[edit] Smash attacks

  • The standard attack, almost always fast.

Standard Attack

  • For strong attacks and running attacks (Hold down the control stick or pad in the direction that you tap- after you tap, hold it down to keep running, and then press A to execute the running attack).

Strong Attack

  • Having the same name of the game, smash attacks are powerful attacks that are very useful. They are not the more powerful of attacks for some characters, but they certainly have launching power.
