Advice to Initiate Scrubs/Non-Gamers

[Kuprin]

As you guys know, the Wii draws in all kinds of people, and this includes Brawl. My immediate family (all of them!) have decided to start playing, and oh god...they're terrible. What do you guys think is a good way to at least get them down with the basic controls, and into things like shielding/rolling/edgeguarding and the rest of the basics quicklyish? They're not the brightest, though I guess not BAD.

Don't think competitive here, this is purely casual for the lulz gaming. Time free-for-alls, items, silly stages, the works. Just help me get 'em past button mashing.

play melee

 

[orange/xd]

do 1v1s so they get used to the controls

 

[Big-Cat]

Have them watch the How to Play video, put them in training mode, and then some 1vs1 matches.

 

[GHNeko]

Show them the basics yourself.

 

[Leisha]

Its not hard to teach the basics in brawl xD

 

[Neo Exdeath]

Show them the "How to Play" videos and then do 1 vs 1 matches.

 

[BSP]

Let them button mash, some people find it fun.

Or just show them the how to play video. And 1 vs 1's are better to learn in than FFA's. No items too maybe? Until they get controls down at least.

Beat the **** out of them till they learn, thats how everyone around me learned.

Didnt have to say a word either.

 

[Leisha]

Its a pretty simple game though, b for specials, a for normal attacks, L&R to shield, X & Y to jump and thats all they need to know xD oh and the c-stick =P

let them spam. Brawl was pretty much ***** by Sakurai to be believed it is a party game.

 

[Leisha]

Pretty much it, ;3

My friends and relatives that play get ticked when they face me because I usually win. I'd say let them learn on their own. Let them learn their own playing style but kind of nudge them along the way with maybe a helpful tip every so often or something like that.
