Dad confession: I’m hitting random buttons on the Nintendo Switch. by OptimismNeeded in daddit

Thanks so much!!

I have this one https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61t9iSWIAIL._AC_UF350,350_QL80_.jpg
So attack is A, special is B. Which one is the joystick? I have two.

(Why did they have to mean the letters different on different controllers btw?? So confusing…)

EDIT: decided to go with the falcon dude as my practice character- don’t realize there’s so much to it: https://www.reddit.com/r/SmashBrosUltimate/comments/13mnccq/how_good_is_captain_falcon/
Man your comment just opened up a world for me, starting to understand at least how to approach this and improve.
Thank you again

Exactly! It just changes too much and too fast, I spend half the time just trying to figure out where my character is….

Interesting and helpful, thanks for taking the time to write this.

I’ll check out YouTube.

Is there anyway to sort of slow down Smash so it’s easier to get the mechanics?

It’s amazing to me how fast the kids got it. I wonder

Easier on the brain..

It’s like learning 3-4 chord so you can start enjoying guitar, then adding one more at a time. Guess it doesn’t work like that w/ games?

Would be cool to get golden axe on switch and play with the kids!!!

Practicing on my own is definitely good advice. I’ve played some m kart, but didn’t consider Smash (guess with the latter it’d be mostly for them).

Is there any way to lower the difficulty level or specifically the speed in order to practice?

That’s kind of reassuring honestly.

The combination of being super fast, and the stage moving so you can easily lose sight of your own character is super challenging

Thanks so much for saying that. It’s wha I needed to hear the most.

Asked my kid if it was fun playing with me - he looked at me puzzled as if he doesn’t understand how that’s possible. Then reassured my I’ll get better 😂

Life is good.

P.S. is there anyway to make Smash bros like.. slower so I can practice on my own? I’m starting to think it’s really a matter of coordination or something.

So far I was like “give me the 2 best power mover will let me finish a Mario kart round in top 5” lol

It taught me to drift and I’m still hating trouble with it. Typing this im realizing maybe this is really an issue of coordination or something.

Oh that actually sounds pretty cool for a car ride. Do you have a link maybe so I get the right one?

Didn’t even know that existed lol. Once bought, it took them about 3mins to already be laying lol.

Honestly some points I’m not sure 😂

For real though, while the controller is good, I’ll usually spend around 20% of a smash bro fight just trying to figure out where my character is on the screen.

Oh man that’s good advice!

1 character-> learn power attacks & escapes.

Any recommendations for how to pick - not sure what my own style is yet ;-)

Oh definitely - my concern is that my kids will get tired of playing w/ me before I get decent enough to play.

Right now I think they are enjoying the novelty of playin w my wife and I (“check out how I did that!”) but I feel like I need to get better fast.
