Yes I'm new.
Yes I've never played a smash game before.
Yes I use a keyboard.
I can't do ♥♥♥♥ in this game, especially online.
Can someone help me, please?

Don't play Zetterburn, he teaches bad habits. Learn how to manage your movement well, a good quote from somewhere is that "you should never stop moving"; also learn some advanced movement options, like wavedashing, dash dancing, etc. Now all that you have to do is learn the character(s) you want to play, like comboes, setups, and the like.

Also learn some useful info across all characters, like DI.

Practise those, and voila, u gited gud.

I think I know how to wavedash. In keyboard controls, isn't it when you use jump and dash wile moving and crouching? I don't know how any character's abilities work so I'm stuck button mashing and trying to replicate what I did before.

Wavedashing is basically jump, and immediately after jumping do a dodge either down, down and to the left, or down and to the right. You can also do this just as you go above on a platform for super swaggy acceleration.

For learning characters, your best bet would be to either watch someone play, or look at all the moves and experiment trying to combo.

Well, where do I find character's full movesets and how to pull each move off?

There are many guides on this community page. Just scroll to the top and click on guides. It would take way too long to type out a meesage of how to play.

Besides watching the guides I have one thing for you. This game is really based around unconvential combos and there isn't block option like in most fighting games. If you don't want to take damage you have to dodge out of the way most of the time.

But in all honesty, like the others have said, watch videos. If you ever want to play, feel free to friend me. Good luck.

Is a keyboard not as good as a controller? I have a ps3 controller I could use but it's dead.

I looked at the guides. The ones that I saw were for specific characters and mechanics that require some knowledge of the game to understand. Any videos you could link me to?

I suggest using Kragg, i think he is the most beginner friendly

Play whatever character you like. Just be aware of some of the bad habits that can form.

I'm not positive. You'll have to ask or Google it.

He's generally spammy, and is relatively two-dimensional when it comes to a lot of aspects. He only becomes interesting when you learn some cool techniques, like burst cancelling and are able to apply it to a match.
