I definitely will check it out!
So a number of things came in the mail.
First, this shiny, gold Smash Bros coin from the Best Buy event, complete with letter:
Next, my Japanese 3DS has arrived! Shit said "used" on ebay. I don't know how the Japanese define the word used, but this thing was PRISTINE. No finger prints, scratches, or even d-pad marks on the top screen, which is a problem almost all vanilla 3DS' I've seen have.
It really was like new. If you are looking to play Smash 3DS early, I suggest you pick up a "used" Japanese 3DS off ebay now before everyone starts to and the prices on them increase. This one cost me $135 with shipping.
I think I'm going to download Yokai Watch to kill time between now and September. Prepare yourself, Japanese eshop.
I'll be flying to San Diego on Thursday for Comic Con. I plan to play a metric fuckload of Smash 3DS during the next week, and hopefully some more Smash U after the tournament, time permitting. I will post impressions when I get back, and I'd to actually use all the characters in both versions. Judging from last year, Comic Con will have multiple setups for each game. Last year, I played 3D World twice, Bayonetta 2, Link Between Worlds, Wind Waker HD... all in the time it took me to play Smash U once at Best Buy. Getting my hands on most characters shouldn't be an issue. Hopefully they bring Gamecube controllers, too.
I also plan on taking that 3DS tournament. I don't give a damn what rules they use. I don't give a damn if I have to camp the entire match. I'M WINNING FOR GAF.

The coin is legit. Definitely not cheaply made. Cool little collectable right there.

A lot of the background icons have bits of them cut off from when he pasted another one below it, probably because he took them from the smash wiki which has a massive amount of empty space around each icon.
If you're downloading something off the eshop, mind letting me know if you notice any increase/decrease in how long it takes, since you're downloading it off the japanese one? I'm planning on doing the same thing and want to make sure it won't be hard to do.
Just pick sheik and string tilts and back airs all day, most people there will not know what to do against it.

For official format yeah, but for singles most use them
I sometimes do VGC but honestly I just can't do them, it's too fast paced, bulky offense and stall or really tough to do in them
And I find VGC's banning of really stupid and random legendareies like the pixies really annoying. Why are some select few legendaries allowed but something so NOT broken like Celebi, Jirachi, Victini, etc. not allowed
Hell, even frailer legendaries like Darkrai without Dark Void, Shaymin-Sky really aren't broken either, not when there are two opponents to take care of. And I dislike the 4 pokemon from your team only rule, etc, etc.
Plus you don't get many physical tournaments made with smogon rules, but a whole bunch of tournaments set online using Pokemon Showdown or online that are pretty big
Bad idea, gonna need to use a character that's better at getting and using final smashes.
Sure. For what its worth, I downloaded a trailer and it downloaded pretty damn fast. I'll test on a full game (Yokai Watch) soon.
Huh, I was told I had to wait until I picked up my Pre-order in order to get that, now I'm a bit jealous
Best of luck with the 3DS tourny

Dat White 3DS. It really look nice. I hope that you have fun with Japanese 3DS. I'm going to save those money for Amiibos instead.
Good luck with 3DS tournament, and I probably would see you on stream if they are going to shown everything.
... I actually straight up forgot that items were a thing that existed for a minute there.

Yeah.
If you want an advantage, Anthony, play Brawl or Project M with the default classic controller/pro settings, except set grab to the L button. Should help get you somewhat used to the layout.

DKCR sold well, but Tropical Freeze seems to be a disappointment. The later seems to be way too new to influence this Smash bros line up though.
I guess, but if we're ignoring DKTF, then the last DKC game was still massively successful.
Also Retro should have given Sakurai their fur shader, DK looks shit in smash compared to TF.

I never really got why Pokemon Stadium is a "Fox stage", simply killing off the top faster isn't much when the platform setup is terrible (at least against Marth, since this is the matchup being discussed).
Looking forward to your impressions.
Since the Japanese version of Smash for the 3DS is being released in early September, the 3DS build of the game that will be used next week at Comic Con will likely be quite close to the final build.

Canada had a more sensible way of doing things.

Anth0ny pick Fox, use the landmasters well 
Good luck at the tourney! Hope you kick some ass with Sheik

It definitely looks a lot better than his Smash model, but the framerate probably couldn't be maintained with 4 DKs using it, plus items, stage hazards, bosses and such.
Marth's final smash suxors.
If you want to win, go with your main from the past games. Especially if your main is Pikachu, Samus, Sonic, or ZSS. Because those are quick, good at getting the smash ball, and have excellent final smashes.

I would lol if the final 1v1 ends up being between two pros (like maybe DEHF vs Tyrant or something).
and have an embarrassing SD off a Final Smash?
nah
ITT: People who didn't learn how to B cancel Marth's Critical Hit.
Also ITT: People who didn't learn to abuse the gigantic lingering hit box on a early canceled Critical Hit.
and have an embarrassing SD off a Final Smash?
nah
Can't you cancel out of the FS in Brawl? I know you can in PM, but I thought you could as well in Brawl
Edit:
That's what I was thinking of, it's not even 'pro-level strats' it's a simple "Oh shit, I'm gonna miss, better hit B"
theprodigy
Member
ITT: Marth fanboy in denial that Fox is a better suggestion due to his superior Final Smash
(also while you can cancel, something tells me people miss under pressure, also 3DS)

You mean the Cat Suit? Ha, that should just be an item in and of itself. Maybe next time.
...fuck it, gonna just do some obnoxious theorycrafting and say what alts each character should have in my dream game.
It's a Saturday, leave me alone

That's a good list. I'm impressed.

Remember, Sheik's grenade will draw your opponents in. It will absolutely fuck everyone up.

And also the F-Zero stage I desire, a bar room brawl filled with other racers.
It's not like the Captain is known for racing these days, he is however known for brawling.

People were evaluating the stage from only one angle. The article mentions this. I think the reason it's favorable to offensive Fox matchups is because Fox has the ability to tech chase into uair. With M2K however you need to play defensively or at least very carefully because M2K has a very strong punish game. The fewer recovery options Mang0 has to recover on Pokemon Stadium translated into more punish opportunities for M2K which is why we see Mango perform worse on the stage.

Man, I forgot how bad the VA was in that game.
"hey where do you think ur takin me"

Oh my god. This kind of thing was exactly the kind of alt I wanted to come up with for every character, but it completely skipped my mind for Falcon.
That coin is beautiful. Damn.
Also, get a ton of 3DS coverage too!
This post makes me happy.
P.S: High five, I own an Ice White OG 3DS. Damn nice white.

Out of curiosity, assuming the 3DS version doesn't have voice chat, would anyone in here be interested in getting groups together for Skype or whatever group voice chat service would work best? We did it for Mario Kart 8 (which we need to again) and it worked really well. With less people in Smash per game, it would only work better.
