GGs. What is up with the Sonic vs. Mii Gunner MU? It's practically impossible if there's a platform on the stage, hampering homing attacks. Sonic's homing attack is even programmed to home in on Mii Gunner's flame pillar! Ha, what the heck.

I find it a bit weird that his explosives don't hit himself. The screen pollution's too much for Sonic; it's the first time I've ever experienced that.

Lol so thats why your keep hitting the pillars over and over again. Idk about the match I've never played a Sonic before. Can't really practice him on For Glory. But I definitely think its a bad match up doe sonic seeing as pillar beats all of his b moves
 
So, I'm totally Smashed! On my 18th, I think, kinda lost count Island Orchid my wife made...like 5th pitcher now... So in celebration being Smashed I'm gonna play Smash while smashed and probably get smashed. Using only the plain Wiimote. Also popping about 8mg of Ativan+10mg of Ambien before starting so should be vapor trails of fun!

Prolly some Drunken Boxing with Little Mac. xD

Anyway, something else kinda annoys me about this game. Which is you can simply grind out all the characters just by playing lots of Smash battles...Melee and Brawl both had chars you had to unlock under certain circumstances or some kind of "unlock preset". So that had no reason to be changed and I wish I actually had to work for all the unlocks, but it is what it is. Plus, all the challengers were too easy to beat imo. :\

Best of luck in your drinking night extravaganza! :D

That said, you -also- could unlock everyone just by playing lots of Smash battles in both Melee and Brawl; it's just that the number of matches needed for all the characters is slower in each iteiration; for Melee, you had to fight 1000 battles if you wanted everyone. For Brawl, 450 (if memory serves). For Smash Wii U...Just 100.

Yeah, those flame pillars act exactly as Luma for some reason, forcing Sonic to home in on them and essentially making the attack useless. It's certainly the first time where I can definitely say "This is a bad MU for Sonic, straight up." Guess I'll have to learn to play other characters after all, heh.

Wow, I totally didn't know that LOL, I learned something new! Hopefully I remember it!
 
Oh god that finish.

Hahahahahahahahaha. I don't care either way but usually I do no-items and the usual not-terrible stages/omega lol.
 
I've got Link and Samus amiibos. What would be the best way to build them for the inevitable Smash WiiU Amiibo cockfights at Evo? I have Link as Spd/Atk and Samus as Atk/Def, both with standard movesets.
 
And killager takes home the win with the tree. Dumbest yet funniest attack in smash yet. Alright GG dragon life, Jahranimo, and Vylash. It was fun mayhem. Let do it again sometimes.
 
GGs Kei. Best matches I've had next to Shamrock. I can definitely feel Palutena leveling up from those sets. Minus all the stupid SDs. I hate Warp.

I posted your and Shamrock's NNID in FGW to encourage folks to play you guys. Your Link is especially formidable.

neat! I'll add Shamrock to play against too, and let's keep leveling up, anyone who thinks Bowser is low tier needs to play you lol
 
I have this and 3DS version of the game and I really try to love it, but I just can't.. :( Holy shit the gameplay feels is so simple and stupid. Overly magnetic edges and every character has super good recoveries, so you can play like an idiot and still comeback easily. Floaty psychics and almost no combos, because so much lag and lack of hitstun etc. If both players know how to play, the matches are getting longer and longer.

The game looks super good and there is so much content in it, but it doesn't matter for me, if the gameplay feels bad. Yes, I'm probably the only one around here.. help me.

Thanks! I am trying to learn Palutena as well. I wanted to learn Zelda, but I feel her prospects are...limited. I would love to find a great Zelda player to prove me wrong, though. I also dont know why people rag on Olimar. He feels very competent when I use him casually. Out of the entire cast, I really only doubt the potential of Zelda and Metaknight.

You should play one of the better players around here to change your mind.
 
I just can't seem to get through 20 rounds of Crazy Orders w/ Mario fast enough. I just managed to clear 19 rounds with 3 seconds left on the clock and now I need to head back to Classic to farm more passes.

Probably ought to farm more useful gear while I'm at it.
 
is the game worth it if you hav 0 change of local multiplayer? i have a fast internet connection, but if its a laggy mess ill skip it

There's no helping you. You don't like what you don't like. Have fun with other games.

yeah, I have been trying Zelda too,I casually use all Zelda's characters, but since I did kind of bad with Ganon I was pretty sure I would be destroyed with Zelda lol

I find her playstyle pretty gimmickish, she has some relievable stuff, but still lacks more options imo, we should try some dittos sometime, I think we'll learn a thing or couple from each other playstyle

I wish the bolded was actually true because I'd like to win some For Glory matches at some point. :P

If you've got fast internet you should be just fine.

Most of the time I can't tell the difference between online and local play.

Anyone want to 1vs1? Romancedawn

Do you have the gear to give you an automatic Homerun Bat? I finished 20 rounds in 5 minutes easily.

My problem is that I lose to Crazy + Master Hand with Mario. :p

Exactly why I didn't pick Zelda. If my Palutena gets crushed, Zelda has no hope, haha. I just feel like she has no real neutral game at all. Everything is so unsafe outside of her jab and tilts. They all have great range, but you can't handle someone like Little Mac with that approach. I feel like Sakurai should polish up her specials and orient her around those. Then she would be fine.
