So we've talked about mains...did we ever talk about punching bags?

Mine always seem to be Lucario and Greninja. Not just because I feel like they replaced Mewtwo and Squirtle (though those are big reasons), but because counterbugs always bother me and I need to practice against them.

I call anybody who uses counter a lot a "counterbug". One of my weird neologisms.

I'll also fight against Bowser, Ganondorf and Wario a lot because they're villains, though I like using Bowser and Ganondorf. They're such hard hitters.

Wario is still gross though.

For me, the Doc has been my CPU rival because I always fought him in Melee and I always seemed to lose against him. Now, whenever I test out new special moves in Training, I always pick the Doc as the opponent.

The legend has returned.

99% of the time, I set the CPU to random and see what I get regardless of mode. I actually forgot I could set the CPU fighters in Smash Run for a while because of that!

I usually just fight against characters/characters made as a Mii that I like and ignore everyone else.

Though I wouldn't mind using Peach as a punching bag because I really hate her.

Have any of you guys, prior to the announcement of the Mii fighter, dreamed of seeing non-video game characters in a SSB game? I definitely have...and the roster ideas exceeded the number of characters in SSB 4's final roster. Even my Mii fighter count exceeds the amount of non-Mii characters in SSB 4 (excluding characters that cameo: Slippy, Viridi, Krystal, Wolf, Peppy, Leon, Panther. And also excluding Poke Ball/Master Ball Pokemon, Bosses, and Assist Trophies)

Half-relatedly, I'm really loving Charizard in this game now. He's so strong and his down smash is so useful and after I switch out his Flare Blitz for Dragon Rush I've been able to make him devastating. For me at least.

I'd be tempted to get a Charizard amiibo...I just wonder if any game in the future will use him too.

I feel like having Pokemon amiibos would raise your type power in non-mainline games. Like, Charizard would raise Fire and/or Flying, Greninja would raise Water and/or Dark, Lucario would raise Fighting and/or Steel, Jigglypuff would raise Normal and/or Fairy and Pikachu would raise Electric and/or...Grass? Just to have two. You find it in grass more often than caves anyway.

Mewtwo would be Psychic and maybe Ice. I dunno. But you'd need some more for the rest of the Types.

[up][up][up] I actually prefer the song of the first phase more tongue

I also always set up the CPU to random in training unless I want to test a very specific thing. I don't really hate a character that much (though I hate dealing with Diddy and ROB with a passion) that I'd use them as punching bags.

I'm curious to know if anyone else other than me had dreamed about non-video game characters being in SSB until the announcement of the Mii fighters.

RE: Punching bags: I don't hate any character, but if I'm training, the idea goes like this:

  • Intentionally testing specific moves on opponents of certain weight classes: Mario, Bowser, Jigglypuff
  • Just standard training: Same character I'm playing as or Random

This has been my mindset in the training mode of any game. I only tend to pick a single specific character if there happens to be one that the Training Mode defaults to (like Ayane in the Dead or Alive's training mode, in which case I'll pick Ayane for every training session).

RE: Lack of "C-R-O-W-N-E-D": Yeah, Sakurai seems to (perhaps subconsciously) mostly add in things that are related to the Kirby titles he's worked on or the games that existed during the time he was working on them. It's a shame too.

I was actually hoping that the Kirby stage for Wii U was going to be Another Dimension, with the stage hazards being randomly placed bosses from throughout the series, who would swoop in to perform an attack and then leave (from my hopes, the bosses would include Whispy Woods, Kracko, Heavy Lobster, Dark Matter, Marx, Drawcia Sorceress, Sphere Doomer & Grand Doomer, Magolor & Magolor Soul, Sectonia & Dreamstalked!Sectonia).

Just the cd things.

Otherwise, you'll be able to sit on it for a while.

Oh good.

So something I find it quite funny and sad is that Zelda seems to have become this franchise's Butt-Monkey as far as competitive play is concerned. I've seen a lot of jokes made at Zelda's expense and most of those come from people who main her.

So I decided to take Zelda for a spin on For Glory today.

Was significantly less painful than I expected. My win rate still suffered though.

Well, Ash will probably end up with a Greninja in the anime, so yeah...

For punching bags, well, I tend to fight level 8 CP Us (no imput reading cheating), but I rotate them. Still used to Bowser, ever since Melee.

Yeah, a lot of good Zelda players can use teleport to knock people out. I've seen them throw people, then hit them twice (once teleporting out, the other teleporting in) to send them offscreen.

Farore's Wind is a lot more useful of a move than people give it credit for.

Whew! I just beat Kirby's Crazy Appetite on hard. I'm surprised I finished it almost as soon as I began to seriously attempt it.
