| LEVEL 15: GIRL POWER YOU: Choose (2 lives and tiny) COMPUTER: Samus, Zelda, Peach (2 lives each) This fight is similar to the last except you're small and the battlefield is smaller. You're going to want a character with strong and easy to pull off moves. Therefore, the same old techniques IU keep bringing up work pretty well here, like DK's pound the ground. I also found that items can really make a huge difference here. A lot of bombs and poke balls dropped when I played this one. If you can let the computer get blown up by the bombs and get all the poke balls, you should have a pretty easy time. LEVEL 16: KIRBY'S AIR RAID YOU: Kirby (1 life) COMPUTER: 10 Kirbys All you have to do here is KO all the other Kirbys with warp stars before the time runs out. Wait til they're all near a warp star and send them flying! Remember also, you can hold a direction after you get on the warp star and change where you land. LEVEL 17: BOUNTY HUNTERS YOU: Samus (1 life) COMPUTER: Bowser, Captain Falcon (1 life each) You have to KO Bowser here, but you can't let Captain Falcon KO him. It's pretty tough to write a consistent strategy for this, you just have to try to smash Bowser off yourself. I've had Captain Falcon fall in the pit a few times. If this happens, it makes it a lot easier. Whether or not you have problems here, if you keep trying you should eventually win even if it's by some fluke. LEVEL 18: LINK'S ADVENTURE YOU: Link (2 lives) COMPUTER: Link's Shadow (2 lives) Link's shadow is the same as Link, and he's also the hardest guy you've fought so far. The computer AI is set at a pretty decent level here. For those of you who remember Zelda 2, Link's Shadow is the last boss. Anyways, if you're not good at combat, this is going to either train you to fight better or make you give up on the Event Matches. Link's Shadow likes to grab you or jab at you with quick sword blows. An excellent strategy is to make him follow you somewhere and then right before he gets to you release a smash move, preferably a forward smash move. You can often get him into rhythms where he keeps jumping into the same trap over and over. Getting the good items that sometimes appear will help tack on some additional damage too. And don't forget about the strong DOWN and A and UP and A while in the air. These thrust moves are pretty strong. As an additional point of interest about this stage: If you get really hurt badly, fighting in the tunnel in the middle of the stage is a good idea. It's very hard to KO anyone while they're in there. So he won't be able to KO you very well, and you can take him down with you. This is only good when there's no timer like on this event. LEVEL 19: PEACH'S PERIL YOU: Mario (1 life) COMPUTER: Bowser, Peach You can't let Peach die here, that's all. Sometimes you might get unlucky breaks with the items, but overall this isn't very hard, especially if you can beat level 18. Beat up Bowser and much as you can! Even if he starts hitting Peach, that makes him vulnerable for a smash move. It doesn't appear as though he can smash her, either, so he'll have to hit her a lot to knock her off. I ran this stage accidentally once without touching the control and it got down to 18 seconds before she was KOed... Kind of funny. LEVEL 20: ALL-STAR MATCH 2 YOU: Choose (2 lives) COMPUTER: Samus, Link, Zelda, Captain Falcon, Fox (1 life each) This is just like the first All-Star Match, only a little harder. Samus will go down very easily, and so will Link. (Smash, smash, smash!) When you fight Zelda, make sure you lure her to one of the sides of the stage and knock her towards the edge if you can. This Hyrule stage you fight her on can take forever to KO someone on since it's so big. Luring characters to an edge will help save time. Anyways, on to Captain Falcon. He's pretty tough and he tries to use some good B button moves on you. His weakness though is his own stage. He often has trouble getting back onto the level and likes to get hit by the cars. Smash him as much as you can and try to take advantage of the items that fall. When you get to Fox, see if you can hit him with a few forward smash moves right away. He'll probably walk right at you as soon as the level begins. These computers aren't a pushover, but with practice you should be able to take them out. You're going to need the practice for the later events... |
