Sheik, a ninja: kicks someone for .001 percent
Zelda, the same person: kicks someone and instantly kills
Sheik: ...

[Mr.Roboto_]

People here learning how to beat other characters, meanwhile I'm here to learn how to use mine.

As a Kirby main, I can tell you how to beat Kirby:
Step 1: You did it!

[josiahtheawkward]

I'd say 70% of my parries are accidental so...

[seanpota]

As a Doctor Mario main, here's how to defeat him:
Step 1: Get him offstage
Step 2: You're done.

[andrezits]

How to fight Joker:

Without Arsene: watch out for side-b, f-smash and downwards gun

With Arsene: *panic*

[mirandatagliamonte]

Bananaboy: Avoid their dash attack.
Me, a Kirby main: Got it. Eat their dash attack.

How to beat Pit:

*Degrade him on his inability to read.*

[jamjam]

As a little Mac main I will tell you how to ACTUALLY beat him:
1. Shield down angled f smash
2. Don’t get grabbed (his grabs are great)
3. Try to hit him while he’s charging a smash attack
4. Don’t attack him in air (it’s where he’s strongest)
5. Respect his recovery as it’s one of the best in the game

[nolaz]

Me, a Ganon main: I wonder what he has to say about my main?

“Do not engage, try to cheese.”

Oh. Thanks.

[k-dawgHI]

How to beat Ridley:

*Remind him that he was the most requested character of all time yet was dumped by the community the moment the game got released*

Also don’t get naired (yes I’m a Ridley Main)

[ShabbyCA]

“Don’t call his arts manados or else the shulk player will beat you up irl”

As a shulk player i can confirm that we do this 100% of the time

[charKT-]

Here's some tips I have:
- Pretty obvious, but don't shield Bowser Bomb. It breaks full shields
- Don't get grabbed by Wolf at 50-60% on ledge as down-throw to Wolf Flash is true and sweetspots if not DI'd properly
- Simillar to what BananaBoy said, don't pressure Luigi's shield if the move isn't safe, as if he parries it or just blocks it, he'll up-B you
- Don't shield Dedede's f-smash as when sweetspotted, it can destroy full shields. The same applies to fully charged Jet Hammer
- When Incineroar has Revenge, DO NOT get side-B'd or grabbed, as he can get some insane damage off of it. 75% from a single attack
- G&W's Judge has fairly slow start-up so if your reaction time is good, you can shield it. But it's risky since Judge-3 and 9 does massive shield damage
- Don't shield Ganon's Volcano Kick as it destroys full shields. It's a pretty decent ledge-trapping option despite how slow it is
- Try and parry or avoid DK's Heabutt as it almost destroys full shields
- Be aware of down-B to up-smash when fighting DK as it's a true combo and kills early
- Respect Greninja's side-B as it kills eariler than you'd expect
- Greninja obliterates linear recoveries with his counter as he can direct it downwards for an easy spike
- Always shield Green Missile as misfire is super strong. It's easy to punish as well, but watch out if he misfires for recovery, it's nearly unbeatable
- Be aware of Snake's up-tilt, it's super strong. Down-throw to up-tilt is one of his best kill setups so try not to get grabbed at higher percents
- Don't shield Litlle Mac's KO Punch as it goes through shields
- Play super passive when Pac-man has the bell when you're at high percents, as getting hit by it is an easy f-smash. Or bait him into using it
- It's not always the safest choice to shield Bowser Jr.'s Clown Car Dash, as if both the dashing hitbox and rollout hitbox hits, it does high shield damage
- Shielding Hero is pretty risky. Hatchet Man destroys full shields and he can easily get buffs to destroy a shield in a single tilt-attack
- Slap your forehead in agony as Pikachu combos you for 2 days straight. Then rage quit once he takes your stock

How to beat G&W


*You don't. Run. Run from him at ALL COSTS. He is not here for fun. He is here to 9 your life into oblivion.*

[rirayejohnson]

"Most Roy players will approach with neutral air like their families' lives depend on it" im ded

[mashed]

*he has revealed our ancient secrets, he cannot be left alive*

[MohamedAhmed-opzh]

24:57 *"You're on your're own from here.."*


Clearly, Mii fighters are top tier cause they can change up their moveset anytime they want.

[Laughy-Flaaffy]

How to beat all CPU level 9 characters without damage:
Play as a Luigi and don’t touch the controller
