So, this was originally meant for a Melee read, but the majority of what's written in these posts can be applied to any fighting game, BRAWL (to an extenct) included...
I take no credit for these posts, by the way. Hopefully, a little read will spark something in the newer Kirby mainers who've wanted to know how to start improving:
The Competitive Mentality
Footsies
Execution
Reaction, Unorthodox Moves, & Experience VS Study
Hit Confirming & Punishing
Pressure & Zoning
Escaping
How To Learn Match-Ups
Tier Lists and Discussions (omit the Melee list if you want)
Take these posts seriously, and make sure to read them thoroughly! They're VERY good reads, written by a VERY good player here (who retired from the Brawl scene due to it being more limited than Melee... I don't blame him, since from what I've seen, he uses both Marth and Fox like a mofo).
This might be better off in the General Discussion forum... But so we Kirbies have an useful topic and no one else does...
EDITED FOR UP-TO-DATE
