Super Smash Bros. for 3DS & Wii U DLC |OT2| Lucas comes out of Nowhere!

Cool! Set up a room and I'll be right there.
Edit: wow you brought that game back. I choked so hard for some reason..
I'm trying to decide what I should do next, should I pick up a new character or should I work on improving my Pikachu. At one point my Pika was kinda decent, but I haven't used him in so long that he's probably my worst character now.
I'm not having fun with him since I do so poorly, so I'm thinking of picking up someone else instead but I have no idea who. I already have 7 other characters that I'm decent with so maybe I shouldn't be spread myself out so much. Anyone have any suggestions?
For reference, I currently use:
Zelda
Marth
Samus
Zero Suit Samus
Roy
Ike
Mario
Pikachu
I kinda want to pick a character that's out of my comfort zone

Kirby has an extremely good matchup against Shiek.

I have actually tried out Falcon a couple times and I just don't like the way he plays. I've never really enjoyed playing him in any of the games.

Give Sonic a try. (￣ー￣
Most people say he's pretty good and definitely better than Marth thanks to having a much better throw and actual combos. The sweetspot for his sword is alot easier to land than Marth's and it's almost as powerful.
Marth vs Roy I think is pretty even. Roy beats Marth on the ground, but in air and especially off-stage Marth can really mess him up.
Give Sonic a try. (￣ー￣

I remember that and that's specifically why I suggested him, and not just because I end up suggesting everyone to play Falcon anyway. Otheriwse I would have suggested something like Duck Hunt, or Bowser.
Out of your comfort zone? How about:
Bowser Jr.
Ganondorf
Pac-Man
Megaman
Duck Hunt
Peach
ROB
ooooh Peach is a good one. I actually thought about learning her very early on, but for whatever reason I went with Marth instead.
I think I'm not really fit for competitive play, because I keep getting tired of characters after a while once I need to really delve into their higher-level stuff to get any better. This happened to me with Sonic, then Luigi, and now I'm kind of tired of Pac-Man as well. It might be a good idea to take a short break and do other stuff for a while...
On related news, I learned that there was a large Sm4sh tourney in my city last Saturday. Oh well, maybe next time.

I'm up for some games!
Peach is great, and has a lot of untaoped potential
Sorry to hear that, but it might work out better maybe.
Alright, hosting hopefully it's not too laggy
Sorry forgot about the items from yesterday,
And damn it's pretty laggy
Alright, let me know
Alright I'm back.
I think it's good to take breaks when your first starting to get into competitive play. I started hating Zelda for a while which is why I switched to Marth, and then I kinda hated Marth so I just stopped playing the game for a few weeks. I came back to it super refreshed and playing a lot better than before.
I've been taking regular short breaks from the game just to be sure I don't get too frustrated, and generally when I come back to the game I'm playing a little better than before.

I forgot to ask, but since evo is now over, whats the general consensus(?) on Customs?
Im still ok with them.

Most people are still against them as far as I can tell.

Big discussions about them in all three threads.

At least in our community the majority is against them, though I think we could hold off on banning them until the end of the year, to see if any potential new patch balances some of the problem moves :O

Fuck that stage, Nabbit is a bitch and the annoying transformations can fuck with recovery along with certain hazards being unpredictable.
I like them. It's true that there're several that are so much of an upgrade that it makes choosing other customs downright stupid, but there're several others that help characters be slightly better without warping their game around their abuseable customs. For example, Ganon or Pac get some interesting options to change up their game but not to the level of Kong Cyclone or even Dash Slash.
I'd rather keep playing with customs by default, but I guess I wouldn't hate it if matches were custom-less by default and we could just say "looking for some customs games" instead, either.
Agree with Boney on the Mario stage. It's really fun without being overly crazy, IMO. Definitely one of the better banned stages.

I would not mind customs being banned if they added the exception to change mii fighters as weird as that sounds....also that size debate is another issue. (Tiny swordsman is best swordsman imo)
Been playing alot of Mii gunner lately.

I'm in support of Mushroom Kingdom U, the only real problem is those dumb icicles that fall out of the ceiling, Nabbit is a nonissue unless you're paying zero attention to anything.
Fuck Stadium 2 though.
To that spike in halberd
Still falco seems like a ridiculous match up for olimar
Stadium two I can understand the hate, as it's weird to play in but there's nothing disastrous about it. Same as Mario kart 8 love that one

Just jokin around honey pieIf it weren't for that smiley I'd say something
You person
Well the icicles to get the water drop first. (Is this English?) lmao I meant for the Ickes to drop, the water drops fall first.

Nabbit can be a problem at times since it can be used to extend your hitboxes, but I guess you could say "then don't get near Nabbit when Wario has a full fart ready".

Is there a list of the most "broken" custom moves? Or rather, the ones that are acting to the detriment of allowing customs in tournaments? iirc Pikachu, Fox and Donkey Kong have had ones I've heard of, but I haven't experimented with customs a whole lot outside of Pac-Man and Ganondorf.

Guessing he means his Gamepad charger that he ordered, if so, congrats!
Off the top of my head, the ones that are seen as truly broken so far are
- Villager: trip sapling, explosive balloon trip
- DK: Kong Cyclone
- Sonic: Hammer spin dash
- Pikachu: Thunder wave, Heavy skull bash
The rest can be a bit centralizing (like Bowser's Dash Claw), but I don't thing they're broken per se. there're a couple that make strong characters stronger in many match-ups, though
- Fox: Stun laser and Spinning fox
- Rosalina: Fast star bit
- Luigi: Ice ball
- Sheik: Penetrating needles (I think)
That mother daaaamn
Stage got crazy
Stage got crazy
The ones that are completely broken in my opinion are villager's trip sapling, sonic Spindash hammer and Pikachu thunder wave (plus skullbash)

Its the GC controller adapter NO MORE MISONPUTS FROM ME.
Will be up for games on the Wii U version later when I come back.
GC controller is lighter than I remembered, been a while since I used it for anything, even longer since I last played a smash game with it.
Oh.
What's the big deal with Ice Ball?
Agreed on the rest.
It makes some match-ups even worse for characters such as Bowser, wouldn't you agree? Still, it isn't an OP projectile by any means, but it can be really infuriating in particular match-ups.

Wasn't Fandango the one who ordered a GC adapter or am I off?
