So I go to this school that, to teh best of my knowledge, is only attended by n0bs. So here is my problem. There is this Smash Bros Brawl Tourny on Saturday and I have, I suppose, only Friday to train. All you Smash nerds out there, what should my training regiment be?

Wolf, he has a fast smash that is perfect for beginners. Learn to dodge and shield as these are huge. Just work on your timings and getting down each move.
Some advice:
when they are shielding a lot, use grab
depending on the map (ie, final destination doesn't count) try to stay below them and attack from below
if they are spamming moves find a sequence that can counter it, or use long range attacks

if you have never played before good luck, and if you are totally out of your league... mash and smash!

boo brawl

If you're fresh at the game immediately pick up Snake or Metaknight and learn how to space properly with them. It's not like in ssbm where you can have an absolutely flawless air game and get away with it, having a decent ground game will go a long way. Also, will this tourney have items? If it does, learn to camp the common item spawns (go read another forum for that). If you can play Metaknight or Snake well then you shouldn't really have any trouble rolling wannabe kens. Other then that, just grind out games against your friends, really the only way to get better other than watching match vids :3

id say play falco he is super ez to pick and play,he has a chaingrab that can do up to 60% ez, and can lazer camp forcing the opponent to approach.

and all u would have to practice is getting your shorthop double lazer down and as long as these kids are noobs u can win w/ just lazer spam and IAP(immediate aerial phantosm)

Edit: or just pick snake and nade camp and f-tilt when they approach and u-tilt to kill

Play with FOX on a stage where you can loop around in it and just hit and run with the laser.

Or just try out the characters and find which character fits you the best. Then find some friends or other Brawl players and play them a lot in these next two days. After that and during the tournament, pray.... a lot.

Practice the Metaknight matchup endlessly. If they are total noobs, then they may not play MK so much. If they somewhat noobs, MK is so imba they'll own you unless you understand that matchup in and out. If they aren't noobs, then good luck.
