Such a waste of time for that one.

idk why but I am addicted to Master Orders

It's like my favorite 1P mode in the game

 

[JC Lately]

Zero Suit Samus is the ultimate high-flying rush-down character

You mean Pikachu.

Ok, ZSS and Pikachu. That’s good. Any others? Also: I’ve heard Pikachu’s down B was nerfed in this game. That true?

I didn't even know people really played with time limits at home to be honest. I've always played stock to the death, but I had never really known much about the community until the later years of Brawl.

Where as I didn’t know people favored stocks until like last summer. Brawl was my first Smash though and I used to consider it more of party game than a fighter. Stocks seemed needlesly stressful in that mind set.

 

[Watch Da Birdie]

I just realized that Ai No Uta isn't in the game.

FUCK YOU.

Outside of Sonic (apparently Sega picks the soundtrack for him?), it really seems Sakurai realized people didn't like "vocal" songs. Only other two left are the DK Rap and Ashley's Song.

I mean, yeah, we have other "Vocal" ones, but they're DK grunts, and Light Plane and Bath Time are more humming and little background vocals as opposed to full scale lyrics.

 

[AjNimajwalHansel]

Honestly...either they should determine it by % lead for For Glory, and if they don't want to do that, just keep it the way it is, except without the Bobombs. The latter might make for long SD rounds, but at least it isn't RNG bullshit.

Honestly the best solution would just be to have a tie, where both players get a loss.

Yeah, it's pretty annoying to play someone like that. If someone forces you to SD, do some avoiding for a few seconds and then go hang on a ledge just before you can tell the bob-bombs are coming, then watch them get wrecked. Maybe then they will learn their lesson...

Clear 7.0 with all characters

the hell?!
Such a waste of time for that one.

Interesting, I basically did this in the 3DS version. Good thing I got practice

 

[FSLink]

But doing it the ENTIRE MATCH?

I get that it's frustrating but honestly unless there was lag you should have been able to catch him. Try it yourself sometime, simply running away isn't the best strategy.
Sudden Death is complete BS though yeah.

Those were real fun! Sorry i gotta go, but that was great! Sorry for the lag :/ I need to fix it real bad. Sick and tired of comcast.

Yeah, 7.0 was the level where, no matter the character, I could beat it without failing.

That's not too hard. 7.0 difficulty is pretty manageable.

Damn, I wonder if it's my internet or yours. I haven't had any problems up till now

Probably mine, by what you're saying. Nice matches, though.

Hope we play again when my internet stops being useless.

Haha, yeah for sure. I need to get better at going against Mac. None of my friends use him! I'm just glad Link seems to be good again

Whaddaya mean people don't "like" vocal songs? Those are the ones that always stand out the most and seem the most interesting on the Smash OST.

 

[Watch Da Birdie]

Samus, Link (or Toon Link) and DK being the main ones that leap to mind.

I think Toon Link is fine as is, it's really regular Link who should've been changed...really wish they went Skyward Sword, although I guess it was easier to use Brawl Link since SS Zelda really wouldn't work that well with her skill set here, and Sheik would feel outta place. If Wii U Link is the only main Link between now and Smash 5, will Sakurai skip over that? Personally, I think Smash 5 should go with a Link/Zelda/Ganondorf that are like the ones in HW, combining elements of all of them and being Smash-original, sort of.

But anyway, really think Link should've been able to roll bombs, and replace his Boomerang with, I dunno, something from Skyward Sword. The Beetle if it wasn't an item could've been cool, if it just poked the foe away, and could grab items for Link like the Pikmin.

Wish I could, but I'm getting internet problems at the moment.

 

[jholmes]

So I tried all-star mode on hard today and just could not get close to beating it. I beat it on hard on 3DS without any real difficulty, but the computer is just ripping me in half here. Is the hard mode just that much harder on Wii U? Or am I just not on my game at all today?

 

[Watch Da Birdie]

Is the money based off real money?

The glare obscures it here, but there's a young boy wearing a newsboy cap in the circle. One of the Challenge Pics you can see a good look at it.

I want to make some joke because of what youre asking but ive got nothing.

Im surprised how little "Get a room" jokes ive seen so far in smash

 

[Moonlight]

Good attitude, with that mindset you will improve as long as you kind find good enough opponents... you're only as good as the people you fight :3

Most of the good players seem to have fled the 3DS scene with the WiiU release, though. >_>

What's the top 5 tier list looking like right now for the game?

1. Diddy
2. Diddy
3. Diddy
4. Diddy
5. Diddy

Spoiler

sheik, rosalina, and sonic are contenders, nothing else is even remotely concrete

Shit I totally forgot about Trophy boxes. How do you even access them?

When viewing the trophy, depending on your controller, it should say on the bottom left which button to push.

I seriously don't get why Adventure Mode is so liked, especially more than SSE.

It's the definition of half-baked, for me. You got three neat side-scrolling levels, but then it basically abandons that in favor of more or less Event Matches. And it's the same thing, and you have to do it with every character. It got stale.

SSE was way better, imo. It wasn't perfect, but it was way more varied, and was a fun way to unlock everyone if you enjoy the SP-style of Smash. And people, when Brawl came out, acted like it seriously detracted a ton from the rest of the game, but Brawl was about equal to 4 in terms of the main content, and 4 doesn't have anything near SSE-levels.

You're comparing Adventure Mode with 25 characters, vs SSE once. Try playing SSE as many times as you played Adventure Mode and you will see.

Ike is pretty okay. Olimar is the true bottom of the barrel.

I wish they didn't change the timing on Ike's fair. I have to relearn one of his most important moves.

I don't care. It's bullshit. Any respectable tournament wouldn't allow it.

Well, you weren't playing in a tournament, were you?

What? Please elaborate

Probably lag stemming from inadequate internet connection.

Most of the good players seem to have fled the 3DS scene with the WiiU release, though. >_>

We will settle it in Smash one day.

So is anybody setting up a gaf tournament? Feel like taking my ZSS out for a spin.

 

[(mat)]

1v1 anybody? Add mtorchia and make a room.

 

[zlatko]

The characters I'm interested in if I pick this up:

Greninja
Shulk
Little Mac

How viable are these 3? I like fast characters that can get back onto the fight arena without issues.

 

[Watch Da Birdie]

You're comparing Adventure Mode with 25 characters, vs SSE once. Try playing SSE as many times as you played Adventure Mode and you will see.

But the game encouraged you to play Adventure Mode multiple times, going through all the stages as one character.

SSE on the other hand, encouraged you to switch between the whole cast, and in each level you could play as multiple characters.

Greninja
Shulk
Little Mac

Greninja is probably the best in terms of speed, and recovery.

Shulk is a "stance change" character, and I don't think people have yet to "get him", yet.

Little Mac is fast, but once you're off the stage...well...good luck.

There's a Captain Rainbow song in the Punch Out stage that also has full vocals (can't recall the name of the song right now).

I feel like everyone is finding ways of countering Diddy's game. Sheik doesn't have much in the way of kill potential.

I don't really relate the Link that's in the Wii U version of Smash to the Twilight Princess one that was used in Brawl. The 3DS one seems to share the model, but the Wii U game has a more "original" or "classic" look to Link that seems to be a mesh of his many looks over the past 10 or so years. I see OOT Link, TP Link, and Skyward Link all at the same time in this game. I really love his design in this game.

 

[Pappasman]

Sonic is so much better than Diddy. Its not even close.

 

[Moonlight]

Sheik? Sheik has no kill moves. Maybe one, not a good one.

Sheik's KO power got nerfed through the floor in the last patch, but everything that made Sheik good (her speed, her combos, her damage output) is still alive, and Sheik's still getting far into tournaments. Even if something happens that drops her out of Top 5, it's seriously doubtful that she'll ever drop out of high tier.

I feel like everyone is finding ways of countering Diddy's game. Sheik doesn't have much in the way of kill potential.

Diddy is flavour of the month, but he's still very good. Up-air is absolutely the most ludicrous move. I was just making a joke about Diddy everywhere anyways. :lol

Eh, I dunno, I totally get "Twilight Princess!" from Link and co. They look really odd in Skyloft...Toon Link is a better fit there.

Is SS Link in as a Trophy? I've gotten a few SS characters, but not him or Zelda.
