Prepare Yourself! A Character Strategy Guide

Prepare Yourself! A Brawl Singles Strategy Series​

Hey so I have halted a character board frame trap compendium i was working to gather footage on how to combat top tier characters in this game. While I will start with MK, Diddy, Falco, Snake, IC, Marth, and Wario, I do wish to eventually transgress the cast in its entirety. So I would love to hear the community's input on strong tactics that come from the following characters: MK, Diddy, and Snake.

Note: If you feel that you have found some strong options vs a particular scenario or tactic the topic character utilizes then post it as well!!!

The first video is going to be MK ( surprise surprise)

For those of you who were able to check out Tyrants AIB blog he created to help the community, this project will be similar in nature except all answers will be assessed by some of my cohorts before being placed into the video.

I originally intended to put up this video already, but I would love the community's input so that all these are covered to the best of our abilities.

As far as the main people helping me out.......

- Mike Haze (brotha)
- Tyrant ( brotha)
- C.J ( you've already helped out a bit and would love some more of your input)
- Tuen ( just like C.J hahah)
- Delux ( since we are always discussing mechanics...)

Also if there are ANY other Smash Lab personnel, Pros, or exceptionally knowledgeable players that wish to aid me in this project PLEASE PM me. So lets have it shall we? The video can be as good as you all want it to be; we've just got help one another.



And please no banter and P1 vs Jebus battles.


That is all.

Are you going to say if you should play offensively, defensively... for each character?

 

[C.J.]

Blah
I'll get to it after this weekend. Going out of town tomorrow/Saturday, concert on Sunday, rehearsal on Monday.

 

[Ghostbone]

Not sure what this is about.

So you're making videos on each character's options in certain situations against a certain character?
So like, talking about how everyone can punish nado after it hits their shield and stuff?

Bingo. Thats what Im going for. I hope that once i get the kinks worked out, I can make video per week to the tune of Assist Me by Maximillian

 

[vato_break]

dang this sounds tight, can't wait to see it :D

 

[B.A.M.]

No questions on MK situations? Really? This is mad saddening. Is the OP not clear enough? Well I guess I should just get started on the video then..

 

[Flayl]

Uh nowhere in your original post does it say you need questions to do anything

@Flayl: Maybe questions was the wrong word but yeahhhhhh

 

[Ghostbone]

Well for MK, there's his f-tilt on shield, and the options he has from that (continuing or not basically) and the opponent's options (character dependant, also depends on whether you predict him stopping after f-tilt 1, 2 or 3)

There's also aerial up-b > glide attack punishing the air-dodge/landing. (don't think it frame traps anyone but maybe Peach, though it's good when you have a read)
Or similarly, aerial up-b on shield pushing them off > glide attack.

You probably already have this, but if not, talking about strategies to beat glide attack would be good. (most multi-hit moves, and any transcendent projectile/item)

 

[Ishiey]

So... this is basically going to become a collection of effective tactics for every character, correct? Sounds like a pretty worthwhile project It'll be a while before you get to Wolf, but once you do, I have you covered.

For Snake, I find grenade pull > grab (dthrow) to be pretty effective. MK's dtilt > dsmash to cover rolls behind is good too imo. Might as well throw in the frame advantage/disadvantage on his ridiculously safe glide attack too :x

 

[SFA Smiley]

As far as gdubs options vs mk stuff, we xan punish nado with upb by either hitting with it oos or blowing him up with the windboxes. Also if we ps shuttle loop we can uair him or rising fair oos. We have dthrow tech chases on him and dash attack outta dthrow... he ***** us on the ground though. RC is our stage though we're better than he is on that stage.

 

[B.A.M.]

just letting you all know I had a huge family issue to attend to ( my brother nearly died trying to save this girl). So sorry about the delay. Im going to work with MikeHaze to get the first one out ASAP.

 

[Grim Tuesday]

I can tell you everything you need to know about Jigglypuff's options, not that anyone cares lol

 

[SaveMeJebus]

I can help out in the Diddy/MK MU

 

[Roxas M]

Another idea you could look into, since you meet up with MikeHaze and Tyrant a lot, is to do some sort of video about them. Since you're familiar with the SF scene, as well as videos from people like Maximillion, hopefully you've watched Mike Ross's Cross Counter Guide to Ryu Feat. Air. This could easily be adapted to a "Marth Guide Feat. MikeHaze, or with any top player + their Main character.


I could also give you any help with marth(not that you would need much more after talking to mike and tyrant, but no harm in offering) or some video editing assistance.

 

[B.A.M.]

@ Roxas M: Very true Zane. Ill look into that.

 

[Bertroll]

Hit me up sometime on AIM or something I'm working on the same thing different approach

 

[Sunnysunny]

Cool, can't wait to see the lucario one.
Hell i'll watch all of em.

 

[B.A.M.]

im going to start releasing videos after Apex! so turn in soon!

 

[B.A.M.]

Im starting this stuff up now. Get ready for videos coming soon.

 

[DeLux]

eagerly awaiting

 

[SaveMeJebus]

Who's going to be the first character?

Diddy's strong tactics are

1. His perfectly spaced glide toss
2. His monkey flip with a banana at hand
3. Peanut camping with a banana in front of him and a banana at hand.
