A Casual's Guide: Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo Wii U/3DS

Maybe you're interested in the competitive scene and want to play in some local tournaments. Or perhaps you're just sick of getting bodied by your friends when you invite them over. Whatever the case may be, this guide will get you on the fast track to improving yourself. I'll run you through my analysis of every character and give what tips and tricks I have for them. You'll also get a crash course on simple techs and fundamentals to get to know the game better.

I use two tier lists for reference:

and

I encourage you to do a little research of your own. Guides on Youtube and Smash Boards are very helpful, but make sure all information is caught up with the latest update (ver 1.1.6)

I welcome any and all questions since this guide is intended for players who already posses a moderate level of experience. However, please refrain from posting comments on things I may be missing, for this guide is planned to be a work in progress for a fair bit of time. You may send me a message instead if you are so inclined. More content will be added for as far as my knowledge will allow and as I see fit. If you want to play me in Smash 4, you can message me and we can exchange 3DS Friend Codes.
