It would be more annoying if I could play you without lag, but oh well. :/ GGs, friend.

Man I try to be at least decent with most of the cast, but I just can't get good with Metaknight at all. Feels really awkward to play as for some reason. Dunno how you're that good with him, hope we can play again without lag soon

Lol, I'm very particular about who I play so that helps. With MK, you have to be really patient but the lag was kinda frustrating me so that went out the window as you saw. :/ I couldn't even play spacies against you, it's pretty awful.

You at least seem to have a lot of knowledge about what each character's strong points are, but I've yet to detect who could actually be your main. They all seem to just rely on typical BnB's and not much indicative of character specialists.

I said wow
I asked him on Reddit. He says it's just a strange naming convention that was also present on the 3DS (which has unused data for Metal Face). The latter is true, and the 3DS version was hacked by several people, where he is also called Metal Face in the files.

Just inconsistent naming. Maybe they didn't want the name "Black Face" anywhere near the international release, even buried in code.

Thanks for checking! I didn't know that about the 3DS files, but that consistency is reassuring. I'm also glad the devs realized having "BlackFace" all over their code was not such a great idea. :p (They also forewent "BlackPit" in favor of the much more subtle and possibly more appropriate "Pitb.")

But hopefully it also/alternatively means that they could still be coming as DLC. Though with Sakurai insisting that Mewtwo is the only character DLC they're working on and that they didn't even start on that until the game itself was out, I'm not too confident.

To be fair, though, Sakurai has always played his cards very close to the chest, and I can tell you that, even in interviews, not everything he says is 100% truthful. I have no doubt that Mewtwo's development began some time ago--as did any other possible DLC candidates. At this point, I'd wager they're mainly just polishing.

I can vouch for PushDustin's credibility. iirc the 3DS files has "MetalFace", too.

Well, I only got modded last week. :p

Good to know! Thanks for clarifying, and congrats on the recent promotion! :D

I've been playing Pikachu a bunch lately. I think I might main him, if you use him right he's like a moving continuous hitbox. Didn't use him as well as I usually do in that match, but when we play again there hopefully won't be any lag and i'll be much better with him.

Oh yeah, it feels like he's got insane interrupt frames on a lot of his moves. Either that, or they just end really quick, because it's difficult for me to land any sort of hit on him without being hit back immediately after. :( I got some good MK practice with you because I got to try out different methods of getting back on the stage, so I thank you for it.

I just need to stop with the self-destructing every match.

Haha that's fine same here actually ggs, gonna eat now too, maybe we can play again later

I did save that one battle where we both killed each other on that first stock. I lost that one but that Bowser vs. Little Mac battle was amazing.

But against Ganon you just get wrecked.

I need to use Ike more. You have to excuse the scrubby play since my folks wanted me to eat their food. If you want to have another go let me know.
Yeah I'm down to play again, but I need to play Ganon again. I also know rob is a better match up, but it's more fun with Mac xD
 
How would you even fit more characters on the character select screen? Only got room for two more.

I don't understand. This series has a history of scaling character icons. When characters are unlocked and the CSS expands, character icons get a little smaller to compensate. It happened in Brawl and Smash 3DS; no reason at all it couldn't happen in Smash Wii U. I'm not sure why this idea seems so impossible to people. I feel like that would be the easiest and most obvious way to make room for additional characters on the CSS.

To be fair, though, Sakurai has always played his cards very close to the chest, and I can tell you that, even in interviews, not everything he says is 100% truthful.

Interesting! Not really that surprising though, I suppose, and maybe I trust Sakurai's word a little too faithfully. I do wonder when Mewtwo will actually arrive... maybe in May, along with the second round of Mario Kart 8 DLC?

I don't really expect Mewtwo to be the only DLC character because of Namco. I don't think it'd make sense for Nintendo to pay a Namco team for just one character. If anything, I can see them working on a few DLC characters/stages and now and maybe release them later in packs, to make more profits.
It doesn't really seem like good business to pay Namco for the profits of one character DLC.

Hmm that was some bad lag but it sorted itself out in the end
Sorry didn't mean to choose the same stage.
At least the connection was fine there!

I try to keep my expectations in check with Nintendo... They always seem to miss the mark, or be very late to the party relating to online features..

Oh naw man. I got a shield break kill. I'm more then satisfied.

Really enjoyed playing as Bowser. Lots of close matches.
Haha xD. Think I lost a total of only 3-4 times (Not counting olimar, pikachu, and shulk). And regrettably, those time's were usually mistakes I made, staying under you and gotten the shield break, doing up b way to late etc. But yeah man ggs, wishI've gotten more ganon tho rob also felt a bit left out lol

Today sucks.

I'll be in the lab until mid-morning. Q.Q

Oh well, maybe I'll accidentally cure cancer or something... not worth my Smash time.

GGs boney! you were a beast , making me sd out of pressure.

But seriously man , you were a tough opponent for me.
I enjoyed the matches a lot as well! Your peach was tough. You only need to work on your dodging and you'll be gold.

Keep at it! I'd love to play again anytime.
