Greetings from CaptButlerBox! This name is in no way affiliated with any players, and I got my good friend Butler to write this post for me. I recently started the game and decided that I would help out my two good friends (I feel like I know them as I know myself) by writing a guide on what to do when you are a new player.

Narrative:

When you load the game for the first time, you get a really awesome cinematic intro to what Smash Supreme is all about: smashing people’s faces in. It is glorious, and stands for everything that Gumbug has become. Immediately after this intro movie, you get thrown into your very first fight, where you randomly mash buttons and hit a robot that is made of metal with your bare fists, somehow winning the fight. Maybe he is made of gold or something because he gives you 20 gold pieces after you beat him up. Isn’t that bullying? I feel bad already.

You move on from your own Humble Beginnings into fighting the thief with honor, Mia. After learning how to block and defeating her, you receive special training and become able to use stomp, dart, and scorpion kick. Then, you play as Mia against Finn, and after defeating him, he decides to increase your knowledge by giving you 2 fireball shards, so that you too can create your own forest fires (Secret boss Smokey the Bear when?). You also get 11 gold because you are a bully. Next, your Sensei tells you the thing you should pay the most attention to: “Let’s replace Scorpion Kick”. You should definitely listen to him.

In your final fight, you fight against the Crimson Werbo, beginning your journey. After pummeling him, you receive some more lunch money, and also 2 knockbacks, because apparently your punches weren’t strong enough already. You also unlock multiplayer so that you can get creamed online by real players and not just the tutorial bots.

So, as it stands, after the tutorial, you should have around 160 gold, 50 gems, 2 card upgrades waiting, and no clue of just how good people have gotten in online matches. Immediately, you are sent into a multiplayer battle so you can find out the last item above.

Once you get demolished by one of the bots in matchmaking, you get to upgrade your moves to make them even more powerful, but more on that later. Once you fight and win several times, you win some crates and get your daily crate, in which you can get some awesome gear! But, unfortunately, it seems that they were all out of awesome when you opened it, and you got an anchor instead.

However, my good friend Captain Falcon took over, and decided to win some matches for me. He realized that he may be stealing people’s stars like JuiceBox steals his own ELO, and decided that he loved that feeling, and blazed a path of destruction through the lower ranks, in particular, rank 11.

Unfortunately, you may not be seeing more of me, CaptButlerBox, but you can be assured that if something changes in the lower ranks, I may be back.

Guide:

Butler here. So, I was watching CaptButlerBox play, and I noticed several points of interest to the new player. This list below is to help new players jump into the game as efficiently as possible.

Gold is your friend – get gold as much as you can. While tough to obtain large quantities in the lower ranks, gold is what allows move level-ups. Anytime that you can level up a move, no matter how good it is, do it. Player levels are easy to get, and you can hit level 3 within 10 minutes of starting the tutorial. To get to level 3, buy 2 levels of whatever common move is available in the shop, and level it up twice. Level up your fireball and knockback as well. Next, buy 2 rares in the shop, and level that rare up. Start unlocking the first loot crate you get for extra move xp and gold. Get your first daily, and you should have enough gold and move xp to get to level 3. Gems are not your friend – don’t spend gems until you know what you need. Do not unlock crates with gems at lower ranks because they give you very few cards. Just wait on the timer to unlock it for you. Save your gems for something good, such as a jumbo crate in the shop. Guilds are your friend – requesting cards is huge. You can get 2 card levels on 1 card request alone. This is huge in terms of your player xp. A Basic deck – based on the cards you have after the tutorial, a quick, very powerful deck can be created. Stomp/Knockback/Slide Kick/Throw/Fireball/Cyclone/Mega Fireball is a very solid deck. It deals consistent damage and has an answer to almost every situation. Equipment is your friend – get your equipment from the daily crate, and equip it. It provides a useful stat boost. However, do not spend gold to level it up. It gives very little xp and is a large gold drain. Save your gold for move upgrades, which have a larger effect on the battle. Equip Good Game as an emote – no one likes a sore loser. Don’t be “that guy”. Also, you have all the text emotes, and 4 basic emotes at the start, along with 8 dyes. Customize your fighter and make him your own. Practice the game mechanics – don’t just go in a match and expect to win. Training is there for a reason. Discover how to parry (perfect timing on block), and how to effectively move, along with what moves work well together (for example, Throw and Stomp). Knowledge is power!

That’s all from me! Get those move levels and player levels, and hopefully sometime soon, I will see you in diamond!
