So Short Hop Fortress will hit everyone reliably that isn't Diddy Kong, Mr. Game and Watch, Duck Hunt, Pikachu, Greninja, Jigglypuff, Kirby, Meta Knight, Olimar, Pacman.
Everyone else is fair game though so on a confirmed hit that's a free 22%-29% damage.
You can hit Pacman and Diddy sometimes while you can't really get a hit on the other characters listed due to how they stand and where their hitboxes are.

Been holding off on getting Smash until I could find a GCN controller adapter at MSRP but that isn't going to happen anytime soon. I'm just going to bite the bullet and buy the game tomorrow; the gamepad is going to have to suffice until Nintendo gets their supply issues under control.
At least use a classic controller. The Gamepad is just way to big for it.

I will when Nintendo prices them resonably or there is a sale. I'm not paying $50 for a controller; accessory prices have gotten out of hand in my opinion..
Nah, she's part-Chozo as of the most recent lore, and arguably part Metroid and/or X and/or those two canceled out. No way was a normal human (little kid no less) raised on Zebes.

the only Nintendo lore I care about is Zelda, I am still having trouble to accept the official timeline, it looks like a way to say all fan theories that actually made sense a big fat "screw you!"
thou I loved how Metroid Prime worked out it's lore with those scan logs
dunno if the subspace emissary counts as Smash lore xD

Best I can tell, each Smash has its own lore. There are common themes but no apparent continuity.

The official timeline isn't really so different from the most popular fan theory. When I was posting on ZU back in the day, at the time of Spirit Tracks release firm fan consensus had, to a reasonable degree, swung behind:
SS --- tMC --- OoT --- tWW/PH --- ST --- FS/FSA --- aLttP/OoA/OoS/LA --- LoZ/AoL
........................\
......................MM --- TP
That's not really that bad at all, given that Nintendo had never hinted that one of the timelines was literally a "What If". If people had known that, I think it would have been fairly obvious that the aLttP/OoA/OoS/LA --- LoZ/AoL branch belonged to the What If, because the gap between FSA and aLttP was clearly the winkest link (hurr hurr) in this particular chronology, as Ganon mysteriously ends up resurrecting in between the end of FSA and start of aLttP. When you account for that, the most popular fan theory would probably have looked like this:
SS --- tMC --- OoT --- tWW/PH --- ST --- FS/FSA
........................\
......................MM --- TP
SS --- tMC --- OoT --- aLttP/OoA/OoS/LA --- LoZ/AoL
This is basically right. The only changes from this is that FS is shifted to being a tMC sequel, which is a retcon given that the manual of FSA places it as an FS sequel, and that FSA takes place some time after Twilight Princess which was... unexpected, but not inconsistent. These two are the ones that just feel a bit "meh, stick 'em in anywhere", but the FS games are not particularly significant in the grand scheme of things.

Wasn't she infused with Chozo dna due to not being able to survive in the environment.

Yep. Also gave her great athletic attributes far beyond a human. Chozo power suit amplifies this.

I'm mostly a Fire Emblem/Zelda/Pokemon fan when it comes to lore. There's always some fascinating stuff in Nintendo games.
Like I never realized how OP in canon Kirby is until I REALLY looked into it.

yeah, I agree xD
some games seems like they were just placed for the sake of place them somewhere lol
the "what if" scenario is my biggest complain since we actually have a "real" scenario that can lead to that timeline, Link came back on time to get the Lens of Truth after traveling 7 years into the future for the first time, that leaves us with a future where Link just vanished and Ganondorf never got defeated, and that can be said about everytime we went back on time for whatever reason we had... of course that logic only works because we are splitting timelines, one of the reasons why time travel plots are so inconsistence lol
I guess that's where they wanted to go, because whenever you die in the game also counts as "Link failed", but that's not exclusive to OoT, so it still feels like a random reason to split the timeline imo
yeah that's as much as I can get, mostly Master Hand, Final Destination, those kind themes
I liked pkm lore on first gen, reading those diary entries on The Pokémon Mansion, it felt like Resident Evil at some point lol, as for Fire Emblem, most games are stand alone entries, so I never really got into it, except for the Radiant series, I was interested in the previous war that the game talks about... I mean, that lady

Any issues besides getting used to the button placement? I'm thinking I'll have to switch shield/grab from the default.
I have shield as X and the left bumper and trigger grab. Tap jump is off. That's all I changed.

I mostly use a GC controller, but sometimes for off-TV I use the GamePad. It's mostly fine for me except if I forget to use one of my profiles, the default R-Trigger = grab R-Button = shield really, really throws me off.
Damn my internet is down this blows
I use the wii u pro controller though, and switch the r trigger for grab as well and take tap jump.
I meant the wii one, it's a decent enough substitute, but I guess you don't have one.

Been getting into watching the competitive scene and turning off tap jump seems like a must; I didn't even know you could do that until a few weeks ago. Thinking about trying to main Mario since he seems like a good character for Smash rookies.

Tap jump is all about preference, so see what you like.
As for who to main, pick random until it gives you someone you like. That's how I picked my mains at least.
You should also focus on learning Smash fundamentals first, as in my opinion they're far more important than what character you use.Mario is pretty fun, and he's easy to learn combos with, so he's pretty good for beginners.
Little Mac was the first character I used though because his trailer made me too hype and i wanted to play him as soon as the game came out :T
People keep saying this if I tell them I use the gamepad, but I don't get it, it's just a regular controller with a screen in the middle. I would use a GC controller if I could, but I wasn't lucky enough to get one before they were all gone
The gamepad is perfectly acceptable to use for me at least.Anyone wanna 1v1? ID is HarimeNui.

You can always change the control setup so that the c-stick is tilt attacks instead of smashes.

Yeah, I have one profile set up like that, depending on what character I play. But it would be nice to do it "properly". I'm too thumb heavy on the l-stick :/ Can't seem to shake off the habit, lol

I honestly feel like it's the way to go and the way I should have set up the Wii U version from the get-go. After all, I had to acclimate over the many many hours with the 3DS version to not having a c-stick for Smash attacks, so it's not like I really needed it for smashes anymore. But alas, too much time with the default controls and now whenever I switch to my tilt-stick profile I find myself throwing out tilts constantly when I want to do smashes.
After all these years I still can't consistently pull off ground side tilts
Yeah it just takes practice, just delay the input. Press towards where you want to tilt, wait a split second, then press A. If you're getting a Smash attack you are pressing them too close to each other and for too long, if it's a dash attack you're probably inputting it way too fast.
Having attacks on C-Stick does make it tons easier, as well as makes perfect pivot attacks much more reliable but I haven't gotten used to it yet. As a Ness main I don't need to use my tilts as often as some other characters so I usually stick with Smashes on C-Stick.
...I also put L as Jump for easier Glide Tossing for Mega Man/Diddy Kong/etc.

You're my last Bracket 1 match so are you available to play this week?
Tonight is going to be tight... I might be able to play around 10PM EST, but I'm not positive. Does that time work for you? If you end up not hearing from me for some reason, I'll just forfeit the match.
