How do you to beat tabuu on ssbb

It depends on the difficulty level you are playing at. On easy, he is not that tough, you just need to hang around long enough and land some attacks to take him down.

On Normal, which I played my first time through on, he was a pain. All of this attacks are powerful, but the good news is that most of them can be dodged and he gives various warning signs of when he is going to attack. The one that cannot be dodged at all, is when he releases red shock-waves across the stages; on Normal this results in a instant KO no matter who you are using.

I cant say anything for Hard, Difficult or Intense mode.
The red waves are called Off Waves, and may kill you instantly, but ways to avoid them are to put your shield up and hit down on the control pad or D-Pad, also known as dodging. I am a pro at it on lower difficulties, although I have not tried it anywere above Normal

Simply put, you can dodge the "Off Waves" by Z(shield) and down, left, or right.
Here is a list of his moves and how to avoid. these are the names i give some of them.

Shark blade: Duck or jump.
Pinpoint blast: you see the 4 pointed stars appear and dissapear? stay out of the way.
Grapple Smash: stay on the other side of the screen, or get close to him then jump out of the way.
Off waves: Hold shield then down 3 times but you need to do it on good timing.
Sword Slash:stay on the sides of the screen. or jump in the air if your in the middle.
Ninja Star:Same with sword slash except twice.
Bracket hook:Stay above it, dont get under it if you have partner who got caught.


How to capture(trophy): HE must have low HP, it must kill him, and he must be ABOVE the platform.
