Standard Tactics: Smash characters are general wild cards whose moveset tailor to how a person plays. Thus making it hard to tell what their standard tactics are.

Weaknesses: Holding their shield too long will cause it to break leaving them in a dazed state.

Note: The attack that Tabuu used to one-shot the entire Smash cast is far above his regular attacks and this is further proven in-game as when he uses this same attack it one-shots whoever is on-screen thus arguing that they should not scale to Tabuu because he one-shotted them is not accurate as it's with a very specific attack.
