I Need a new way to play

[GeneralD2.0]

Hello, i was hoping to get some help with playing the smash bros. game. Normally i would play with Little Mac and do my best to win. thing is that never happens. i was told by a friend that i needed to broaded my character selection. i agree with on that, but the problem is i do not know the correct way to play the new characters i want to play. i also believe that was the problem with Little Mac. i was hoping that if i put the list of characters that i want to play someone could give some tips or advice on how to play the characters. now i know it is alot of characters but i plan on learning them the best way i can.

• Little Mac
• Robin
• Duck Hunt
• Greninja
• Pac-Man
• Ganadorf

Also i wanted to know if the amiibos are good to practice with, and if so which ones should i buy to use for these characters. i heard that they adapt to the way that you play which would be a better alterative to the CPU.

Please and Thank you

Man, I main Little Mac, playing him online can be DIFFICULT, especially if you don't have a grasp on other characters. For example, I also play a lot of Link. If I'm up against another Little Mac when I'm Link, I feel bad for that Little Mac. I know his character's moves and ranges, and I know the best counters and ways to nullify his get-back in the air cause I've seen them all happen. Remember when getting back on with little mac against better players: B-Forward, Counter, and air dodge are all essential. AND STAY OUT OF GRAB RANGE BY THE EDGE. And get ready to grab them when they counter too. Outrange them with your forward a combo and well timed (and careful not to kill yourself) Jolt Haymakers and have a blast. But from your current telling of events, you do need to broaden your characters, especially in matches against Little Mac, so you can see what Little Mac has to take those characters out when he stops you so you can use it against others later. Also never forget your downsmash is a good way to punish rolls and hit people trying to sneak up behind you, B Forward's away from opponents (but not over the edge) are quick maneuverability if you need to escape, and holding smash attacks, especially in team battles, with Mac makes more sense than a lot of characters because you can soak a hit and hit back with your smash against a lot of weaker/faster moves.

As for the amiibos. They're fun. Are they drastically better than a CPU opponent? I think so, but it's subjective enough my advice would be buy one you really like the model and look to a point you want that little figurine anyway (Possibly even Little Mac), play against it and see how you feel about it yourself.

If you liked my Little Mac primer, I'll do another one of your characters in a later post.

Ganondorf can be kindof hard to be decent as (I call myself decent but I'm probably trash). Anyway, the best thing to do with him is to wait untill your opponent does something and you can punish hard. However, I don't play this way. If you know your opponent you can usually read what they're going to do and punish extremely hard. A combo that you may know is flamechoke to down tilt, but if someone techs the flame choke, its easy to catche them with another flamechoke, a wizard's foot, or a dash attack. However some characters land so fast from the flame choke that they can get out of the combo without teching. If they just roll away you can punish them the same way you would with a techroll but if they get up attack, you can punish with a well timed down air. To get these punishes, you need to read your opponent fairly well. The last thing I want to say before this becomes the great wall of text is that approaching projectile users/spammers is annoying. Usually a nair would take care of some but a power shield here and there will keep the others away. And remember to have no respect

I recommend that you choose two characters and make them your mains and have the other characters as secondaries, it's very difficult to focus of 6 characters equally. Another thing worth mentioning is that all of those characters are generally mid tier characters, meaning they will have some bad match-ups that you need to learn how to cope with.

Pac-Man is is a very good character with a very high learning curve. Because of this, I recommend that that you practice learning how to use his down- B properly.Out of all of Pacman's neutral B projectiles, I would recommend using the orange the most, as it travels the farthest.Generally, I would recommend finding creative ways to utilize the fire hydrant and the neutral B projectiles to fit your own personal play style. While you learn how to do this, I would stick to other characters until you get to a level where you can use Down and Nuetral B to the best of your ability. Side B is one of Pacman's best moves, as it makes it difficult to edge guard Pac-Man as side B kills very early(the farther you travel with side-B, the more knock back it does, it only kills once you have traveled a large distance). Pacman's aerials are all also very good so you should get used to short hopping. Back air and Nuetral air are especially useful. Pac-Man's biggest problem is his lack of kill power as all of his best killing moves(Forward Smash, Up Smash, Side B) are all predictable, meaning I would recommend chasing your opponent off stage to go for early kills.
