Clobberskull isn't an instant kill enemy (just super strong), and the other 2 are meant to get you to do stuff like dodge or utilize the space..that guy in the purple haze, the big ogre smashing guy, and tempura wizard. Sorry, I don't know their names haha

Really? How old are you?
Multiplayer, getting high scores/upping the intensity on additional playthroughs, and (spoiler for something after you beat the game)
boss rush mode
3D max at all times, no matter the intensity and in multiplayer.

You quoted him and didn't spoiler tag his post either, you're just as bad.

Anyone else get a slight Subspace Emissary vibe when playing the campaign? It helps even more so that the first stage you explore in that mode was Skyworld. Hell even some of the enemies(the new original ones) look like they came from that game.

Holy shit, I just noticed that the Underworld Gatekeeper has the triforce symbol.
The star of Subspace Emissary was Sonic because he shows up right at the end to save the day.
And then since that is the first time you get to play as him, promptly wiped out by Tabuu while you figure out how to control him and you have to use your next character.
They do look like SSE enemies. I like them more here though, in Brawl I would've preferred that they took enemies from other series.
The story is way better than SSE though, Sakurai should just do a story mode for Brawl that is like this, but shorter than SSE. Then I might actually replay it. After playing this I don't think he needs a dedicated writer for the story, just make one that blends seriousness with silliness like Uprising.
The whole idea is risk/reward. If you could just throw your body at it until you managed to beat everything on 9.0, even if it meant just killing one enemy at a time and then dying, what would be the point?1. Difficulty level getting turned down a notch after dying. This is especially annoying with OHKO enemies and those dumb sections where you can fall off platforms. I should have a choice as to whether or not I want the difficulty turned down a notch. If they wanted to keep the balance of obtaining hearts, then they can still deduct hearts if I choose to not drop down a difficulty level-- just deduct less hearts for doing so. This really irritated me on Chapter 9, where I was kicking butt but I kept on dying from (enemy spoilers I guess?).that guy in the purple haze, the big ogre smashing guy, and tempura wizard. Sorry, I don't know their names haha
You can individually adjust (and even mute) OST, SFX, and VA.

I was thinking about this recently, like these two could do running commentary in an Uprising like manner when they aren't being played disembodied voice style.

How many foes you have felled. (It's a kill counter of other players you've defeated.)
Along with trying out weapons in the shop/fusing menu, another thing I would've liked/would like to see in a potential sequel:
A bank for items that you want to make sure you don't fuse/don't want to show up on your fusing screen. It would make fusing/your inventory more organized and make sure you don't accidentally fuse a weapon you don't want to.

That's a good idea.
Something i'd like to see in a sequel is a more organized category section. When fusing weapons, I like looking for a certain type of weapon so I use the category option. Well what sucks about it is how there's groups of each weapon spread out everywhere. I'd like to be able to go into the fuse weapon screen and see nothing but palms or nothing but clubs.
The guy who posted the guide before said there were a few weird quirks like that.

Opinions requested.
It's lacking in the stars, but those traits are almost godly for the way I play. For now, it's my go-to weapon for online. The range on its charged shot is ridiculous (125 meters), and having it home in on enemies across the map is hilarious. I'm considering fusing it to get a good Palm, but I've yet to see a result that I wanted. Getting the best traits to transfer onto something with a high ranged value is difficult.
What would be some good powers to use with this club? I'm currently rolling with Explosive Flame, Meteor Shower, Lightweight, Counter, and Shake Attack (needed something to fill in the hole). In Free-for-All, I love to target clumps of enemies and make quick work of them, but I have trouble dealing with fast melee attacks, especially Claws. Is there a power out there that could handle them, or do I just need to get better at the game?

I have a question regarding bosses in general in that I feel like there are some that have attacks that are impossible to dodge. For instance:
I'm using a Dark Pit Staff, if that helps.
I just fought the mech suit (in chapter 23?) and there was a rushing attack that, as far as I'm concerned, is unavoidable. It comes in so suddenly and so quickly that a regular dash left or right is insufficient to avoiding it. What am I missing? There are other instances of this that I can't quite recall.

Now there is no doubt, this is the 3DS GOTY.

I would be very afraid to get close to you with that.
So, by using Heart Booster level 4 (5 uses) and Heart Bonus +1, I'm able to get 20,000 hearts from level one difficulty 9.0.
Doing basically the same thing with Heart Bonus +3 has yielded 26,000 hearts. I imagine with Heart Bonus +4 (if it exists, I don't think I've really seen it yet) I would be able to get 30,000 hearts just on that level.
Also just got the

Been obsessed with clearing the early levels on the highest difficulty and it pays off when you get those nice weapons with good abilities. It makes flying such a breeze. I especially like the cannon like weapon being able to instant kill enemies with one hit in flight mode, but terrible with tall bosses (due to reach).
The addictive nature of replaying levels makes it difficult for me to continue story mode

I am wondering has anyone bothered to do the no-hit achievement on one of the chapters? It feels like crazy! I ended up using the 3d less when im being competitive as I find it more distracting due to the fact that my eyes lose focus easily if stressed.

I don't recall exactly, but the heavy lean towards trial and error encounter design, particularly in understanding and adapting to enemy attacks, is one area I've never agreed on with Sakurai's work. It was very common with Brawl's campaign enemy desire and it's the same here. Some might like it, but I feel he has a lot to learn in those areas.
Though in many ways I guess it's reminiscent of the wild, reckless battles going way back to Kirby.
I found dashing toward the enemy to be helpful in situations like those.
I'm pretty sure I've dodged the attack you're referring to.
Is it the one where it covers itself in an aura and suddenly charges
I've done my part.
Thoughts?
Stars seem ok(though are claws more useful in melee?). Perks are kinda situational though. Top two are pretty useful, but the rest...do you often abuse powers and items during play?
I'm mostly thinking in terms of campaign I think, to which I would be apprehensive. In MP though, maybe this could be great?

I would say this is as good an indication as any that that's going to carry over into the new Smash games.

Got my copy today. Very fun and the music and dialog is also great. But the controls will take some getting used to. Any suggestions on control changes?
I think down on the d-pad. I've accidentally done it a few times and was surprised myself.

I would personally prefer better numbers on the abilities (higher than 1 plus) as I have noticed that they make a big difference opposed to just strong power. The 3 + paralysis is nice though!
Press L, A, or some other button during a cutscene.

A, B, or Y all seemed to do the trick for me. It's a neat feature, but it seems pretty useless.
Thanks anyway.

I hope so. The fourth wall breaking and self awareness of Uprising is what expected from Brawl. It was such a missed opportunity. An orchestra of franchises at their disposal, yet far too little use of the IPs themselves.

Super Armor, maybe? Throw that on when a Claw gets up close. You'll still take some damage from his hits, but he won't interrupt your swings.
Play through Solo chapters. The higher the difficulty, the more eggs per playthrough.
