Session 2:
The goal of this game is to have your opponents off the platform by inflicting damages on them using the character’s special moves. On the bottom of the screen, it shows the percent damage inflicted upon them and the higher it is, the easier it is to KO the character. Before you begin playing the multiplayer mode, you can decide which items you want in the game and how many lives each person may have, that is, how many times that person can be KO’d. I noticed that as my percent damage increases, the weaker the character gets. This game requires you to be fast in reaction in order to block an attack and you have to know when to do an attack that would inflict as much damage as possible to other players.
I haven’t played Super Smash Brothers for awhile so I had to learn the moves again and regain the small amount of skills I had before. As always, I chose Kirby as my character and the battle between two of my friends began. I messed around with the buttons for the first few minutes to find out how to do Kirby’s attacks. Everything started to come back to me and I started to remember the moves.
- joystick down + B = rock
- joystick up + B = cutter attack (sword)
- Z = block
- yellow arrow up = fly (float around)
- B = suck opponents
- A = punch
- R1 = throw
These are basically all the moves you need to know to master Kirby and win.
I noticed that the analog joystick is very sensitive that if you tilt it a little, the character will react to the movement. This game creates a lot of excitement because you don’t know who is going to win in the end, but it could also create frustration if you keep on getting killed. Even though this game might create some frustration to certain people and cause a little bit of swearing to each other, it brings a lot of fun to the players. I like how the screen does not split into 4 sections, but instead one big screen where everyone fights in the same boundary. Even if you are a beginner at this game, don’t stress about it because the more you play, the better you would be. It might be hard the first time, but as soon as you figure out the attacks the character posses, you have almost mastered the game. The fact that many Nintendo’s notable characters are included really made this game a popular one. I give it two thumbs up and people who never played this game should definitely give it a shot. This game certainly requires a lot of luck, but don’t let that pull you back because you never know what will happen in the end.
