Hey there! Having fun?

[up][up]I was planning on doing that as part of my personal "farewell, Brawl" week.

Oooh, down there! Thanks. Looks like I got... 4171 right now. Gosh. That sounds like a lot.

(By the way, BB... could it be that you play baby blue Yoshi, too? Because if so... "one of us is going to have to change.")

PS: In other news, I calmed down surprisingly quickly and got my revenge against the Villager, 1-0. Link actually wasn't a big problem, I could've gotten a 2-0 with a few seconds more. Mario... also 1-0, but I spent more than half a minute running away to avoid a Sudden Death, ahaha.

Man. This game.

Ah, man, I've got like 15,000 gold now. I feel like I've allowed myself to become obsessive.

But I just had to see how things worked this time, and I really wanted to get a handle on the five demo characters, too!

But yeah, at a maximum of around 40 coins a match, usually less, I think we've all gotten a fair few fights in.

Ah, Megaman feels so much like Megaman. His moves are really only good in certain situations, but when they are good they EXCEL.

It's kinda cool because that's how Megaman should work. Fighting bosses with their specific weaknesses.

Leaf Shield's just kinda bad, though.

Honestly, I'm looking forward to customizing Mega Man, 'cause his default specials are mostly eh at best, Rush Coil excepted.

Leaf Shield's case is super specific, I give. But if you manage to land a grab, eh, bonus damage. Using b and side b together seems to be effective as well.

@Pulse: Dude.

You have the unlimited demo, though, right?

PS: ALSO ANOTHER THING I'M WONDERING. There was an analysis of the invitational tournament build of the game that said that Zelda had actually gotten "nerfed" somehow. Now, that can't be possible if this game is supposed to not have a huge gap between best and worst, since being worse than Brawl Zelda would be quite a feat, but is she still super-terrible?

... In fact, I'd kinda like to know which characters are considered the worst right now. And the best. Because I'm dumb.

You might be better off asking that in the leak thread... unless you only want info on the revealed characters and not anyone else.

I was about to do that when I realized I was asking about Zelda. But then I ended up asking about everyone instead. Welp!

No, actually, I just haven't been playing much else on my 3DS- I've been switching between a few bursts of the Smash demo and then to one of my other consoles, which has saved me a lot of demo uses.

Mostly the same deal with me, although I only really played the demo for two or three days, leaving it to do my dailies in Animal Crossing. I haven't played it at all since early last week though, so I'm pretty sure whatever skills I've gained have diminished again.

Hah, for all the good it's done me. At least right now, fights with Level 9 CPUs are maybe a coin toss for me if I'm using Link, Mario or Mega Man, and the odds are much worse if I'm trying to fumble around with Pikachu or Villager.

Ha ha ha, no.

I'm sure that she was probably stupid good in the invitational that Nintendo had to nerf her.

There's already a Zelda player kicking ass in the 3ds tournaments going around. Her up-b is super deadly now (Seen it kill at ~75%) and extremely safe. Din's Fire stealths, and her meteor smash is quite easier to hit this time around.

Funny how much playstyles can differ. I've talked often enough about how useless I am with Megaman, but Pikachu is great for me. I guess it's because I've been partial to short-hopped approaches for a long time, so Pika's forward- and back-aerials work really well for me. Even when an opponent sidesteps, I still end up hitting them. Pikachu is great for just keeping up the pressure like that with tons of little pokes.

[up] Huh.

WELP, I have no idea! But that's neat.

But that's just the thing- Mega Man loves short hop approaches, too, since Flame Sword and Slash Claw are the only close-range moves he has that don't leave him massively open on a whiff. I just have never been good with Pikachu for some reason.

I sure said that!

Right now, I can only consistently win against lv. 9 CPU's with Megaman or Mario, the latter because he has an easy ~40% damage combo off of a grab, and Meg's because his super good utility on his A-moves.

Link I can play a mean poke game with specials + short hop grab but Pikachu and Villager are a mystery for me.

Flame sword is ridiculously good, perfect hitbox to smack grounded opponents, doesn't widen his hurtbox so it can destroy projectiles, comes out super fast and leaves Megaman on the ground to follow up with.

I can beat the AI on level 9 with any character in the demo. What scared me the most is that I didn't need all that much practice to do it.

I've played a lot of smash over the years.

[up] Same. I basically started going against level 9 CP Us immediatelly after I got the demo.

I mean, I can always stalemate 'em, at least? All of my losses against Level 9 CPU have been in Sudden Death as the three character's I'm okay at using.

I sure said that!

@59527: There can be only one.

...I'm fine with pink or black sometimes, too, though, if by any chance we play against each other.

And it seems like I have 8156. I honestly didn't expect that since I haven't played the demo lately. I usually get anywhere from 36-52 coins per match since I practice striking from pivot cancel a lot, and that involves a lot of circle pad-moving.

I'm pretty happy to hear that Level 9's are apparently harder in this game. Training, ho! Not to slant Brawl's Level 9's (way back when, I vaguely remember them being harder than Melee's, but that a long time ago), but we've had years to figure them out. So I'm all for a challenge.

so wait, tier lists arent made in other fighting games like street fighter and such? that sounds...unlikely.

No, there are.

There's just as much in other fighting games. It's just more noticeable here because of the Broken Base's warring definitions of fun. Other fighting games don't have a broken base in that area, so it's not shouted about as often.

Makes sense, but I'm not happy about it.
