Super Smash Bros.

I've beaten All-Star and Classic with every character in both versions, completed every challenge in both versions, and collected every move in both versions. I've even beaten 9.0 Classic with every character on both versions and I'm working on beating All-Star on hard with every character.

Greninkas?

I love Town and City

Early lead: denied.

I maybe should practice more but against who? Playing against my brother always drives me crazy for some reason.

Find other people to play against, either online or offline. Just playing against friends is also good.

I really have to practice not getting grabbed.

I'll be available for Wii U online Smash in a few hours, maybe.

If I may pose a question to the FE-savy members of the thread(and I guess the non-FE-Savy members if they think they have a good idea), how would the Galeforce skill from Awakening be implemented into a Smash environment?

It could be a gentle hit with some start up lag and a lot of ending lag, but if you hit with it, it unleashes a second nasty blow right afterwards with really high knockback.

That sounds about right, if you wanna go with crunch rather than fluff.

Another way I could see doing it would be to have several skills be activated in a similar manner as Monado Arts, and having certain moves be altered based on which skill gets activated. Thus, there'd be a move (maybe something similar to Dancing Blade) that gets the powerful second hit activated when Galeforce was in use.

Or even a mobility boost after landing a hit or scoring a KO. There's a lot of ways it could work.

I feel like making it a mechanic really feels like it'd be over-complicating things. The two thoughts I've had about it would be as recovery moves, either being similar to Air Slash, or something that can be used to "reset" your jumps, but possibly leaves you in free-fall after the second post-use.

I don't think they'd make a move that had conditional effects upon getting a KO - beyond promoting an Unstable Equilibrium that Smash in general tries to avoid, such a condition would be completely pointless in several modes of play (like some levels in Classic mode, any time there's a single-stock fight, target/home run bat stages, etc.). I think the condition would have to be much wider (such as being attacked with either a melee or a projectile attack, the basis for counter and reflect moves, repsectively) for it to be considered.

So, what do you guys think will be discussed in the upcoming direct?

I don't think they would have effectively used Cloud Strife as a teaser for the next Direct's Smash-related content unless it was something huge (or, at least what they think is huge). The most absurd thing I could think of would be that they're going to announce a Dissidia Final Fantasy game for the WiiU and 3DS, and that it would somehow link to basically give DLC characters to Smash as well as allow you to port over characters from Smash into Dissidia. Technically possible, extremely unlikely, but people would flip out if it happened.

A slightly more realistic take would be that Square Enix would announce a new crossover game featuring just their properties featuring the Smash mechanics as a Nintendo exclusive, probably featuring the chibis used for the Theatrhythm games.

I've always wanted to play Dissidia. And a lot of the Sony-exclusive Final Fantasies.

I wonder if it's something to do with Bravely Second.

I mean, it probably isn't, but still.

I don't think that there are any upcoming regular directs any time soon, so I have to assume that the "upcoming direct" refers to the Smash special in December.

For that, Sakurai's likely going to appear as he has in the past directs, explain Cloud's moveset and give us a release date. Then, there's likely going to be a mention of the ballot, possibly a trailer of any "first" characters that could be coming, maybe allusions to ones that might not release relatively soon, if this is the "last" direct, and it's not a "only one character" thing.

Possibly mention of new stages, or anything else that might be coming for DLC.

This is so dumb but I'm laughing anyway.

What the hell just happened and why the fuck am I chuckling?

You're laughing because you're having trouble comprehending it.

And cloud slapping his way to the top of the DLC food-chain is mean but hilarious

Did Cloud just Falcon Punch a Ridleycat?

I don't know why but I can't stop laughing.
