I pretty much go chronological, too. Wii U and 3DS are my favorites, then Brawl, then Melee, then 64.

Do any 3DS players have a Smash Run enemy(ies) they just can't stand seeing? Aside from Ornes (which along with their usual properties are a source of Nightmare Fuel for me), I get irritated whenever a Plasma Wisp appears because of their obnoxious cheap shots. (The big barrier that they toss at you.) I also dislike Reapers...though it's less the Reapers themselves and more the Reapettes they summon that make getting to them difficult.

Can stand? Probably Clubberskulls. I hated them in Kid Icarus: Uprising too. They're just too strong...

[up][up][up]I only suggested that as Sonic was Mario's rival during the 90s. It just makes sense for the two to be rivals in Smash.

Clubberskulls were relatively cake in Uprising; they're far more susceptible to projectile attacks, and unlike their Forces of Nature counterpart, they tend to just waste their time with actual attack animations while you continue to set up camp on them. The only real problem was their health.

Of course, then Skarairu went and tripled their size while maintaining everything else. In a genre far less forgiving with enemies like those, no less.

You'll notice that some don't have the same rival as the character who is rival to them, and I've also fleshed out rivalries in case you don't have the character yet.

Basically any upper-tier enemy is a nightmare if encountered without lots of Defense and Attack boosts and/or Spinning Blades uses. Bulborbs are probably the worst, since they're nearly as tough as Clubberskulls but don't have to be unsealed.

I sure said that!

Unless you're playing Greninja then you can't just D-Air on them forever and most of the time they won't be able to do a thing about it.

I know I just thought I'd remind of that quirk tongue

Though I think Clubberskulls can still hit Greninja while he's bouncing so they're probably the most annoying enemies in the game, doesn't help that they take absolutely forever to die.

Wouldn't Peach be able to cheese some of the Smash Run enemies by floating as well?

As for mine;

  • 64
  • 3DS
  • Melee
  • Wii U
  • Brawl

Each roster felt amazing, mind you, but I preferred the gameplay overall in that order. Wii U just generally has so much lack of basic stuff like a normalesque Classic Mode, an Adventure Mode, and is generally more frustrating for me to play, which is what gets it lower than Melee. I admit, Brawl does inch close to be preferred over Wii U though. But that's due to a roster and stage list I like a bit more, and better mode choices, imo.

64 was just an amazing game in its own right, with 3DS close behind. Both are pretty well designed overall and quite fun. Melee comes in third for mostly feeling a little outdated in some ways, and far less balance than 3DS. It's still great in many other ways, though.

Here's some low tier action with probably the best Zelda I've played so far.

There's a lot of empty space in the video because I forgot to change the resolution while editing, I'm probably going to OCD about that and re-upload it in the future.

[up][up][up][up] Those are Daphnes. I dislike those, too. Somehow, I always seem to hit both of their mines.

Playing Smash Run with a character who has fire based attacks (like Charizard, Robin, and Ike) makes those #@!@*% polar bears really easy to deal with. It also alleviates much of the difficulty of "Survive!-Hard", as well. note 

Skuttler Mages are a pain to deal with at times, since the instant you get close to them the use that stat-reducing melee attack they have that's nigh impossible to escape. A let's not even get into Mimicuties...

I have managed to defeat a few Clubberskulls with some characters equipped with "Brief Invincibility" and some Hammers.

I relish fighting Clubberskulls. It's probably because my pure Attack Ganondorf can kill'em in a few seconds with some help from Spinning Blades.

Oh god, Reapers. I know they're worse in Uprising 'cause you can't kill them, but they still annoy me to no end. It might be because of the music cue though.

Here's my take on the rivals:

Mario—Dr. Mario (multiple personalities)
Luigi—Wario (derivatives of Mario)
Peach—Bowser (Distressed Damsel vs. the Big Bad)
Donkey Kong—Yoshi (major Mario spin-off characters)
Bowser Jr.—Diddy Kong (young animals)
Link—Marth (two of the most prominent swordsmen)
Toon Link—Meta Knight (lightweight swordsmen)
Zelda—Sheik (again, multiple personalities)
Ganondorf—Robin (slow magicians)
Lucina—Ike (the other swordsmen)
Samus—Zero Suit Samus (with or without the suit?)
Fox—Falco (who has the better LAAAIIINNNDDDMAAASSSSTTTUUURRRRR!!!?)
Pit—Dark Pit (Light vs. Dark)
Rosalina & Luma—Palutena (both royalty and goddesses)
Kirby—King Dedede (which is the Bigger Eater?)
Little Mac—Wii Fit Trainer (athletes)
Sonic—Captain Falcon (3fast5u)
Mr. Game & Watch—R.O.B. (the standard retro characters)
Pikachu—Jigglypuff (the cute Pokemon)
Charizard—Mewtwo (the Gen I badasses)
Lucario—Greninja (the modern badasses)
Villager—Ness (two of the younger fighters)
Duck Hunt—Mii Gunner (characters that rely heavily on projectiles)
Olimar—Shulk (two characters from modern Nintendo series)
Mega Man—Pac-Man (the third-party characters not named Sonic)
Mii Swordfighter—Mii Brawler (swords vs. fists)

On a side note, why was Bowser Jr. (and the Koopalings, for that matter) given his voice from the games instead of realistic monster sounds?
