Super Smash Bros. Brawl: Difference between revisions

|rowspan=5|Kirby is one of the lightest characters in the game. Added with that is his many jumps, making recovery for him easier than most characters. Since he is light, however, he can be knocked away easily. Kirby can copy his opponents' standard special move with Inhale or spit them out. His Hammer, a strong move, behaves differently depending if Kirby is mid air or on the ground. Kirby's Stone slams on opponents from above while giving Kirby temporary protection from most attacks. Finally, his Final Cutter sends him up while he slashes down. Not only this is a recovery move, but if Kirby lands, it can create a fast shockwave that is a projectile.

|rowspan=5|Princess Zelda is a lightweight, though is fairly slow. Princess Zelda uses magical attacks that are hard to control but are powerful if they hit. If these attacks aren't used properly, she will be very weak.

|rowspan=5|Sheik returns as [[Princess Zelda]]'s transformation after she uses [[Zelda#Transform|Transform]]. While Princess Zelda predominantly focuses on strength, Sheik utilizes speed.

|rowspan=14|The Pokémon Trainer uses [[Squirtle]], [[Ivysaur]], and [[Charizard]] to fight for him, rather than actually fight himself. He mainly stands on the stage, but he occasionally stands on a floating platform in the background on stages with little solid ground. While the Down move is shared, the other special moves are unique to each of the Pokémon, which gives the opportunity for eleven different moves (including the Final Smash).

|rowspan=5|Yoshi is a fast and unusually heavy character. However, he is rather weak, and has an average attack speed. His Egg Throw can be used as a third jump.

|rowspan=5|The Ice Climbers, Popo, and Nana, return from ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'', with an updated appearance. Like always, the player controls Popo, while a CPU controls Nana. They have a good attack range, but their normal attacks are weak, and they are rather light.

|rowspan=5|He is a small heavyweight with great aerial game and recovery, but he has poor range and somewhat slow attacks. Both his outfits from the ''[[WarioWare (series)|WarioWare]]'' series and the standard ''[[Mario (franchise)|Mario]]'' and ''[[Wario Land (series)|Wario Land]]'' series are available, each with their own set of colors. Though he is a heavyweight, he has average strength. His Chomp snares any opponent into his mouth. His Wario Waft, depending on when the last time it is used, can be a potent attack and even an additional jump. Wario can also use his Wario Bike to ram into opponents or as an additional jump, but he cannot have more than one bike at a time.

|rowspan=5|Captain Olimar from the ''Pikmin'' series relies largely on using the [[Pikmin]] for combat. Pikmin must be plucked from the ground (using his standard special move) in order for Captain Olimar to use them. If Captain Olimar doesn't have Pikmin, he will only be able to use a certain range of attacks. When he attacks with the Pikmin, they each have different effects:

|rowspan=5|Lucas has a special moveset similar to that of [[Ness]], and a unique normal moveset. For instance, his up smash is slow, but powerful. Lucas uses PK Freeze, which moves quickly, to freeze opponents temporarily. His PK Fire explodes on contact. Lucas's PSI Magnet, which Lucas deploys in front of him, absorbs projectiles and heal him. Lucas's PK Thunder is an electric projectile that can be controlled, and if it touches Lucas, Lucas is propelled for some distance. This can be used as another jump.

|rowspan=5|Ness appears in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' as an unlockable character. His moveset is similar to [[Lucas]], but differs slightly. Despite being slightly light, he has adequate strength.

|rowspan=5|Luigi returns with a somewhat similar moveset to Mario. Luigi can jump higher than Mario, is slightly faster, and his attack strength is unusually high.

|rowspan=5|Falco Lombardi returns in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' with a similar [[List of moves|move set]] of [[Fox McCloud]] such as the Final Smash, but several differences. He has the highest initial jump of any character, and is very good at aerial combat. However, he is very light.
