As with any fighter, knowing how to approach the neutral game is of utmost importance when it comes to taking home a victory in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and 3DS. Understanding when to go for offensive options, when to play it a little more defensive, and how to go about baiting and punishing whiffs all add up to make this beautifully complex concept that we call the neutral game.

Since the Super Smash Bros. series also adds in the need to maintain stage dominance and control areas that are often well off the stage itself, knowing how to approach the neutral game can prove even more daunting than in some titles; this, of course, depends largely on any given player’s background.

In order to help new players understand how this key aspect of the genre unfolds in the Smash series, Rush Hour Smash has put together a quick guide including some high-level examples of helpful concepts in action.
