ZeRo is a funny little man
I have a hard time believing that ALL FD mode stages wouldn't be tournament legal.
Hit X on the stage select screen, your cursor should become an Omega symbol.
Sorry I didn't mean to pick that stage lol. And your Shulk is solid.

I buy cakes for myself on my birthday it's not weird lots of people do it I bet
If the icon says "Normal Form", then you're playing Final Destination.
You see, that icon is showing what form will happen when you press X...
I'm really glad Sakurai went with it. Not necessarily because of the competitive aspect, though that is nice. Not because I don't want battlefield versions of all stages. Battlefield versions of all stages would be awesome to have as well!
BUT, if we didn't have For Glory, think how many stages would be super irritating to play? That's almost the only thing I am really disappointed with, in the 3DS version. I'm all for variety, but too many stages have a boss that shows up all the time, a really irritating transform mechanic, and/or they keep scrolling.
I'm glad there is at least a simple version of everything for the music and variety. Better than nothing!

Pro players shouldn't organize tournaments for many many reasons. They usually have insane ideas about what's OP, UP, and should not be allowed.
There are plenty of novices in GAF who spam dash attacks like myself.
Who cares if all the FDs aren't identical, and what's wrong with Yoshi's or Ferox? Transforming stages have been legal in the past. It seems like a good way to make the game boring, but nothing else.
Also, I think it should be 3 stock at least. He's on point with the Pikachu G&W thing though, that needs to be banned.
No one can say Sakurai doesn't support the competitive players when he added a dedicated 1v1 no items mode with Final Destinations versions of every stage. My mind is still spinning from that wonderful bombshell in the April Direct, and I've played 140+ matches in the mode now, lol.
They aren't all the same in what? I don't get it lol, it the same FD layout.

It's a shame that custom moves aren't allowed in For Glory. Just having the Quick Missile would make Luigi worlds better in that mode.
I think he was more trying to appease the people who only wanted to play Brawl's online that way, not actual competitive players. For Glory's rules are a bit too "Fox only, Final Destination, no items" to really be for competitive players. Only being able to play on a totally flat stage really does cause balance issues.

I'm debating retiring my Little Mac, for the safety of my 3DS, until the Wii U version is out. He's got some great tech, which, unfortunately, worries me that it'd kill my circle pad. I already get worried doing roll cancel grabs, and now that this has been discovered, yeah. We Fox now.
On the otherhand...I'd love to try to implement all these kick-ass tricks into play, implemented roll-cancel grabs already made my playtime a lot more fun. But I just don't want it to kill my 3DS, it's too god damn intense.

This made me laugh far more than it should.
Oh my God, that's amazing.
I'd love to use my Bowser with the single-shot fireballs, the claw dash, the rocket jump and the vortex bomb. SO BADASS.
It's an Omega symbol but it turns out to be not FD form.
Normal form makes it FD? The fuck? Misleading but I got it now

As in "Heathcliff"
What is total numbers of Headgears, Outfits, Special Moves and Custom Equipments?
Same for Smash Run items too

FD variants add more strategy on the game. Like Wily's Castle FD can be an advantage to characters like Sheik, Greninja and Falcon. And some have longer platforms than others.
Oh dang I won. I like our fights so far.

I hope the Wii U version will have a separate 1v1 mode with customs. It doesn't even need to track win rates or be super serious but why add all these fun moves if we can only use them against friends?
I had a great string of fights earlier today with a random who knew exactly when to goof around and exactly when to fight. During one of our goofy exchanges (which I think started with me dry-humping his Ganondorf with my Game & Watch), I tried doing a taunt and it didn't respond. I kept trying, but no dice! I later tested this in Training, and it worked fine there, so I'm guessing it wasn't me abusing my system, but rather just some quirk of online play? The matches were perfectly smooth, so I found it odd the taunts didn't respond.

There's a few characters that I'd definitely play online more often (Ganon and Doc) if customs were allowed. I can still play them with friends so it's not that big of a deal but not vs randoms is a bit annoying.
Oh man, this needs to become a running joke with different scenarios mixed in

Exactly. I understand why custom equipment isn't allowed, as they're totally random and often straight up OP, but the custom moves are the same for everyone, and I'm not aware of any over-the-top broken custom moves.
You can only taunt a certain number of times in For Glory, then it'll stop you from taunting.
That;s always been a thing. Just use your 2nd jump to turn. Or use a multi-jumper.

I need some help to gid gud.
I've been maining Lucario and I seem to be ok, but I'm still losing most matches.
Basically, I suck at close range combat and have to resort to abusing my Aura Sphere and Force Palm, which does work a bit due to how ridiculous they are with high aura.
Other than those two I pretty much just use his standard a combo and his side and up tilts.
His smash attacks seem to come out too slow for me to pull off, especially without a c stick.
A big issue for me is when I get launched up, I try to use my down air on the opponent but 75% of the time it comes out too slow and I get juggled until death, or I use it to early and completely miss because it stops all downward momentum
What are Lucario's best aerial options?
Double Team I can't use at all, I just don't have the reaction times to pull it off properly and if I ever use it, it's just randomly popping it out and hoping for the best.

Oh, really? Uh... why?
When I say cursor I'm talking about the actual thing you use to pick your stage, its a red circle and the middle will be an omega symbol after you hit x. When you see "normal" it means you're on omega because its telling you to hit x if you want normal, hence the x next to "normal".
I have no idea. It's annoying when you want to bait someone out and can't taunt until they attack.

I think it a my favorite mode...although I suck so bad at it. It's still fun.
I've been playing a lot more of For Glory matches lately, I think I'm 53-31 so far, which honestly surprises me, as I don't consider myself to be that good, I guess all those hours playing as Mega Man in the demo helped a lot.
30% of my lost matches were against fucking Little Mac ffs

And people shit on me for shitting on him, so damn ridiculous
Thanks for the clarification! Yay no more regular stages!

There have been pro players analyzing the moves and most have agreed that there are trade offs for each one so nothing is blatantly broken. The concern came from one player have moves unlocked whereas another player did not. Thus, giving an unfair advantage.
Locking custom moves behind a grind was a very poor idea.

I must be terrible with Shulk. I got a Game Over for the first time with him on Classic.

Every time a Little Mac side b's off the stage in For Glory mode, an angel character gets confirmed for Smash 5.

I think the problem with FD variants is counterpicks. They're all really similar, but have some differences that are significant enough to make a difference in counterpicks.
