Super Smash Bros Brawl Update #69

(Double Update)

Andross

It’s the old enemy of the Star Fox team, Andross! He appears here in his original form, the one with the most impact.

Whoa! He’s huge.

He swiftly moves to the back of the scene…

…and begins inhaling…

…then he spits polygonal panels out of his mouth!

Like a meteor storm, these panels come flying from the back of the scene to the front. Um, what am I supposed to call these things, anyway?

They just keep flying out like crazy!

“Only I have the brains to rule Lylat!”

Uh…OK. He said it, not me…

The actions that really define the personality of each character are the special moves! In Brawl, you can do four different moves with just one button and different directional tilts on the Control Stick.

These are the four types. Control for each is quite simple.

Standard special moves

Many of these are basic attacks, like the firing of a weapon.
(Normal Special Move: Mach Tornado)

Side special moves

These are bold attacks that launch in the direction you tilt the stick.
(Side Special Move: Triple Dash)

Up special moves

These are crucial. They’re used to do high jumps and for recovering when you’re falling off the stage.
(Up Special Move: Shuttle Loop)

Down special moves

Many of these do unusual things, like reflect enemy attacks.
(Down Special Move: Dimensional Cape)

Our model was Meta Knight.

To enjoy more of the depth of the special moves, try holding the button down longer to charge up attacks, rapidly pressing the button repeatedly, or tilting the Control Stick while doing the moves. You might also want to try them in mid-air.

Surprisingly, there’s a variety of hidden uses for many of them.
