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

Do 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.

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.

[up]Funny, I only use Jump or Speed as Shulk. I can't figure out what exactly boosts with anything else.

Shield boosts defense and lowers knockback against you, but decreases speed. Buster increases damage, but lowers launch power and defense. Smash increases launch power, but decreases damage and increases knockback against you.

I'm pretty sure that Shield and Jump make you slower.

I always tend to forget about Monado Arts when I use Shulk, which has only been for, like, the single-player challenges when I needed him.

Hmm... 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!

There's a reason Jump is the first in the lineup- It makes recovery much easier and can be activated quickly.

I sure said that!

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 ._.

I tend to play Shulk without any Monado arts. I don't know why, I guess it just gives me a good challenge.

As huge a benefit as getting to shift your stats around like that is, Shulk's also got a lot of reach and moderate power even without it.

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...

Reyn: There was this one time, though. We got into a scuffle. He ain't got my size or build, but his jab is quick and powerful.
This may be a bit of a stretch, though the punch Shulk uses in his neutral combo is specifically a jab.

It's not size alone. It's how to make him still somewhat big, terrifying, and balanced enough to be playable.

Why does everyone act like "twice as big as samus" isn't that big? That's too big to fit under the lower platforms of battlefield.

A good writer puts in a lot of details in there story. But a great one gets a story from a single detail.

Imagine having 8 of those buggers all lined up on a stage.

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)

#69247: Feb 7th 2015 at 7:09:46 PM

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.

Characters 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.

I pretty much never play with the heavies. Though from what little I've played, I've been told I'm pretty good with Ganondorf.
