I don't think it'll be possible but if I can create a Himura Kenshin Mii Swordsman than I will.

I think I mentioned earlier I'd love to make Percy Jackson as a Swordsman. I'm hoping they have a sci-fi style costume with a laser sword so I can make Star Wars characters.

I just now thought of this, but Wreck It Ralph would make for a good Brawler.

I see all these discussions everywhere and all the technical terms and I sometimes wonder: "Oh good grief am I actually going to have to LEARN all this stuff to be any good at this game?"

Hmm...you know, looking at the new smashers and the current roster, I kinda wanna ask: If this game had a story mode (because Sakurai has confirmed he wouldn't put one in the game) that has every character in the roster (sans unlockables...maybe)...what plot would it have?

Well, Peach has been kidnapped by Bowser and Marth goes to save her because Mario's busy getting in shape with help from Wii Fit Trainer and then he defeats Samus and Mega Man collects a new power, but King Dedede has stolen all the food and Donkey Kong has to use his army of Pikmin to get it back but the Pikmin are eaten by Yoshi, and meanwhile Fox crashes into Skyworld where he catches a Lucario and has it fight Pit's Charizard, but then Palutena fires a Goddess Beam and drowns the world and Toon Link gets a Bug-Catching Net from Villager to catch a bug that can defeat Sheik's Greninja, but before he does Kirby and Pac-Man try to eat each other and the world explodes, causing Rosalina to be forced to create a new universe. The end.

I don't understand why Miis are only playable with friends. That doesn't seem nice.

I don't think Home Run Contest is 3DS only. I think it's just awkward wording in the pic of the day. There should be an extra comma before "the 3DS version"

Unless they're deliberately feature-stripping the Wii U version in order to promote the 3DS game (knowing that the Wii U version will be naturally more popular by default), but i have more faith in Sakurai and Nintendo than that.

I assumed it was to keep young players from encountering "questionable" Miis. Basically, the same reason the canvas-faced Blanca from Animal Crossing no longer lets people draw her a face in New Leaf.

I see all these discussions everywhere and all the technical terms and I sometimes wonder: "Oh good grief am I actually going to have to LEARN all this stuff to be any good at this game?"
That really depends on what you see as "any good at this game". If you want to be entering tournaments and not losing to everyone... yeah, probably. If you want to just play with friends, probably not. If you're friends with some pretty advanced players and you want to keep up... Honestly, I'm not such a big expert, but I think the basics of what you'd have to learn aren't that hard. There'll probably be some advanced techniques, but mostly playing the game well will be about playing the game well. Meaning you have to learn to be good at "spacing" (being exactly far enough from your opponent to hit them while not leaving yourself vulnerable), "reading" your opponent to anticipate their attacks and punish their mistakes, perfecting your "timing" by studying your character's moves (as well as your opponents')... And that's basically it. The match between Hungrybox and Zero back then was barely anything more than that. They were dodging and attacking just like everyone else, except really well.

Aside from that, the most important advanced techniques are pretty simple in principle, I think. Assuming they're still in, what you should know about is "short-hopping" (small hop performed by letting go of the jump button before your character even leaves the ground, letting you perform aerials at ground level), "fast-falling" (you should know this) and "L-canceling" (pressing the shield button just before hitting the ground while you're using an attack to reduce landing lag). And "teching"/"ukemi", of course (shield-button before hitting the ground while you're sent tumbling from an attack). All of these are pretty easy to perform on their own and trying to be conscious of these options should be enough to help elevate your game to levels that are enough for any non-tournament environment. Using them well requires practice, but the same holds true for everything else in the game.

PS: Again, I'm far from an expert.

PPS: I have a sneaking suspicion that you didn't actually want a reply like this at all, but I'm procrastinating on a presentation so this is fine.

L-cancelling was confirmed to not be in this game, but apparently landing lag is overall being reduced to compensate.

fawriel Since: Jan, 2001
#47023: Jun 12th 2014 at 7:31:13 AM

Fair enough, landing lag is dumb anyway. As long as balance doesn't suffer for it by making slow characters too slow to function (which is not the impression I got watching Bowser and DK), that's actually great news! I always hoped for the game to be more smoothly playable in terms of mobility like that.

"I assumed it was to keep young players from encountering "questionable" Miis. Basically, the same reason the canvas-faced Blanca from Animal Crossing no longer lets people draw her a face in New Leaf."

Ugh, Nintendo trying to censor us because they LOVE to Think of the Children!!

It's because of this that you can't use ANY swear words to name Pokemon in X/Y

Heck, I can name Link whatever I want in OOT, so why is Nintendo choosing to censor now?

Actually, Nintendo is making their "kiddy" image much worse by censoring us.

On to the Mii topic:

Brawler: Superman, Batman, The Powerpuff Girls, Homer Simpson, The Joker

Swordsman: Yoda, Hercules, Samurai Jack, Deathstroke

Blaster: Dexter (Dexter'sLaboratory, not the live action show), Captain Kirk

AAAAUUUUGGGHHHH!!!!
