Super Smash Brothers Brawl - Page 38

Well, Charizard is actually by far the Pokémon I do best with, and it is easily my favourite, as well. The character has a lot of potential, you just need to learn how to use him right. :wink:

A couple of days ago, while I was really bored, I wondered how long you could put an enemy to sleep for, so I went into Special Brawl, and had a Mega Brawl. I set the Damage Ratio to 2.0, and the opponent's handicap to 300%, and had only Smash Balls appear (well, that and stickers.

), my character was Peach.

As soon as a Smash Ball appeared, I smashed it open, then held on to it until I pummeled the foe to 999% damage, then used it right beside the foe, and he stayed sleeping for 6 minutes exactly. XD

I can't emphasize enough of how bored I was, so I just wanted to do something I never did before, no matter what it was.

Ike is a pretty gimpable character; I've switched my main from Snake to him, lately, and it's pretty easy to kill him. Characters that can knock anyone to a low angle off-stage can murder an Ike from anywhere as low as 60%. He is a solid character, but if you put him up against someone with a spammable projectile, or someone that can easily camp, then you've got a much harder game ahead of you. Just recently, I played a R.O.B in a tournament, and just barely lost by a stock. It was an online tournament, though, so there's not too much credibility there.

In terms of PT, I think his best pokemon is Ivysaur. Good, powerful attacks, a nice projectile, and a decent aerial game. The only thing that makes him bad, persay, is his recovery. All you've gotta do is edgehog him and he's NOT returning to the stage.

I need to keep up with this topic a bit more; if anyone wants to play, or anything, just drop me a PM. i bez allweiz redy for a gaem. <3

I might do that sometime, maybe tomorrow, would that be alright? I probably could've saved everything for that PM, but I just thought I'd just a heads up.

My two main characters are Pokémon Trainer (specifically Charizard), and Lucario. I'm also pretty good with Wolf, and use him sometimes, I can spike foes with him really well, much like with Charizard.

i mainly use 4 characters throughout the course of the game: Ike, Sonic, Lucas, and C. Falcon. i use Ike for multi-man brawl, Lucas for boss battles, Sonic for casual brawling, and C. Falcon for serious brawling.

July 13, 2008, 7:06 PM

Yeah. That'd be fine, honestly. I usually don't have much to do during the day, especially now that it's summer. Just, whenever you feel up to it, drop me a PM.

The three characters I just mentioned are, indeed, my most used characters, but I use other characters plenty as well, I use a decent variety at times, since I'm pretty good at using most of the characters in Brawl.

One thing I must say though, when I have online Brawls, there is definitely some lag...hopefully you're not at the other side of the world, or it might get pretty sluggish.

I finally got a Wii and bought this game yesterday, so now I can actually give my opinion on the characters and the game as a whole. Yay.

Ike is terrible

At the moment I'm playing through Subspace Emissary, and when I went through that castle stage of Marth's it was pretty easy...until I got Ike and decided to play as him. He was so much slower than Marth, and imo his move set was completely inferior.

I haven't even gotten him yet. So far the only Pokemon my trainer has is Squirtle, but I quite like the little fellow.

Lucas surprised me too, I was expecting him to be kind of lame but he's actually very good. I don't know why he screams "PECAN" all the time though. Zero Suit Samus, Pit and Meta Knight are also great additions...actually I was really surprised at the amount of times Meta Knight can jump. He sure makes going after those targets a cinch

Also, I'm wondering why so many people say playing this game is horrible with the remote/nunchuck and that you need a classic controller or gamecube controller. I've been playing it with the remote/nunchuck combination and it's really easy to pick up, I haven't had any problems. And I've seen alot of people on various sites complain about control issues in Emissaries...but I haven't had any o_O Are all these people complaining just REALLY shitty at the game or something?

Marth is a superior character, in all actuality. Better jumps, aerial game, speed, recovery; he's got Ike beat. But, Ike isn't as horrible a character as people think, or like to say he is.

Yes, I don't even bother with Ike anymore. Also, I can't stand using Donkey Kong. He's strong, sure, but lordy he's slow. Diddy Kong is pretty awesome though. I am slightly disappointed they didn't make Zero Suit Samus a completely separate character from Samus in the Power Suit, though...I loved the whip, and the Power Suit is entirely too slow for my tastes.

Olimar is just godawful though. Well actually I just suck at him...but really, is he any good? Throwing pikmin at enemies doesn't seem to be very effective, and Olimar's base physical attacks aren't too strong either.

Also, n00b question: why are only some stickers available for some characters? Almost all the good stickers I want to use are available for Mario and other guys I hate using

actually Olimar is very strong, depending on the pikmin he has. He is a fast character that is very good at recovering from being hit off screen. the pikmin that work best for him are yellow and red of course, but I would suggest not throwing those ones onto and enemy, and only use them for attack, because then can deal a good amount of damage. plus He has by far the best final smash. it is garrunteed to damage everyone else,if they haven't died or gotten a superstar, and when he comes down, if the stage is small enough it will kill everyone.
