Super Smash Bros.

TFW: You've been playing Smash Run for a week and suddenly notice (or remember) the challenge doors and SSE doors are the same

When a game has dozens of playable characters, stages, items, and game modes, you gotta save money wherever you can.

Marth's Shield Breaker only seems to activate it's hitbox at the end of the animation so it can "properly" utilize the tipper mechanics.

I... don't even know...

I don't mind. It was just funny that I suddenly felt the need to notice.

Also Smash Run is throwing me off now. I just did a For Glory match and was confused that I wasn't running and jumping at crazy speeds. Hopefully I can finish getting all the customs soon >_>

The whole saying "Items make the game fun" just registers in my head as elitist. Probably because I seem to get that one can't have fun in the game unless they use items when they say that.

Of course this guy was constantly asking me to turn items on when everyone else kept saying no. He needs to git gud.

Gotta play with the group. I was at a party where we played with items and I tended to win a lot because I know how they all worked and no one else did (and I had gotten the game the day it came out so I had already been playing longer than anyone else ;p).

Then we turned them off and I didn't win as much.

Then we played For Glory style and I had a lot more trouble because they all had these annoying little tricks that I wasn't able to beat out easily.

Like Peach floating into a forward air attack or Shulk starting out with Buster and switching to Smash when my damage got high.

But in time you tend to learn how people play and react accordingly. My strategy is usually to leave some distance between me and my opponent and flail out when they get close.

Easy with Fox because his blaster can really rack up damage from far enough away.

No, almost everyone else was saying no to having all items on. He was very adamant about having them on.

That's right, I'm talking about him.

I've come to learn that in groups The Complainer Is Always Wrong. House rules rule and all.

I've trained enough with Lucina to be able to fight with items on and off as well as on For Glory type matches.

In fact, the only time I lose is when people are being cheap asses. Case in point, Jigglypuff trying to hit me with Rest. I don't know why layers like to use that so much if they know they don't have a high chance of actually hitting me.

Using Rest isn't cheap...unless you're in a free for all, then dodge more than attack is necessary.

Rest really isn't cheap. It's hard to hit and if you miss then you're open for several seconds.

The hitbox is smaller than Jigglypuff's model. It's so risky that any hit it lands was earned.

What MIGHT make Rest cheap is if it did what it did in the games.

Namely healing you whenever you needed it. ;p

You put enough space between you and your opponent then you could really knock off some damage.

Honestly, that's how it should work, to me. Extend the amount of time 'puff is asleep for by a little bit, and have it heal a little bit of damage.

That sounds good.

But if she's hit then she takes more damage than normal?

That would seem like a fair trade-off.

Apparently that one gif I made about sliding pivots made it's way into twitter and a few notable Greninja mains saw it

You know I think I might create a twitter one of these days

Be wary of any drama that goes on.

STALEST. METAGAME.

Somebody came up with an alternative gametype based off of Smogon's tier system.

Rest actually working like it does in Pokemon <ie no attack in exchange for healing> does sound like a neat custom move for Jiggz, honestly...

I find the fact that Lucario is UU both there and in Smogon to be hilarious.

Lucario UU!? What is the world coming to!?

I could make a comment, but it'd do nothing but start a fight more appropriate to the pokemon thread.

Standard Lucario isn't fast enough and doesn't hit hard enough. Mega Lucario is fucking insane...◊

...

Why is Mega Lucario in Smash still so slow? A faster speed would make it far better than just being a Starman'd up damaged Lucario.

I still know that feel.
