I'll have to check those menus out when I switch from Smash to Animal Crossing soon. I'm currently using one based on Sonic Boom, mostly because it's free, but partly because I actually enjoy the TV show.

Also, the current contest is "Omega Ruby vs Alpha Sapphire". Charizard and Pikachu are in Team Ruby while Greninja and Lucario head up Team Sapphire. I assume Pikachu's mainly with Charizard because it's the series' mascot, despite not being red. tongue I thought it was an amusing touch.

Since I brought it up, is the Wii U contest the same?

I'm probably going to be too busy actually playing Alpha Sapphire to help out in this conquest...

I went with Ruby, since that's what I originally got way back when and what I'll be getting this time around. Plus, the Greninja nerfs likely mean they won't see much use online.

On that note, I was surprised the Green team won the previous Conquest. Blue team seemed to have a lot of fighters I saw a lot of online.

I gotta go with Ruby. Charizard is the only one I'm good with.

My brother brought me over to his friend's house. Said friend has Smash Wii U.

... Amazing. Amazing. I LOVE IT!

It puts the 3DS version to utter shame.

Also, Pyrosphere is my new favorite stage. It's quite hectic, but in a strangely fun and enjoyable way.

The 3DS version is still great for an on-the-go pick-up-and-play type game, but Wii U is clearly meant to be the definitive version. I can see now why they came out in the order that they did. Nothing against 3DS, but playing it after Wii U would have given me a somewhat unfair underwhelming impression.

Except 3DS has Magicant.

And on a more concrete note, a mode that isn't entirely composed of versus matches.

Same. Magicant was my favorite stage.

... But we got Pyrosphere now.

3DS and Wii U are very comparable, actually, and both have their own perks over the other. I prefer the 3DS version in terms of stage choice and also for it's take on Classic Mode, more unlockable characters, and exclusive Smash Run Mode.

I agree they did a surprisingly good job of making both versions cohesive yet distinct enough from each other that they're both totally worthwhile. I think I like Smash Run the best of the exclusive modes as well, though saying that is kind of moot since I tend to spend more time in the normal battle modes anyway.

I gotta say, it's both funny and sad how this game feels more finished and polished than nearly every other major triple-A title released this year.

And once again, I can't stress enough how amazing the main theme is. Best one in Smash history.

Would there ever be a Smash game that doesn't feel finished...even with all the minor yet very big glitches you can find in them?

To some extent, I feel a Smash Bros. game almost by definition can never feel truly, 100% finished by simple virtue of what it is and what it relates to.

I sure said that!

I think I'm mostly going to avoid Crazy Hand Orders for the time being, mostly because I don't like unlocking things through failure. I'd prefer it if you lost everything you earned upon losing, but I'm most definitely in the minority for that.

Though most of my defeats in Crazy Hand Orders have been of the "split second defeat snatched from otherwise sure victory," so I'll probably start consistently winning those almost immediately.

Also, Master and Crazy Hand Orders run on the RPG trope of having the main character be the only important one (in stock modes), even in team battles, which is kind of annoying sometimes.

Ugh, clearing Classic on 9.0 without losing a single stock is going to be the epitome of bullshit if I can't end up hammering it. Especially because of Master Fortress and his bullshit walls.

Got everyone. 8-player Smash is a thing of beauty. So chaotic, yet so mesmerizing. And I even managed to get an all regal ladies match.

So I'm playing on Wrecking Crew, engaged in a training session with Mayor Pain (Villager amiibo), and I recently summoned Phosphora half way through the match. I use my Lloid Rocket and all of a sudden, I find myself having moved in the opposite direction, to the right side of the field.

That aside I'm trying to get him to Pocket items, but he seems to be more prone to using that Bowling Ball.

[up][up]Peach, Zelda, Sheik, Rosalina, Lucina, F Robin, Palutena, and Wendy. Sheik is sort of a stretch, but she's close enough to count.

Edit: Also got an all animals match with DK, Diddy, Duck Hunt, Fox, Falco, Pikachu, Greninja, and Sonic. Then a magic match with Peach, Rosalina, Zelda, Ganondorf, Palutena, Robin, Lucario, and Ness. Though Ganondorf and Lucario are a bit of a stretch. Well, Dorf does use magic, and Aura is pretty magic-like.

Aura is basically Supernatural Martial Arts so I'd say it qualifies. So is there a way to unlock ROB(Do I still need to do this?) besides dealing with the Crazy Orders or fighting 60 battles? Both would take longer than I'd like.
