Smash Bros Brawl Control Schemes Revealed

Cruxis Mana | July 05, 2007 | Previews | Wii 
Nintendo has finally given us a small preview of how to perform attacks the new Super Smash Brothers game, and here they are ... Get ready to get Smashing !
There’s a variety of attacks in Smash Bros., and they all involve some combination of strength and direction. Let me start here by talking about strength.

Standard Attack

If you just press the attack button, you’ll perform a standard attack. These are generally speedy.

Strong Attack

When you tilt the stick in a direction, you’ll do a stronger attack in that direction. These attacks usually have longer reach.

Smash Attack

Now, if you simultaneously tilt the stick and press the button, you’ll do a smash attack. These are powerful!

Since the name for smash attack is derived from the game’s name, you can assume they’re pretty important.

Swiftly tilt the Control Stick left, right, up, or down, and simultaneously attack! When you link the feeling of this control with the result of sending an opponent flying, I think you’ll start to see the crux of this game.

At first, don’t over think things. It’s OK to just tilt the stick and mash some buttons. Ease yourself into it.

By pressing and holding the attack button during a smash attack, you can build up power. Power up and unleash it when the time is right!

    I'm using the GC controller for sure. I've gotten so used to it over the years of playing SSBM. It's control scheme fits perfectly, imo.

    See I am trying all of the controls out. Yes GC controls will be easy to use but I'd like to see how the others fair out.

    I think that the new controlls will be interesting. I want to try this out holding the controller normally first, though, because I dont really think that moving will be easy with the D-pad on its side.

    well that is kind of expected of them to make it the same as ssbm, well it is IMO. i have a feeling more people will turn to the GC controler, but i know people will want to use the wii controler to atleast try it.
