Ever since Star Wars Epic Duels came out, my closest gaming friends and I were hooked. We quickly decided that 2v2 was the best way to play and we spent many evenings playing the original decks. Fast forward to Summer 2007 when a couple of my friends discovered the online community of custom Epic Duels deck. They brought over several custom decks. Some were great - others... were... not so great... The idea of custom decks, though, was magnificent. With renewed interest, we enjoyed trying all sorts of different decks. Then we were introduced to the awesome Deck Designer Program (developed by Corey Andalora); and that's when the creative gears began to turn. We came up with all sorts of different decks - from Marvel to video games to Wheel of Time to even decks of ourselves.
Finally, one friend brought over a deck for two of the most iconic characters I knew - Mario and Luigi. While that particular deck had it's issues, it did have some good ideas. With that deck, though, I realized that Epic Duels was the board game equivalent of one of my favorite video game series - Super Smash Bros. The chaotic multiplayer fun of Smash Bros. was a natural fit for Epic Duels. After that, I was inspired to make a set of 24 decks featuring Nintendo's greatest characters that really captured the feel of Super Smash Bros. Brawl. My goal with this project was to create a full set of unique characters that maintained their personalities and play styles while still being balanced enough to be played with the original Hasbro decks. After several years of creating, adjusting and playtesting, the set finally feels complete. So, now, it's time to give back to the online community that's continued to breathe new life into the awesome game of Epic Duels.
Special Thanks to Wolsel for contributing ideas to the Samus, Mario, Bowser, and Fox decks and Justin for contributing ideas to the Marth and Ness decks. Thanks also goes out to Jordan, Taco, Russs, Lucas, Pierce, Trisha, Jensen, Zach, Avery, Reuben, and all the other friends that helped me playtest these decks.
Please print and enjoy Super Smash Bros. Brawl Epic Duels!
NOTE: Pokemon Trainer and Captain Olimar use TWO character sheets. Page 1 of the second Pokemon Trainer and Captain Olimar Pdfs need to be printed up solely for the character sheets.
You can also print a copy of the basic Epic Duels rules, including house rules used for 2v2 matches and specific SSBB Epic Duels rules: SSBB Epic Duels Rules.pdf
Please leave feedback about any of the decks!
Below you will find any custom additions, modifications, and other such things I or anyone else might have cooked up for Super Smash Bros Brawl Epic Duels. As of this writing (5/31/16), there's only one item here, but feel free to make your own additions.

Custom Health Chart for Pokemon Trainer - Since there's no real need for the Pokemon Trainer himself to be on the chart, given that he is not an actual character, I whipped up this custom chart so you don't have to use the two provided in the PDFs. No idea how well it'll print, since I've only used it in Tabletop Simulator, but hopefully it'll work for your needs. By Freaky Mutant Man
Star Fox Zero Health Charts for Star Fox Characters - I've been working on a deck for Peppy & Slippy. While that deck isn't quite ready to be presented, I did end up making some new health charts for the Fox & Falco and Wolf & Leon decks to match the one I made for Peppy & Slippy. These use the Star Fox Zero character portraits, and are a bit more colorful than the originals. The health charts themselves are your standard Deck Designer stuff, just cleaned up a bit.
