| SUPER SMASH BROS. MELEE MASTERS ARE HERE |
| LEVEL 34: SEVEN YEARS YOU: Young Link (3 lives)COMPUTER: Link (3 lives) This one have me a lot of problems back when I first did it. You have to really learn how to handle combat well before you can win this one. Young Link here seems to have a disadvantage cause his sword is shorter. But there are a few moves you can do that will work pretty well. The best one is the downward thrust move. Jump in the air and do a smash move down on Link's head. When he's hurt a lot, it'll send him flying off the stage. Do not ever fight the on the floating things. The computer will usually flip around you and then smash you off the stage real easy because it can bounce you off the bottom of the main platform. Sometimes you can get the computer in a pattern where you smash it off the edge of the main platform, and when it jumps back up you smash it again, etc. Also, every once in a while it will just accidentally fall below one of the floating platforms and die. I'm not sure why it messes up like this, but if it happens it's great. This goes for any stage: if you can get your hands on an umbrella or beam sword, you'll really have an advantage. LEVEL 35: TIME FOR A CHECKUP YOU: Luigi (1 life)COMPUTER: Dr. Mario, Peach (1 life each) The computer here is pretty hard to beat directly. Obviously, if you can win this through direct fighting, then go for it! If not, then I found a trick that can allow you to KO Dr. Mario without attacking or taking much damage. Hang out in the pit. If you start the battle and just jump in the pit (I think it works on either end but I got it to work twice in the right pit last time I played). Jump out at the last second and just keep jumping in the pit and jumping at the last second. Quite often, Dr. Mario will follow you in and sometimes he ends up falling all the way down. If you mess up and end up about to fall in yourself, just pause and reset the match. Once Mario's KOed himself, taking on Peach is much easier than it was before. However, she's still going to be tough, so don't get too excited. Try to hit her if you can, of course, but your real advantage will be if you can get some good items to use on her. Once you get a few good hits on her, she's pretty easy to hit off the stage, so just keep at it and you'll get her eventually. LEVEL 36: SPACE TRAVELERS YOU: Ness (1 life) COMPUTER: Samus, Kirby, Fox, Captain Falcon, Falco (1 life each) This is actually the last event I cleared. I think it's one of the hardest ones! Ness is not an easy character to use if you don't practice with him much, and you only get one life to KO all five opponents. Samus and Kirby are very easy and can be taken out in a snap. Sometimes Fox is easy also, but Captain Falcon and Falco are just really hard! You have to get real good at KOing the first three so that you can get practice on fighting the last two. I like to jump over to the right side as soon as the battle starts, put my back against the wall, and bat (Forward smash) Samus and Kirby away until they fall off. The other smash moves that Ness has aren't very good at hitting people off, so stick to the bat. The computer will probably keep coming back for more over and over, which should give you a lot of practice smashing. Charge the smash move to make it go faster. If you stand where I do, Fox will appear right in front of you as soon as Kirby is KOed. If you can, Anticipate this and charge up a smash as Kirby is going off to smack Fox when he appears. The same strategy often works on Fox that works on the first two, but sometimes he's a little harder to KO and will beat you up. Just keep recovering and getting into a position where you can keep batting him away. Ness's down and A move can hit him over and over to take his life down fast. Also, if you're lucky, he'll fall in a pit for no reason. Now for Captain Falcon. The key to this is not to get too scared of him. Sure, you might want to run away from him, and go ahead. But you can often just smash him when he's running at you. Try using the down and A kick as well. It's really effective! PK Fire is ok to use sometimes as well. (Forward and B) If it hits it'll stun your opponent and you can get a free smash afterwards. If you get a screw attack, you're in luck. The screw attack, when used well, can hit Captain Falcon (or Falco if you get to him) almost as much as you want without him ever hitting you. Just keep jumping back and forth into him. With practice, you should be able to take out the Captain eventually. Falco is really hard to KO, though, since you'll probably be pretty hurt when he comes. If you can get a beam sword or some other good item, it'll be a lot easier. Otherwise, just do your best and use the same strategy you've been using. It's all about how well you can fight. Good luck! LEVEL 37: LEGENDARY POKEMON YOU: Choose (1 life) COMPUTER: Four Giant Wire Frames and a Jigglypuff (2 lives each) To win this stage all you have to do is summon all the Poke balls that appear. Jigglypuff will try to beat you to them, so choose a character who you can move quickly to beat him. Most of the time the Pokemon who are summoned are extremely powerful. You are allowed to knock the computer off the stage yourself, but it's easier to mostly rely on the Pokemon. Winning this battle will cause Pichu to challenge you if you don't already have him. |
