what's her best kill move, back air? She always had problems killing.

Back-air's really only good for gimping. Sheik basically has no kill moves. At least, no good ones after 1.0.4 buried her. Bouncing Fish is really the closest thing she has to one, and that won't reasonably kill till 130% off-stage.
 
God the adapter was hard to find this morning.

Sold out everywhere (main electronics stores said they received 5 each). I went into a local library that stocked video games and I actually grabbed the only adapter they had right as the lady was putting it on display. Talk about timing!

My evening plans would have been ruined otherwise.

ANYWAYS! Now I'm all ready to smash. Unlocked everyone and every stage.

Tried online a bit. Solid, but now flawless. But there's something in my walls here that I know disrupt the signal so I have to make due with it. :(

Is there no adventure mode like Melee? That really sucks if true.

Game is fun though, solid 8 so far. The framerate in photomode needs to be fixed pretty bad and allow for full rotation.

Melee had an amazing Adventure mode because they made it short, but incredibly high quality and really well detailed. Made it replayable over and over again because of how great it was.

Then with Brawl Sakurai decided to turn Adventure mode into this like 5 hour story mode where you go through a platforming game fighting monsters and the level design was absolute crap, gameplay was a bore, story was stupid (not that I expected much though), and it was just bland overall. It was hyped up like crazy too and I was so let down by it.

So naturally people hated the Brawl Adventure Mode because how bad it was, so Sakurai just took this as "Oh people don't want an adventure mode" instead of "People like a short but well done adventure mode".
 
This game man. This game. I shouldn't have bought anything else this month. This game is just unbelievably good. Online has been perfect, event mode is fun, classic is so good....uhghhhdjdjdjdjdjeejhdbddjkddj

Your library has a Gamecube Adapter? Wait your library has video games? What the heck? Where was this when I was a kid?

Upsmash is what I've been seeing.

Yeah, that does it. Forward smash too, if they like to abuse spot dodge, or you just get a hard punish.

Well, not a public library of course. More like a book store that also has musical instruments, movies, music, video games and board games.

It never made sense to me either but it sure made my day!
 
Online - over wifi - has been flawless for me. Can't wait to get my GCN adapter early next week & enjoy the long weekend by playing Smash all day long.
 
I really like that you can use your 3ds as a controller. I only have two controllers for my Wii U. I have the game pad and a pro controller. A bunch of my buddies came by and they brought their 3ds with their copy of smash bros for the 3ds and the six of us had a blast on my big screen. This game is unreal.
 
So my copies of the Wii U and 3DS game are missing the Club Nintendo insert.

Strange? Anyone notice this? Printing error on Nintendo's par? I need that soundtrack.
 
Apparently the game ignores left stick inputs whilst the c-stick is being used now, even in the air? So you can no longer do retreating FAirs and the like.


What the fuck.

That's really dumb. Why'd they do this?

Check the "reversible" cover *sigh*
Really sad that Nintendo started cheaping in a major way out a few months ago, but such is the retail world these days I suppose.
 
Just got my Amazon package. Got the standard version of the game and the Mario, Link, Samus, and Wii Fit Trainer Amiibos.

Can't wait to wrap up work and boot it up.

I can't find the video now, but this was addressed in a 7 min video on youtube with a fix (mostly). It involves setting the c-stick to attack in the controls.

C-stick charges smashes, this has been known for a month.
Click to expand...
That... has nothing to do with the quoted post?

C-Stick could be forced to charge Smash attacks previously as well. Either way, it seems really weird based on that one video.

But I didn't notice it myself yet. Was too worried about adapting muscle memory to the pro controller to get a feel for the c-stick.

Oh so did you have to buy it or is it free? I was blown away by the idea of some library checking out Gamecube Adapters.

I meant that the c-stick overriding the motion has been known about for a while, and its because of the charging in the c-stick. Just do flicks after you've given yourself momentum.
 
I've never been a c-stick guy as I like to time my smashes. However, with the ability to charge with the c-stick, should I resort to using the c-stick once and for all? Or is it still a "noob" thing to do?

I thought C-Sitck only gave you the weakest version of a smash attack in previous games?

Oh, ok, I see. I hadn't heard about it, so I didn't know anything about the new aerial behavior until today. I always thought the c-stick was handled in a slightly unique way, rather than just sending direction plus A or whatnot. Is the issue holding it, or using it at all? From what I heard, it sounds like you lose a lot air control even after flicking the stick. But like I said, I still need to experiment for myself. *stares at clock*

Primarily, yeah, but you can press Z + C-Stick to charge a smash with it.
Finale Fireworker said:
Yes it does. When the C-Stick is set to smashes it stops reading left stick inputs while the attack is charging. This happens when you hold the C-Stick in the air even though you're not charging the attack, so you can't move while using the C-Stick airborn.
Click to expand...
I see, I see. I guess I just expected a more careful implementation that would account for that. I don't really understand why they would change it like so when it was already perfect. But oh well, time to learn the new way.

Set C Stick to "Attack" and you can perform aerials correctly. You just lose Smash attacks.

There's an event where you fight Dark Samus and Ridley in a stamina match while the Metroid Prime Ridley theme plays. Talk about adding insult to injury T_T
 
Man, I've lost a few games online now because I keep forgetting to pick my control profile.

This is so stupid. Why can't I do a system wide control change? Gah!

Yeah, new friend I made at the launch brought his 3DS to my place and used it while everyone else used Pro Controllers. It remembered his custom controls and everything, and he did better than all of us since he was already acclimated. :-)
 
Will my amiiibo level up every time I use it, no matter what? I want it to remain at around my level of play. If it quickly gets to level 50 it'll just destroy me all the time, I bet.

Is it my choice when it levels, or is there a (easy) way to reset the level of the amiiibo?

You have to pre-emptively give yourself momentum if you want to do retreating fairs or any sort of aerial, if you leave the controller in its default set-up. You do lose the ability to move during the flick.
