Thanks to GameInformer doing an interview with the champion of the Nintendo Super Smash Bros 3DS National Open Tournament, we are able to provide you some tips and tricks for a leg up on the competition. Sam Buzby provided some of his thoughts and techniques to make sure you are well equipped to be the best in the room.

Speaking on tips in general, Buzby says, “I think the simplest tip is to just learn your character. Learn how far their moves go, learn what the combos are, learn what options you have to punish someone who’s rolling a lot. For example, when I play Sheik and I see someone rolling a lot I’ll just go and grab them because I have so much grab speed I can easily catch up their rolls. Or if I think someone’s going to air dodge, I’ll just use charge attacks.”

If you’re a newcomer to the game, Buzby has some suggestions in what characters to start out with in saying, “I think Mario is a really good character for starters. Bowser, Donkey Kong, Diddy Kong, Link, Sheik, Lucina is basically the beginner’s Marth, Ike, Robin, Kirby, Little Mac of course, Charizard, Lucario. Wii Fit Trainer. Ness too, as long as you can learn how to use his up B to recover, I think he’s good for starting.”

Despite using Rosalina to win the tournament, Buzby says he thinks another character is the best in the game. “Rosalina is most fun, but not the best. Good enough to win [and] still a very good character. I think Sheik is the best right now. Out of the new characters, Rosalina is the best in general and as a whole. ”
