Turn a decision into a practice plan.
- Choose a situation. Start with your weapon, an opponent response and a clear goal.
- Place a sourced route. Search the Data Bank and add a route with its patch, setup and evidence.
- Draw the decision. Add conditions to each branch, cover escapes and name the point where you reset.
- Test and revise. Record what worked, what escaped and what changes at another damage range or position.
- Learn in public. Share a saved chart or a chart image on Community. Rate another player’s work and explain the setup, the useful idea and one testable improvement. Use the replies to refine your next version.

What is a flowchart?
A map of your decisions: the situation, a response, the next branch and the point where you reset. Build a plan you can adapt as the opponent responds.
01 / See
Name the opening or situation.
02 / Decide
Write the response you are covering.
03 / Branch
Connect what changes your next action.
04 / Reset
Show when the sequence ends.

Build your decision map ↓Original Coach Cosmic route references
This is what the map is meant to explain.
A finished BrawlFlow chart makes your decisions visible: the opening, the condition for each branch, the response you cover and the point where you stop. These original charts show how I map those choices.
Chakrams
Start from safely placed neutral. Compare form, dodge response, height, and the route back to a stable position.
Study the Chakrams decisions
Axe
Separate each follow-up by target height, damage and whether you can return to stage.

Hammer
A grounded conversion trunk and situational aerial catches are different decisions.

Rocket Lance
Movement, jump height and the last hitbox decide whether the next branch is available.

Blasters
Put the jump-height and landing requirements beside the arrow, rather than hiding them in memory.

Katars
A loop needs an angle, a grounded state and a response check. The reset belongs on the map too.

Gauntlets
Split grounded follow-ups from aerial carries and show what ends the sequence.
