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

It doesn't extend to the top of the screen any more but it is still useful. It now brings enemies down to pikachu, which gives him more combo options.
 
Hey everyone,

So my BFF sort of flaked out on buying the game and a group of "old Smash friends" don't seem to want to add me (or haven't gotten around to it and I really don't want to pester). And I'd be lying if I said playing the game wasn't just a bit lonely for it.

Any of you all wanna shoot a friend code/name??? Sorry if this sounds stupid, silly, or desperate --- I'd just rather play real people and GAF people are decent company. :P

@Monster Zero & El Odio mind if I add you (or vice versa)?

ME: Dice963
Go for it. less I get to it first.

Request sent.
 
NNID? Name doesnt matter else youd just use no name/change whenever your record got bad enough.

So when you go online you don't pick your name but it automatically selects the NNID?

OK that's cool as long as every NNID shares he exact same file down to the recorded stats of local multiplayer for each name. Is that the case?

It records local multiplayer stats per name?

And yes? How would it...not select your NNID? Your consoles logged into one as a whole. Aka its per console mii.

Sure, why not. "ProfessorBeef" is mine.

Anyone else is free to add as well, just make sure to put your GAF name in the friend request or else I'm probably just gonna delete.

Just send me an invite and I'll accept it later when I get home. Mine is the same as my username (random25). If you're available later we can set up a match!

I just want to make sure that we all have the same file including all stats (offline) and unlocks because there's three of us who want to play online. In Mario Kart for example we all had to unlock karts and characters individually and when playing multiplayer have to choose a file to decide who gets to keep the coins.
 
- How many trophies are there in total? And are there some trophies that have special unlock requirements outside of the challenge board, trophy rush and the shop?

Some of the Events give you Trophies (you see an icon on the Event Map), however, they don't seem to be unique. I got the Daybreak for beating the Kid Icarus Event where you gotta assemble it, yet I had already gotten it as a random drop.
 
Holy shit, is that without the use of hammers?

Which ones do you still need to do and which ones gave you the most trouble?



What do you mean with Hyper Offensive? Is that equipment? Teach me, bro :)
Yeah, no hammers, most I need left are grinding for collection stuff; only real challenge is Hard All Star for every character; most trouble will be this. 20 Crazy Orders with Mario is tough too, luck is needed.

I gave Marth 200 Attack, -100 defense which doubles his power, probably killed everyone in 3 solid hits, decimated all Master Core forms with dem tippers.

Ohhh, I forgot custom characters existed.
 
So dumb question, are With Anyone games hosted on a server, or they also P2P like With Friends is? The reason I ask is because I had never had a problem with With Anyone games, but then I started playing with a friend the other day and they were all lagfests. Then I enabled QoS on my router, putting my Wii U in highest priority and then everything was perfect!

I hate challenges that "cost" money (or passes) to attempt :( They add even more stress.

But, I see, equipment is key, then? What are the names of the equipment pieces you've used? And can equipment be used in EVERY mode?

I've done all the challenges in the 3DS version without using equipment (it just doesn't appeal to me) so I'm still very new to it all despite having clocked that game, LOL.
 
So I found a VERY easy way to cheese "The FINAL Final Battle"
Marth is suggested for his beautiful up B for free hits

Hang off the edge, drop, jump, up b back to ledge doing slight damage, repeat

3 suicided then i killed one, but i can confirm all 4 of the enemies have the ability to suicide if you leave them be, none are exempt from stupidity.

Edit: Wait, nothing for doing every event on hard? BOO THIS GAME

I used 2 Legendary Swords and a Silver, anything to get to 200. It's probably doable with no customs, but I was laughing during all core forms, especially Fortress. Of course, the name of the game is to not get hit. You can't use customs in All Star and Stadium modes.
 
Today's pic of the day was about the Gamer stage which I don't suppose any one cares about because you can just play the stage itself. Kbai.

Or you already know how it works because you're a good sport and played Game and Wario.
 
Just finished all the solo event matches. Overall, they did a much better job with events this time when compared to Brawl. Lots of creative non-battle events, interesting/funny battle scenarios, and some classic all-star battle royales for good measure. A good chunk of them were pretty challenging too. I especially liked the one where you had to prevent the Game & Watches from landing on Lylat Cruise. The only terrible one was "Kirby's Crazy Appetite." Whoever made that one should be fired. Out of a cannon.
 
Hmm... *rubs chin*

I really need to figure out a name for Peach because she looks so good in this game and I'm eager to see her at lv. 50 kicking butt :-O

I don't know. All of my amiibos' nicknames are the actual nicknames my friends and I have been calling the characters for years. Sammy, kirbs, and yosh. Nobody like peach so she never got a nickname. : p
 
Browsing through all of the trophies and stuff I've unlocked so far, and it seems like Namco just really doesn't ever feel like acknowledging Ms. Pac-Man. It makes sense when you consider that they didn't really have anything to do with the development of that game, but you'd think it would be given a little more dues since it was the most popular game in that whole franchise.

An alt really seemed like a no brainer. You mean there's no trophy of her either? Says Wiki:

After the game became wildly popular, Midway and GCC undertook a brief legal battle concerning royalties. The Killer List of Videogames notes that the game was accomplished without Namco's consent, causing both companies to eventually turn over the rights to Namco. Ms. Pac-Man was reportedly the first in a series of unauthorized sequels that eventually led to the termination of the licensing agreement between Namco and Midway.[4] GCC co-founder Doug Macrae has disputed stories that the game was manufactured without Namco's blessing, claiming that then-Namco president Masaya Nakamura had even provided feedback over character artwork during the game's development.[5]

Ms. Pac-Man was later released on the third Namco Museum game; however, there is no mention of it in Namco's official archives (including the archives on all of the Namco Museum releases).

I wonder if this has anything to do with it...

Maybe. There are other games that seem to be omitted from mention entirely for legal reasons.

Notice that the arcade version of Donkey Kong isn't really referenced in SSB (or by Nintendo much in general). Luigi's first listed appearance is his first actual appearance, the arcade version of Mario Bros. But Mario's first listed appearance is the NES version of Donkey Kong, which was released considerably later.

Also I was kind of surprised to see that there are distinct Famicom and NES category icons. Games not released in the US (Devil World) have a Famicom icon.
 
As my near suicide at the start of the match and inability to barely scratch you indicated, I need some sleep. Good games monster, you're really good. Sorry bout the items thing earlier, I had idea lobbies switched the rule maker in this one.

You got a damn fine Ludwig man, he's a bad match up for me so it's nice to fight a good one everyone now and then

Good eye in the Famicom bit! I always took the appearances in the trophies as just examples and not indicative of their first roles, hence mainstay characters only listing the latest games and so on.

Wario's Final Smash trophy doesn't list any game appearances at all. I could have sworn it did in Brawl...
