To execute a normal attack in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, simply push the standard attack button. If you're holding the joystick in a particular direction (up, right, left, or down), the player will perform a completely different attack, usually more potent than the standard one. The most powerful forms of standard attacks are smash attacks, which can only be performed by quickly tapping the joystick while pressing the attack button. These are chargeable attacks that are best used when the opposing character has been delivered a hefty amount of damage. Finally, special attacks can be performed with the special move button. These are usually more challenging than a standard attack, though include defensive, offensive, and even projectile based attacks as well.
Standard attacks
All characters have the same amount of standard attacks. They're fast and they deliver damage quickly, and usually in quick succession. Some characters, such as Kirby and Ness, can perform a successive attack that'll last as long as someone doesn't attack them back. These are the best ways to perform combos in the Training mode, and the only way to get a particular sticker. As aforementioned, the standard attack that is executed depends on the direction the control stick is in. If it's not in any direction, then the most basic, and usually weak, of attacks will result.
Smash attacks
Smash attacks are the advanced form of a standard attack. You must use the control stick to perform it, thus meaning you have to point it in a certain direction. To perform a smash attack, simply tap (quickly) on the control stick while pressing the attack button. If you have the chance, keep your thumb on it without releasing to deliver more damage to your opponent when the time comes. The easiest way to K.O. an adversary is to use a smash attack on him or her when their damage is high up. Basically any character can be knocked off at 120% with a well placed smash attack.
