Items:I typically play with all Items save for the Bob-omb,Dragoon and Blast box.Anywhere from none to many.
Characters:All of them save for Toon Link,Though I typically use the common choices less.(I.E.Pit,Wolf,Ike,Sonic,Pokemon Trainer.)
Stages:Anything that isn't flat zone 2,hanenbow or Mario Bros.
Custom stage building style:I typically either make very open Arenas or cramped death traps,I like shootout type arenas too.
Favorite character colors:Purple Luigi,Old manondorf (Black and white haired ganondorf),Blue and Pink Wario,Blue Yoshi,Green Metaknight,Pink Metaknight,Gravity Suit Samus (Blue-Purple),Lava Snake,Claus Lucas,Blue Robot,Blue Diddy,Blue Ice Climbers,Blue Kirby,Purple Dedede.
Offwaves:Use a rolling dodge!
Capturing Meta Ridley:Wait until He's Salivating Plasma,Head to the center of the stage and Toss the stand up either while he's approaching the center or when he's about to fire.
Vs. Pit spammers:Any character with a counter move can tear through angel Ring,Pit is also dead meat when using Wings of Icarus (He can't attack) and Any character with a low crawl can dodge the arrows.(Or,I dunno,use some sort of shield.:roll: )
That's it.
