I don't understand taunting at the start. I had an Ike do that one and when I rushed him down and nearly no-damage KOed him, he rage quit.
If he's getting almost killed from giving up one opening in this game, he's doing something wrong. 0_o
I'da quit too. Respect the opening taunt. It's like shaking hands before a match.
Nah. Maybe-getting-hit is part of what you accept along with the taunt. You're saying "Yeah, I don't care". It can be because you're not worried about winning, or because you're arrogant and plan to win regardless. Either way is perfectly appropriate. ^.^

I main Robin, so taunting at any point is out of the question. But if I didn't main him, i'd Taunt a bad opponent to rile them up. Angry players make cranky plays.

Eh, I'll always try to sneak in a 'it's time to tip the scales' when I'm playing online, especially if I'm on a losing streak.

rarely works out though :x
 
I taunt after a kill. But only a sexy kill. If I'm struggling and the kill was just by some fsmash or whatever, I'll just get back to charging my standard projectile.

<<--- Is still supremely bitter that male Robin says "Let's Tip The Scales"

In fact, Male Robin's taunts just suck. "Let's tip the scales?" "You're not ready yet?"

I actually don't know why Male!Robin doesn't have 'it's time to tip the scales' given it was his big quote in the reveal. :lol

Fem!Robin's way more colourful in general. Sass is off the charts.

But Kirby has Hiiiiiiiiiiii. The actual best taunt.

Dedede is better off just holding crouch, rather than doing it repeatedly.

yup, just look at that sexy piece of charm

also you can do left and right angled crouch, looks even funnier to turn around in smexy pose

Been spending some time trying to mess around with Robin's Elwind spike and trying to get more consistent with it. The sweetspot's still a little uncomfortable for me, but it's a little more favourable than most of the other meteors I've tried in this game, Robin's d-air particularly. I need to up my edgeguard game majorly.

I'm so pissed right now I just had a few matches with a Lucario that would roll everywhere I mean it was terrible. I could not punish anything of his.I also ran into a Kirby that I could not touch as Shulk.is there something I'm missing or a rolling just that OP.Oh and can anyone give me tips on how to play Shulk against Kirby. I try to grab after successfully blocking the dash attack but it never works.

If it's my opponents last stock I usually jump off the stage and rest after I finish him. Sometimes if I have two stocks left I will hit them with rest because why not?

Man, I just discovered how fun it is to dash dance (if that's what it's called?) with Little Mac. I don't really know if there are any uses for it, because in order to perform it I gotta hold the 3DS in a weird position (and probably risk breaking my joystick), but it'll be really fun to pull of on a GC controller.

Rolling is definitely OP in this game. Try to use multi-hit attacks and attacks with an extended hit duration to punish rolls and dodges. Also try to to anticipate the roll and keep dashing past them as they roll, then punish with a grab or dash attack.

I dunno about OP, but until you spot an opponent's pattern it can be annoying: after that though, it's punishment city until they learn to stop :p
In addition to the above tips, if the opponent tries to roll past you then you can usually punish easily enough on most characters with a well-timed down-smash :3

Tried Rosalina in For Glory for the hell of it. And I suck at using her. I much prefer the Bowser playstyle. Rosalina is too much management for me.
