Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is a fighting game aimed at players who don’t normally play fighting games. Although the controls are much easier to understand — so much so that you can get by with button mashing — you won’t get the most out of it Super Smash Bros. Ultimate unless you know what you’re doing. From choosing a character to learning how to fight, here’s our beginner’s guide Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.

Super Smash Bros. UltimateThe control scheme is essentially identical to that used in every game since Crowd, and the game even supports GameCube controllers for those used to that setup. Most of the actions in the game are performed by pressing a single button, as well as an optional stick movement to access special moves.
The goal of the basic Super Smash Bros. the match is to score more eliminations than your opponents. As you deal damage, the percentage above that character’s icon will increase. The higher it is, the more likely it is to send them flying after the next big attack. Matches can be determined by “stock”, where everyone has a limited number of lives, or they can be timed. In the latter option, the winner is determined by subtracting your deaths from your kills.
Basic attacks
Press the “A” button on your controller without moving the left stick to perform a neutral attack. Moving the stick left, right, up or down while down will give your character a different standard attack.
Standard attacks are fast and good for dealing damage to your opponent if they are a slower character who can’t keep up with your movement speed.
Certain characters will perform longer attacks if you repeatedly press the “A” button. Fox, for example, will throw a flurry of punches, quickly racking up damage from the ground.
Special attacks
Button “B” inside Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is dedicated to special attacks. These are moves tailored to each character’s unique abilities and often deal radically higher damage at the cost of speed. Mario, for example, can spin a cloaked target and deflect projectiles, as well as launch targets into the air while collecting coins.
As with basic attacks, moving the left stick while pressing “B” will change attacks. All characters have neutral specials, up-specials, side-specials, and down-specials, although not all of them are attacks. The Pokémon Trainer’s down-special, for example, switches three available monsters instead of dealing damage.
Special attacks are great options for keeping your opponent on their heels, and for characters with projectile weapons, you can use them to deal damage from afar. Just don’t rely solely on them as many of them have long cooldowns and are easy to avoid.
Smashing attacks
Perhaps the most important move you’ll use in the game, smash attacks are moves you’ll often use to knock an enemy off the stage. They take longer to use than standard attacks, but can be faster than special attacks, making them a great option later in fights.
There are several ways to perform a breakout attack. The first is to use the right analog stick (C-stick on the GameCube) and simply move it in the direction of the attack you want. This will deliver a fast version of the attack, though not at maximum power.
To take even more pain, you can perform a smash attack by pounding the left analog stick in one direction while holding down the “A” button. Your character will start with a more powerful smash attack and will perform it after you release the button. This is a riskier move, but it has a big payoff.
Movement and other actions
You can move left and right, duck and travel between thin platforms using the left analog stick. Flicking the stick left or right will cause you to dash, which can come in handy when you’re closing in on a stunned enemy to perform a smash attack.
Jumping can be done by either pressing the stick up or using the “X” or “Y” buttons. If you are under a thin platform, you can jump onto it without having to go around the edge.
To use your shield, press the ZL or ZR buttons on the Switch controller or the left or right trigger on the GameCube controller. This will protect you from damage caused by attacks, but the shield takes damage over time. If you let it drain completely, you will be stunned and left open to enemy attack.
You can also counter another player’s shield by performing a grapple — use the L or R trigger buttons on the Switch controller and the “Z” button on the GameCube controller. This will ignore the shield and allow you to throw your enemy, but performing a grapple while the enemy is attacking will result in damage to your character.
You also have access to several dodge and recovery moves that can help you stay in the fight. Press the shield button and left or right on the left stick to dodge. You can do this both on the ground and in the air, and it’s crucial for avoiding big attacks.
The up special attack can also be used as a recovery move to reach ledges after you’ve been knocked out. Typically, your character will move upwards for this move, but a few characters require more work. Ness, for example, shoots lightning from his body which you then have to manually aim at him to knock him back onto the ledge.
Character selection

The most important thing you can do in the beginning Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is to choose a character that is balanced and easy to use. Certain fighters like Incineroar and Ness are a lot of fun once you get used to the game’s pacing and mechanics, but you’ll have trouble performing recovery moves or reliably dealing damage if you play these characters right out of the gate. Here are some great signs to try when you’re just starting out:
- Mario
- Pikachu
- Kirby
- Donkey Kong
- Connection
- Fox
- March
Experiment with a few of the characters in the list above and determine which one best suits your preferred playstyle. Link and Fox rely heavily on projectiles, for example, while Donkey Kong is a slow and heavy character. If you like Donkey Kong, consider trying Charizard or Bowser, which have similar attributes but very different attacks.
You should have multiple characters that you feel comfortable with, and you should have characters that work well in one-on-one fights and larger battles. Fast characters perform especially well in single combat. At the same time, the chaos of multiplayer free-for-alls gives characters like Ganondorf and Ike the chance to unleash massive attacks.
Make sure you use it all the fighter’s moves before judging their effectiveness. Simon, for example, has several different projectile attacks, none of which will win a battle if used alone. However, when used together and in addition to his standard whip attack, they are absolutely vicious.
Other moves should be used in conjunction with attacks, and there’s no better time to learn this than when choosing a character. Mario’s FLUDD blaster does no damage on its own, but it can send an opponent flying far away from the stage if you use it to follow up with a smashing attack!
Modes of work

There are several different menu options that will greet you when you start up Super Smash Bros. Ultimate first time. Below are the main ones you’ll want to try right away.
Break
In Smash mode, you can play traditional battles against the computer or another local player. Click the Smash icon and on the next page you’ll see options for traditional Smash at the top.
Also in this mode is the special Squad Strike, which pits three or five characters against each other in an elimination-style battle. You can also start a tournament here.
The last one is Special Smash. In this option, you can play a custom match with your own rules, a sudden death match where each character starts with 300% damage, and a new Smashdown mode. This mode forces you and your opponent to use a new character in each match until all available fighters have been played.
Games and more
The Games & More section includes several of the series’ longest-running mods. It’s also where you can go to connect Amiibo figures or design your own Mii fighters.
At the top is Classic, which tasks you with using one character in several different battles and challenges, culminating in a boss fight.
Training gives you the opportunity to test your fighter of choice against an opponent using a custom set of rules. If you want to try a certain attack, you can make your enemy non-enemy.
Mob Smash is where you can try different challenges against a group of fighters. Century Smash pits you against 100 enemies, All-Star Smash features a bunch of different fighters, and Cruel Smash is a tougher option for veterans.
On the line
In the lower right corner is Online. This is where you go to play online multiplayer. The Smash option will give you a choice between Quick Play, where you just pick a character and get thrown into a match, and Battle Arena. In the Battle Arena, you join a group of players who take turns fighting each other. You also have the option to watch the action. For more on how this mode works, you can read our guide on how to play online with friends.
Ghosts
In the lower left corner of the menu is Spirits. This option contains your ghost board, which features special support characters that you can equip to give yourself extra power-ups or items. Ghosts are primarily used in the campaign mode, which is also on this page.
Select Adventure to begin the World of Light campaign. This is a long mode that gives you the chance to fight many possessed versions of fighters, and unlocking them in the mode will also give you access to characters for the rest of the game. It’s not the best way to unlock them, but we have a separate guide detailing how you can quickly build your entire roster.
As you advance in the World of Light, the most important thing to do is to continue to improve your primary spirits. You will receive special “bites” that can quickly raise them to their maximum level. Snacks help increase your fighter’s strength in matches. A kind of rock-paper-scissors system also helps determine the advantage against opponents. It involves luck more than anything else. But grapple type characters are good against shield types but weak against sword types. For best results, you should make sure you have one of each by the end.
Based on your preference, you can choose whether to use support spirits to fill the slots assigned to your primary spirit. Support Spirits give your fighter a specific and useful characteristic, such as resistance to poisons. Others may allow your character access to a new item before starting a battle. If there is enough room for your primary spirit, you can start collecting various bonuses and use them to complement each other.
Find a skill tree and you’ll be on your way to success as this tree offers your character a variety of exceptional combat skills to use during combat. You get skill points after you finish battles, and when you visit the skill tree, you can restore any damage, increase your running ability, shield strength, and more. It is possible to play the entire game without acquiring additional skills, but it is unwise to ignore these advantages. This can seriously damage your playability and experience, and you will be at a disadvantage compared to other players.
We advise you not to immediately jump into a new game and try all possible button combinations. These tips should help you, so use them. This will give you a solid foundation before you start playing games like Super Smash Bros. It will probably take you some time to get used to the game (there is always a learning curve). But that is completely normal and expected. You can still use powerful moves and have fun in the game without getting irritated, even if you haven’t learned everything yet. Once you determine your character’s strengths and weaknesses, you can figure out which fighting style will suit him best.
