Here we are again with another edition and this time general silliness is the theme! In the last
edition we talked about CPU intelligence, so now it makes sense to show just how dumb they can be! We also have some glitches and combos of course, so hold onto your butts as we dive into the world of Super Smash Brothers!
Every game has its Tricks, Glitches and Combos and Brawl is full of the shtuff! Upon its release nothing was known about the game and the secrets it held, but now they’re used by the bundle in every match and every set played! Some are used very seriously and some are used merely for fun. That’s why we’re here to show you what’s up even if it’s just for laughs! Let’s spice up your day with some SMASH! =D
Ledge Running!!!! Have you ever worried about just falling off a ledge or plummeting to your immediate death? Well with this nifty glitch you will never have such suicidal or troubled thoughts again! This glitch has you running straight to the ledge with no end in sight! Instead of falling off, the character will just run in place on the ledge at half speed. I love glitches that can be used in competitive play and this one seems good for a mind game here and there depending on the character. How can one do this glitch? Simply tilt the control stick down slightly, but not far enough to crouch and your character should run a little slower than normal. Once you reach the ledge you will notice that they just keep on running until the movement is altered. Simple and fun, yes?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gQ7KxjfbiUE Great moments In Dumb CPU History!!! We all know that in Brawl the CPU is on another level from past games. They can really give a noob a run for there money, but no matter what a CPU does it is still just a CPU and therefore has its fair share of stupidity. I'm actually thinking of making this a regular edition to Tricks, Glitches and Combos because the CPU can just be so darn funny! Kinda like America's funniest home videos.
If you have one in mind, post it in the comments section and it may be featured! Show Me Your Moves!
This CPU clearly has none as it cowers in fear of Captain Falcons might. This is a level 9 CPU Snake and it is indeed dumb.

Target Missed... by A LOT!!! Wolf needs serious help when it comes to aiming his tank. Maybe he should stick to using just his little dagger gun, lol. This CPU is also level 9 and is even dumber than the last one. Is there any hope for this CPU? NOPE!

Pit-Arrow Looping
Arrow looping is simple, but in order to be used effectively requires a great amount of focus and timing. An arrow can be looped by rotating the joystick at an even pace. Sounds easy, but keep in mind that too fast or slow will result in losing control of the arrow. It's important to have this technique mastered before using it competitively because screwing it up will leave you open to attack, but when it is used effectively your opponent will have two options.
1. Get hit by an arrow
2. Get after the initial dodge finishes
There literally is no down side and arrow looping has many different styles too! You can loop an arrow into a circle, horse shoe, knot and more! Check out this video of effective arrow looping! Half way through the video there is real competitive examples too.

That's all for now, but stay tune for more tricks with the arrows and dumb CPU moments!
Keep smashing AllisBrawl and look forward to the next exciting episode of Tricks, Glitches and Combos!
