• Walking and running
• Jumping
• Performing standard attacks (neutral attacks), strong attacks (tilts), and smash attacks with the Attack button
• Recovery
• Using special moves with the "Special" button
• Edge guarding (though not mentioned by name)
• Shielding
• Rolling and dodging
• Grabbing
• Activating a Final Smash with the "Special" button

Trivia

• Like in Smash 4, this video uses the music in the "How to Play" video in Super Smash Bros. Melee.
• Similar to the How to Play videos in Brawl and Smash 4, specific buttons are not mentioned, with the video naming buttons as "attack", "special", "shield", etc., due to the ability to customize controls. Like in Brawl, the button colors match the default configuration of the GameCube Controller.
• This is the third How to Play video that shows the offscreen areas where fighters can be launched towards any blast line.
• This is the only How to Play video that runs at the game's native frame rate and resolution (excluding Smash 64's How to Play video, which is rendered in real time).
