Got Smash, NNID is my gaf name minus the space.

Add me up if you're at home now - I won't he home for a few hours. NNID is Karsticles.

How is the netcode in Smash? I figured it would be better to ask in here than the smash thread since it's moving so damn fast.

A+ on the 3DS, and I hear even better on the Wii U.

 

[Rhapsody]

Getting hit by Carmine's like getting hit by a footdive. It sucks.

And Eltnum's fun. I really liked how the character turned out in UNIEL.

 

[Coffeeling]

Everyone loves the scumbag characters they play and hates the scumbag characters they don't play. Gordeau can go die in a tire fire, regardless. :V I really do think French Bread screwed up designing that character, and it's not even because he's so overpowering... it's just that he can do pretty much everything and there is no way (short of cutting off resources) to get him to not flip coins all day for profit. It's a rare instance where I think a character needs to be nerfed, and it would really be that he just needs to be designed to not have so many goddamn options.

I'm just naturally drawn to "master of all" types. They're tricky things to get right though - too weak and they become jacks of all trades which is just not the same, but a smidge too much and they're just way too much. The ideal implementation is still overpowered, but by only a small bit. It's a razor thin margin to hit that though.

The only characters in UNIEL I hate are Vatista and Eltnum.

Vat makes me feel stupid at times.

Eltnum is just fucking annoying.

Eltnum would be my #2 choice. Those stagger strings <3

Vatista I hate because her appearance and VA are just sickening. Goddamn "guruguruu" grinds my ears so much it's unreal.

Well Carmine's annoying with his HOORRAAA
Actually tbh, I find that the top half of the UNIEL roster are all pretty obnoxious in their own ways.

and if you play a character on the bottom half fuggetaboutit

 

[Rhapsody]

I usually don't go into the Smash Wii U thread, and it's hard to keep track of what's been said since it moves so fast.

But the Wii U has some issues with the C-stick programming. I noticed this myself when I loaded up the game today.
Having the C- stick affect your character like that accidentally is not good.

There are only 2-3 not viable chars in UNiEL

Congratulations to him.

Awesome stuff. Congrats to Max for reaping the benefits of all of his hard work.

 

[QisTopTier]

Awesome for max, he's been playing the hell out of that game so him being on the team is awesome

 

[Karsticles]

That's crazy. She is super good at KOing. Though, IIRC, Luma has all the launch power, while Rosalina has all the % power.

Forward smash

yea, but controlling luma is really awkward

 

[Fiktion]

Forward smash

Her neutral air also has strong priority and is good for offstage kills. Down air can spike. You can get kills off the top screen with up air too.

Neutral B wrecks shit if you can land it.

Oh Nanase why it had to be you...

Doesn't look like it was posted in here but the GGXRD PS4 demo is coming to NA for PS+ subscribers next week.

 

[jbug617]

Xrd demo next week

[Anne]

TBH I am not all too sure but I'm pretty sure Nanase is not one of the chars to fall into that not viable spot. The console characters are heavily underdeveloped and a lot of scrubs would rather whine about her than actually critically look into the game. All it takes is one popular twitter monster to be a scrub and the entire anime community believes some horse shit.

Great stuff for Max!

 

[Beats]

After playing for a couple of hours the engine changes to DI/Vectoring in Smash 4 are pretty noticeable. Getting lots of kills at percents much lower than usual and I'm connecting some combos more often than before.

Yeah that's me.

 

[Rhapsody]

I don't think Nanase's all that bad where she's not viable.

She struggles in a lot of matchups though, but those are mostly matchups everyone struggles with.

 

[Anne]

Yeah that's me.

You're not a scrub if you admit it.

That's the first step on the road to recovery

Smash is hype

This is still going on it seems!

1) Gord is an asshole.
2) Nanase is good; don't care what anybody else says.

 

[VanillaCakeIsBurning]

Nope.

You're going to have to pony up some cash for a PS4 if you want to get your Xrd on early unfortunately.

 

[enzo_gt]

Man, I need to get me PS+ in time for the GG demo and Injustice on the IGC.

Black Friday pls

 

[MrDaravon]

Congrats Max!

I think the Smash hype may be getting to me. I don't have anyone to play with locally really, but if the online is solid like what most people are reporting I might bite. Outside of like a couple of hours I've never played any of the previous games really. Still bummed that Subspace got cut (that's the only reason I touched Brawl), but there's apparently no end of unlockable single-player stuff to do. Hmm.

 

[Marz]

So that new KI character...thoughts?

 

[Kumubou]

The ideal implementation is still overpowered, but by only a small bit. It's a razor thin margin to hit that though.

It's funny, though -- I feel like they already got that archetype with Eltnum (except in UNIEL she does have a point of emphasis in that her blockstrings are crazy good, I love it) and she's annoying strong as it is.

TBH I am not all too sure but I'm pretty sure Nanase is not one of the chars to fall into that not viable spot.

I do think the console characters are underdeveloped, but from the limited time I spent playing Nanase she just seems bad. I know they wanted to make a simple character, but it feels like French Bread just forgot to give her anything.

Also, speaking of Nanase, yet apropos of nothing.

 

[LeMaximilian]

Thanks much for the kind words, folks.

Been desperately trying to continue Assist Me MVC3 and start that show where I review old shitty fighting games with Benny, but stuff keeps happening!

 

[Lostconfused]

Now NA is getting the Xrd demo? Maybe I should just buy a HRAP V4.

Edit: Oh you mean the demo would be out on the day that I would get the stick delivered too? This seems to be making things really easy.

 

[onionfrog]

... I'll just wait for the game to come out.

Not yet. Maybe when Street Fighter 5 comes out.

Spoiler

or Marvel 4

Paid online subscriptions are a real bummer.

The Hayabusa stick is sex, but the Kuro buttons are squeaky ass.

Alioune played Nanase a lot when the game came out and I remember him saying the character was viable in most of the matchups and that she was good. I played him too and he had nasty mixups and big combos... Basically hey slide sword special is horrible to deal with when she has vorpal since she can make it safe on block and close the distance this way very fast.

 

[Lostconfused]

I bought a Hayabusa lever and some game finger buttons expecting to get a new mad catz stick. I guess I can just replace the kuros with game finger buttons and have an extra arcade lever on hand.

 

[MrDaravon]

This tool assisted Abel getting a 99-hit combo on Mike's stream right now is hilarious.

 

[VanillaCakeIsBurning]

Bedman corner pressure.

... I'll just wait for the game to come out.

It may be because Sony wants the PS4 pushed more? I don't think ArcSys ever made an official comment on it but it probably has to do with them pushing the next-gen version.

Despite that they've said that the two versions are to perform identically, just with a difference in resolution IIRC.

EDIT: Sorry if my previous post offended you. I was trying to be funny (and failed).

 

[QisTopTier]

Bedman corner pressure.

Hehehe

Edit: Those matches are amazing

damn i think silky got perma banned.... you can only get banned so many times before they pull the trigger.

Silky got permed? Damn.

Silky kind of loses his cool in a lot of threads I see though.

 

[VanillaCakeIsBurning]

Hehehe

Edit: Those matches are amazing

Yeah I could see his deja vu stuff being difficult to counter online, not due to connection but just because a lot of people probably won't know what to do against it.

Are there any notable May players? So far I've only found people who seem to just be picking the character up.
