The 3DS roster screen looks completely full now with everyone.
Can't see any new reps unless they shrink down the icons.

Super Smash Bros. for 3DS & Wii U DLC |OT2| Lucas comes out of Nowhere!
- Thread starter IntelliHeath
- Start date
The 3DS version has an icon for a second page of characters. It was found alongside the icon for a second page of stages.
Been playing a ton of For Fun Team Smash and 1 on 1 For Glory to beef up my Ryu. He's a a lot of fun to use, but very difficult to master. Aside form the EX Fireball, I find myself sticking to using the Smash inputs for all his special moves with the occasional True Shoryuken if I'm feeling confident.
Still getting used to switching between weak and strong attacks since I'm terrible at it.

Oh I forgot about that icon. But I like having the entire screen full of characters even if I use like 7.

Kind of dumb seeing people playing Ryu like any other character with run and shield. Just walking is basically the best thing to do with Ryu, I think.
Is anyone available to play?

Looked into the updated patch notes and I'm really happy about the changes to Marth, Zelda and Ike. I'll probably stick with Roy as my main for now, but those 3 characters are probably gonna be a bit more fun to play.
But I'm still baffled by the changes to Diddy. The last patch was perfect for him, still very strong but didn't feel broken. Now he's so much worse and it wasn't needed.

Then I'll make a room if there isn't one already.
And still ridiculous that somebody saw fit to nerf Diddy again but Sheik gets to keep her insane needles.

I think Sakurai won't ever nerf Sheik.

Wow, unwinnable matchup.

Wow, Yoshi is so much better against Lucas than he is against Ness.
Needles make no sense to me. They're:
- Fast
- Hard to see
- Short several at a time (so one of them clashes against stuff, and the rest get through)
I honestly would make it more like in Melee, where Sheik couldn't keep the charge like with Samus's beam, but rather had to charge the needles in place and throw them all right then and there, rather than being able to walk around with a full charge. Maybe they could give her a shield or roll cancel to get out of them unlike Melee.

I'd only start saying that after going through Shamrock's Lucas if I were you, he seems like the guy with the most competitive background with the blondie.

Well, I don't know. Compared to Roy and Ryu, Lucas got utterly shafted. His moves have no priority and his grab is worse than Yoshi's.
NamikazeBurst

I am sure if I compare my Yoshi vs. his Ness and Lucas, his Ness would be better.
Puruzi's also plays a terrifying Lucas, I'd say.
Still, I guess it makes sense when Ness has a long-lasting disjointed aerial in fair, whereas Lucas' only lasting aerial is nair, and that doesn't give him any disjointed hitboxes he can use to stuff incoming aerials with relative impunity.

Lucas has good combos at early percents and a lot of tools. His off-stage is pretty bananas too. But he has a really bad disadvantage state, it seems. It feels like they tried too hard to make him a modest character, but didn't spare anything when it came to Roy. And Ryu just has a lot of potential.

GGs. I should start studying for my exams now.
Lucas' grab is in no way worse than Yoshi's. Lucas can tether, use it in the air as a spacing tool, and he has follow ups at low % and potential kill set-ups at high %. Are you talking in terms of start/end lag?
Yoshi being better against Lucas than Ness shouldn't come as a surprise. I haven't had much experience against Lucas, but it seems almost everything hits him out of his up-B. This is much better for Yoshi as I won't be very afraid of going off-stage. Against Shamrock I almost never go off-stage because I tend to get hit with the PK T2, which is much scarier than Lucas'.

As an actual grab, I'd say only Villager's is worse.
But what about Pac-Man's? I know it lasts quite a while, but it's so slow I only use it rarely, even in spite of the good combos I could get out of dthrows at low %s.

Forgot Pac-Man was in this game ¯\_(ツ
_/¯I haven't played enough of Pac-Man to know how well it fits into his play. Neither can use their grabs to punish shielding though, which is really lame and makes it hard for both of them to get KO's.
The main thing I would say is that Lucas's up smash is way underwhelming. It's like a slower, twice as unsafe version of Ike's with slightly more vertical range and KO's 10% earlier.

There's really no excuse as to why Villager's grab can't get airborne characters.

It can kill, which already makes it better than Yoshi's.

Why, you...!
I know Roy kind of stole Pac's thunder, but I was focusing on maining him up until the DLC characters hit last week, and I think I was pretty decent at using him when I played against other GAFfers. Pac-Man's a really cool character that I really like using now, mostly because it's a bit less "get in your face and wreck stuff up" than the rest of the characters I tend to use.
The versatility afforded by his bonus fruit is really cool, he can recover from almost anywhere, and trampoline traps are most certainly real.

How did Ryu sneak that forward air into the game? KO move at 120% and like his whole leg is the sweetspot.

Here's my rotation, sorted by priority. :3 I feel like at this point my Ike is better than my Falco, but I still love the bird more thanks to my Star Fox bias. Also, made sure to include Gunner <3

I don't think any throw has as much endlag as Villager's.
