Super Smash Bros. Brawl (Wii): the 5 best tips

The "Super Smash Bros. Brawl" brawl game for Nintendo's Wii console is a bit complex - so we'll show you the 5 best tips on how to survive battles better and decide for yourself.

Tip 1: The considered shield use in "Super Smash Bros. Brawl"

The shield is an important element in "Super Smash Brow. Brawl" to decide fights for yourself.

• With the shield you can ward off punches, kicks and throwing attacks.
• However, you should not use the sign too often, otherwise it will become weaker and weaker.
• If you use the shield too often, the character will also be motionless for a short time.
• You should therefore often use the shield to protect yourself from your opponent's attacks, but never risk losing it.

Tip 2: issue the embroidery jump in Super Smash Bros. Brawl

In the standard settings, the character jumps when the analog stick is pointed upwards. However, this is not optimal.

• Due to the double assignment of "Jump" and "Up" it can happen that you make "incorrect entries".
• In the control options you can assign a separate button for "Jump".
• This will make your attacks more precise and you can control your character more closely. It is worth getting used to.

Tip 3: Upward, severe "rescue attack"

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, the upward-facing, heavy rescue attack is no longer an all-purpose solution.

• After the rescue attack (top + B) the character has a relatively long "cooldown". That means she has to recover and cannot immediately use the attack again. You cannot quickly repeat the rescue attack.
• In addition, slowly "sail" to the ground after the rescue attack. In this process, you have little defense and no character control.
• Since you are very easily attackable at this moment, you should not use the rescue attack aggressively.
• A better alternative is a light attack (top + A) and then evasive (Z key).

Tip 4: dodge and roll in Super Smash Bros. Brawl

In addition to the shield, there are two other methods of defending yourself in battle.

• You can perform a role with the shield button and the analog stick (right or left). With this you can perform a quick movement (roll).
• If you press the shield button and press the analog stick down, a short animation starts and you evade.
• In this short animation you are invulnerable, but you get a short cooldown. So you are unable to carry out another attack for a brief moment.

Tip 5: important game element - the edge

The edge on the sidelines is very important for the fight in Super Smash Bros. Brawl.

• If the character falls off the platform, the character grabs the edge (if it is close to the edge). This makes you invulnerable for a brief moment.
• By pressing the attack button, the character jumps back onto the platform and attacks immediately.
• With the shield button you can roll back onto the platform and are invulnerable for another moment.
• You can also push in one direction with the analog stick and push yourself off the edge. A crack in the wall or an air raid could result.
• Only one character can "hang" on the edge. So you can "occupy" the edge and let the opponent fall down.
