Got A Friend Who's New To Smash? Here Are Some Pointers

[The Derrit]

Many players on Smashboards are veterans of the Smash Bros. series, but your friends may not be as familiar with the concepts of the newest Smash Bros. game. If you have a few friends like that, iJustine and Lamarr Wilson have created some videos that explain the series, and will help beginners get into Smash more easily. Also present in these videos is JC Rodrigo, a Nintendo Treehouse member. He has been present at several events leading up to the release of Smash Bros. for Wii U and 3DS, and had a hand in putting together the E3 Invitational - one might call him a community representative of sorts.

Check out the videos below! The first details the basic controls and ideas of Smash, while the second explains how to train Amiibos.

What do you think? Would you like to see more videos like this? Make your voice heard in the comments below!

The Derrit is about to go play his first game of Smash Wii U. Wish him luck on Twitter at @TheDerrit.

Teaching the new guys how to play

 

[Generically Epic]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vckV2MJgBzo not everything will transfer, but it is good knowledge to have.

 

[Aguki90]

This is perfect to everyone. They explained everything very directive and fast. Essy to learn, hard to master.

 

[Pokemon-master]

you can be the princess XD

 

[Patrick Ray]

Is smash really that hard to learn?

 

[warriorman222]

The most important thing might be Up-B. Almost nobody who starts the game will know that their Up-B helps them recover. They should have mentioned that.

This is so stupid. He's literally teaching people to only use smash attacks.
The How to Play in-game actually gives a better rundown than this. Maybe newbies shouldn't ignore those, or rather look for actually good players that would know how to teach the basics.

This. I'm sorry but his guide is misleading, showing basic stuff like walking and jumping that an 8 year old could figure out, and not even mentioning the most important thing: Up-B. Al the damage you do doesn't matter if you die the moment you get knocked off stage.

Soooooo want to play this game.

I've never been a c-sticker myself, having been taught the art of Smash on the 64.

"Put your left thumb on this stick," what else am I going to use? My toes?

Tutorial making 101: respect the intelligence of human beings. If someone is intelligent enough to do a google search and find this video on the internet, pretty sure they at least got that part down.

Also, a lot of these tips are pointless, since they are so basic, it hurts. In my opinion, if someone is searching out a tutorial on the game, then they at least know the bare bones of how the game works: How to move, jump, and attack.

 

[WIZRD.Pro]

He advised us to jump with the L-Stick... WHAT KIND OF IDIOTS DOES NINTENDO HIRE???

 

[Darklink401]

Screw the A and B button. Who needs a third jump?

They hire morons that don't even know how to play the games they play on stream/video. A.K.A: the Nintendo Treehouse.

I legit felt braindead while watching him say you can go entire matches with just the C-stick.

Or "You can C-Stick in the air!" as though there's a such thing as aerial smashes

 

[Lemon Girl]

May as well point out that you need to turn on the console before playing.

The second I saw it was iJustine I left.

But that's an AT.

 

[warriorman222]

But that's an AT.

Actually, the most pro thing is getting to Smash from there. People have practiced all their lives and still cannot master that tactic.

[Zad]

For those that literally can't even.

 

[LiamMail]

I'm pretty sure that a 4 year old knows you can walk using the left stick

 

[sWiTcHeRoO [疾~斬]]

But that's an AT.

I bet even CT EMP P4K BBQ HIV YOLO | Mew2king doesn't know that one.

 

[Espi]

Yo, this is intense.

 

[shlemon]

Woah now, loads of people are being total douches in this thread. This tutorial is clearly meant for people who don't play videogames. Notice how they are all in their 30s at least. Not everybody grew up with game pads.

 

[Mega Bidoof]

FINALLY!
NOW I CAN RUN AND JUMP IN SMASH!!!

THANKS NINTENDO TREEHOUSE!!!

 

[20YY SS | Saiblade]

This guide is ****. Screw your specials, **** the tilts and all the other moves you can do. Oh, and jump with the L-stick? What kind of morons does Nintendo hire?

 

[Mega Bidoof]

People in their mid 30s = born around 1980.

Pretty sure they grew up with video games.

And even if they didn't, I think they could put 2 and 2 together and put their finger on the stick.

The How-To-Play Screen in better than this.

So they need an advanced tutorial on how to read a pamphlet?

 

[WaveDashCash]

HIT STUFF. WIN MONEY.
I don't know what's so hard about this.

Nintendo continues to make cringe-worthy advertising for Sm4sh

 

[Mega Bidoof]

I need to compile a list of all of @ The Derrit 's goofs in his news articles.

One would be deeming this video worthy of an article.

It wasn't even cringe-worthy, it was just......I mean
I think it was literally directed at toddlers.

No, you're giving them too much credit. It's for babies.

I now want Little League Competitive Smash to be a thing.


As in, like literally by like 3-6 year olds. Excite.
