Probably just does a lot of damage to shields, like Marth's Shield Breaker neutral B.

Speaking of which, I have no idea how to fight Bowser with Marth/Lucina. I'm basically forced to approach and I can't kill well or punish things easily. I'm surprised my f smash lost when timing it against Bowser's recovery. It looked like I spaced it right too, so I guess I'm going to have to attack with something else.

Also, I didn't realize how low hitstun was on some of my moves in this game :(

It's a travesty being f smashed when confirming off of my f-air that landed. Disadvantage on hit sucks as Marth. I'm basically forced to shield.

I'm still enjoying the game, but I do see more of its flaws as it goes on.

My advice is not to attempt to break the game down too much unless you're totally convinced you want to be competitive with it. Just try to have fun with it and learn as you go.

Hmm, I've been trying to utilize these movement options in Smash 4, but I'm afraid of destroying my circlepad so I don't really go in on it and that makes getting the timing down more difficult. Maybe I'll wait for the Wii U version before trying to get too serious with the game. :x

GGs earlier Karst. I'm not sure what you can do with Bowser to do better against WFT though. The Fire Ball that you used in the first match seemed more useful than the other one.

The custom move grind in this game is perhaps the most annoying thing I have seen in the last decade. Not since FFX ultimate weapons have I been so pissed.

Another thing is that there's no easy way to survey what you have or haven't unlocked as far as customizations go. You would have to go through every character manually.

Is Joe only on there because of Dieminion? Or are there some other players who do pretty good with Joe?
Click to expand...

Joe is there because he the most annoying character to fight against in there, because his movement is very good, his projectile game is very good(his voomerang instant air dash voomerang is very hard to get out of) also his charged voomerang loop some characters cannot get out of it at all because they have no way to hit him out of it, and he has a good set of hypers, two with startup invinciblty, but has no safe DHC at all.

Also very small hitbox so he is hard to hit too, also, his j.S is a very good normal too, because it can cross up and has multiple hits too

Tier list of viable characters according to fchamp

No Super Skrull there even though he is essential to the Apologyman Firebrand team (and has actually won a major). Tier list is also missing Wesker and Hawkeye. It's pretty much a running joke that Wesker is irrelevant but he can hold his own against a bunch of those characters. Frank of course as mentioned. A case can be made for Sentinel as a support.

Also Zero dah god. And Nova in top 5 because FChamp got the scare of his life playing against Nemo in the MM.

Some characters seem to be there just because champ is acknowledging their potential rather than them having a player really showcase their strengths (Joe, RR, MODOK)

So what is wrong with Smash 4? I assume people knew it was a smash game going into it, so is this just "my bestest character is missing" or is it really becoming a proper fighting game?

How could "my bestest character is missing" even be a thing? If you buying a game is contingent on a specific character being including, look it up on the internet before you buy the damn game.

Not Melee and because it lacks [unique characteristics of Melee gameplay here].

get some go again
the guys throwing tantrums are the same types as the sf3/mvc2 guys who refused to get sf4/mvc3. probably best to ignore them and keep playing and having fun with the game.

Seriously?

It is a thing ever since buying something just so you could whing about it became a thing. Which was a long, long, time ago.

What is up with some people and bothering others who are trying to enjoy the game? Me and some guys start playing smash on a bench and some dude walks up and starts prattling on and on about how melee's better. In the end we just sat there playing smash while trying to ignore this dude, too much of a conservative asian group to really tell him to fuck off

Thats... bold. I never get that kind of thing.

You should have told him to fuck off.
