1. U DO NOT NEED RANGE! i ply as peach all the time.. i NEVER sue her radishes... and i can easily win most 1v1... Brawl is not a game of brute force ( in 1v1 matches

) its a game of strategy. think f it as rock paper scisors...
defend/dodge>attack>grab>defend/dodge
basic>smash>special>basic.
u ahve to counter your opponents moves and be able to move yourself into possition to get the best opppurunities, a tru master of this game would not use a range attack, they would stay in close to stop there opponents from using range.
of course my wisdom only works on 1v1 matchers anything else range is probaly a good thing.
