Master the challenging boss battles against Rayquaza and Tabuu in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Learn their attack patterns and effective strategies to overcome these formidable foes.
Boss Fights:
- Rayquaza
- Attacks: Tail spin (wide radius, unpredictable), quick darts across the screen, emerging from ground after diving, charging and shooting an electric ball, creating an explosion, summoning lightning strikes.
- Durability: Takes a lot of damage, making him hard to defeat.
- Strategy: Use constant attacks. Jigglypuff can stay airborne. Characters like Fox can reflect his electric ball. Avoid his tail spin by staying airborne if possible, or by precise dodging/rolling. Jump over or roll away from darts. Avoid explosions by moving quickly. Run or roll to avoid lightning.
- Intense Difficulty: His screen-crossing darts are repeated three times at low health, making them very difficult to avoid.
- Tabuu
- Attacks: Teleports randomly, red explosion after teleport, quick blade sweep, throwing a blade attached to a chain to ensnare, "red ring of death" attack, "golden cage" move (golden box that grabs and slams), trapping hands attack.
- Strategy: Jump over the blade sweep. Air dodge and change vertical position to avoid the ensnaring blade. Spot dodge the "red ring of death" (three quick spot dodges, timing is crucial). Jump over or fast fall to avoid the "golden cage." Quickly move away from his trapping hands attack.
- Key to Victory: Reliably avoiding the "red ring of death" is essential for winning, especially on higher difficulties.
Tips
- Rayquaza's tail spin is difficult to spot dodge reliably due to its duration.
- Rayquaza's screen-crossing darts are only dangerous at the head; spot dodge or roll.
- Reflecting Rayquaza's electric ball with characters like Fox can deal good damage.
- Tabuu's "red ring of death" requires precise and consistent spot dodges. Practice this move if necessary.
- Tabuu's "golden cage" is fatal at most percentages; jumping over it is the best defense.
