Oh, hey, if we're talking event matches, that one where you play a variation on the Game & Watch Parachute entry as Falco definitely stands out as a good one.

I sure said that!

I find the best stradegy against opponents with heavy projectiles is to let myself get hit by the 1st one each time...dodging pretty much everything else they do for a short while and allowing yourself to move closer faster than normal and follow up with an air attack...

[up][up][up][up]Hey, look at that, first two threads on this board.

Granted, Brazil is pretty big, but from what I gathered in those threads (I don't speak Portuguese) it seems Brazil even has its own forum for Smash. Might be able to find a scene close by.

(If this post comes across as condescending I'm sorry. Just trying to encourage people to go to tournaments)

I have no idea how I'd get into a tournament either, but that's just because I have no idea where I'd look for something like that... And I have transportation issues and I'm perpetually penniless and it really doesn't matter because this isn't about me.

I'm sure you'll find a way to get to a tournament eventually Moon! No idea how, or when, but eventually :)

[up][up][up] Those threads are more for the people to meet up and play together.

That forum though... Maybe, I dunno. I think the scene in Brazil is really small and I'm not sure if that's going to work or not.

I did look at it and apparently the winner of the latest Sm4sh tournament they did there was a Greninja main so that's something interesting at least.

The Little Mac amiibo may have been discontinued ?!

Aw man I may have to actually preorder some of these. After I'd sworn off preordering . But it seems like that's the only way I'll be able to get any of the new ones ...

Jesus, Nintendo really doesn't care about the merchandise of non-Mario/Pokemon/Kirby franchises.

I have a story idea in my head:

When Pigma (from Star Fox) ends up destroying the Mushroom Kingdom, killing Peach, Mario kills him in retaliation. Mario ends up forming a Regime with most characters from Nintendo's A-tier franchises (except for Luigi,Rosalina, Wario, the Kong family, Zelda, and Lucario at first. Eventually Bowser, Bowser Jr., Dedede, and Meta Knight don't join/defect to the resistance). Said regime is toppling governments and essentially take over the world. In response, General Peppet contacts Fox to form a resistance, consisting of characters from Nintendo's B-tier franchises (Some of them including: Pit, Captain Falcon, Little Mac, Marth,Shulk, and Ness. There is definitely more) and third party franchises (Snake, Mega Man, and definitely Sonic would NOT side with a regime. Their allies would also side with the resistance). The villains from the b-tier and third party franchises would side with the regime after some brainwashing. Ganondorf and Mewtwo willingly join the Regime. Kirby, Pikachu, characters from c-tier franchises and other Pokemon are also brainwashed. Luigi, Zelda, Lucario, and the Kongs align themselves with the resistance.

I am unsure on what side Pac Man would align with. Either Mario's regime or Fox's resistance. Viridi and Dark Pit would not align themselves with either. Wario would only join either side based on his payment.

This is what happens when I listen to the SSB soundtrack and read the TV Tropes page of Injustice; Gods Among Us.

Why Pigma. He's so...non-prominent.

And I wouldn't say they don't care about the other franchises. I always see plenty of Zelda stuff at Hot Topic.

[up] I had to think of a Star Fox villain that would basically be The Joker. Andross is dead, and Andrew I envision as a member of the Regime.

If you want, Fawful could suffice. Or the Shadow Queen from TTYD.

Andross never dies. He's always got some plan floating around.

In fact, hardly anyone ever dies in Nintendo unless they're like a one-time boss.

It's less that they don't care and more that they seemed to have severely underestimated how well received the Smash amiibo were going to be. At least they realized this and plan to re-release them as cards sometime down the line.

But if you're talking about other Nintendo merch aside from Pokemon and Mario (Kart) with the occasional Zelda stuff, it's probably because they don't anticipate anything other than those franchises selling well outside of Japan.

You know, I think I'm going to start training with Megaman and see if I can get any good results.

I don't think I'll ever have a set secondary at this rate.

I sorta know the feeling, I'm still trying to decide on a main! There's just so many options and everyone has good points >_<

[up][up]I wonder how long it'll take before you just start selecting "Random" when you want to play a secondary...

Mega Man's unorthodox, but I'm sure you'll get the hang of him easily. You just have to be wary of people that can reflect or nullify his projectile game. I found the biggest thing to get used to was his standard attacks, personally.

I just tried to use him in a match in the Smash Ladder against an Ike and I still managed to win despite very little practice with the guy, I barely won, but still.

I rarely feel much input lag when playing. Of course, I would play better if it was in person, but it's not bad.

The net-code for this game is pretty freaking good. If you had that kind of lag is either an internet problem on your end, or on your opponent's.
