What's your Specialty?

Do you specialize in spamming, close combat, defense, evasion, etc.? I'm just curious to what fellow brawlers specialties are.

I am a defensive/close combat brawler. I destroy all approaches against me, and I punish hard.

So what's your strong point(s)?

I want to meet someone who knows more than me about Pit's defensive game, specifically concerning the mirror shield.

Shield grabbing. Whenever I shield an attack (Instead of sidestepping/roll dodging/air dodging/jumping), I almost always try to grab the opponent immediately afterwards. It's starting to become kind of a habit.

I'm also a bit aggressive, so I guess I'm more of a close combat person rather than a camper/projectile user.

Close Combat probably, or Long Ranged Combat, my defensive game is okay... but I still need practice with SHDL.

My first main was Pit. I was pretty good; I could beat all of my friends (except when they played MK). I used his Mirror Shield quite a bit to avoid a lot of ground sweep attacks and projectiles. Now I use Peach and Marth.
I'm a spammer.

jk.

Who do you think would admit to that?
Spamming is "bad" in Brawl, yes. However, one notable thing to consider (and I considered this when I mained Pit) is if your opponent will just let you pwn them w/ light arrows, do it. It's shameful, but overall, yeah it's effective. I'm no noob, I was excellent w/ Pit aerial game, but if they won't come to me and fight me, I'll camp and spam. It's a simple strat. really: arrow spam at ledge. Opponent is forced to come up-close to try to punish spam (because noobs just spam til they're smashed). Smash opponent off stage. Use aerial moves to keep them from recovering. But, I think I play defensive overall. I always have to do the second move; meaning I can't charge the attack, usually.

My Air Game has been getting much better from the start, that's for sure.

Aerial, Defense, Evasion, and ...Side Stepping (I'll just call it that).

Counter specialist.

Oh, also quick KO-ing. Therefore... ground play.

Faux-offensive/Momentum-based player
I'm also grabby and like playing off-stage.

At the core, I'm an aggressive-defensive player. I'll run, jump, attack, whatever, and make it look like I'm approaching, and after the first move (or.. lack of it) is made by the opponent, I try to start my pressure game. I feint and fake movements ALOT. I'm really momentum based though, so if I get a good start and 3 interruptions/hits, I'll probably have that stock. But if I slow down or the opponent starts to reverse it, I really am at a loss sometimes.

I guess I'm good at adapting to my character's playstyle. When I play as DK I do a lot more tilts and fewer specials than when I would play as Pikachu. When I play as Olimar I use more grabs and less aerials than when I play as G&W. So I guess I have no specialty because you can't play the same with different characters.
