Gameplay[]

Super_Smash_Bros_Melee_Orchestra_-_Opening

Super Smash Bros Melee Orchestra - Opening

Opening Theme for Super Smash Bros. Global Apocalypse.

Following its predecessors, SSBGA uses a battle system unlike that of typical fighting games. Players can choose from a large selection of characters, each attempting to knock their opponents off the screen as they fight on various stages. The characters in Brawl include most of the same ones as the predecessors, such as the well-known Mario, Professor Layton and Pikachu. Instead of using traditional health bars that start at a maximum value and lose value, Brawl characters start the game with 0%; the value rises as they take damage and may rise over 100% to a maximum of 999%. As a character's percentage increases, the character flies further back when hit. When a character is knocked beyond the boundaries of the stage and disappears from the screen, the character loses a life, a point or coins depending on the mode of play. The characters in SSBGA fight each other using a variety of attacks and methods. Players execute each move by pressing a button in conjunction with a tilt of the control stick.

Controls[]

General Actions[]

Xf95xf

Players move around the stages using the Analog Stick, and can jump by pressing it upwards. It is possible to jump again in the air a single time. Some characters also have the ability to multi-jump in the air. By pressing the Analog Stick downwards, the player can crouch or move a layer down on the stage. Gameplay is mainly on the above screen, wich is wider. However, players can alter that in Screen Adjuster.

Smash Attacks[]

Smash Attacks, which are the basic attacks for each character, are performed with the A Button or the X Button. When moving the Analog Stick to a direction, the player can attack upwards, downwards or to either sides. These attacks are usually weak and do not do very much damage. When the A or X Button is pressed repeatedly, the character performs a standard combo, a fast sequence of weak attacks. When the Analog Stick is tilted fast and the X or A Button is pressed in time, the player can perform a Smash Attack. These are very powerful which cause a lot of damage. Each character's Side, Up and Down Smash is different.

Special Moves[]

In addition to the Smash Attacks, each character has his/her own set of special moves, which are performed with the B Button or the Y Button. When pressing the Analog Stick at a certain direction, or not moving it at all, a different special move is performed. The Special Moves are influenced by the character's individual personality and have various effects rather than just damaging opponents such as sleeping, dizzying, reflecting, projectiles etc.

Item Use[]

Items appear on the stage at random and can be used by the players. Items have various effects and some trigger by themselves. They can also grant players with a special Effect like explode when hitting or used as a weapon. When the players are standing next to an item, they can press the A or X Button to pick the item up and press the R Button to throw it away.

Shielding[]

By pressing the L Button, the player can activate his/her shield. Shields can be used to prevent any kind of attack from a character or an item, only grabbing cannot be prevented. The shield's power decreases every time it is used, and when the shield breaks, the player will be unable to move for a short amount of time.

Other Actions[]

Each character has 3 Taunts which are unique to him/her and are inputed by pressing certain arrows in the D-Pad.

Playable Characters[]
