I started playing Smash today. I had played it here and there at a friend’s house, but he became so cocky that he made me buy a Switch today with Smash Ultimate. I need tips to get better fast so I can beat him. He’s a little bit better than average. Can someone help me out with tips and tricks, and which characters are best to use? I like Ridley or Mr. Game & Watch.
