Which is really surprising, considering the amount of maturity shown in these posts. You'd think the conversation would be going much more smoothly.

It may have been the standard in Melee, but welcome to the new age.
I don't think it's coincidence that For Glory is 5m 2 stocks. It's the first time Smash officially recognize the competitive community and as such, this is the official Nintendo-approved standard for Smash 4.

ahhh, there's always one, isn't there? Not familiar with Smash threads, I'll treat him as he deserves from here on out, thanks.
This guy. He gets it.
I actually think it is just the blast zones that are primarily at fault here. I get why the ledge mechanics exist, because they encourage you to go off the stage to intercept someone coming back rather than edge-hogging or gimping, and when it works, it looks really cool. The problem is that the blast zones make it really damn hard for the person being 'intercepted' to actually die. Like, that Sheik vs DHD match was a perfect example. That Sheik went in deep so many times, and played perfectly, yet DHD just kept floating back because the blast zone was so forgiving. Ledge stealing with smaller blast zones would have been the best compromise. Having ledge stealing and large blast zones is just silly.

tbh I found the 8 minute timer way too long, I dunno why they carried it over from Melee to Brawl

I'm cool with that. I say give the game more time about figuring out set ups for more reliable, early kills.
I'm not sure who I was watching yesterday, but someone speculated the meta might shift to bulkier characters for those early kills. I'm actually really excited to see where the game goes.

Agreed. 5 or 6 should be enough for 2 stocks.

Wait, why is kills taking longer a problem if default stock is lower?

Charizard as relevant in Smash as he is in Pokemon

Because it forces you to make the default stock lower (???)
Exactly, it just becomes a war of attrition. Trading hits and waiting to see if the game decides they've had enough. You can make plays, reads and setups, but nothing you do is a decisive moment in the match. Going for deep edgeguards is pointless since most characters and safely float to the ledge or stage from practically any point on the screen.

He needs a mega stone to be good but items are banned in competitive Smash :lol

Because it makes the match less fun to watch, as the opponent recovers over and over.

Because muh Melee.
Seriously, I'm not sure. Some have said it's boring to watch or it doesn't promote smart play, etc.
People don't apparently like to watch high percentage damage gameplay

So, the only boss in the 3ds game (with that HP mechanic and everything, not just a background hazard that happens to be a character) is the Yellow Devil in the Megaman stage, right?
I wonder if there were second thoughts about the mechanic or if it's something that will be Wii U focused... They never said anything about the bosses being limited or mainly in one of the versions of the game.

They are functionally identical

Lucina having more knockback in general makes her the superior character since tipper's cannot be controlled. Her Fsmash's knockback (regardless of where you hit with it ) is pretty strong.

b-but charizard need em D:
Huh, guess so. I always thought the point of swiss was that it would sort out a bunch of entrants into skill levels pretty quickly. After a couple of rounds I'd expect 12 people to pretty much be ready for bracket. Guess I should look into it more closely.

Yeah, it's weird. I think people just need to adjust to it. Give it a few months and you won't hear people complaining about it anymore.

if you're not holding a Mega Stone, you holding that L

Right? Dudes even said games are taking longer because they don't know proper combos and kill thresholds. It's only going to get better.

Either that or because it's a neutral stage that isn't final destination.

Holy shit Bowser Jr looks like such a fun zoning/trap kind of character
