The followings are the explanation of each category.
1. Predictability: No one likes being countered easily, that's why,
you must have a certain knowledge of being able to predict or being
predicted. If your opponent knows what you'll be doing up next, you'll
be having a hard time.
2. Combo: This pretty much explains itself, to be an effective player,
you must know how to chain your attacks.
3. Defense: While in Super Smash Bros. it's obvious that you need
to attack to defeat your opponents, there are times when you need
to know how to defend yourself, can you dodge or block your opponent's
attacks with ease?
4. Smash performance: One of the most important ones, can you
put up on a great show? Or will you be trashed around like there's
no tomorrow? Gather all of your knowledge and show us what you
can do .
5. Knowledge of Character: This also speaks for itself, hopefully
you know which character is your main and know how to properly
make use of him/her.
6. Spammage: In Brawl, spamming now penalizes your attacks, as
they get weaker, while I know some people win that way, we don't
consider that being skills.
7. Advance Tech: Not all advance techniques have been revealed
yet, but at least can you perform short hops, UpB and SmashUp out
of shields?
8. Recovery: Very important, while it is easy to come back
to the stage, can you avoid your opponents from edge guarding
you and make it back to the stage safely?
