They delayed Tournament Mode for what? 7 months? You'd think in that time they'd have figured out that people want to make ACTUAL TOURNAMENTS and not this Mario Kart 8 nonsense. gg Nintendo

 

[J@hranimo]

Warp fail!

 

[Captain Rage Quit 69]

I'll be honest, I don't think I've ever watched Trela play. Something I gotta do later if I wanna rep Black Knight at tourneys. :O

 

[Fandangox]

Not nearly as bad for you as for Jiggs.

First time picking Sheik ever. lol Stupid character.

Gonna try the Sheik myself.

 

[NamikazeBurst]

That was fun, but no way is that stage going to be legal.

 

[TWILT]

Omg Robin's DThrow can kill combo into UAir She recovers a lot faster from ArcThunder too, giving her a lot more options out of it.

Gonna test Link and Pikachu in a bit; heard Link got a bit better and Pika was unchanged, so I'm pretty happy at least. Kinda hard to test stuff on the 3DS when you're so used to a good controller lol. Guessing no customs got changed either...?

 

[Shamrock7r]

I think it could work as a counterpick

 

[Anonymous Tipster]

I shall host

You guys wanna do teams?

This tourny shit is bumming me out

 

[J@hranimo]

Hmm that bumper idk. Probably banned tbh.

Was that a counter CRQ?

 

[Captain Rage Quit 69]

Damn, the edgeguards tho. Chrom getting his chance today!

I think I countered your reflector, Mii swordman has deceptive range.

Custom Thunder Wave got nerfed for Pika, that's about it.

If someone could indulge me - Are we able to set up our own tournaments for friends/gaffers to battle for supremacy in?

 

[Fandangox]

Okay new game. Fox on one corner, Mewtwo on the other. Mewtwo charges the shadowball and fox reflects it with the shine, keep a high score and see how many times you can reflect it before it hits you.

 

[NamikazeBurst]

Maybe without the bumper it could.

I am fine with this.

 

[Vylash]

so did someone set up a gaf tourney?

 

[Captain Rage Quit 69]

Last match, J@hranimo!

 

[Crayolan]

You could, but don't expect anyone to join. You can't force 1v1s.

Those should be free wins for me. I don't understand.

 

[Fandangox]

lag + plus shine doesn't have to be timed?

 

[NamikazeBurst]

Forgot to turn off items again.

 

[Anonymous Tipster]

Is Shamrock cool with 2v2?

And for that matter is there someone else who wants to?

 

[J@hranimo]

Last match, J@hranimo!

GGs. Ah Swordfighter is a threat! Definitely keeping that in mind. Also good to see someone else using the Doc.

 

[Captain Rage Quit 69]

GGs J@hranimo! Had a lot of fun with my costumed swordsmen, and you did pretty well with your Palutena! I could feel the buffs as you hit me. >.<

I think both 64 stages are gonna be banned in the end.

You guys always start these too late for me nowadays, be considerate to the midwest! I don't know how Namikaze does it...

 

[Karsticles]

No, I must be mismanaging the charge. :/

Yea but I don't know if Name is down and we need 1 more

 

[Bulbasaur]

Really?? 1 vs 1s are great

 

[NamikazeBurst]

2 a.m. isn't late. You were up a lot later yesterday.

 

[Anonymous Tipster]

Nami is down

One more then!

 

[Fandangox]

No, I must be mismanaging the charge. :/

If you want we can actually try to do the "Game" and see what happened.

 

[Crayolan]

Really?? 1 vs 1s are great

I mean the game will not allow you to make 1v1 tournaments.

 

[J@hranimo]

Oh man....for those who are wondering, when uploading to YouTube it definitely processes it in 30fps like MK8. Should've expected it.

 

[Captain Rage Quit 69]

2 a.m. isn't late. You were up a lot later yesterday.

Yeah but I wasn't playing that late. These things matter. :T Plus I'm trying to be not so much of a night owl to get prepped for the return of 8 am classes. =__=

Don't question it

 

[Snacks the sober sea lion]

Fox can't jab jab up tilt anymore? That sounds awful.

 

[NamikazeBurst]

We need 1 more for doubles.

 

[Karsticles]

You got your Shuriken buff.

 

[Anonymous Tipster]

No one else interested in doubles?

 

[Masked Man]

Karst, you got Mewtwo buffs!

 

[Fandangox]

I did not deserve that win lol

 

[Karsticles]

Karst, you got Mewtwo buffs!

Completely shit ones that don't address any of his problems.

3% more damage on his worst throw?
Slightly more KBG on his worst smash attack?
1 frame off the tilt you never use outside of pivots?

Ugh.

 

[Snacks the sober sea lion]

You got your Shuriken buff.

Yeah, cuz I'm always right.

Spoiler

>:|

 

[ffdgh]

You got your Shuriken buff.

And I'm loving it. <3
Also Kirby's new fthrow buff is hilarious. Fthrow>Dair>footstool is surprisingly effective at the edge.

 

[NamikazeBurst]

GGs Shamrock. I can't handle anymore of that right now.

 

[Shamrock7r]

GGs Shamrock. I can't handle anymore of that right now.

GGs. You changed up your strategy. Got a lot more shield happy. Took me awhile to adjust.

What do you recommend I do against Lucas as Yoshi? The PK Fire barrage and zair just wall me out, and your ground and aerials that you use are really hard or not possible to punish. I seem to better again Ness even though one PK Fire can be death or 50%+.

Change up your approaches. You gotta remember to change it up against people you play often. For example, I picked your trick of falling to the ground moving away from me, and then suddenly moving towards me to get me with your tongue. By the time I was playing as Lucas, I spaced accordingly and hit you with pkfire multiple times anticipating it. At the same time, I think approaching from above is your best option because, as you pointed out, Lucas' combination of PK Fire and zair works well against Yoshi. Maybe do some follow ups with Eggs high up more often. Remember also if you see me do a grounded pk fire, you have an opportunity to punish the delay.

 

[Karsticles]

We just recreated the teleport moment from Mewtwo's reveal trailer.

I was trying to approach with SHAD, but I either messed up by doing a full hop, or I didn't end up air dodging. But yeah, I do use the B-reverse Egg Lay a lot, but I tried to do it less against Lucas because of PK Fire or a bat.

By eggs high up, do you mean eggs that go mostly vertical and stay in the air for a while?

I tried to shield the grounded PK Fire and then dash attack or grab, but you seemed to get away every time. I know I shouldn't go for Yoshi's grab so much.

Hopefully I can get some different results against Lucas the next time we play.

I actually saved a replay of the last match. I will use it as an example upload because it was 2:59 minutes, haha. We can take a look at it again and see.

 

[PK Gaming]

Robin is more or less the same character

It's okay child, no more tears. It's going to be alright. Everything is going to be alright.

Alright. I think that was the worst one on my end.
