Played the first ever PokerBrawl tonight, just got finished, and all in all it was a ton of fun. It was just 4 of us playing for $5 each, and most of the rules worked out really well. We did 10c/20c blinds, so the average pot was a couple bucks. With 4 players, if nobody folded, it went to...

Edited top post to include a restricted item set. I didn't want to have to do too much item switching in between rounds, but as per Frey's suggestion, it's nice to have an option for an item set that excludes most of the super-powered stuff.

The game is still new, and my buddies still like playing with smash balls and whatnot. Like I said, if you don't agree with any of these rules, adapt them to suit your own needs. I thought about having an intermediate item setting w/ just basic stuff like bats, pitfalls, star rods, bumpers, mr...

I've recently come up with a fun way to combine poker-style betting with Smash, using a deck of cards, poker chips, and of course, Super Smash Bros Brawl. I have a bunch of friends who play smash, and play poker, but usually aren't up for betting X dollars on a single Smash match or set. Here's...

I'm not going to argue for banning or not banning, because I don't foresee myself going tournament-crazy with brawl, but here's something to think about: If you ever take a class on economics or game theory, you learn about something called a Nash Equilibrium, or the Prisoners' Dilemma. You...

thanks for the ness input. i actually did play against a good ness all summer long (though he wasn't exactly a surgeon with the thunder recovery...) so I know how versatile the DJ is. if ness is coming from far off and has to use the upB, yoshi can jump out and take the PK thunder up the butt...

US East Coast (EST). Maryland to be exact. I'd love to collaborate to work on the guide. I'll tell you that I'm not so keen on breaking down each individual move to describe %'s, knockbacks, and uses. I would have plenty to say on character specific matchups, edgeguarding / recovery techniques...

BOWSER - after an evening of smashin against PXT's bowser... wow. the dair, using the "drag 'em down" technique, is instant death to bowser. it works so ridiculously well. that said, the bowser should try to recover as high as possible to try to avoid letting yoshi land this. i believe if...

on the subject of outdated guides, i'm hoping to compile a yoshi guide once i take him to another tournament or two.

about LINK - i had an interesting little exchange with a decent link player the other day. it involved his upB, my dair, his upB, my dair, and his upB. pretty funny stuff. basically, the dair, if aimed centered and true, can take link out of his upB without any harm to yoshi, but once the...

As we all (should) know, yoshi has two great spikes, his fair and dair, as well as a wealth of other edgeguarding options. Let's use this thread to discuss the best ways to spike or edgeguard specific characters with yoshi. How successful are the various edgeguarding or spiking options...

correction: yoshi has TWO great spikes. fair and dair. don't forget it!

Yeah... try again. About your idea for a game... i haven't seen that exact game before, but it seems a little lacking in potential for variety. Example: one character has ice, the next has fire, the next has water, the next has.... nuclear explosion. game over.
