Really sucks all that wound up happening.

But in less serious news, this showed up on my recommended videos list today.

All I have to say is "ouch."

The Pikachu matches are so funny because Pikachu needs to get a ton of hits on Ganon just to take a stock off, while Ganon took both of his in like, 5 moves.

Ganondorf has trouble getting hits in, but when he does, he pretty much catches up in damage almost immediatelly. He's pretty much a comeback machine.

I'm head over heels by how good that Ganondorf played everything off. The end to the Pikachu matches got me literally cringing with how hard he got those wins, especially the last one. That was mega ballsy.

I talked with my brother about that while we were teaming online. Ganondorf is mega slow, but all the power he packs makes up for it.

I think Ganondorf's biggest struggle would be Greninja. Most of the really fast characters like Sheik and Pikachu take pretty long to KO Ganon due to his height and their lack of overall power, which allows Ganon to build rage and kill them very quickly as long as he gets finds one or two openings.

Greninja however is the overall most mobile character in the game with kill combos that are very easy to get on Ganondorf due to how often he leaves himself opens, plus Greninja has a lot more power behind his attacks. Ganon also has enough lag on his moves for Greninja to really abuse Substitute which kills Ganon below 100%.

Oh, and Greninja can camp Ganon for days with shurikens to rub salt into the wound. Everytime I see a Ganondorf online it's pretty much a free win to me, it's kinda sad really.

Speaking of Lucina's Cruel Smash challenge I really wish I'd saved a replay. I cheesed that with Counter and it looked so cool.

To be truly great a Ganon player has to be able to analyze their opponent. I have learned this the hard way. Now I'm good at it.

That was fun to watch. I wonder if it's bad that the music from the first match pretty much sold me for getting the Wii-U version... Though I was planning to get it if I ever get a Wii-U anyway tongue

So quick update on the APEX situation: apparently Twitch is funding a new location to hold the event at and people are gathering their setups and moving to the Garden State Convention Center. It seems APEX will be still be happening, but I don't know when it'll begin.

He's even more amazing with context. I'd give a link to it but I'm at school.

Are EVO and APEX acronyms? If yes, what do they mean?

APEX isn't an acronym, but EVO is short for Evolution.

I do certainly like the way Smash 4 looks right now, but I wonder what might have happened if Sakurai and crew took a more realistic approach to the art style like they did in Brawl.

I remember when I thought Brawl was the best-looking game ever to grace the Wii. Since that game was on less powerful hardware, now it looks really dated (Snake still looks okay, but Toon Link in a realistic setting...ugh). Would the Wii U have pulled it off, though, or are Nintendo characters simply better suited for a brighter color palette?

Nintendo folks in general are better suited for a bright color pallete.

Another issue with "realistic" graphics is that they become dated far easier than cartoony ones. Compare Twilight Princess with the original Wind Waker; the former shows its age and limited hardware, while the latter still holds up reasonably well, despite being older (however the HD remaster certainly blows it out of the water).

I cheesed the Lucina Cruel Smash challenge via Counter-spam as well.

The Swordfighters and Brawlers aren't an issue. It's the damn Gunners hitting through your counter and being out of range that are the issue.

[up][up]Honestly, TP is still on the stylized side- Lots of moody color choices, especially in the Twilight Realms. The real issue is the overuse of bloom filters.

I sure said that!

I'd say the closest we have to a Snake replacement in 4 would be Duck Hunt, in that both characters rely heavily on projectiles. That's a pretty big difference, and it says a lot about the tones of the respective games they're in. Snake would certainly look out of place in a cartoony environment, but how would Duck Hunt look if they were in Brawl?

Ah, so the more "realistic" looking games age horribly compared to cartoony looking ones?

Brawl was one of the better looking Wii games. That, the Mario Galaxy duology, and Sonic Colors are among the best the Wii had to offer visual-wise.
