When Marth jumps, he loses access to the keys of his movement game--his excellent wavedash and dashdance. He also becomes unable to abuse his ridiculous grab range. This is compounded by the fact that he's pretty floaty--the jump is a commitment of movement for at least half a second. This lets...

I play both Marth and Roy pretty regularly. They have a lot of the same strengths--strong movement game with good wavedashes and dash dance, disjointed hitboxes, long grab range. In all of these areas, Marth is slightly stronger, with a slightly faster wavedash, longer dash dance range, longer...

I "played" 8 games with maxed turns (4 controller afk)--ran into several bosses but didn't see a Metroid until the last game. The inconsistency can be frustrating.

I found nair and bair to be great as spam moves. Projectiles are really weak in all star so don't bother. Multihit moves are generally bad, so don't use fair or usmash, but uair can work through platforms. Dash attacks are generally good, the CPU doesn't seem to handle them well and Samus is no...

Finally beat it with Olimar, although it took 4.5 hours and 26 tries. Up tilt and nair turned out to be the keys, they don't kill till like 200 but that's better than his other moves. U-smash and f-smash are alright for killing but not until like 175, plus they're hard to land. F-tilt is the...

Instead of relying on up-b, jumping under the stage lip and toss a bair towards the ledge is very effective. It'll clip the mii's on the edge and kill them quite easily. I got 15 kills in about 3 minutes with Lucina.

I never realized this until someone else showed me, but when you hit a block, it reveals the part of the picture underneath it. There's no relation to the number of hits. So hit the blocks while they're moving across unrevealed parts of the picture, then it's pretty easy with all but the...

Anyone have tips for doing it with Olimar? I've completed True All Star on hard with 41 characters by now (plus all three Mii's, just for fun) and none of them are remotely as hard as Olimar. (Villager is pretty close). I'm pretty sure that the same indirect special rule applies to your...

Jumping under the lip of the stage and throwing out a bair can hit the Mii's through the floor when they're close to the edge and will definitely kill them. I used a combination of this technique and throwing to reach 15 kills with Lucina.
