Project M Beginner's Video Tutorial Playlist

[TheRocan64]

I've always had trouble going over the basics to my friends who never played SSB but wanted to play Project M with me because it looked cool. So, for them and others who want to learn what it takes to really SMASH, I compiled a playlist for that purpose:

Basics

"What makes SSB different?" :

Basics I and II :
Air dodging tricks here don't work on Project M. See "Advanced" for Project M's air dodging tips and tricks

Homework

Be sure to search YouTube for tournament gameplay and pay attention to what they look for, how they react, and some of the combos they preform for your prefered characters.

If you have any other videos for smash beginners, please post below!

The "advanced how to play" shows the basics and is one of the best resources for beginners IMO.

After that, show them "the melee library" and their curiosity will guide them.
