Anyone still play SSBM?

[-/Deathborn/-]

I mean,I'm just asking if anyone still plays SSBM,and who they use the most. I use Gannondorf the most,and sometimes Mr. G&W,Ice Climbers,Samus,and occasinaly Luigi.

[MToolen]

OY, how I love this game. I, almost 99% of the time, use Fox. He's just so fast that I can't readjust to other players' slowness.

[Crazy]

I use Link and Samus the most. This game rocks.

[Lord Necrodain]

I toy around with Bowser and Mewtwo from time to time, but when I'm playing seriously, for me it's Samus all the way.

SSBM was the first game I ever popped into my GameCube. 290 Trophies later, no regrets.

[Hikaru]

I went undefeated at Ubercon with Jigglypuff in front of Tycho from PA.

[Little_Pikachu]

Pikachu is my weapon of choice, naturally, but I have a hidden power in the art of Game and Watch

[GreenShirT]

We all just started playing this again after not playing for ages.

I go with Jigglypuff wearing the crown, aka Princess Simo: PH33R!!

[Yoh Asakura]

Pichu + Goggles > Pikachu

I haven't played the game in time, I used to use Link untill I opened Young Link ((I like his Fire arrows and his spin attack better then Link)).

Young Link in black and Kirby in black and white for me =]

[Razola]

Haven't played it in a year. It's all about Double Dash now.

[LumieroMaster]

mario and fox are my best. i just LOVE using mario's spike!

[classy_cat18]

Yoshi rocks. He's the only character I can use to beat my brother when he uses Fox. Pikachu's at a close second, tied with the Ice Climbers.

Suzie and I have agreed that I would usurp you from the throne and become Queen with Jigglypuff.

[Strider]

Got it on the first day it was released, and two years later, I still play it on an almost regular basis. I just can't get tired of it.

For serious one on one matches, I use Falco, Marth, and Captain Falcon the most, while I use Dr. Mario and Game & Watch to a lesser extent. For free for alls, I would use just about any character, really.

[Ultimate Pikachu]

I ONLY use Pikachu, Zelda, Jigglypuff, Young Link, Pichu, Link, Kirby, and Mewtwo. I hate everyone else. Pikachu is my best and Jigglypuff is second, but I'm getting better with Jigglypuff. Advice for Jigglypuff players: Aerial back A is your friend. Pound is great too. You can combo Pound with Rest, but its risky. I stay in the air mostly and when someone gets close, I go crazy with aerial attacks. Jigglypuff has the best recovery and aerial game, so use that. The only time you should be on the ground for a while is to set up combos. With insane aerial game, Jigglypuff destroys fast-falling characters, especialy Fox and Falco.

For Pikachu, play keepaway and attack when its safe. Try to get as many hits as possible before running away. To edgeguard, use up smash, forward smash, aerial nuetral A, or aerial down A. Never charge into a group of opponents, its very stupid to do that with anyone.

Kirby is basicly like a less floaty Jigglypuff. Use Kirby similar to Jigglypuff, but not exactly. One of the best things about Kirby is that he can do a fast fall spike and get back to the edge. Jump out once, use aerial down A, and float back. Your foe may meteor cancel, but chances are the won't make it back. Use aerial up A often. Never use hammer except to edgeguard.

I'll post more later.

[PNT510]

I actually just played this game for the first time in months today. I more or less got owned, except for a few rounds when I played as Jigglypuff, then I did pretty decent.


I don't like the levels as much in the second game. They are to cramped it seems.

[Powarun]

Yeah, played it a few days ago, my favourite players are Link, Mewtwo and Ness. I think they toned Ness and Jigglypuff down abit, from their N64 counter parts, because I remember that I could easily take a team of 3 Links on with hard with Jigglypuff in N64, but now I can't.

[ChesterBLover]

I usually use Link, but I mess around with all the other characters when I get bored with him.....hehheh...my firend hates me when I use Mr. Game and Watch....his beepy sounds annoy her to death..

[Drago]

Ah yes, I indeed use Falco, and I'm hip to all this wave-dashing, and spiking, and combos, and such and such. Hip is such a lovely word.
This game remains the staple party game for my GC, what with the tournament allowing for more than four peeps and such, and it remains such over Double Dash (easier to have a couple fights, since we always go through every single track instead of certain ones), though I grow weary of playing against people who, liek, suck. When you're winning with three stock left over, you're getting bored.
They should've put Koopa Troopa in this game. Really.

[Aipom Of Doom]

yeah :O. I play 1P stadium mostly, so I use all of the characters. I would play vs. but there aren't enough people to battle =[.

HRC, BTT and MMM are fun >=].

[phaedrus]

hm....

Luigi is t3h 0 \/\/ /\/ @ g 3.
Link, Young Link, Samus, Marth, Mario are second best
Falco, Fox, Pikachu after that
Everyone else after them

That's basically it.

[The_Missing_Link]

I use Roy the most because of his decent power and speed. Then comes Zelda/Sheik and to a lesser extent, Fox, Falco and Captain Falcon

I just started playing it again after I saw this topic and I'm still trying to get all the trophies. Tough work though

[VaporeAct]

I was actually playing my 2 friends today. They were on team attack, no friendly fire, and had all the items. I pnwed then 3 out of 3 times. They were like "WHAT THE HELL!? WHICH ICE CLIMBER ARE YOU?" My best characters are Fox/Falco then Ice Climbers/Link/Pikachu/all the rest. I love playing Final Destination with no items. I currently have 292 trophies ( I wanna see Celebii ;-; )

[Musourenka]

My main characters:

Fox, because he's really, really fast (and my favorite character from the N64 version).

Marth, because he has speed, power, and range.

Pichu, because you get bragging rights for winning with him.

[stickachu]

My friends and I still play at least an hour a day... I've more or less played daily since the day it came out. During that time, my favorite character has changed a ton of times. Currently, I use Mario the most.

[Duo_Washu_III]

i think mtoolen uses fox too much...he's my bro. i like roy, and i FINALLY mastered the sword dance. i really like pichu,young link, shiek, zelda, and ganondorK(i mean dorf...yeah...). other than that, i'm happy that i beat my friend timmy (a master at n64 samus) with shiek. WOOHOO!

[The Muffin Man]

My top 3(from worst to best):
Pimpachu - Pikachu with green pimp hat. I may spam Thunder, but only if you're stupid enough to keep jumping over me.

Samus - Super Missiles are unmatched in amazingly fun annoyance. It's so fun to watch them try to absorb/deflect a weak shot then get hit by a follow up Missile...Or dodging the missile only to get blasted with a fully charged Cannon. ^^;; Oh and I can EASILY switch up to full-on Melee over ranged.

Jigglypuff - Fear. Roll-out is amazing and I've been able to handle it to the point of NOT MOVING. Also, Rest can be deadly if you're good at timing, and her other attacks(especially Pound) are quite effective if you're a skilled player. Don't underestimate her.



Also, I'm decent with Falco(been too long since I played him) and decent as Link, but I rarely play as Link. Too much of a noob character...

[DarkTemplarZ]

Marth is off the hizzle fishizle dizzle ^^ He's fast as hell, his range is incredible, and his regular A attack rocks. You don't wanna know how many times I got people trapped near a wall and just slashed them from about 50% damage to 300% and an auto kill just by hitting A repeatidly

Roy is too slow to use his fairly weak attacks. He's easy to combo. His only good attack is Counter, which isn't that good. He has too many counters because of his slowness.

Well, it makes no difference to me because I exploit his Flare Blade like h*ll and have a great time doing it

[Lezta]

Pikachu. Just... fear him dammit.

Or Jigglypuff. Accualy, anyone can air dodge away. But if they're caught off guard or at the edge, it's over. Also, Marth and Roy can Counter, Mr. Game and Watch can use the bucket, Peach can use Toad, and Dr. Mario, Mario, Falco, Fox, and Zelda have reflecting moves. Ness can absorb it. Thunder is only for edgeguarding. Or are you talking about Up Smash . If Jigglypuff is fast enough, it can Rest, but I don't know anyone who can pull that off. Kirby's Stone is too slow and predictable. Pikachu could grab and start chain grabbing like mad, but I don't think Pikachu can chain grab Kirby, I don't fight him. You could always fit in an Up Smash.

~No.

~Thus leaving themselves falling right into an Up-A attack...

~Not Thunder. It hits ABOVE and THROUGH.

Mr. Game and Watch can use the bucket, Peach can use Toad, and Dr. Mario, Mario, Falco, Fox, and Zelda have reflecting moves.
~Not for Thunder...

Ness can absorb it.
~No.

Thunder is only for edgeguarding.
~Don't ever use Pikachu again. You're apparently horrible.

Or are you talking about Up Smash . If Jigglypuff is fast enough, it can Rest, but I don't know anyone who can pull that off.
~6 times successfully for me.

Kirby's Stone is too slow and predictable.
~But drops fast and is invulnerable.

Pikachu could grab and start chain grabbing like mad, but I don't think Pikachu can chain grab Kirby, I don't fight him. You could always fit in an Up Smash.

Please don't ever play as Pikachu. In fact, stick to games like Barneys Hide and Seek. I'm sure it'll keep you from making too many mistakes.

[VirtualPlay]

SSBM was the one game I HAD to get when I (finally) got my GCN last Christmas. I have somewhere between 280 and 290 trophies...286 if I remember correctly.

Best characters? Well, let's see:

Pikachu: One of the faster characters. He has an 00ber up-(B) for recovery/attacking, Thunder is good for juggling stupid foes and computers (or getting that last hit in), nice group attack in his Down-(A). His only real drawback is his (B) is a bit weak.
Kirby: Best character for recovery. Five puffs (not counting his jump) and a very high Up-(B). Inhale is quite useful against some characters, but not all the time. Brick makes him immune to anything but grabs.
Link: Very well-rounded. Bow, Boomerang, and Bomb (BBB) are all very useful for keeping the foe from reaching you, but his sword techs, including a double smash attack, keep even close enemies at [Great] bay.
Mewtwo: Mostly for 1P games. His up-throw is one of the highest-reaching in the game (Jigglypuff is the other), his (B) attack is like Samus's, Disable and Confusion are useful for a short-time upper hand. Not to mention his mid-air jump is pretty distanced, as is his Up-(B).
Jigglypuff: A killer in 1P, against one foe, or on evenly matched teams. Sing is best for team matches (put the enemy next to a fully-charging Roy, anyone?), Rest is good against one foe or if you have someone to cover you, and Rollout is powerful when charged properly. One of the highest up-throws (see Mewtwo). Only drawback is no Up-(B) recovery.

I use others on occasion, but I like those most of all.

Roy is not that slow. Play lightning mode with Roy. It's not slow. Roy is fairly good, but it's not like he sucks or anything. Jigglypuff and Pikachu aren't excactly the best.

Anyway, I love Marth and Roy. Usually with Roy I wait till the opponent comes and slash or just abuse the C stick button when I feel like it....durin Vs Mode of course. Marth I like to dash and slash+dodge.

I like using Kirby's hammer and stone...The enemies are always slwo enough not to dodge it...x_o Air Cutter is pretty useful in
MY opinion, but I wish it'd go a bit more slanted and not so straight up. Inhale is pretty useful for Mewtwo's Shadow Ball and Samus..

I don't find Jigglypuff and Pikachu that great really...Jigglypuff seems so...bouncy. Pikachu is ok, but I prefer Pichu+Blue costume. I just like usin' Skull Bash. =}

[phaedrus]

I lost all my SSBM data so I started over...

At least I've already got Falco and Luigi back.

Luigi rocks.
Did I mention Luigi rocks?
Remember folks, Luigi rocks.

C stick, by the way, I don't like it. A button all the way...

I'm good with all the chars except Bowser....=)

But I really stand out with a few.....

I know this would take a REALLY long time, but it'd be INSANE (cool, not psycho) if someone built a SSBM engine into a server and we could all massacre each other online....

If that happens you might want to watch your back.... you just might get

THE FOSHIZLE MY NIZZLE ON ROY AND MARTH: As you guys most likely know, Roy and Marth have differences that are easy and difficult to tell.

You guys can easily tell their B attacks are very different; Marth's only shatters shields-Roy's gives a OHKO (w/ shield, haven't tried it)....But there's another thing, and I've tried and proven this to be true. Roy is the close-combat expert of the two. With Roy, you want to strike your enemy with your blade as close to the hilt as possible to guarantee the most damage. With Marth, it's the other way. You want to strike the foe with your blade as close to the tip as possible. This way, you inflict maximum damage to your opponent.

I like Marth the best. Range>j00.

RAZ EDIT: Don't double post.

[Hikaru]

Ness can absorb thunder, and if you're playing against a veteran, Kirby in stone form is vulnerable.

[Musourenka]

Fox reflector also defends against Thunder (doesn't reflect, though).

Yup...I've absorbed many a Thunder and thrown many a bomb, as well as dozens of other attacks at Kirby's rock form....I've found out the hard way that Kirby's underside in stone-form is vulnerable...:p

Anyway, I love playing with either Marth, Young Link, Samus, Kirby(sometimes) and Dr. Mario....my friend ALWAYS plays as Samus....he's so cheap with the missiles, but I can still best him:p

[The Muffin Man]

No, you cannot reflect or Absorb Thunder. I know Pikachu better than anyone in this thread. I've seen people attempt to Reflect/Absorb it and get blasted.
