Advanced How To Play for Brawl part 1 (preparation)

[Wak]

Hi guys.

I finally decided to create the Advanced How To Play for Brawl. Maybe I would have done it before but I don't have any Wii, which is sad ._. In two days, a friend of mine is coming in here and will stay for X time. He has a Wii and we will record some footage so I will be able to create the video!

My path to do the AHTP for melee was:

1. Get the most used / useful techniques down
2. Sort them
3. Create footage
4. Create video with explanations

last time I sorted everything that way:

Vid 1
a. How to shffl
b. How to wavedash

Vid 2
c. What can you do while shielding
d. How to tech / recover
e. Techniques on the edge

Vid 3
f. Dash techniques
g. Jump canceling
h. DI
i. Additional techniques



BUUuuutttt things have changed, we need to restart everything now. There's a video k10 has made, I took the list of the techniques showed and we'll start with that. Thank you k10 by the way

Red: won't show how to do it
green: Will show it
yellow: not sure yet

0:11 - Fox Trotting
0:28 - Jump Canceled Up Smash
0:56 - Reverse Jump Canceled Up Smash
1:26 - Smash Boosting
2:13 - Grab Boosting
2:45 - Reverse Grab Boosting
3:02 - True Pivot
3:24 - Dash Pivot Cancel Smash
3:43 - Pivot Grab
4:17 - Glide Tossing
4:41 - Jump Canceled Throw
5:30 - Forward Smash With An Item
5:49 - Short Hop Air Dodging
6:14 - Turn Around B
6:36 - B Reversal
6:58 - Hugging
7:20 - Speed Hugging
7:56 - Credits

My addon:
edgehog
Edgehop
Recovery technique
DI
(wall jump)
(powershield)


I'd like to mention what I'd call the only offensive technique invented for now with the airdodge, which is going to your opponent from above, airdodge to dodge his attack and when arrived on the ground, you have no lag while your opponent has lag because he tried to hit you with an attack... so you can attack him directly. I'll give it a name soon or later.



So, we have these techniques down for now:


Short hop
Fastfall
Jump Canceled Up Smash
Smash Boosting
True Pivot
Turn Around B
Speed Hugging
edgehog
edgehop
recovering, are there any techning in this game yet? I always airdodged in the air before to land on the ground...
DI
Wall jump
Powershield

not that bad, 14 techniques. In melee I had 24 to explain...


So now, if you think you know a technique USEFUL AND USED BY A LOT OF PEOPLE, THAT MOST OF THE CHARACTERS CAN DO, go ahead

 

[K10]

If you need good quality footage, I can provide it. Just tell me what to do and who to do it with.

 

[Wak]

I'll be allright with the footage, but thanks for offering
I highly prefer to do this stuff myself, I'm kind of perfectionist and no one would give me the footage I really want to have except myself...

 

[ChronoTrigga]

Your melee video was what got me pretty good on a tournie level. For melee.

 

[Wak]

Stupid Wak. Added short hop and fastfall to the list.

 

[iEatPikmin]

In the last video, you included CG's. Would it be a good idea to add those into this video, too? And maybe something about Laser Locking/Ice Cube Locking with ICs? I know only a few characters can do these techniques, but I think people might want to know about them to counter them or something? Just my two cents.

 

[Wak]

Yeah but only 2 characters can do it...

Since there are less technique to explain in brawl I might do some other second hand videos featuring special specific characters techniques.

 

[Vro]

Advanced How to Play: Brawl.

Step 1: Insert disc.
Step 2: Turn on power.
...

I'm sorry, the name of this thread just made me lol. I know you made the AHTP for Melee, but I'm sorry, the notion was just hilarious to me.

 

[Wak]

Yeah, I know what makes you laugh guys don't worry
But still, people that uses advanced techniques are already clearly better than average brawl skill level.
