Dat Dark Pit orbitars reflecting charge beam

 

[OminousShadow]

That deflection

 

[Rooligan]

A shame that the Donkey Kong, Metroid, Zelda, Starfox, and Mother franchises were not included in this game. The 3DS appears to be a crossover of Mario, Fire Emblem, Kid Icarus, and the Wii brand.

I'll hold out for the version which has actual content.

 

[Violet_0]

Were they really discussing if Pit was a human?



...Why?

why is Pit so huge, tho?

 

[trixx]

Looks pretty difficult to KO with samus

 

[Fiktion]

That match was hype.

 

[theprodigy]

Dark (color) Meta Knight lol

 

[daripad]

Samus looks awesome, just a little hard to ko people with her

 

[balladofwindfishes]

Oh, they allow this map now!

It was banned last tournament they had.

 

[PadWarrior]

Nobody plays regular Pit anymore

 

[PreyingShark]

No, not this music.

Not this music.

Not this music.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

THAT CAMERAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

THE NIGHTMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARES

 

[balladofwindfishes]

Dark Pit's recovery is bananas. Does Pit recover this well?

[KLatin Scelus]

Is he big? I haven't really noticed the sizes in this game.

 

[Violet_0]

Is he big? I haven't really noticed the sizes in this game.

almost as tall as Samus
I forgot if he was the same in Brawl

 

[ffdgh]

People still think metaknight's side b works like brawl...

 

[theprodigy]

two Meta Knight suicides in that match, this guy is like me lol

 

[PreyingShark]

You only get 2?

Pffft, 3/3 or bust.

 

[theprodigy]

in Project M
that's like 2/4

 

[Violet_0]

Dark Pit's recovery is bananas. Does Pit recover this well?

my impression from the first few tournaments so far is that characters with a good vertical recovery have a pretty big advantage

 

[ffdgh]

Samus...what are you doing?

 

[Revven]

Dark Pit Side B reflects??? Armor and reflection? Wtf

 

[georly]

I can't handle my online lag. It's unplayable for me. I know my connection is a factor and I don't know what to do about it :/

I'm afraid it'll still be this bad for US release

It's like a good 1/4 second lag always, so my blocks/dodges are always way off

 

[PreyingShark]

in Project M
that's like 2/4

I sometimes do worse than that because I'm a professional at edgeguarding.

 

[The Bankslammer]

yo electroshock arm looks fucking awesome

 

[Mr. Fix]

Dark Pit Side B reflects??? Armor and reflection? Wtf

That's awesome!

 

[theprodigy]

Yeah it's pretty funny, playing like Brawl Meta Knight and using down air off-stage=dead

got better at not doing that though lol

 

[TheOGB]

Good... good...

 

[Rooligan]

huh?

Absolutely no Donkey Kong content added.
Loss of character total for Mother and Starfox.
Less blatant for Metroid and Zelda, just lack of new characters.
Wii brand gets four new movesets (3 movesets for Mii).
Mario gets two new movesets and Dr. Mario's return.
Kid Icarus gets two new characters, one of whom was actively hated before and after reveal.
Fire Emblem's two newcomers.

I'm not insane, I'm getting the game, but I'm waiting for the console version.

 

[IntelliHeath]

Every time people complained about Dark Pit. He would power up with moves that have kind of ridiculous effects.

This explains Rosalina too /s

 

[Mr. Smiley]

Good... good...

---

Interest in Dark Pit rising.

 

[Wreck-It Ralph]

Does regular Pit's side B reflect? I know it did in Brawl, but that was a completely different move.

 

[zroid]

So is Pit the Pichu of Dark Pit?

 

[ffdgh]

This explains Rosalina too /s

One is alright. The other's fanbase is unbearable at times. /s

 

[Moonlight]

Bouncing Fish looks so legit.

 

[KLatin Scelus]

The lack of character variety really rustles my jimmies.

Where's Ike? Wario? Kirby?

On the bright side, we have the most athletic characters duking it out now.

Those "issues" persist in both versions of the game. It's weird to single out the 3DS.

How good are the ice climbers in this game? Im watching some brawl tourneys and they seem to be pretty beasty against meta knight.

They sound good in villager's jp crowd cheer I guess.

 

[PadWarrior]

No Greninja yet?

 

[DaBoss]

GO SHEIK!

Good come back from that early stock loss.

 

[Moonlight]

Sheik is so damn awesome.

 

[johnsavage]

That was a good match.

 

[ffdgh]

Anything to prevent another ZSS from winning again...

 

[theprodigy]

You would say that, probably got salty about losing to Azure J in MK8

 

[TWILT]

Lets go Sheik!

 

[Watch Da Birdie]

No one hated Dark Pit before he was revealed to be in Smash, did they?

In fact, I remember lots of people liking the character, and in Japan I believed he scored highly in magazine polls. So, by the logic that Sakurai should work to appeal to the largest amount of fans, the inclusion of Dark Pit is totally listening to the fans.

I think it's only a shame he's not more different from Pit though.

not quite Snake god-tier

 

[tirkaroKujo]

Goddamn do I love SSB4 Sheik.
Makin' this game look like damn melee here.
