An ominous thing that appeared from Master Hand. Many black objects called the Swarm come together to mimic things like a beast or swords. These different forms are to counter every possible method of attack. The more the degree of seriousness rises, the more forms it takes on to torment fighters. When the swarm is completely wiped out the core's main body is revealed.

Edit: damn, beaten. I need to work faster on translating shit

Aw, that was a bit more literal than I would have liked.

Was hoping for some insights into whatever the Smash lore is and what exactly the Core is in relation to the Hands.

I'm sure each form will have it own trophy, so theres still room for lore :p

I wonder if every Master Core character form will have its own trophy lol

lol @ the recurring notion that bringing amiibos to a tournament is ever going to be a thing.


For unlocking the moves you're just going to need one person with a complete 3DS save file go around all the WiiU systems and trasfer the content.

And for custom moves, the ones you use are going to be dependent on whoever the other player picks and what the stage you're playing on is, being able to save a moveset on an amiibo is barely helpful at all.
Bringing things to tournaments is annoying. It's inconvenient for me to even bring an N64 controller when need, since inevitably one of the controllers ends up left on a table somewhere. I guess I should invest in a bag or something. But yeah, Amiibos aren't happening.

Still, it'd be really nice if buying the Amiibo went ahead and unlocked the characters customs, since getting them randomly can take a bunch of luck and time.

Are 3DS/Wii U save files usually copy-able? That's one of the really convenient things about Melee's. With hacks Brawl's can be too, but that's already more work than it should be.

I like him because the other sword users in the game are fancy pants graceful sword users and Ike is rugged and wields his sword like a brute.
He's like the Ganondorf of swordsmen, just without anything thematically interesting about him. I'm sure a lot of people like his rather crude playstyle, though.

Wii U saves are console locked, and 3DS saves are stored in the cartridge.. So, no :(

They're really locked to the console?

Wow, that's the dumbest thing. Why do you do these things Nintendo?

You can transfer characters and custom moves/equipment from a 3DS to a WiiU anyway.


If it doesn't delete all the stuff from your 3DS when you do it or lock the feature forever once you've done it once (which it shouldn't, but this is Nintendo), then the 3DS version will basically become the equivalent of a Gamecube memory card in tournaments lol.

Hope so. I worry that it might do something dumb and see if the NNID matches though, or similar.

But now I'm just annoyed in general that Wii U saves can't be backed up. Why?! These systems don't last forever, I might need to rescue those saves.
 
What's the point of having a separate menu to customize Miis when you can customize Miis via the character customization menu?

Is one for Mii selection and costumes and the other for actual moves?
 
Did I see right, no blood falcon in the alts?

Let us cry for the fan item.
The true loss of this game.
They were n00b traps. n00bs didn't understand you could lock people in with them.

Ask Twilight hack. For backed up saves to useful (i.e. work on a different console to the one bought) they need to be common key encrypted and under than condition you have an attack vector for a hack. Saves can be backed up on a Wii U but it is a pain (and like I said before they are useless if the console breaks).

Cloud saves could work or having the NNID generate the key or something (so when using the NNID on a differnt system the saves unlock)

But like... why would they encrypt them in the first place, at all, ever? They're doing extra work to remove a useful feature and get no benefit.

Oh, you can set specific move sets to specific alt colors, so you can basically make the 7 Koopalings have their own movesets and make Alph his own moveset.
Wow, really? If so then I'll probably get more use out of custom move sets than I originally thought. What a cool little feature.

I didn't think it was possible, but the MK colour scheme makes Duck Hunt Kirby even cuter.

I've stopped caring about Ridley, Dixie, and Impa. My new smash goal is to play as Duck Hunt Kirby forever and always.
