Super Smash Bros.

Also, that Ninja Turtles game.

Still not comparable. PSASBR would obviously lose.

A decisive 2/4 record isn't that bad, actually.

I interrupt this with something pretty funny.

Anyone ever play the Power Stone series, on the Dreamcast?

I played it at my friends house once or twice during the Dreamcast days. Don't remember much, besides it was crazy awesome at the time =D

Oh my god all of sudden I'm playing like, 50% better than I ever did before.

I just wanted to make a Take That! against Co D.

I hate playing Co D against Human Players...only when they're on my team am I okay with it.

One of the things I love about Captain Falcon, is landing an up tilt on a recovering enemy, sending them down to their doom. I actually have a lot of replays of me doing it, and in one match it was the only way I killed my Yoshi amiibo.

Musing time!

Tried out Greninja. He's pretty slick. I imagine I could have a lot of fun with him. Gotta get used to him more.

Battlers I'm good with so far: Pikachu, Mario, Palutena, Peach and Link. Still gotta hone my skills with Lucario, Marth, and Lucina before I could say with confidence "I'm used to you guys".

Bowser Jr.'s...surprisingly awesome. I didn't really see myself using Bowser Jr. a lot due to not playing any of the Mario games he appeared in(Then again, I haven't really...played most Mario games in general), but I now want to use him more efficiently.

A bit of advance warning: opponents can actually manage to escape Jr's Forward Smash mid-hit simply by ending up either too close or too far from him when it connects (it doesn't appear to be character-specific, either; I've had it randomly decide to whiff on characters ranging from Ness to Papa Koopa himself).

This also sort of applies for his Abandon Ship and walking Mecha Koopas as well, but it's naturally much less terrifying when it happens with them.

I realized some time ago that Pac-Man's idle hydrant seems to still have a hitbox if you stay close enough to it, but it just doesn't hurt you.

Naturally...◊

Is it just me, or is the level 9 AI in the 3DS game now much tougher than before? I take a break for about 2 months so maybe I'm rusty, but I'm legit having trouble beating them consistently.

Today I give a new definition to the term "stage spike".

... has that always been there?

If you used that with Greninja's Substitute, would it target the hydrant or Pac-Man?

The Combo Cannon? Yes.

General consensus, actually. Especially if you have to deal with more than one.

Depends on how close Pac-Man is. If he's close enough then using Substitute upwards or downwards is going to target him. Otherwise Greninja will go for the hydrant. The distance from what I heard is about how far an uncharged Luma Shot can go.

What I said is also true for Olimar's side-b. Every time the Pikmin holding onto you smack you they can trigger Substitute. Even if you don't end up hitting Olimar, you're still going to kill his Pikmin at least.

So, if anybody is struggling to complete that one Target Blast challenge of doing 450000 in Stage 3...

Ganondorf may be terrible, but he's so fun to play as. Smack things as hard as you can, and when your opponent is off stage stomp them to death. I've had a surprising amount of success (any) with him online.

Instead of stomping people, I prefer a Volcano Kick! They can't do anything but jump right into it!

What even Moon. I can't even do that with both rounds.

Agreed. Plus, he just feels damn good to play, since all of his hits have this great "smack" feel to them, if that makes any sense.

Ganondorf isn't really terrible. I mean, pretty much every character in this game is viable and I've seen a lot of people placing Ganondorf in mid-tier.

After beating up Metal G&W in 3DS Classic, I definitely know what you mean with that 'smack' feeling.

And I've been pretty impressed with how viable all the fighters are, if/once you learn how to use them

I'm always amused when Nabbit shows up and I can smack him around just like the other fighters.

I wonder if the screen still zooms in when you use Mac's uppercut on him.
