! With all these options and additions, even the most skilled Smash Bros player might get a little confused. I'm here to help you keep that winning streak!

Now I assume that if you are reading this, you already know the basics of melees, jumping, and shielding. However, basics aren't going to get people too far. You need to know strategies and tricks to best your opponent. First of all, you need to know about good character selection. Now, most people say that every character has its own qualities. However, I would say that some characters just shouldn't be used. I would say those are Mr. Game&Watch and Olimar. There are just too many reasons why I would not pick them. One reason that stands out is their weight (characters have weight classes if you did not know this already). Mr. Game&Watch is the lightest character in the game and can be easily blasted away when its damage is at a mere 60% (due to experiments in training mode). It also has moves that are quite weak that does little damage. Olimar is also quite light but its weight is not much of a problem if you like fast and lightweight characters. However, it has only two moves that cause damage and they cause very very little damage. So these two characters, I would not recommend for anyone.

So there is your character selection guide. Now you need to master some techniques. The most basic type of move is the melee. You can choose different speeds and power along with direction. You have the regular melee, which is quite fast and gives a big advantage to some characters. However some characters are strong but slower. Therefore, I would stick to strong attacks (stronger than regular melees but weaker
