Meanwhile, ROB being "Last of His Kind" is only brought up in the US version, it seems.

Not sure why Charizard's Japanese one is apparently "New Evolution".

It could be a reference to his Mega Evolution?

Anyway, pretty nice. I hope they do more comparisons for tons of other games on the site.

Beat Marth's 12-minute 9.0 Classic challenge. 12 left.

I didn't like it and I kept losing lives, but at least it's another one gone.

I discovered a random thing in Training Mode today: If you go off the screen as Pac-Man while using his Final Smash, he comes back out the other side of the screen like he's in a Pac-Man maze.

The legend has returned.

[up][up]Well it'd be weird to not do that. Transformation Smashes don't get blast lined anyway, so Pac Man should take advantage of the situation.

I've never understood why the default battle settings in Smash are the timed battles as opposed to stock, the type of match everyone plays.

AAAAUUUUGGGHHHH!!!!

#68658: Jan 26th 2015 at 8:38:12 PM

Oh that's not true. When I decided that I didn't like how stock battles awarded my teammates the front spot when we won just because I lost one life even though my score was way higher than theirs, I switched to timed battles.

Which is fairer anyway in team battles, because after one player is out, that team is at a big disadvantage.

Now I mostly use stock battles just for free-for-alls.

Except you can kinda take other players' stocks. A+B when you're out. It only matters when everyone is at their last stock.

Keybreak (Long Runner)
#68660: Jan 26th 2015 at 9:19:50 PM

But your teammates apparently never share stock. At least not with each other, and I'm not sure if you can give them one of yours, but I'm pretty sure that they can give you one of theirs.

And the enemy team will always share, which always allows them to have the most team members they can on the stage. but fortunately they'll share even when their damage is really high, so they can still be easy to knock out.

So by "that team", I mostly mean the human player's. ;p

Dunno about you, every time I play with friends they always prefer stock, free-for-all or not. They just adjust the amount of stocks to accommodate.

Time is a good choice for more casual free-for-all matches, since it means everyone will be playing until the timer runs out. If there's only two parties involved- Regardless of whether those parties consist of one, two, three or four players- Then Stock is definitely preferable, of course.

I sure said that!

I have a question, my Link amiibo is really bad and it usually got eliminated first when I fought with it and 2 other amiibos, they are all maxed out, but Link had -200 defense, which one has a greater impact on an amiibo, the skill of the person training it or the stats you raise? It was the first amiibo I used when I bought the game so I was pretty bad when I practiced with it.

amiibos aren't like god CPU's—they're still susceptible to numbers. -200 defense would wipe out the best players ever.

My own Mario amiibo will still lose to me if I use my custom Mario against him.

Oh right, I'll have to lower his speed to raise his defense I suppose.

Well, the best players ever can probably avoid getting hit at all depending on whom they're playing against. tongue

I prefer stock even in free-for-alls because time gives a big advantage to characters with high KO power.

Keybreak (Long Runner)
#68668: Jan 27th 2015 at 12:17:48 AM

I still wish that there was a mode based on how much damage you do as opposed to how many KO's you get.

KO's are easy. Damage means you gotta really get in there.

Nah, that's just a 1-stock match where your damage percentage goes down instead of up, and then you "die". tongue

I'm talking about a timed mode where final scores are calculated based on how much damage you did. KO's don't matter.

So...I dunno what would be different. Probably that getting knocked out wouldn't be such a problem.

That'd just make quick characters that can chip away easily the best, ie Sonic, and slower character would have no chance.

I've lost and won matches due to finesse-based K Os involving ledge shenanigans and the like at low percentages. It's kinda what makes Smash Smash I think.

I love the Special Flag.

It's just so fun to use.

Is this a Jo Jo reference?

Is it just me, or does the Smash Ball just seem more out of reach in this game than in Brawl.

I've owned the game for months now, yet I only know a handful of character's final smashes, partly because people I play with turn the Smash Ball off, and partly because I just can't get it!

It became even more obvious when I went to that Streetpass event, and friggin hunted that thing down, smacking it and smacking it. But still no luck, it just doesn't seem to like me. No matter how much I hunt it, I just don't get it. sad

Not that I haven't gotten it ever, but for the most part it escapes my reach, while in Brawl I managed to get it fairly often. What's so different about it?

Even with these awkward wings, dyed with images that seem to stay. I'm sure we can fly, on my love! 3DS Friend Code: 2809-9138-8756
