Super Smash Bros Algorithm

Super Smash Bros Algorithm

1. Chosen Character Moves

   • Hammer Hit: Horizontal hammer attack
   • Hammer Spin: Spin attack, covers all directions
   • Stone: Smash down on opponents or use as block
   • Final Cutter: Upwards attack with ground projectile

2. Character Choices

   • Yoshi
     • Positives
       • Lot of air recovery
       • Can chew up and spit out enemies
     • Negatives
       • Head is vulnerable
       • Moves other than tilts are slower
   • Kirby
     • Positive
       • relatively small size and low crouch makes him hard to hit
       • fast tilts and low ending lag on his aerials, granting him access to quick and powerful combos
     • Negative
       • light weight and floatiness
       • lack of reliable combo options outside the basic up tilt and forward aerial

3. Algorithm Construct

   • Assignment
     • Pseudocode Example: DECLARE distance
   • Sequence
     • Pseudocode Example: order of which steps are carried out
   • Selection and Condition
     • Pseudocode Example: IF, THEN, ELSE
   • Iteration
     • Pseudocode Example: FOR LOOP, WHILE LOOP
   • Modularisation
     • Pseudocode Example: FUNCTION delivery_charge

4. Prescribed Criteria

   • 2. Develop an ultimate high damage finishing offensive strategy to eliminate the opponent
   • 3. Use at least five different attack moves (Side Special Move, Final Smash, Down Special Move, etc)
   • 1. Develop an Algorithm using Pseudocode conventions
