I'm a bit of a B spammer no matter who I'm playing as. I use my specials about as much as I use the entire rest of my available moveset.

And I like Pirate Ship. Basically, you can just sit around at the top of the stage and watch as the other guy gets owned by those cannon towers. Doesn't work so well against spamachu though. You try to hide up there and it's like "PIKAAAA PIKAAAA PIKAAAA" *BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM* *you die*

No, Pit can't really swim very well. He pretty much starts drowning instantly. But then again, he doesn't really need to swim. He can fly!

Wait, he manages to kill himself with Ike's down-B? lulz.

@Rosen: I never actually use the Shield either. Much easier just to sidestep dodge. (down+R at the same time)

i cant even side-step XD im agile, and i last long, but my defence is non-existant other than using thunder as a safety wall for landing ^^;

[Salanewt]

Huh, I always use the shield... Well, almost. I blend it in with my system. It is hard to explain without playing, but it is hard to play without Wi-fi.

Also, isn't it wonderful when you narrowly dodge someone's attack, and make it seem like it was on purpose (it normally is on purpose for me, but...)? As soon as they finish, you can counter their missed attack with an attack of your own. It is really nice when you get them as the lag arrives between finishing an attack and starting another one. A good example is having Yoshi roll out of the way of Ike's side-B, and then using side-A (or the optional side-C, for Gamecube controller users like myself) to send him back.

Have a nice day.

ive done some awesome stuff before. dude A sent me flying and dude B jumped in front of him to try and attack dude A, and i started charging my tackle. i launched at the wrong time, but luckly dude B jumpled and i hit dude A so hard he flew offscreen and died. Dude B (who was sonic) tried to do that really fast kick thats aimed downward and i accidently used that jolt thing that most pikachus used to try and get back on a ledge. thanks to that i dodged, turned around and side-C electricuted him XD

also, i always use the gamecube controller. so much better~

Hey, pirate ship isn't that bad. The only thing wrong with it is the bombs... and the catapult... and the whirlwind... and the water... and... k nvm pirate ship sucks.

And... question... when you guys say "spamachu," do you mean... thunder spamming? Cause if so, I can introduce you to a much more annoying (and more effective) form of spam.

Oh, and for the record, the defensive options are broken in this game. Use them.

[NecrokaRTGreece]

of course they mean spamming.
I like to say: "Fagachus. They spam-at-chu."
buuuuuuut, there is Pit's spinny thing he does that goes on for like evar.

i cant use the defensive options. i can never think fast enough or remember to use them, plus the buttons for them are a little awkward, so i actually do better without sheilds.

[Salanewt]

I prefer either playing at stages with very minor events (like the Yoshi stages, or Final Destination), or at custom stages. In fact, I created a series of stages that I called the Torture Huts. This also makes use of spikes, conveyor belts, and blocks positioned to make it hard for people to get out.

Oh, and for the record, the defensive options are broken in this game. Use them.

I always use them. I mean, a shield on command, dodging, and even just rolling to the side are so useful. I hate how Lucario's Aura Spheres can break my shield so easily though (with the rare sphere bouncing off of the shield before another hits me).

For spam, it is hard to do so with some characters. For example, Yoshi can not spam unless all you do is constantly repeat one or two moves, but Meta Knight has so many attacks, like his hurricane move (or was it just called tornado, I forget). I like to use all that I can though.

Have a nice day.

Wait, there are people who play Brawl without the Gamecube controller? Laaaame.

[Tetsuya the Azure Blade]

The Wii controller sucks @#$. Who even wants motion sensitive games anyway?

[Salanewt]

I would. But for certain games, I prefer the Gamecube controller. After all, most of the systems that I have ever used have the same basic shape (pretty much every Nintendo console and handheld that I own has a similar shape, whereas the Wii is a bit different).

Also, Charon, are you aware of the quick attacks? You should try them sometime (but A has to be used instead of the C toggle). For example, when on the ground, hold the movement toggle in any direction, and keep tapping A.

Have a nice day.

The Wii controller is good for some games, but NOT Brawl.

Yeah. I figured that out before C-sticking XD

[NecrokaRTGreece]

one of my former aquaintances used the wiimote for brawl. its so stupid that it gives me another reason for wanting to throw him in a small pot hole and drive over him a few times.

I didn't ask if they meant spamming... I asked if they meant thunder spamming. lol

Because unlike thunder spam, jolt spam wins games.

And pit is annoying >_>

i cant use the defensive options. i can never think fast enough or remember to use them, plus the buttons for them are a little awkward, so i actually do better without sheilds.

Aw... why don't you use a custom control setup so that it's less awkward? Personally, I find the default to be very nice, but that's probably just because I'm used to it from melee.

I hate how Lucario's Aura Spheres can break my shield so easily though (with the rare sphere bouncing off of the shield before another hits me).

Do you like... not let go of shield or something? I know yoshi has the worst shield in the game, but still... you shouldn't be getting shield broken by lucario's aura spheres, especially the tiny ones.

For spam, it is hard to do so with some characters. For example, Yoshi can not spam unless all you do is constantly repeat one or two moves,

That's my yoshi right there! Bair and dsmash ALLLLLLL DAAAAIIIIIII. lol I'm so bad with yoshi. I never really played with him much, so I never incorporated all the pivot grab shenanigans and stuff into my game.

[NecrokaRTGreece]

oh lol. yeah, they meant thunder spamming, but there are so many ways to spam with pikachu

as for the sheild thing, its just the way the buttons are. i dont know if i can, but i guess i should try to see if i cant set the sheilds thing to the X-button. i also cant grab either because all the bottons on that part of the controller feel awkwardly placed to me. only the trigers on the xbox360 controllers seem fine with me. **shrugs** just how i am i guess.

and your right, leaf. o.0
unless your being gangbanged by 3 lucarios, your sheild should be doing better than that, Sala.

Really? I did not know his shield was the worst. I thought it was Jigglypuff's, because she can kill herself if you are not careful with it. Yoshi's is the only special one though (go eggshield!). Anyway, he normally breaks it when I dodge. Computer Lucarios do little to me, but it is when my friend uses constant spheres. I always try to find a way to get out of the corner without being hit, but I end up getting hit when I dodge (something like that). The rapid spheres hit me during the tiny lag that occurs before going back into the shield, and then they keep hitting me after that, preventing me from using another shield. I can easily kill my friend though, but there are those rare events during which I can do nothing. Of course, the charged spheres break my shield instantly as well, dodging or not.

Have a nice day.

SHAD.

Short hop air dodge. Generic way to deal with projectile spam that works with every character.

Yoshi has the worst shield in the game because of two reasons: 1) He has more than twice as much shield drop lag as every other character in the game, and 2) He can't jump out of his shield. Together, this makes for a very bad combination. While he carries the benefit of not being able to be shieldstabbed, it doesn't outweigh the major negatives of his shield. Jiggs's shield is mediocre since she can get shieldstabbed pretty easily, but it shouldn't ever break.

It's kinda funny, because in smash 64, yoshi had the best shield in the game. He had something players called the "block cancel," which was essentially an early form of the powershield. There was a glitch where timing your shield well as yoshi caused it to cancel the shieldstun that attacks normally dealt out, which enabled fast retaliations. Remember, shieldstun was huge in that game, to the point nearly every character could shieldbreak combo, so yoshi being the only character that could do this made him pretty special. Unfortunately, that specialness got taken away from him in melee, where every character gained the ability to powershield, which relegated yoshi to having the worst shield in the game for both melee and brawl.

[Charon]

It took me a little while to realize that Pit technically has two shields o.o His Angel Ring and his Mirror Shield...

[leaf]

*two reflectors

They can both reflect projectiles. They're not both shields, though. He does have two shields: the normal shield that every character has and the mirror shield, but the angel ring isn't really a shield since it doesn't stop physical attacks. Thanks to that mirror shield, he's the only character in the game that can shield in the air =p

I usually do that, but it can be difficult in some of the custom stages that we normally play in (especially my Torture Huts). It would be extremely useful in several of the stages that I designed specifically for Yoshi though, including my beloved Yoshi's Dream 3 (I think that is still the name). On that stage, I designed small areas that should work for every one of Yoshi's attacks, and then enough open space for his other attacks (the ones that can not really have specially designed sections, like B or his A attacks). I think I will describe this stage later, since it is one of my favourite stages that I designed just for Yoshi.

Have a nice day.

Sala, instead of explaining, why don't you just upload the stage file?

Anyway, who here wants to get their face beaten in by ganon? Any takers?
