The History of the Smash Bro's Characters
Welcome! I was never really a fan of the Smash Bro's games, or even fighting games in general for that matter, but since I've been playing a lot of the latest version in the series, I thought I'd take a look back at the games that all the characters have starred in over the years. I'll also give you my playing recommendations for each character.
So, lets get straight into it with the legend himself....
Mario
As in previous games, Mario is one of the most balanced fighters available and I would definitely recommend him to newcomers to the game. While he loses out on the strength found in characters like Bowser or Donkey Kong and the speed of characters like Sonic, he is well equipped to deal with any of the other characters. He has a good dash speed and aerial manouverability. For defence or distancing himself from opponents, he makes use of his fireball, cape and F.L.U.D.D. specials.
His fireball attacks have a decent distance and speed to them and are ideal for keeping enemies back or even stopping them getting back onto the stage. The cape attack spins foes around as well as reflecting projectiles. The F.L.U.D.D. special makes use of the back mounted water cannon he gained in Super Mario Sunshine, it can push opponents back and cut through projectiles.
Mario can be played in a variety of ways, if you want to just go all out attack, he has one of the best combo and juggling ability in the game, although some players may find they need to pummel their opponents a fair bit before being able to get any kills.
Despite being a general all rounder, he does have his downsides, he is at a disadvantage to any player with higher speed(Sonic), better combos(Luigi) and stronger knockbacks(Bowser).
History
Mario is one of the most well known video game characters of all time and has been the star of too many games to count. He began his journey in 1981 as Jumpman in Donkey Kong. He had to save his girlfriend, Lady/Pauline from Donkey Kong. In Donkey Kong Junior he was renamed and became Mario. Since then he has gone from strength to strength, changing his career multiple times as well as saving different worlds from evil.
Luigi
Luigi only became a starting character in Super Smash Bros Wii U. He has starred in previous games, but he was an unlockable character.
Luigi has very strong smashes that can be used to good effect to pummel your enemies.
History
Luigi first appeared alongside his brother in
Peach
Princess Peach is the ruler of the Mushroom Kingdom.
