"General SSBM advice desperately needed!!"

I've owned SSBM since last Friday and have played it at every possible chance. However, truth is, I trully stink at this game!!
To add insult to injury, I've recently signed up for an SSBM tourney at my local games shop and I really need to work on my game.

Any generaly tips/advice that can be given will be greatly appreciated! Who's the best character to use? I'm quite good at using Bowser or Samus. Are they good choices? HELP ME...PLEASE!!!

I reckon Roy is prettty damn good as well and it sounds funy when the crowd cheer for him so that's always good.

Also do not on any cost be Pikachu, have you heard the chant for him? damn I felt like punching my TV. Pika-Pika-Pikachu Pika-Pika-Pikachu SHUT-UP ALREADY.

Actually he's exactly the same, all his smash's and special moves are identical, except with him they take longer to charge up, but are stronger. Look at the Warlock Punch, that's much stronger than the Falcon Punch but takes a second longer to charge up.

Well I've tried every character and I've found the following good for me;

Captin Falcon: Excellent character, quick, good moves and nothing with stands the falcon punch!

Young Link: I prefer him to adult Link, I've found that his moves are slightly better (especially his spin, up + b).

Link: Not as good as Young Link (in my view) but his moves are very strong

Mario: His moves are good but he doesn't have what I would call a finisher move (like Falcon's punch)

Ganaondorf: Like Falcon but slower

Hope i've been of some help!

P.S Don't use Jiggylypuff

Yep thats right i dont like it dont ask me y it dont seem to appeal to me and ive only played it for an hour and i got bored of it

ummmmmm......you don't .like it.



Not one to argue with opinion, but there is summat wrong here.........

Does ne one wanna buy this off me i bought it today and i dont like it at all?

I tend to use Captain falcon cause he's got a good variety of moves, long range and short range and the Falcon barge is sooo powerful.

Link's another good option, though I prefer young Link cause he's faster.

My fingers hurt after typing all that :-)

Yep, and he has that move where he psychic grabs the opponent and hits them with purple bits, it can be repeated forever.

His disable move is excellent. I charge up a Shadow Ball thingy then when it's at it's biggest, hit sideways to send him into a dodge, as soon as the character turns around I hit the Disable move then I release the shadow ball. Sends 'em rocketing every single time.
