By mini strategy, I mean a quick little combo of a few moves to rack up some damage on the opponent.

For me, it's either have to be Game and watch with Helmet (dash) then Octopus (Up-smash), or Robin with Arcfire (Side special) and then a solid Forward air or back air.

also sorry if the terms are wrong, I'm new to competitive smash terms -u-"

Throwing a white pikmin onto some poor soul, then grabbing him so he can't shake it off. Gotta love doing 40% in about 2 seconds.

Throwing them, you mean. Not every smasher is male ;)

As for me, with Kirby: dair > jab is very nice to rack up damage. With Villager is just keep sending lloids and shooting with the slingshot on the opponents face

Luigi: D-throw to f-air to f-air. Gotta love Luigi's d-throw i this game. At very early percents, it actually goes straight into up-smash!

I always use mario to use quite possibly the most overused combo ever, Down throw and up tilt attack over and over.

Hehe, I must've been tired when I posted that. Normally I take that type of thing into account. Sorry!

Also, throwing a boomerang with Toon Link, grabbing my opponent, pummeling them (xD) until the boomerang comes back, doing MORE damage, then back throwing.

Feel like batman.

That never works for me, since my opponent always escapes. Am I timing it wrong? Anyway, I instead use d-throw to up-b--way more reliable, at least for me.

Peach: Grab, pummel, down throw, bair (sometimes uair depending on the damage percentage). Always does the trick.

Villager: Any wacky thing I can improvise with ftilts and nairs.

Mega Man: Grab, pummel, downthrow, fair, dtilt, sometimes usmash or fair again depending on how my opponent tries to escape.

Zelda: dtilt, dtilt, ftilt/fsmash.

I think it only works for about 5 hits, Still works for me though.

Captain Falcon's Dthrow, SHUair, then UTilt. If you're really quick, you can spike them and take 1 stock in about.... 8, maybe 10 seconds? Nothing funnier! xD

I wouldn't really post strategys on here, who knows? maybe the next player you'll face on for glory could be someone from here and they would know what your using to avoid it, but that's just me.

Grab>Pummel>Pummel>Pummel>Upthrow>Upair
this would totally work

If Rayman were in smash.

not really a combo but when i play jigglypuff i can usually get a rest after landing a hit that makes them tumble on the ground and then space my self so that if they roll towards me its a guaranteed rest. i catch a lot of people doing this especially if i never play the same person twice and save it for new games. i punish a lot of rollers this way too. a lot of out of shield rest against dash attacks and ledge attacks. you can out of shield rest yoshis egg roll and i think sonic too but i havent been able too yet

Bowser Jr. up-special; blow 'em up with the falling clown car and then hit them with the hammer while on your way down. Works well on any CPU or novice player who lets it happen, and can be devastating to the tougher Smash Run enemies.

With toon link I will throw my Boomerang away from my opponent, get behind my opponent and grab him, I will keep hitting him and when he gets out of the grab the boomerang will come back and hit him and then I will get a free UP+A.

Mega Man.

pew pew peSHORT HOP, MOVE BACK. pew pew peSHORT HOP, MOVE BACK. pew pew peSHORT HOP, FAIR EVERY NOW AND THEN.

It's barely even worthy of being called a strategy, but it's surprisingly effective.

As my Main Man :4ness:, I occasionally like to juggle my opponent a bit with PKT, and then see if I can land an Uair on the sucker! And I'm not sure if this counts, but I also try to punish players with grabbing.

If someone juggles me and i'm playing :4larry:, I drop my Clown Car on top of them and see the car go boom on their face.
