I don't find myself using alt skins that much, but I do like the Chrom Ike skin. evil grin

Wow, Customer, you use pretty much all of Greninja's alts tongue

Other than Black/Shiny, yes. He's one of the few characters that I basically pick any alt for (I think Mega Man, Rosalina, and Peach are in the same boat).

Well I use Crystal Ring Sonic, grey Mr. Game & Watch, and that's out of who I normally main.

Thinking of picking up Yoshi, but that makes me sad that I can't pick a random 'Yoshi' colour. :'|

I keep trying, but I can't beat All Stars on Hard with Fox. Too much for me. Any particular advice for that?

Fox was like the first fighter I beat All Star on Hard with, but then he's always been one of my high mains.

I find him really easy though. He's so fast, he's got such direct smashes, and good evasive moves.

He's like an Arwing in furry form. tongue

I can't beat Hard All-Star as Sonic.

I got up to the second final stage ONCE, and I got KO'd cause I couldn't heal at all.

What advice would you give in terms of avoiding damage and when to use what healing item?

I was playing ''Wii U" with my friends, we did a good deal of stages (i'm aiming for us to play every stage over the weekend), so we got to Yoshi's Island Melee.

When we were on Woolly World, I was Dedede, one of them was Kirby, the other was Sonic, and the CPU opponent was my Mii of Zuko. Both me and Sonic were down to our last lives, with the Sonic player using Sonic's dash attack to keep me at bay. So when he tried to use it to KO me, I put up my shield, grabbed him, and threw him off the stage.

There was also a funny moment in that match, the Kirby player used stone on the thing that tilts, and he self-destructed![lol]

Greninja's crippling flaw: His standing grab is aaaaaawful. It takes too long to actually grab the opponent and so he can't grab people out of shield efficiently.

[up]speaking of Greninja, one of my friends played as Greninja when we were on Mario Circuit Brawl, and he couldn't get a KO at all. He got second, but lost because I was Dark Pit and used his side-B.

@Numbuh1234: Aside from practicing more with Sonic, I'd say to try to finish at least two or three matches in All-Star without trying to heal with the Heart Containers. If the Fairy Bottle is present in Hard, then use that as your first healing item. My basic strat regardless of character and mode is to save the Heart Containers and Fairy Bottle for the last few matches, that way you can top off for the harder fights.

Note that I haven't played Hard All-Star yet (and even if I did, it'd be on the 3DS), so I don't know if the healing items are changed for it like they are in the Kirby games.

You need to have over 100% damage for it to activate.

Have to be over 100% and it heals for 100%.

Well there's a Tomato, a Fairy Bottle, and two Hearts at the Rest Area, and after every battle but the 7th takes you back to the Rest Area. So going three battles without healing garantees that I'll be healed every battle after that. Excellent.

My strategy for playing All Star on Hard:

  • Wait until you have over %100 and take the Fairy Bottle.
  • Take the Maximum (haw) Tomato some time in the middle of the All Star to heal a little damage
  • Wait to take a Heart Container until the last two stages or if you have %150 or more and you already used the Fairy Bottle.

Other tips:

  • Don't take the Maximum Tomato if you have less than %50 unless you're at the last stage
  • Be willing to take a risk and skip a heal so you can use it when you really need it

That's pretty much how I got through everybody's Hard All-Star except Villager's, because he cannot smash for nuts.

That's what I was doing.

It hasn't worked out x.x

Thanks for the tips anyways.

Also, smashes are your friends.

You can't fight All Stars like you do normal matches. It's a tag-team 3-on-1 where their resistance is really low and yours is really high, which means that you can't rely on just racking up damage. You gotta make good well-placed hits.

Also, get pretty good with who you're using.

[up][up][up]Yep, pretty much how to do it, although I sometimes use the Maxim Tomato first depending on how hurt I am.

[up][up]Yeah, like I said, you still have to practice with Sonic enough to actually make use of those tips. tongue

#68524: Jan 24th 2015 at 7:43:13 PM

Oh god.

I got to third round, almost at 150% so I used the bottle. In the fight, I managed to reach over 200% freaking percent, and KO Diddy Kong. I NEARLY KO'd Ness shortly after, but Pikachu managed to KO me. I was at 296% damage when I got KO'd.

ARGH!

EDIT: Oh, and I got all of Sonic's Custom Moves. Sweet.

Having Spewpa, a middle evolution, in as a Poke Ball Pokemon is an interesting design choice. I figured Vivillon was the most popular of its line, especially what with being Pokemon #666.

Also, is it me, or is Palutena one of the most annoying opponents to face, despite supposedly being one of the worst characters? I think that's because CP Us using Palutena tend to rely on smash attacks more often than those using many of the other characters.

Call me Willy Whistle 'cause I can't speak, baby. Something in TV Tropes really drove me crazy.
