I'm a big fan of Sakurai's wife's menu design, personally. It's neat and organized yet fun and interactive.

So, apparently Conquest mode counts whichever fighter you contributed the most points to or something. I made sure to play as Sonic, Shiek and Greninja's in the one that just ended, and it didn't count my using Greninja in the victory screen. I contributed 6 points to Shiek, 5 to Sonic, and 2 to Greninja.

How should I use equipment in this game?

Like, I heard that apparently it's the popular thing to beef up Bowser with defensive equipment because he's slow anyway, for example.

I'm (trying) to use the Mii Swordfighter (who is tall and thin, I heard your Mii's size ratios affect how it works or something but I don't know anything concrete about that), Dark Pit (because black hair > brown hair...no other reason, really) and Robin (if I ever manage to get that annoying use management thing down.)

I'm usually getting up close with the Mii Swordfighter so I was thinking speed, but I don't really seem to have any moves on it that can ring out other fighters well so Attack might be more important to compensate. I heard Robin is more of a range person and is really slow so I'm guessing Attack would be the most useful? And no idea about what I should get Dark Pit.

You need to spoiler tag Dark Pit there. He hasn't been officially revealed yet. Also, Pit has a black haired alt. :P

You should base your equipment out of what you want for the character you're building, in my opinion. Some people like to load up on Attack/Speed gear and blitz through everything, others (like me usually) try to make sure the stats are balanced so that there isn't a drastic change in how the character plays. Still others simply use equipment that gives particular bonus benefits (like Auto-Healer or Critical Hitter). So it's really up to you (and I suppose what modes you plan to use the equipment in; I have different set ups based on whether I'm doing Classic Mode or Smash Run... And I don't use equipment for regular battles).

I figured that with how quickly I managed to get Dark Pit unlocked it wouldn't really be a problem except for people who don't have the game, sorry. I wasn't able to find a black haired Pit alt though. Maybe I just didn't press the alternate color button enough?

Right, but considering how much of a shitstorm Dark Pit's presence in the ESRB leak's roster caused (mostly because a lot of people were expecting him to be Pit's alt, ala Olimar & Alph, instead of being a separate character), apparently that isn't enough (same deal with Mr. Game & Watch showing up in Pac-Man's trailer). From what I've understood, he'll need to show up in a Miiverse post, a Direct/Treehouse stream, or in one of the "official" pic dumps (where he's a central character in a set of them, which will probably happen alongside Dr. Mario and Mr. Game & Watch) before he's considered "revealed", as far as this thread is concerned.

[up][up]It's his fifth alt color.

If his name didn't get caption'd(veterans aside), he's not revealed. Besides, his profile didn't go up right after the trailer, so it was not a reveal by the site's standards alone. Same with Mr. Game & Watch.

Anyway, All-Star seems a lot easier. I'm guessing because you have to fight around 7 guys at once, so they had to make it more reasonable, even on Hard.

I have a feeling my circle pad won't be around it I keep Smashing. I've already lost the rubber coating some time ago.

Just be careful with how hard you move it and it should be fine.

Fore everyone that's worried about their circle pad, the rubber part of my circle pad came off over a week ago and the pad itself still works just fine. The lack of rubber doesn't feel as nice though sad

I can't quite understand what the game's telling me about the update. Does it mean that it will no longer tell us who is ahead while a conquest is still in progress?

If so, that makes sense, because it means that whatever way the conquest went in the first few hours was the way the conquest would go, period, as the winner/loser side became apparent fast.

That's exactly what the update does, which is how it should've been from the start.

I think I might still be too innocent to notice the innuendo tongue

Anyway, I can still play just fine with my circle pad, but I'm afraid it will end up detaching itself from the 3DS soon.

Oh. In that case, ifixit has got you covered. Granted, you need to order the replacement part and have the right size screwdriver, but it's a lot cheaper than a new system. I used the site to fix my R button so I can vouch for the site's reliability.
