Smash Journeyman
I bet a lot of you think you're hot stuff, and maybe some of you are. But I don't care. Maybe this seems a bit noobish when I say this, but specialization is not the key to being a good smasher, but rather versatility. Sure, you may be able to rack up the opponent's damage with Wolf or Toon Link, but how are you with say, Mario or Kirby? You also might excel at Smashville or Final Destination, but can you KO at WarioWare Inc. or the Mario Bros. stage? Let's say you are really good with character A. In fact, you can absolutely dominate with him/her/it. But let's also say that someone else likes to use character B, and has specializes in dealing with the tactics of character A. You can't rely on your normal tactics, so you have to improvise or prepare to send your character to Dr. Mario (that's why I think he's not in brawl, too busy healing brawl-related injuries). If you take my challenge, I'm sure you will notice not only a great improvement in your overall smash skills, but also a notable increase in the metagame of your own main character. Here's how it works:
Every day you choose one character to play as and only use them. To warm up with a character, play a level 4 computer on battlefield or final destination. Once you feel ready, try to do as many of these exercises as possible. A good day would involve don't at least 3 of these (PLEASE NOTE THESE ARE ONLY SUGGESTIONS ON WHAT YOU CAN USE THE CHARACTER OF THE DAY FOR!! you can do what ever you feel like with them as long as it involves you actually using them):
[ ] Play 3 level 9 computers(make sure they are randomized for optimal training) 3 times on 3 stages youusually do not playon. And no, battlefield, final destination, and smashville don't count (turn on all normal and melee stage for random stages and choose random for best versitility training).
[ ] Clear classic mode on at least 3 difficulty levels without continuing, or jut once on intense without continuing.
[ ] Clear all-star mode on at least 3 difficulty levels without continuing or using a heart container, or just once on intense without continuing/using a heart container.
[ ] Win 3 online matches with that character "With Anyone".
[ ] Set the best record of all the character roster in a stadium event with that character.
[ ] Defeat 15 enemies in cruel brawl or 250 in endless brawl with that character.
[ ] Set your handicap to 180% and battle a level 9 opponent and win (minimum of 5-stock or 5 minutes, best to turn off recovery items) at least once with that character.
[ ] Download a custom stage and do the same thing as the first exercise, only you need only 3 plays for it to count.
Do this with every character and I'm sure you will see a change in your game when you are done! So, will you take the challenge?
