I'm sure it's already been discussed somewhere in the topic, but how do most of you feel about edge guarding?

If you're up against an opponent who's too fast/defensive/powerful(when you've got a lot of damage), I think edge guarding could be a "last resort" strategy.

However, I myself almost never do it unless I need to save my own life, nor am I bothered by edgers due to the fact that most of my characters float/fly over the edge anyway. XD

Another topic to bring up is the Kirby suicide method. Suck them up and drop off; my friend does this often enough when he's Kirby until me and others are at his throat with a nunchuck. :P

um... why not? I don't fight for honor in Brawl, I fight TO WIN. And to disuse Kirby's great edgeguarding game/Kirbyciding wastes a lot of his potential.

Hahah, that's what I think. Kirby is way more fun roll-dodging and hammering the hell out of unsuspecting slowpoke-players.

If you don't think meteor smash killing the opponent with dair/Final Cutter when they're around 20% isn't fun, I really don't know what to say =/

I'm not as experienced with Kirby as I am the rest of my list.

Peach's love-bump attack is fun to use, although it gets 'gay' comments from who I battle. XD But I get to give a giant OWNED if I end up frying panning them into oblivion.

Pikachu's thunder ftw. I get abusive comments (and punches) all the time from it, but it just owns in combo with D-smash. Yep, very predictable, but with D-smash being an unavoidable move (lasts longer than a roll and has such a large hitbox) and pikachu being so low when he uses it (no getting hit by projectiles!) there's little chance of the strategy being stopped, unless you're dumb. Just D-smash, F-smash and aerial them until their damaged, knock em high up and thunderspam! yay! so many 3-1's using that strategy.

edit*: oh, and it works as a great edgeguard, it's possible to triple thunder off the edge and still QA back to the stage.
Down with people who use images in signatures. Boo to you all.

MY Top 10 (in order of how good I am with them):
1. Lucario
2. Luigi
3. Meta Knight
4. Kirby
5. Toon Link
6. Link
7. Pikachu
8. Pit
9. Sonic
10. Wario

u can check my Brawler card for more details.

i tend not to use Kirby's stone move as a guard much, since you can be grabbed out of it. it's more fun to crush ppl with it. :D

what's ur fastest Target Smash times? for me it's:

Level 1: 12 sec (Sonic)
Level 2: 24 sec (Sonic)
Level 3: 18 sec (Pikachu)
Level 4: 27 sec (Sonic)
Level 5: 28 sec (Sonic)

and, not to sound n00bish, but what's edgeguarding?

I prefer the GMC Controller so any moves I mention will be described with that format.

My top 5 (Order I'm Best with)

1. Pit*
2. Kirby**
3. Meta Knight
4. PKMN Trainer
5. Capt. Falcon

*With Pit, I just keep pressing B while holding left or right and it just keeps going and going.

**I suck up my foes, then jump off of the side, spit them out at the last minute, and then I safely fly back up to the stage again. Evil lol


When I first got the game I was so desperate to get Mewtwo, even if it involved haxxors that I got Rick Rolled on "Youtube."

On yoshi's island I've managed to suck at spit them out of the screen so they die. I also found Kirby's "turn to stone" as an excellent guard. Someone used Lucas and didn't do a thing to me. Not to mention Pit's angels
Just to tell you, using stone is pretty much asking for the opponent to start a chaingrab/grab combo on you.


Fun fact of the week: Did you know that with 252 SpD EVs, Bold Cloyster's SpD increases by 50%?

Greatest regret in Platinum: Selling almost all of my Star Pieces.

I'm not into any of that tier crap or anything, but the Super Smash Bros. games are my favorite series ever. It combines pretty much all the games I grew up with (always been a Nintendo kid), specifically my two favorites, EarthBound and Pokémon.
