Super Smash Bros.

Pulse, I concur. I HATE Pikachu in Smash because of how easy it is to spam his Down B.

Thunder should be nerfed for Smash 5...or altered like Pit's side B.

...It... was already nerfed...

Thunder spam has never been that difficult to deal with. There's enough lag between Thunder ending and being able to be used again that you can give Pikachu a good ol' smack while he's helpless. Not to mention it has no use if there's a ceiling above Pikachu or you happen to have a move that reflects/absorbs projectiles.

So, after playing the Wii U version I simply became a complete noob at the 3DS version. It's so awkward to move back to the circle pad.

A shame. I'll probably be getting back into Smash soon(ish) and planned to make of the Multiplayer thread again. I only own the 3DS version so...

I still wish the Wii U version allowed the 3DS to be used as a regular controller for modes other than Smash.

I mean, I can still play the 3DS version, just expect me to not be nearly as good as I was before

Monado can boost a stat depending on what stat you choose to boost.

Department of Redundancy Department much?

Maybe, but it is true.

Sometimes I tend to be redundant and I don't know it.

I made this to show how amiibo training feels.

x4 I notice you didn't add pros and cons for Little Mac. Or are they obvious at this point?

Yeah, that's pretty accurate. After getting my amiibo up to level 50 it's almost impossible for me to beat them. I've noticed that they're learning from each other though which is cool. My Link was a projectile spammer and I trained my Zelda by making her fight him over and over. After a while I noticed she was insanely good at reflecting or evading projectiles. A little later on I came to the realization that Link was also being more careful with his usage of projectiles. These things are really cool!

Yeah, they're totally worth the price.

Stache Man (my Mario) dodges practically everything and does a ludicrous amount of damage when he hits.

Pikachu's Down B automatically goes through anything above him in Smash 4 unlike previous games where it'd only go through ceilings of larger stages and Pikachu was at the bottom, his Thunder hasn't really been nerfed at all...being lower doesn't change the fact that he can jump.

Thunder starting lower was an interesting choice, being something of both a buff and a nerf.

My dream is to have every single amiibo so I can train them all by pitting them against each other. After that's done I'm going to have a tournament with all of them to see which one is the strongest.

It's also generally weaker than its previous incarnations; the only thing I see it used for now is its utility as a follow-up to high-percent grabs.

Burnt, you're right, I forgot to add pros and cons for Mac.

Unfortunately livejournal is being a shit right now, so I can't edit it until tomorrow.

But, if they aren't obvious, Mac has great ground game, yet is terrible in the air.

Does Smash 4 not have a tournament mode? I can't find the button.

It's going to be added later, presumably in the same update that adds the Miiverse stage and Mewtwo's data.

Why would something like that not be included in the base game?

Because they weren't finished by the time the games were set to be released. At least they can update this iteration of Smash, unlike Brawl.

Mewtwo amiibo and box.

(fanmade :P)

That's a really cool looking figure. I hope Mewtwo does eventually get an amiibo.

I don't mind taking advantage of the ability to update when they take some extra time to make sure everything works. As long as people don't start getting lazy and using that as an excuse to sell unfinished games!

And that is a sweet fan-figurine. I'd totally collect that if I had money and was into collecting things even though I'm kinda meh on Mewtwo, just because it's unique. I do hope he turns out well once he arrives though.
