Fun Fun

They seem to be really using Luigis taunts to their advantage.

[PaulMacC]

Luigi, you should take me to the back of the dojo, make me your geisha and then smoke your pipe of satisfaction.
You rock dude.

Luigi, you should take me to the back of the dojo, make me your geisha and then smoke your pipe of satisfaction.
You rock dude.

Why thank a-you.

[KnuxIBF]

Play a little and you’ll soon find this out for yourself, but here’s some advice – when fighting as the Ice Climbers, making sure your partner, Nana, stays alive is key.

Your attacks suffer when you’re alone...

...but together you’ll hit harder and score multiple hits!

The difference is even more dramatic when performing special moves.

Standard Special Move: Ice Shot

Popo fires off a lone chunk of ice that sliiides away.

With Nana by your side, your attack is doubled!

With two shots you can relax, safe in the knowledge that you don’t need to worry about your attack being reflected, since one projectile will cancel out the other upon being repelled.
This will be a constant source of headaches to your opponent.

Side Special Move: Squall Hammer

Popo spins around and around. It’s not useless or anything...

But this is much better!

You can also rapidly press the special-move button to rise higher into the air while doing this move, a secondary function whose rate of ascent is also improved when you perform this move with both climbers.

Up Special Move: Belay

Popo’s just going through the motions here. He probably had to work out a kink in his shoulder.

When you use Belay with two climbers, they perform a feat that leaves you dazzled at the depths of their friendship!

Belay has virtually no effect when performed alone. This is a real example of how you’ll need both climbers for success.

Down Special Move: Blizzard

This short-range projectile move freezes the enemy.

But with the two climbers together, you’re guarded from both sides!

Use it in the air and both climbers will face the same direction for double the power!

Following up a small jump with a mid-air blizzard can come in pretty handy.
So playing Ice Climbers boils down to Nana. It’s all about Nana.
Like a team of skilled mountain climbers striving to reach the peak, you must honour and cherish the bond that binds you with your team-mate as you fight together.

Ahem... And let’s overlook our friend’s occasional impulse to wander off, shall we?

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Standard Special Move: Nayru’s Love

Some sort of crystal forms on Zelda’s sides and revolves around her, shielding her body. It won’t last as long in the air as it does on the ground, so be careful.
The crystal is like a deflector shield. Projectile weapons will bounce off it.

Use it quick and watch it work!

Side Special Move: Din’s Fire

A short burst of flame... Uh, but it’s not too powerful...

Pop!

See, you can’t just use Din’s Fire like that.
First, you have to hold the special-move button and store up flame energy. Next, you have to remember to aim the flame by tilting up and down. Once you’ve stored up enough energy, Din’s Fire is unrivalled!

If you use it right, you can hit opponents even at this range!

If you’re the target of this special move, you can learn the timing of the explosion pretty easily. Get in the air and perform a mid-air dodge (use the shield button while in the air) to try to dodge the attack.

Up Special Move: Farore’s Wind

This special move can be used for evasion and to get back to solid ground. You’ll fly in the direction you tilt the Control Stick at the moment Zelda disappears.

Now tilt the Control Stick in the direction you want to go.

You can go to the side, up or down. It moves you quite a long way, and may be quicker than running. I think you’ll be using this move a lot in The Subspace Emissary.

Whoa! You might not always make it to a safe landing, so be careful!

Show Hide

Falco is a pilot from the Star Fox series. He’s a cool customer who likes doing things his own way.
He has the best initial jump of all the characters, and he likes shooting his Blaster as he leaps about.

Falco's Special MovesStandard Special MoveBlasterSide Special MoveFalco PhantasmUp Special MoveFire BirdDown Special MoveReflectorFinal SmashLandmaster
Tip
Be aware – Falco’s moves have changed a lot since he appeared in Super Smash Bros. Melee.

The spinning 100-slash attack!

Falco’s Smash Attack looks like it could take an ear off!!

Side Special Move: Falco Phantasm

A pretty scary move depending on how you use it.

Slice!

Just like a meteor!

If you do this move too much though, you’re headed for self-destruction, so use it with care.
Or maybe you might want to use your down mid-air attack instead?

Down Special Move: Reflector

The Reflector reflects enemy projectile weapons. You kick it away from you to turn it into an attack.

Kick!

It doesn’t have much attack power, but it can be good for containing an enemy’s attack. Of course, it also eliminates enemy projectiles.

Final Smash: Landmaster

Since Falco’s element is more in the sky, his Landmaster is not as powerful as Fox’s. Its manoeuvrability on land also is a little bit lacking.
However, its flight ability more than makes up for its other shortcomings.

Give a lift to your opponents when they have nowhere left to run...

...then take them off the screen!!

There’s no way for your enemies to hurt the Landmaster while it’s on-screen, so don’t worry and let her rip!

[KnuxIBF]

Yesterday:

Side Special Move: Flying Slam

This is Bowser’s megamonster move: the Flying Slam!

First, he grabs...

...then he jumps...

SLLAAAMMO!

You can even grab someone in mid-air, making this move a real mean one.

He’s diving off the edge with his opponent! That’s not nice!

If this was a stock battle and you and your opponent each had one life left, this would be a win for Bowser since he is on top and his enemy would go off-screen first.
But please don’t worry. The opponent will be able to affect side-to-side movement just like Bowser.

The opponent can fight back.

The effectiveness of this resistance depends on the damage gauge. The less damage the opponent has, the stronger he or she will be able to resist.
Likewise, Bowser will find it harder to control his enemy if he has taken a lot of damage.

Down Special Move: Bowser Bomb

Bowser’s down special move, the Bowser Bomb, is really powerful, but also leaves him really open.

Whoooomp!

When using this move while on the ground, you can attack when the enemy is right in front of you.
If the initial attack connects...

...you’ll launch your opponent up...

...and you can get a combination hit as you drop!

Whichever way you do it, if your opponent dodges, they’ll have you wide open. Try not to use this move at the wrong time!

Stop! Stop! Don’t attack me when I’m helpless!

-----------------------------------------------------------

This might be too advanced to bring up in Smash ABC, but it’s such a good move and doing it feels so good that I want to introduce it.
If you make good contact with Mario on a forward mid-air attack, your opponent will shoot straight down.

Bonnnnk!

This move is called a meteor smash. If you use this move when your opponent is trying to get back to solid ground, well...

Now! Go NOW!

DONNNK!!

Nailed ‘em!

Whoa, don’t forget to recover...

There are actually several types of meteor smashes.

For Donkey Kong, the spot where you hit is crucial when performing a forward mid-air attack.

Kirby’s down mid-air attack can score consecutive hits.

Some of Link’s down strong attacks will cause an opponent to fall as well.

For the Ice Climbers, only Nana can do meteor smashes!

Well, you might not always blast your opponents off the screen, but there’s no harm in remembering these moves.
And this is the last entry for Smash ABC. If you’ve got it all down, then you’ll be able to smash with anyone.

Today:

Show Hide

He’s making his entrance a little late, but here he is – the famous F-Zero pilot, Captain Falcon!
This time around, he’s bringing his pride and joy, the F-Zero machine called the Blue Falcon, to the brawl. This inclusion ought to boost his macho, tough-guy reputation significantly.

Captain Falcon's Special Moves Standard Special Move Falcon Punch Side Special Move Raptor Boost Up Special Move Falcon Dive Down Special Move Falcon Kick Final Smash Blue Falcon
Tips
Captain Falcon is all about legs. He used to be the fastest runner in the entire game... Way back when, that is.

But there’s no outrunning this guy...

Standard Special Move: Falcon Punch

This is the Falcon Punch, a move virtually synonymous with Captain Falcon!

It looks like Snake’s a big fan as well.

This move really works wonders for you in chaotic group matches. Try throwing one out in the fray and your wild punch may just connect with a few opponents.

If you tilt the Control Stick in the opposite direction that Captain Falcon’s facing while he’s winding up...

He pulls a 180...

FALCON PUNCH!!

And there you have it, a reverse Falcon Punch. This move packs juuust a touch more power than the standard version.

Down Special Move: Falcon Kick

Perform this move while on solid ground to shoot forwards straight as an arrow.

In the air, the move changes to a kick that shoots him downwards at a sharp angle.

This move works best as a surprise attack. Make sure you deploy it in a fashion that keeps your opponent from reading when it’s coming.

Final Smash: Blue Falcon

For his Final Smash, Captain Falcon calls in the Blue Falcon! Connect with the Final Smash to pull opponents onto an unknown F-Zero race course.

Come on!

Blue Falcon!

Wham! A tremendous hit!!

Falcon’s the only character with a cinematic Final Smash like this.
Mm hmm. That’s one wild move he’s got there.

[GommeInc]

Ah that answers how his final smash works. Looks cool

[Homesrfan]

Ah that answers how his final smash works. Looks cool

There are lots of videos on Youtube.
I'm so happy Captain Falcon is in.
