Percentage

Percentage is the basic part of Super Smash Bros Brawl,Melee, and the orginal SSB (other than fighting). It is shown by your character's icon at the bottom of the screen as a percent number (such as 65%, for example). You get this percentage up on your enemy by hitting him with your bunches of attacks or certain items, and, not to mention, your foe can hit you and make your percent go higher. The basics to it are that the higher the number in percent by your character's icon, the further you fly of the screen... which is what you don't want. So, you simply want to keep your percentage low, while increasing your foe's percentage value so you can realease a powerful smash attack to knock them flying of the stage. Cool, huh? This goal can be is achieved many, many ways.

Percentage Facts
First of all, your (and your opponents) percent will slowly turn more red to indicate that your percent is getting dangerously high. If your percent gets around a hundred or over, try to play more cautiously, or you will probably go flying off the stage if you go too crazy. To solve this problem, attempt to get the recovery items that fall from the top of the screen sometimes, as this will get your percent lower. Another thing is that, obviously, stronger attacks will cause more damage and have a larger knockback. So, start out with smaller attacks to biuld up their percent, then use stronger strikes that have more knockback to sucsessfully hit your foe off the screen.
