Wii - Smash Bros. Brawl

So, after having played some more I have decided to use Lucas as my main. His smash attacks are great and his PK Thunder is great because it hits the same opponent multiple times.

I've played through the adventure mode and unlocked the three other characters so i have everyone now (which in turn unlocks more play modes and such) -- mind you, I did it on easy mode.

Now, I tend to be playing Pit a lot -- mainly because of his fly/recovery -- it helps a lot since I am tossed around very often.

Some of the characters are very gittery (like fox -- i can't get him to stand on the really small floor sections, he always ends up walking off when i turn him around, for example) and a few of them have moves that just make me suicide myself (squirtle to name one)

But over all, speaking as someone who is not coordinated for today's game consoles, while i was expecting to have more difficulty with the controls, I don't have _too_ much trouble with this. I use the classic controller. Though I rarely use the grapple or shield just because those buttons don't come to me as naturally as the others - someone told me I can remap the buttons? I may hunt around for that some time...

I think Pit is a good character too. His ability to fly around for a short period of time is very helpful. I find that I like the lighter to medium characters such as Mr. Game and Watch, Pit, and Lucas over the heavier ones like Bowser or King Dedede.
 

I'm really liking Zero Suit Samus, but I kind of suck with (normal) Samus... and if there's a Smash Ball floating around, I can't just not get it and let someone get their final smash off. I need to either learn to use Samus as well as ZSS or main someone else. I apparently can't pull off the code fast enough to make Samus drop her armor.
 

All you have to do is select Samus then hold R until the match starts. Then all her armor falls off during the character entrances, so you can start in the zero suit.
 

Oh, I can start as ZSS, but once I get the smash ball (as I said, I have to go for it so I don't get final smashed), I turn back into Samus (or, I just don't use it, and it eventually gets knocked out of me so someone else can get it) and I'm forced to play Samus (until I get a smash ball again, which is harder because I'm not as good with Samus). There's supposedly a way to turn into ZSS again while Samus, but I can't get it to work.
 

Ah ok, I misunderstood you. My fault. Yeah, you can do up-taunt down-taunt up-taunt quickly and do it, but I've never pulled it off myself. The timing is pretty precise.
 

Yeah, maybe I'll have more luck with the Wiimote setup instead of the Wavebird.
 

This is probably common knowledge but something I only recently found out (I don't read the brawl boards and what not so everything I know is from playing on my own or from friends)...

Kirby, after he swallows someone, he changes his hat to match the foe and mimics one of the eaten foe's powers (using the same button that was previously used to make Kirby swallow the target) -- it was cute when I realized it :-D

Snake -- on his stage, if you hit the down taunt a bunch of times, he gets a radio transmission that tells him about his foe and the foe's tactics (or a weakness). This is actually how I learned that Kirby mimiced powers or that a good way to fight Ike was with ranged attacks. :)
