What Should I Know About Advanced Tactics and Matchups in Brawl?

[DeliciousOctorok]

I played Brawl a lot a few years ago but I've taken a huge break from it. There's going to be a tournament for Brawl at my school and I want to practice it again, although I don't think I learned everything that's needed to be learned in the game. I mostly played Dedede and Wolf and all I knew how to do was:

• DACUS
• Turnaround bairs
• Edgeguard

Even for the DACUS I had tap to jump turned off, but for the tournament we won't have time to go through button configuration to turn it off, and I'm having a hard time doing DACUSs with tap to jump on. Also, I've seen people land on platforms very seamlessly in tournament and I'm wondering how I do that.

Finally, for the tournament there's a 3 time character usage limit, so I'm planning on just using the top 10 characters on the tier list. What should I know about matchups for these characters?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but with a rule set like that are any of these people even competitive?

The people who made the rules aren't competitive, but that doesn't mean there won't be people who didn't make the rules who will be competitive and entering.

Hmm I suppose you're right. The best advice I could give you is just read the MU guide and see what beats what lol.

with a ruleset like that I highly doubt you'll find many other competitive players.

just go metaknight snake falco and/or ice climbers.

Arlgithy then. I was planning on just learning the top 5 characters and playing them anyway lol. What would you guys say is the best "anti-scrub" character other than Meta Knight? Like, gimmicks and mashing won't catch me off guard with a certain character.

I feel like wolf does well against people who don't know how to stop him. He has a good range on his F-Smash and his Down-B hit can be good. Maybe Snake and spam F-Tilt? Also you could try Diddy, and throw bananas at people and then smash them.

Yeah I was thinking of Snake because he's such a stable character, but Wolf is a good idea too. It's nice because I used to main him along with Dedede 2 or 3 years go.

Haha alright. I'm thinking of learning Diddy too so I'll have to get glidetossing down either way.

I'd even go G&W, he seems like the anti-scrub type.

But if you wanted to be cool you could go Jigglypuff and pull off a Rest and watch everyone freak out when they find out that move actually does something.

I feel like I took you more seriously because I read your message in Double D's voice.
