Playing online Smash Bros — particularly For Glory — has made me realize that I am not as good at Smash Bros as I once thought I was. It's a good thing I think losing is fun.

It's also introduced me to a strategy that can absolutely destroy Little Mac in 1-on-1. It's basically just play as ZSS, wait by the edge for Mac to get close, use your ridiculous grab to throw him towards the edge, and then do that down-B kickflip thingy to punt him downwards. Mac's vertical recovery sucks too hard to come back from it.

Same, but I never thought I was all that good to begin with, in all honesty. At most I'd say I possess some casual skill and some solid theoretical knowledge of what the mechanics can do, but when it comes to putting it into practice, I come up short. Of course, there's always those chance fights where I get pleasantly reminded that I'm not as bad as I think I am either. tongue

Still trying to pick up some secondaries alongside my main, Link. Learning Shulk, relearning Ike, and having trouble with Robin. I've kinda dropped Fox due to aversion to his voice, but honestly he seems like he'd be good as a secondary for me.

I still have Mac troubles, but I'm always amused when my opponent rage-Mac's.

[up] If anyone ever makes For Wii U hacks, the only one I really want is a voicepack replacement to make Fox's voice his Brawl voice again.

Maybe we can get impossibly lucky and they'll make that DLC. Hell, I might even chuck a dollar or two at them to get rid of Fox's current voice.

I got surprised with a Fox Amiibo, and I've been spending the latter part of today getting really, really attached to him. I can't help it, he's so cute!

(I'm gonna have to come up with a better name than "Fluff Hunt", though.)

Been playing For Glory a little bit, and I've improved very quickly because of it. I played a ton of Smash with some friends today, and I swear I'm better than I was a few days ago.

Everybody's All-Star Mode on Hard is so frustrating...I keep getting KO'd so close to the ending which just means I have to do it ALL OVER AGAIN. Then I forget who I finished with because it still saves your didn't-make-it-all-the-way score on the character select screen.

So, anyone here partial to Suited Samus? I find myself maining her quite a lot now that I've gotten to play Smash 4, despite rarely using her in past Smash Bros.

@Durazno Yes but it takes so much time, like two whole minutes.

@Soopor I use her way more now. I used to play Zero Suit Samus a lot in Brawl, but Armor Samus seems like she's got a whole lot more punch to her now.

[up] My favorite thing about her are the Missiles, especially the Super Missiles. One of my favorite projectiles in the game. Of course, her Smash Attack game is nothing to sneeze at, either.

I also use ZS Samus more now, what with her Rocket-Jump-Kick-Thing and the ease of just picking her on the menu screen. I never could get the combo of buttons right on Brawl to start a match with her for some reason.

Reg. Samus doesn't really fit me very well...I have no problem using her, but there's only so many ways to make her come random and it doesn't work.

So hey Customer, you mentioned you thought Falco was my secondary instead of Samus. It just so happens that lately I've been having more success with him than with her after some practice
I just figure that Falco suits your style more than Samus, so I'm not surprised. tongue

@Customer And I just hammered those challenges, which may have been too early because I did bring my 3DS to the midnight release of Smash Wii U and got to play with some other people, but I didn't check to see if I had tagged anybody.
Well, right after I mentioned it, I just went into Practice Mode and got the Street Smash KOs that way, although I honestly couldn't tell when I KO'd anybody by knocking them into each other. And I kind of wish that the game let me know which Challenge Panels I used my hammers on (so far, I've used one hammer each for Challenge Panels 1 and 2, and none on 3).

In other news, this happened at yesterday's Smash 4 tournament. I'm not sure how I feel about it (Lucario's Aura stacking with Rage I mean)...
EDIT: Oh, for context, the match is here at 4:06:00.

Yeah, Lucario gets pretty ridiculous as his damage gets higher since he becomes able to kill ridiculously early.

On another note, I found out that Substitute is a much better move than I initially thought. It has a very interesting property to it if you aim it upwards: It always strikes right on top of where the opponent is, so the hitbox for is active earlier than for other angles. That also gives it the benefit of, for instance, if Link is camping you from the other side of FD, you could use Substitute one of his arrows and aim it up, which would make Greninja reappear all the way where Link is, possibly punish him and, if he shields, you're going far up enough that he can't punish you for it anyway, so it's a great tool to approach characters with projectiles.

Interestingly, even if Luma hits you while it's separated from Rosalina, aiming a Substitute upwards will target Rosalina instead of Luma.

Greninja has so many little tricks to him, everytime I find out those little things just makes me love the character even more.

Greninja's camouflage attack is so satisfying to pull off.

You know, I used to kinda dislike that they went with the name "Duck Hunt" for the dog and duck when they could've just called them...y'know, "Dog and Duck." Certainly rolls off the tongue better than "Rosalina and Luma."

But then I saw Pit's Duck Hunt guidance, and when Palutena said that they're actually a trio and not a duo, it clicked for me. The character of "Duck Hunt," being the dog, a duck, and the hunter with the Zapper, is literally the entire cast of Duck Hunt. It's actually the most appropriate name for them.

Not really a point to this, just me musing.

I feel like in many ways that both Duck Hunt and Ros & Luma are replacements for Ice Climbers. Seeing as the Ice Climbers were pretty much staples at this point, I am very much hoping that there will be DLC to bring them back, if possible.

#66121: Dec 17th 2014 at 7:24:33 AM

I don't think Ice Climbers are ever going to return in this installment. It was already said they don't work in the 3DS version properly and the roster has to be the same in both versions.

I also suspect there were lag issues with Ice Climbers in the Wii U version too. Sakurai has said that 8 player Smash barely works as it is, so the possibility of having 16 characters on-screen at once would probably wreck the framerate.

He probably didn't mention it as being a reason for the Ice Climbers not being included because we weren't supposed to know about 8 Player Smash back then.

First thing I'm doing if that happens is I'm gonna have the Ice Climbers show Rosalina and Duck Hunt how it's done.

Also I'm going to recreate event 51 from Melee once I get Mewtwo, except I'm gonna be on the bad guy team.

Well, if nothing else I hope they bring them back in future installments.

The one other character I wouldn't mind coming back through DLC, is Wolf. I'm still puzzled as to why he didn't make it in, despite not being especially clone-y. If they just changed his Final Smash, I wouldn't even consider him a Fox clone.

Wii U defintely looks better but 3DS looks good for what it is.
