Hey there! Having fun?

Fuck the new Stage Builder and how it doesn't let you edit parts that you've already placed. My hand is shaky and the Gamepad is overly sensitive.

About the Stage Builder: does it still have that factory background from Brawl? I know it has plains and I think I saw a lava background in a video.

I haven't seen it yet. I don't know if you unlock more stuff for it or not. (I hope we do, though. A lot of parts I liked are missing.)

It's a damn shame we can't edit what songs play in stages in the 3DS version. I don't want to hear Ashley's Song, Wrath of the Reset Bomb, or Live and Learn.

Don't want to hear Live and Learn

There's something wrong with that sentence, in that I physically cannot comprehend it.

There are times I really wish you could trade Friend Codes in With Anyone. I played about a half-dozen FFA matches the other day with someone named Kevin, and we ended up picking the same fighters three times. We were roughly even as Little Mac as the first match ended in a Sudden Death between us, he was the better Bowser, and I was better as Ike. I would have liked to play against him more regularly, as we seemed roughly equal in skill.

There was another player named Raymundo a while back that I managed to play 4 For Fun matches 1-on1, and we each won two bouts. I was looking forward to a tie-breaker, but then a third player joined and stomped us both.

[Late comment] Aw, that's kind of cute. [lol]note 

@5-Volt responses: She doesn't sound too bad then. I kind of anticipating that stage to be one of my favorites once I get used to it. To be honest, just by looking at the Wii U stages, I feel that it has somewhat better stage selection compared to the 3DS version.

Yes. There was no jiggling in that trailer, just a couple Male Gaze shots.tongue

My point was more about Samus being an athlete than her figure anyway. Palutena's a goddess and the majority of her fighting ability comes from that aspect of her more than anything.

This joke might not be accurate as of version 1.0.4, but that won't change me making it. >:3

Palutena: Well, anything an angel could do, a goddess could do better.

(Palutena ends up bottom tier)

Say, how does Palutena fight in the hands of a good fighter?

[up] Much like all characters, she's pretty threatening in the right hands. While the Goddess is bottom tier, the tier gaps are pretty small, especially compared to past games.

Yes, that is good news. Even the bottom-most bottom tier is still a mighty threat in the right hands.

So, what tactics does a good player use with Palutena?

I'm not too great with Palutena, but I'd recommend using the Side-B to sneak in small hits via reflecting projectiles. Also, don't be afraid to use Smash attacks, especially her Up Smash for edge-guarding.
But there are certainly better players who could give better tips with her than I.
[down] Well, I was talking in a For Glory setting, so I've only messed with her default moveset.

Given how vastly different her custom specials are, it likely depends greatly on who you're fighting. It's possible that Palutena is this game's Snake in that she'll start out really low tier until people realize that she's Difficult, but Awesome.

Personally, when I finally get the game, I'm going to make it my mission to become amazing with Palutena before going online and wrecking some scrubs.

Something I really need to say- Celestial Fireworks helps Palutena immensely. It has a bit of end lab but it comes out way faster than any of her other attacks- It's like a poke version of her Up Smash.

I sure said that!

A shame Celestial Fireworks is facing competition from Lightweight, which is probably the best out of Palutena's specials.

#64945: Nov 26th 2014 at 9:43:36 AM

Speaking of Lightweight, what's the main difference between that and Super Speed? Is having both in one moveset useful or just a waste of time?note 

And I agree that Celestial Fireworks is pretty amazing for her, especially since I find her Counter lackluster and I'm still unsure how to utilize Lightweight well (I've heard that it's good for her, but no explanations as to why).

Superspeed is a dash, while Lightweight just boosts her speed and jumping, it's really good since it makes Palutena become quite the thing in the air, what with she jumping super-high and fast, you can easily star KO someone by catching them in the air with up-air after sending them upwards with an up-smash for instance.

There's also a glitch that makes Lightweight last forever that wasn't patched.

And meanwhile Super Speed, like he said, is a non-controlled dash which knocks enemies away.

It's actually just the same as it was in KIU, which is nice.

...for some reason, I just envisioned the idea of one of Palutena's moves being Fortune's Jukebox

Does anyone have any clue how to do the event where you're Kirby with 100-ish percent and have to eat to heal? That one is insanely difficult.
I can't even do it on easy... :(
[down] Alright, thanks a bunch. I'll give it another try when I get the chance. grin

[up]I had trouble with that one as well. I eventually found that cycling around the stage and just eating whatever I found along the way helped. Always stay in motion, or the Dededes gang up on you.

Jeez, I spent almost 3 hours trying to beat the last event on hard before I succeeded. Good thing we're on Thanksgiving break...

Okay, is the "View every fighter's Final Smash" challenge bugged or something? I've definitely used everybody's Final Smash at this point.
