You're ready to learn.
Beating CPUs is a good starting point, because it means you have a grasp of controlling the game and what options your character has.
But it doesn't mean you'll do well against any humans. The CPU will always do the same things, but with humans mental conditioning and mixups are hugely important.

Was randomly given a demo code by a friend's friend who had no one else to give it to. I must say, the game is very smooth and plays very nicely. The only negative statement I can make towards the game itself would probably have to be the seemingly larger blast zones. Takes a bit longer to kill than I would like. The 3DS controls also don't really work too well with this kind of game. Well, it's moreso the circle pad than anything else. (Maybe the L + R buttons...)
However, I think I'm just going to hold off until the Wii U version drops. Seeing how soon it's expected to come will make it a lot easier to wait. That, and fortunately having friends looking to buy the 3DS version when it launches in NA. This game is definitely better than Brawl, and I'm loving every bit of it. <3

Yeah, with the Samus comment, lol
I love the things you're doing. Thanks.
Weird how your quote got messed up like that.
EDIT : Godlike, Joe. Thank you very much for these.

So Samus has Palutena/Mii style customs for her up special? That's cool!
It's your channel?
I've done my own rips, a few of them, but I got all the original Zelda songs (the stock ones, don't know if there is any to unlock): https://www.youtube.com/user/ZeldaDaily/videos
Edit: Also people tend to like the OST very much (not surprising). Like I felt while uploading it first, the new Gerudo Valley is very, very appreciated.
But the grand champion of the OST is the Melee remix ("ver. 2").
not mine, just linking to wherever I can find them.

Thank you for the Samus post! Wow. Love the slow beam and the timed bombs. Side B customs I'll have to play around with before deciding which will be best, but I'm thinking the ones that lock on have most application.
The controls would work if the 3DS wasn't so shitty ergonomically speaking.
Like you can play games that don't utilize the shoulder buttons. But trying to hold it in a way that gives you quick access to all the buttons is hard as fuck.
Hard to say as playing cpus takes a completly different skillset than playing humans

Great stuff JoeInky. A bit disappointed that there isn't an ice beam variation but that's only for small referential needs. From what I see, I'll definitely be spending some time experimenting with Samus.
Looking forward to Dr. Mario

Said it before and I'll say it again,
I really hope Luigi gets the Thunderhand in one of his moves.

What stream is everyone watching? Link please?
This Ness is good. Pretty damn good. Looks aggressive, the way I play Ness, too.

Oh hi Shiek, where you been?

As in "Heathcliff"
JoeInky, thanks so much. Disappointed to hear the bombs still only explode on timer. I think 2333 is the set-up I'll be using. Lock-on missiles, slow beam, shine spark for extra vertical distance, and that power bomb.
While I'm disappointed by the lack of the Ice Beam, these references warm my heart.Up Special 2 (Boost Ball)
A diagonal recovery that hits harder, doing 15% damage.
If you do it grounded, it goes perfectly diagonally, whereas if you do it in the air, it goes more horizontally and ends in a short hop.
Pretty standard customisation, not much to say about it.
Up Special 3 (Shinespark)!!! (don't know if it's called this but it is a bit similar to what a shinespark looks like!)
Samus crouches down and then shoots herself upwards, it's a purely vertical recovery unlike the other two moves and does 11% damage, but it only has a hit box on the initial jump and the end flash, anywhere else will not damage the enemy.
The move combos into itself quite nicely and the second hitbox has great vertical knockback.
Down Special 3 (Power Bomb)
Drops a much bigger bomb that takes about 3 or 4 seconds to explode, and has a larger explosion, it can also be sweetspotted, doing 9% damage and minor knockback at the edge of the explosion and 13% damage with slightly more knockback at the center.
You've got a good 2 seconds of movement before the bomb explodes, so using this effectively will be the key, if you touch the explosion at all you will be put back into morph ball mode and won't be able to attack, so watch out for that (this applies to all morph ball bombs still)
Dammit nooooooooooo. Ughhhh.
