Is it annoying to say that I like the look of Bowser Jr. because he reminds me of Tron Bonne?
You guys are being ridiculous.
Aren't they of different sizes?

Person playing a Japanese made game in Japanese calls Japanese characters 'moon runes' in 2014.

this video pk posted some use of shield and buster
it seems a good strategy for shulk is to rack up damage with buster and keep constant pressure and use smash as a finish
shield seems to be good for those situations where u are likely to get knocked off and jump caan be used like an extra recovery
speed i guess is just speed lol at least from my observations
It's more that overusing one throw over and over staled it

1) I'm here to tide myself over for the US demo
2) I wasn't aware "moon runes" was offensive! In any case it was a joke!
Only one more custom for Megaman left and I know which one it is because it was a in a PoTD.
His customs are pretty cool in terms of references, I think there are one or two that are straight up better than his default ones though so he may have a chance to be a better character.

Please tell me his Leaf Shield alts are better than the Leaf Shield. Because fuuuuuuuuuuu
Tournament players having a tournament.
Oh you guys are watching the Smash 4 tourney too? Palutena went from top 5 to top 2 characters I had to play in this game after I saw her on stage movement. So crisp.
I just hope the custom moves allow for some fun stuff. I'm definitely a more aggressive player and like when my characters work in that direction. Aegis Reflector setups look great but I still want to go in and apply divine fist to mortal face.

I'm completely new in the world of smash. Tournament players are guys who play tournaments for money or something?
Nah not for money all the time. For fun or glory occasionally.

This is mostly just for shits and giggles because the game is a day old.

As in "Heathcliff"
Not really since their archetype is pretty much similar. Duck and Dog and Banjo Kazookie don't really share that much comparing to Bowser Jr. and Tron Bonne. .
Okay, I see. And yeah, I reckoned this tourney is mostly also to show us peasants what the game looks like. These lads probably won't have had that much time with it themselves.

Lucina seems really good. Like better than Marth good.

All this talk about it being too hard to kill...
After six hours, I think I got Mario in the demo down.
I effectively know how to use his tilts, his Up Tilt is fantastic for aerial launches, and how to effectively use his Side B. A quick cape swipe and a forward tilt to knock them off stage and deliver a few back airs.
I kicked Lv9 ass with this. His back air are solid and can do around 3 before falling totally, and his Up Tilt is great.
I had a fun match where I side B against Villager, knocked her off, delivered three Side B's in rapid succession and got a great KO and survived.
You guys learned much from the demo?

It's not that he's bad, but it seems that there are other characters that outclass him as long range fighters.
After a day playing the demo, I think Megaman is great in his own way. He doesn't have attacks that can change the tide of a battle like Ike, Captain Falcon, Donkey Kong or Samus do, and he is cornered easily. His long range attacks are annoying and disrupting, his air game is great, his Smash attacks are solid, his dash attack is good, down tilt is fast and leads to followups, up tilt is an amazing punisher... His glaring weakness is that he is cornered easily and characters with reflectors can own him since his moveset relies too much in projectiles.
Her Usmash is scary looking. The reason Marth's Usmash has, traditionally, been so bad is because the only instance you can use it in is when someone is directly above you (so you can get the tip, the non-tip part has always been bad). Lucina completely defies that and can use it on people that are on the ground like... right next to her and it has good knockback. Jesus lord almighty Lucina chill!

You sound so technical Sah. I won't be playing you.
Though a villager vs. villager match should happen some time.

Megaman's SRK is amazing.

Hey, is Palutena's Japanese VA the same as Robin's from One Piece? Because that's exactly what it sounds like to me.
I've learned mario's meteor smash is much easier to land here than in brawl, up tilt is awesone, and down smash is stronger. Link can finally recover and his side tilt, dash attack and side smash are so much better.

This stream is kind of making me want to go to Chipolte
I probably won't use Mario in the full game, despite me playing him terrifically.
We have to play Linius! I've known you too long to pass up Smash with!
@Revven, you're thinking too much in the Melee mindset regarding Marth's up smash. Brawl Marth's up smash was quite ridiculous too since it has a nice launch value and a vacuum effect when opponents are near. Of course the tipper on that one was bat shit. :lol
All that said, holy fuck Lucina chill. Also, I wish I could play the full roster/stage list badly now.

Villager is easily my favorite character from the demo. Lloid rocket is insane once you got it down (covers so much space, good speed, great knockback), and can be combined for dair and slingshots as an approach OR just for general stage control. And I love baiting Mario to cape it just so I can pocket it. And turnips are pretty decent edge guarding tools and can even beat out air dodges.
It bothers me that Villager can pocket so many of MM normals
And mario can reflect most of them and link can simply stand still for his shield to block them...
Duck and Dog and Banjo-Kazooie share the same archtype of a mammal and bird fighting together. I'm not saying DHD plays anything like Banjo-Kazooie would. I've played the B-K series and I've seen footage of DHD in Smash and they are nothing alike aside from said concept. However, I latched onto DHD because it reminded me ever so slightly of another duo that I remember fondly. I'm sorry, but saying that I can't like a character because of that is ridiculous and seems elitist to me. Should I have acted like a jerk to people who made Blackheart comparisons to Dormammu when he was announced for MvC3? No, they found something that reminded them of another character they liked, and latched on to it. If I was a longtime Dormammu fan, I should be happy for those people that they now like the character rather than calling them annoying for comparing him to Blackheart. (I didn't actually know who Dormammu was prior to MvC3 but you get the idea)

The thing that grates me about Mega Man is that so many of his moves do the same thing. Why would I use Metal Blades or Crash Bombs when I can just do a forward smash and it serve the same purpose and do more damage, even uncharged.
Mega Buster while faster is still the same trajectory does okay damage for what it is but has almost no hitstun.
Up and Down tilt are great moves but are easily punishable and that's not so hot when those are your only non projectile ground moves.
Rush is a pretty meh recovery. It is awesome at escaping certain attacks though.
Dair is a good spike but it lacks the range of say Mario's or ease of use like Link's.
Nair is completely useless when having the options of Fair or Bair.
Fair and Bair are pretty good though but are really similar. Fair racks up damage and Bair is a good Kill move. Uair is pretty good but I feel the tornado is too small.
Is Mega Man garbage? Heck no, but I wouldn't say he's great either. I think he has to work harder to get wins so naturally I think people are going to consider him not too great. I get that he is supposed to be a ranged fighter but most of the time you need to get in there and get those kills. Mega Man is best in Free for Alls when he can sit back and spam Fsmash. One on one is a definite problem. So many characters have a reflect now a days that it really hurts Mega Mans options. I'll still play him no doubt though as I will all the characters. Except Mii's. Fuck them.
