Hey guys, I've been a long time smash player but never mastered the game. I main Link (by which I mean I can reach near average levels with him) but I'm having problem getting people off the stage. I have no problem dealing damage but I'm playing online matches where I lose 0-2 and the opponent will have 150-250% in damage and yet I cannot get them off the stage let alone win. All the smash attack I connect only hit with the initial one and not against the one that matters will be missed somehow. What can I do?
More people could name Mr. Game & Watch and Zero Suit Samus than Duck Hunt Dog? Odd, it's one character that always hypes my (non-gaming) friends when I tell them of it. "Hey, the Dog from Duck Hunt? He's playable in the new Smash!". People here remember him fondly.

figure out what moves kill with Link, and when to use them to get the kill
I don't actually play Link, so idk, but I think his forward tilt is decent at it?
I think the render pose doesn't make him recognizable. If the pose was him laughing then a lot more people would know who he was.

Have no idea who the people who were a part of this were. I'm assuming most of them aren't gamers, at least not new school gamers.
That moment when you realize Pikacu is more recognizable than Mario...
this isnt real. it was just something some guy on /v/ made to bait people

Yeah, the same could probably go for Pac-Man in his original (sprite) appearance.

Quick question, if this was real which one of these would be the new Kirby stage?
KLatin Scelus

Cookie Country, Mt. Dedede, and Patch Land would all be new Kriby stages.

No, I mean the one with the mine cart.

I'm guessing kids, cause a lot of em got Greninja

I'd say none.
- Some say it could be a part of Mt. Dedede
- Others say it breaks the leak due to it seemingly not being on the list
- Beelzebufo says it could be part/ is the Tower of Smash (though he could be joking)
No one really knows in till we get context on the stage.
His forward tilt, up smash (unlike in previous games), and down air can kill reliably at high percentages. Also the first part of his down air spikes the opponent down, and if you're feeling adventurous you can do this off-stage. Luckily, regular Link's down air is floaty/slow enough that you can usually up-B again if you miss.
It Could be Mt. Dedede due to the background, but I highly doubt it. Honestly, I think that pic pretty much confirms the leak is fake.
It looks liket the leak is fake. I mean, there's always a chance that the pic was from Mt. Dedede or Tower of Smash, but it's highly unlikely.
Link please!

So what does "Great Cave Offense" and "Mt. Dedede" have in common?
Welp. So much for that godlike stage list!
I think it was posted earlier, but here!
How could you?!
I know right?
Well of course by "break" I mean "close the 3DS, post on GAF, eat something and play more later" haha

They are both featured in the video game Kirby Super Star, aka Kirby Super Deluxe aka Kirby's Fun Pak for Super Nintendo, Wii, and DS.
That's a very good point. I'm convinced!
I'm still intrigued by the Wii U menu's layout being given to us via Smash 3DS' Wii U option. Aaah, speculation!

Outside of both locations being in the same game and both featuring castles (that look completely different), nothing.

So, It looks like the only leak we have left is Spainkiller's?
Have their been any other leaks since the game's release?
Hmp, I see.

I just saw the pic that Kirby and Pikachu riding a minecart, where's that from? A magazine scan or something?
edit: smash facebook page.

So I was just looking at the screenshots of Ness on the official site, and it looks like PK starstorm works differently in the Wii U version than it does in the 3DS version. In the 3DS version it works like Lucario's old final smash, but the picture on the site looks like it works the same as in Brawl.
Has this been discussed?

It looks the same as the 3DS version to me--it's just zoomed in so it looks wider than it is.
Too be honest....*sigh*, I'm still not believing it so I don't set myself up for disappointment. Nothing against him or anything, but I'm playing the patient waiting game.
If he is right though, he should definitely get a tag or something.

Regardless of real or not, something like this shows that smash is hitting that point where they pretty much have used all the big name Ninty characters. Also, I kind of laughed at shulk

Oh snap I just KO punched Master Hand as he was pointing his finger gun at me, smashed the tip of his pointer finger!
Also I have a real knack for pausing the game at any given time, just because I needed to pause, and then realizing that it's a hilarious screenshot.
Another one I got earlier.

It's not that I doubt Spainkiller himself (supposedly, he is pretty legit), it's his source who I'm having second thoughts about. When it comes to rumors & leaks, you learn not to shoot the messenger.
Do I think we'll get DLC, hell yeah. Do I think some trophy-only characters have a shot, yeah. Do I think it'll happen the way Spainkiller's source said it will, I'm not sure. Like with the Tower of Smash rumor, I'm gonna stay in the middle & watch what happens.

Just watch today's Pic of the Day be an Endless Ocean stage.
Then a few hours later the Smash Bros. Facebook page shows New Pork City as a stage on Wii U.

I'm suprised you didn't say anything about salt, that's practically your catch phrase.
Well, second catch phrase

I buy cakes for myself on my birthday it's not weird lots of people do it I bet
Yeah, for the record, the Tower of Smash leak copied SpainKiller (well, I mean, unless he's legit), except Impa being added.
So Ridley, Mewtwo, Chorus Kids, Dixie, they still have a chance.
Also I realized, that Facebook Pic spoiling the new Kirby Stage, we'll probably see it this week, right? Personally though, I hope tonight is another surprise Secret Character blowout. Bet we'll see Jigglypuff, Ganondorf, and Doc next.

Interesting to note that we have not seen any official reveal for the Pokemon stage on Wii U, though we've known about it since Greninja's trailer.

For those who may have missed it earlier
Spainkiller's source said he saw the 4 characters' moving models on the 3DS.
I need to see Ganondorf in HD, I just need it.

Yep, 3DS ver is still ugly.

The secret characters are almost certainly going to be revealed in the order they're unlocked via VS matches (that's the order they're listed in right now), so Dark Pit, Dr. Mario, and R.O.B. should be next. Though the clones could be skipped for the end, I suppose.

Yup, essentially debunked. It'll be hard to bring some credibility back.
I didn't catch this conversation, how is it "essentially debunked"?

New stage accidentally revealed through Smash Bros. Facebook page, most likely scenario is that it's from Kirby Super Star, which did not appear on the Tower of Smash stage list.
Hopefully in HD he'll look like Ganondorf, the Great King of Evil.
In the 3DS version he's just Ganondork.
