Super Smash Bros.

The worst possible Master Hand/Crazy Hand combo: Crazy Hand burying you in the ground just as Master Hand pulls out those raising platforms, lifting you off the stage helplessly to your death.

Hate that. Hate it.

Yeah, so I got Smash 4 Wii U for Christmas. Took me a bit to get used to the controls.

I'm so glad you can customize your controls, because the default layout was just not doing it for me.

I played Smash Wii U ALL DAY.

Love it. Love it love it love it.

Christmas newbies! They're so cute...

You're a month behind on challenges! Get on it!

I've been training Stache Man (my Mario Amiibo) a lot.

He's almost at level 50, and oh my God, is he out for blood when I fight him.

Come over to my place and fight my Amri, they'll both learn even faster.

No way! Those challenges are hard! I'm just going to play MY favorite mode of battle: Mega light smash with super mushrooms, lightning, and smash balls.

No Bunny Hoods?

I tried that. It's not very fun when the fighters are miles above the stage and nothing is happening. This is an example where overkill rolls over into no fun.

I got a Fox amiibo for Christmas.

Kinda afraid of taking him out of the package, don't want him going Terminator on me

It's fine, as long as you treat him well, play with him enough and always make a blood sacrifice to him after every defeat at his paws, he probably won't take his blaster to your head in your sleep.

I keep messing up setting my name and custom controls for Classic, so I'm just using the Gamepad now- I need to get used to it anyway, even if the GCN controller will eventually return to being my go-to Smash controller.

I think I've passed on the Gamecube controller adapter. I don't know enough people without their own Wii to really justify getting it.

I just played an online 3DS match on "For Fun" where I managed to get 3 K.O.'s in the last 5 seconds. Those 3 K.O.'s won me the match. I had to leave after that because I doubt that I will be able to match that feat again any time soon.

I just got the Wii U version for Christmas. After getting used to the controls, the first thing I did (and am still doing) is 8-player Supper Sudden Death with all explosive items and bumpers turned on.

Half the time I don't even know what I'm doing, but it's still hilarious. KOs for days, man.

Wait you can do 8-player Super Sudden Death? Or did you just turn everybody's handicap to 300%.

I turned everyone's handicap to 300% manually, yeah.

Darn. I thought there was a way to do an 8-player Special Smash that I overlooked.

For Smash 5 they gotta integrate those some way. Like put the Special Smash options right in the rules.

Another fun thing to do with 8-player smash: Take seven level 1 CPUs, put them on a team, and set their handicap to 300%. Then play as Greninja and see how long you can keep bouncing off their heads with his down aerial.

Something of a shame this feature's pretty useless to me otherwise since I lack a RL social life, but it's certainly amusing to mess around with with CPUs.

I have no Bros to Smash with.

Luckily, all these goddamn All-Star trophies can keep me busy.

You gotta do em all on Hard mode to beat a challenge...but apparently you can hammer it.

Yeah, not even gonna bother. It's beyond me. I'm just playing it on easy and knocking everyone the fuck out.

Unfortunately, it appears CD factory stages just don't work in 4. Besides the fact that there doesn't seem to be a conveyor belt stage part (unless one has to unlock that), the sandbags refuse to drop anything no matter how much you bash them if they're the only item turned on. I did manage to grab some equipment and a CD (Super Mario 64's Theme) on the first try, but I think that was just coincidence.

Kind of a bummer.

Master Orders are just easier. You may have to pay, but you're guaranteed to get something out of the battle.
