My Bowser amiibo arrived! Hooray! It looks high quality too.
Call me butter, because I am on a roll! 3ds friend code: 5258-0885-3903 Wii U: Bowser CharizardDo any of you guys have a character that you're good with against CP Us, yet are terrible with against Human Players? I already mentioned Little Mac is mine.
AAAAUUUUGGGHHHH!!!!I have a friend who's good with Shulk despite not even having the game. I can still beat him, but I really gotta work at it.
He already figured out to start with Buster and move into Smash when my damage is high.
He never uses Shield or Jump, but he tries Speed sometimes.
You gotta believe me when I scare you away, all that I wish for is that you would stayHmm... Shulk's arts...
- Jump: I don't use it as much as I'd like to. When I do, I tend to use it to jump around the stage, trying to land some hits while avoiding my opponent. I gotta learn to use it to recover.
- Speed: I use it more, but not as often as I'd like to as well. Good for darting around the stage and try to land some hits. The lower jump and faster horizontal air speed can be useful to land some hop aerials.
- Shield: The higher defense is great, but the reduced movility can really screw me over. Gotta stay away from dem ledges. I tend to use it when me and my opponent are in the mid-high damage range and they're getting the advantage over me, or in close quarters free-for-all clusterfucks.
- Buster: Using this right, I can manage to rack up well over 50% damage with just a few quick strikes, as long as I can deal with the lower knockback. I like to use it when I'm at high damage and my opponent's not. I'm already almost dead, so might as well try to rack up damage before falling. Even better if I survive it.
- Smash: Opponent at 75% -> Activate this bad boy. An uncharged smash attack can deal with a lot of opponents quite handily while this is active, and if lucky even a tilt can manage to get the job done (Now reliabily hitting my opponent...). If both of us are at high damage, this is my go-to art. Death or glory!

"Yeah, it's a shame. Here we are in an underground cave with all these lasers, and instead of having a rave we're using it for evil."I know that. I also know my fingers are not very good at cooperating in desperate situations. Either that or I get screwed over by trying to use Air Slash before Jump is active, making me change to the next art instead ._.

"Yeah, it's a shame. Here we are in an underground cave with all these lasers, and instead of having a rave we're using it for evil."Speaking of Shulk, a friend of mine noticed this and I figured you guys would find it interesting.
A punch. Generic enough move, right? Wrong. Here's a bit of from Xenoblade Chronicles...
Sakurai is meticulous as fuck, that's for sure.
Also, just noticed this about our controversial psychopathic space dragon...

8 Bowsers or Donkey Kongs still fill the stage quite nicely tho. Or moving Charizards, who have quite noticeable wingspans and lenghts.
And seriously, most of that size is head, hands and feet...

More Greninja quirks:
Substitute can be activated by Olimar's pikmin hitting him while grabbing onto him. This is significant because if Greninja is close to Olimar and aims upward, he will teleport right on top of Olimar. Considering how strong Substitute is, this makes having Pikmin grab onto Greninja quite risky.
Literally everything can trigger Substitute, which includes the water from Pac-Man's hydrant and the water from F.L.U.U.D even though they do no damage.
Out of curiosity, who are your guys's 10 favorite characters in SSB 4? I already did a list on mine: http://simbabarrelroll.livejournal.com/32220.html
So, just name your 10 favorite characters (just characters you like playing as, not exclusive to the characters you are best as (I suck using Little Mac and Falco against human players, for example))
And, also, who are the characters you almost never use? I have a solid list:
- Peach
- ROB
- Ganondorf
- Rosalina and Luma
- Villager
- Pikachu (this is true for all SSB games because he is a spam machine, and I don't like spamming the same moves)
- Olimar/Alph
- Ness (his recovery is difficult to use)
- Zelda
- Yoshi
Consequently, here are my honorable mentions for favorites:
- Mario/Dr. Mario
- Luigi
- Bowser
- Donkey Kong
- Diddy Kong
- Wario
- Sheik
- Toon Link
- Pit
- Palutena
- Ike
- Female Robin
- Wii Fit Trainer
- Kirby
- King Dedede
- Meta Knight
- Charizard
- Lucario
- Pac Man
- Mii Swordsman
- Mii Gunner
(If I included Mii fighters on my list, the Brawler would be in my top 3)
AAAAUUUUGGGHHHH!!!!1. Samus
2. Jigglypuff
3. R.O.B.
4. Link
5. Donkey Kong
6. Mario
7. Falco
8. Sonic
9. Ganondorf
10. Marth
Just whoever tickles my fancy at the moment really.
Only character I honestly don't think I can use is Peach, mostly because she's just got (what seems like to me) such a huge learning curve. I'll get to her eventually though.

"And kung fu is a terrible way to run a company" - alliteratorCharacters I never use...?
Robin...
Fox + Falco
Shulk
Olimar
Charizard
Greninja
R.O.B.
D.K. and Diddy
I have no other reason than just not being bothered to try using them, forcing myself to do it is not good stuff.
Rules of the Internet 45. Rule 45 is a lie. Check out my art if you notice.

We could include Suicune, Kyogre, Manaphy, Metagross, Kyurem, Oshawott, and Xerneas in this blue fighter thing, if we could mark out individual Pokemon.
The legend has returned.
