How to Smash Bros
Super Smash Bros. is a fighting game series that involves characters from numerous Nintendo Games. Super Smash Bros is one of the most popular and iconic Nintendo games ad it serves as a celebration for all nintendo franchises. There has been an iteration of smash bros for every major console, and there is a strong competitive community behind these games. I want to start by showing the basics in the newest version, Smash Bros. Ultimate. This is one of the most popular games on the Switch, and is relatively easy to start playing. The Objective of the Game: Smash differs from traditional fighting games because there is no health bar. Instead, fighters have a percent below them which indicates how much knockback they take from an attack. The way one wins in smash is by attacking the opponent and building up percent so that they can knock the other player off of the stage, and in to the blast zone. Moving/Defending: You can move left and right at different speeds with the left joystick. If you push it fully to one direction you will sprint. Using it down lets you crouch and sometimes crawl. Pressing x and y allow you to jump. Pressing jump quickly gives you a short hop. Pressing one of the triggers lets you shield. This can be used to block attacks, however it can break leaving you vulnerable. You can roll or spotdodge by moving the left joystick. You can also grab out of shield. Grabs can go through shields.
