So can Zoroark. It gets Rares, Legendaries, and the flopmaster itself. Because hey, somebody's got to make a splash besides Greninja. tongue

Magikarp is the real flopmaster...

I find it funny that Zoroark's attack is basically Greninja's Final Smash only less fancy.

Why is Greninja's Final Smash "Secret Ninja Attack"?

At least it links relatively cleanly to Mat Block and Night Slash, unlike a certain other Pokemon FS that has nothing to do with anything.

I sure said that!

Probably a just for fun name.

And yeah, it is weird Zoroark did that. It makes sense since it's clawed, but I dislike that it doesn't have a move that really alludes to its typing at all. Or its ability.

When Magikarp can use Splash in an SSB game, it can be the flopmaster. But as of now Goldeen holds the title, in the SSB series, anyway.

Magikarp vs. Goldeen.

Splash only, no items, Final Destination.

I mean, I'm just sayin', it's not like Pokemon is a game bereft of attack variety. I don't understand any need to make up new stuff for Smash in regards to that series.

I'm guessing it got a different name because it's a combo of two different attacks, calling it "Night Slash" wouldn't be quite right because it also uses Mat Block and vice-versa. So they just went with a name for the combo, similar to the Pokémon Trainer in Brawl.

I believe Customer fights with Megaman tongue
Correct, Mega Man is one of my mains. And every time Baffle complains about one, I end up wondering if my playstyle is any different from theirs.

I find it funny that Zoroark's attack is basically Greninja's Final Smash only less fancy.
When I first got Zoroark, I thought it's ability was using a weaker version of the summoner's Final Smash (or just the Final Smashes of the Pokemon team), because the only time I happened to get it was when I was Greninja during a fight. I was disappointed when I found out this wasn't the case.

How would Zoroark copy Jigglypuff's Final Smash? I don't think it would work with most of them. Like, say... The Mega Evolutions, Megaman's Final Smash, among others tongue

Well, I encountered Zoroark fairly early after I got my copy of the game and, in a bit of happiness-induced delusion, came up with that idea. Obviously, after I thought about it for a moment, I realized it wouldn't work that way.

Though I've imagined Zoroark just growing in size like it ate a bunch of Super Mushrooms and still keeping Jiggly's effects. It was mostly Pikachu's, Charizard's, and Lucario's Final Smashes that gave me pause.

Personally, I wish it got a different ability, or something that referenced its illusion capability (maybe it would show up, turn into a weaker version of your character that could only use regular, non-Special attacks).

Well I just had the most hilarious ending to a For Fun match in Smash.

Caught a Captain Falcon and Mac in Rosie's FS, and the latter racked up almost 400 damage before both of them got sent flying. Those two lone K Os won me the match.

Oh my gosh, Twitch Plays Smash Bros. is so much fun! I played for about 2 hours and here's what went down.

They totally For Glory'd it out with other players, whom were probably extremely confused. The number of lost matches reached astronomical levels!

Eventually however, the b button was hit enough kicking us out of online, and we managed to spazz our way to normal Smash where the real hilarity began.

Captain Falcon falcon punched...a lot.

Apparently they've unlocked a few characters, and their battle unlocking Bowser Jr. apparently took about 3 hours.

Also, Palutena's a pole dancer.

Shulk was really feeling it!

Pac-Man is a normal-type Pokemon.

Shimmey over to the left!

Lonk has to beat Ganandork

Gay Man Watch

We also faced off against three challengers, the first being Game & Watch whom we beat with Ike, who's pretty good with combos when being controlled by hundreds!

Then Ganondorf, where we almost fell down the broken bridge, theb somehow managed to jump up, when then the witches iced the side of the stage we were on, causing both characters to get hurt, and Ganondorf managed to die first!

Lastly we faced off against Lucina, where most matches consisted of us hurling ourselves off the stage with smash attacks. The last try was with Captain Falcon, and you can probably guess what happened.

That's not even the best part of the night though, at least for me. This may seem kinda bad and childish to do, but since this was the Twitch Plays Pokemon stream, I just HAD to get in on some of the infamous pausing. I didn't do it too much, but every now and then I would. The best/worst part was I hit pause, and when my command was entered in and it paused, the stream kinda froze a little and no commands could be entered in so it was just stuck on the pause menu for about 30 seconds. Me and my friend were dying of laughter, and everyone in the chat was freaking out, all because I paused.

It happened again later though when someone paused, so it might happen occasionally, but the other time wasn't as long as when I did it! smile

That was all I played, two more things though.

The AI on the challenger matches though were really weird, they barely attack us, especially Lucina who just stood there most of the time.

Also 1000 matches and you get Goku tongue

Sorry for the wall of text, but it was just so much fun!

Edit: OH GEEZ, it is really long, hope that's not a problem.

"Today I annoyed two-thousand people at the same time. smile"

Haha, but yeah, it's cool, you keep doing your thing. wink

I'm really curious, though, the AI for, say, Lucina, was already really low from the start, right? I wonder how high it was set for the very first challenger. It's basically impossible for Twitch to beat the challengers I had to face, who were probably level 9, so I guess it probably puts the first challenger at some low level, then readjusts it based on how often you lose, or on whether you beat them on the first try. That would explain why Twitch's challengers stand around doing nothing while mine started out not being an issue and proceeded to get so strong they actually beat me a few times.

... On another note, if the Direct is streamed on the Nintendo website, does that mean it's actually hosted there, so I can actually watch it in spite of being in Germany? I mean all the streams you could watch on the Smash Bros site were just embedded Youtube videos, so that didn't help me at all.
