This blog is the Pits'.

In 1986, Kid Icarus was released in Japan.  Pit was the star of that game, and through Super Smash Bros. Brawl, the old character was revived, and given a new updated title, Kid Icarus: Uprising,  which introduced the character Dark Pit.  in Smash Bros. for WiiU/3DS, these two fight almost identically, Dark Pit is a bit more powerful than pit, his arrows don't curve as much, and his electroshock arm launches opponents at a lower angle than pit's upperdash arm.


Both of them fight pretty much the same, with their standard attack creating a nearly unstoppable whirlwind with their blades that dish out rapid hits if you press it fast enough.  if you want to be really annoying, you can stay back and fire arrows from your bow.  The side-special upperdash/electroshock arm deals a lot of damage and knockback, and can reflect projectiles, but it stops if you hit something and leaves you wide open after you use it.  The attacks in the air aren't too bad either, with most of them dealing multiple hits with the spinning blades.  if you fight against someone who seems to spam a ranged attack over and over, the guardian orbitars will send it right back at them and when you get launched, your multiple jumps and incredible recovery move will get you back with no problem.
when fighting against these two, your best bet is to get them completely off screen as they can recover from nearly anything.  that or meteor smash them into a pit, no pun intended this time.  be careful of the guardian orbitars, and when they use their dash arms, roll dodge out of the way, then hit them with a powerful attack.

What smash needs is some sonic speed!

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, a character no one expected made their Smash debut.  Sonic the Hedgehog.  After the console wars between Sega and Nintendo, no one expected Sonic to appear in a Nintendo game, and now he's in one of nintendo's most popular franchises and has several nintendo-exclusive games.

Sonic's power left something to be desired in Brawl.  his lightning-fast attacks hit quick but not hard, and he could get your damage up quickly. In the fourth smash game, his power was increased, making him even more of a threat.  His smash attacks had extra launching power, his aerials could hit you farther, and his speed remained unmatched ... well, except for the train in the spirit tracks stage, but they couldn't make him too fast, otherwise he would be overpowered or uncontrollable.  A good strategy when playing as sonic is to use all his attacks to your advantage,  use the dash attack to  deal multiple hits, or his spin dash to do a little bowling and get out of there fast.  his up smash and side smash attacks are best for finishing them off.  the up smash deals multiple hits and does more damage, while the side smash has a smaller range of attack, but launches them really far.  if you get knocked into the air, don't panic.  Sonic's got amazing air attacks.  his forward aerial is a drill that does a lot of damage, while his down aerial sends you hurtling toward the ground to kick your opponents in the head.
While an amazing character, sonic does have his weaknesses.  mainly, projectiles.  he doesn't have any projectiles himself, and his spin attacks are stopped cold by them, which makes Mega Man the perfect Sonic counter.

The Blue Bomber Enters

 

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, several people were hoping for Mega Man to be released.  Although the dreams were crushed when Mega Man was denied, director Masahiro Sakurai heard their cries and allowed the Blue Bomber a spot in Smash Bros. for Wii U and 3DS

Mega Man has many strategies to him.  you throw a metal blade at your opponent, use the dash attack, top spin to deal a lot of damage, then use the leaf shield and grab them, letting the leaves hit them, then throw them into the air and use the tornado blow up air to deal even more damage.  use an up smash to get them in the damage range for launching.  you don't have to do it in this order. then you have two options to finish them off.  The flame burst down smash launches the farthest, but you need precise timing to do it.  The side smash gets the job done with both range and power, great for catching opponents off guard.
If there's an anti-Mega Man character, it's Villager. there are few moves Mega Man has that Villager can't steal.  Even Mega Man's fully charged side smash is able to be grabbed.  Reflector's like Pit's guardian orbitars or Mario's cape can cause trouble as well.

Mewtwo Strikes Back!

Recently, Super Smash bros. for 3DS came out, and it's only gotten more exciting.  recently, downloadable content was released.  The first fighter to be released was Mewtwo, an old favorite from Super Smash Bros. Melee.

He's pretty much the same as he was back in Melee, with the same move set, power, and light weight.
Mewtwo is one of the more powerful characters in the game, but that also has some drawbacks.  His psychic powers make him incredibly easy to launch off-screen, so it's a trade-off, you send your opponents soaring but you get launched easily yourself. 
Those who bought and registered Smash bros. for 3DS and Wii U got a free download code, but it's okay if you didn't, you can still buy him from the DLC shop.  If you happen to be online battling and run into mewtwo, be cautious, his attacks don't have a very wide range, except for shadow ball, but they all do a lot of damage.  your best bet is to get in quick and do some damage, then get away before he can hit you.  or keep him in the air and don't let him attack you.
if you're playing as mewtwo, hit them with shadow ball, get in close and use your dash attack, then use your standard attack and up smash to really rack up the damage.  if they try to use a projectile, the side special, confusion will send it right back at them.  When they start smoking, use the down special, disable to stun them long enough for you to charge up.  the more damage they've taken, the longer they'll be stunned.  While they're standing there, a down smash, side smash or fully charged shadow ball will take them out with no problem.
Now you know about Mewtwo, and hopefully you're prepared for battling with your friends with the DLC on their system.  Now go forth  and show them how you Smash!
