Hey guys, I watched the documentary a few months back and LOVED it, so when I heard that my school was having a smash tournament I came here first to get some information. I have practiced meta knight quite a bit, and I feel good about my Meta Knight play relative to the people I will be matched against, for 1v1.
My issue is that the first 4 rounds of the tournament are free for all, K/O-fest, for 3 minutes each. So I need some advice as to which characters would be most effective for this style of match, the competition is not good, most people will be bad and not even use shield or any sort of combo/edge-guard. I'm worried because when I play against level 9 CPUs 1v1, I can win every time, but when I set the rules for the first four rounds of the tournament(Free for all/K-O) I only win about 70% of the time, and that is against level 6 CPUs.
It seems that concepts like spacing and edge-guarding aren't really effective when there are lots of players, and that it is just a big jumble of chaos. So do you guys have any recommendations for characters that can ideally be hard to kill, and K/O bad players with ease. I haven't been playing the game very long, so characters that don't require high level tech are preferred.
Thanks guys!
