Super Smash Bros is a great game series because of the fact that you can play it
casually with your friends without knowing the advanced techniques that people
that play the game at a higher level use. It's also surprisingly deep, with many
techniques that are not in the instruction booklet, such as l-canceling and
wavedashing. So, this is a quiz to see how well you really know the game of
SSBM. Take it if you want to or not; this is a quiz designed to be difficult and
to show how much of SSBM is unknown to the average player.

EDIT: Note that the answer key is the third reply to this thread.
ARGH! I love this game! But, being the stupid me, I traded it in. I'M SOO FREAKN
SUTPID! But I realy love this quiz. If its alright with you, may I copy and
paste this so I can give this to my friends? And also I can realy thing about
this and try to remeber so I can post my answers here?
1. C) Samus. Samus' short hop is one of the highest ones in the game (if not THE
highest), making it impractical to use it when approaching.
2. Ness, Mewtwo, Yoshi, and Peach. Note tha DJC means Double Jump Cancel; when
you use and aerial during their double jump, they will stop gaining altitude,
unlike other characters.
3. Peach. Float canceling is using Peach's float, then using an aerial and then
landing during it. The result will be that Peach will perform her standard
landing animation, instead of the animation from the attack that she
did.
4. Ice Climbers. Sheik's DThrow can only bring her so far; Ice Climbers can
chain-throw from 0% to death against certain characters, including Bowser and
Sheik. Chain-throwing is the action of throwing an opponent, grabbing them
before they can escape, then repeating.
5. B) Zelda. Surprisingly, Bowser's wavedash is indeed farther than Zelda's;
she's tied with Peach for the worst wavedash in the game. A wavedash is jumping
then airdodging diagonally into the ground, resulting in a sliding motion with
white smoke surrounding your character. A good wavedasher can wavedash
consistantly without making his/her character pop up due to the jump.
7. C) Ganondorf's aerial down+B. It's so powerful that if you catch your
opponent under the stage with this at 30%, they'll most likely die.
8. A) Dr. Mario.
9. B) Ganondorf's aerial down+B. Fox's DAir is a meteor smash, albeit a very
weak one. Ganondorf's aerial down+B by definition is a SPIKE, not a meteor
smash; there is a difference: spikes cannot be meteor cancelled.
12. Shine (Fox and Falco's down+B aka reflector) and Rest (Jigglypuff's down+B);
both take 1/60th of a second, or one frame to attack.
13. B) Dr. Mario. Spamming BAir on an opponent attempting to recover will almost
always result in an easy kill.
14. Ganondorf.
15. Pikachu. If sweetspotted and uncharaged, then the mouse beats the fox. ONLY
if it's uncharged though.
16. A) Ganondorf. Being "caped" is when you are flipped by Mario or
Dr. Mario's cape attack when you are trying to recover. Ganondorf's recovery is
easily predicted, and thus easily caped by either character.
17. C) Dr. Mario's FAir. Doc's FAir will pop them into the air, instead of
slamming them downward.
18. E) All of the above. Captain Falcon and Fox's sweetspot is right when the
attack comes out (and for Fox you must hit with the foot that Fox is looking at)
and Zelda's sweetspot for both attacks is the heel of her foot.
19. A) Samus. If you don't use FAir, then it's possible.
20. E) Ganondorf's side+B. As quoted from Kirby Still on Top's Spike Moves FAQ,
"For this spike to work, you must execute this move when you are directly
above
your opponent, and attempt to only hit them once, much like Jigglypuff and Fox's
drill kicks. This is one of the games weakest spikes."

Wow, you guys are really fast... I was in the middle of creating the answer key
when you posted. Anyway, go ahead, as long as you don't take credit for it.
Haha! Thanks man! And of course not! Why would I take credit on someting I didnt
create or help create? Dont worry, I'm not one of those people who call things
they find thier own. Trust me when I say this.

sorry dude it's a couple o years since I last played this and I don't have my gc anymore
I have never played this game alone... but it's nice to play with others... even if I usually choose Pikachu.
Thanks for sharing/creating this quiz. I'll show it to my brother who is the family Smash Bro pro, so I will know if he's that good. ^_^
