So today I found out that I still really, really hate fighting Sonic as much as I did in Brawl.

[up] I know right? This one Sonic player I fought online today kept rolling into me and then repeatedly hitting me while I was in the air. It was really annoying.

I pretty much scout the profiles of my opponents before accepting a match in the ladder just to see if they play Sonic or R.O.B, at which I go "nope" because I don't want to deal with them.

But Moon, how will you ever learn how to overcome those opponents when you deal with them in a real tournament if you avoid them??

Kidding, I can't blame you. If I had anyone I really hated playing against I'd probably do that too, but I haven't played enough to have any particular characters that annoy me. I get beaten pretty equally.

All the more reason to try and learn Sonic, then. Thanks for the encouragement, guys!

Honestly, Sonic's really easy to beat if you play defensively. Let him make the first move.

My main issue is that I never see other Sonic players outside of For Glory, and even then he's kinda hard to find. So I don't know what Sonic can do as well as other characters.

Speaking of Sonic, what are his best kill moves?

Also, I got Wii U smash today, so I got both versions registered, and am going to get a Mewtwo code when they happen.

Squee!

Ugh, it's spring break for me and I made the smart decision not to bring the 3DS version back home so I can obtain the Mewtwo code.

[up][up] Best Sonic kill moves are Up-Air, Side-Smash, Up-Smash, and Back Throw. Might've missed one.

[up]Thanks, then. Time to get good at landing them.

I could have sworn someone said that the back-air was a good killer too.

[up] Oh, yeah. That's the one I forgot. It's really best near the ledge. One tip: Up-throw lets you get an up-air easily. At higher percents, use the spring to lift you high enough to land it.

It is best to beat a Sonic player by being on the defense. I would not have won the match I've mentioned when I was Dedede once if I didn't get the idea to block Sonic's dash attack and grab him and throw him off the screen.

Also, am I the only one who hates Event Matches in almost all the games they've been in?

I like some and despise some.

Some I have extremely mixed feelings about, like reenacting the Parachute Game & Watch as Falco on Lylat Cruise.

I sure said that!

For me, most of the events ended up being more challenging than normal due to me going after all of the challenges. The one I think I had the most trouble with was the food one with Kirby on Great Cave Offensive.

I liked events in Melee and Brawl. Haven't had a chance to try Sm4sh's since I only have 3DS

I think I'm probably the only one one who found that event to be really fun tongue

Melee's were frustrating because they steadily got more and more difficult. Brawl's were fun because I could change difficulty if things got too hard. I don't know about Wii U's because I don't have that one.

As noted before, enjoyed Melee's, found most of Brawl's to be uninspired at best, and don't plan on touching 4's at any point (especially since it's rather visibly taking more cues from the latter than the former).

I know this is a really stupid method, but I managed to beat Kirby's Crazy Appetite on Hard just by pausing multiple times to get a sense of where I should go to get all the food. It may not fit your playstyle, but that's how I did it, and I ended up succeeding after a few attempts.

You can also copy Dedede's ability and Inhale the food, which I didn't realize you can do until after I completed the event.

Melee's were frustrating because they steadily got more and more difficult. Brawl's were fun because I could change difficulty if things got too hard. I don't know about Wii U's because I don't have that one.

Wii U is alright if you just want to clear the Events, but if you're gunning for the rewards, prepare to enter hell. There are also Events that will be hard no matter what you do like Kirby's Crazy Appetite. In a way, it's kind of like a cross between Melee and Brawl.

The final All-Star Battle Event also require you to beat it on Hard if you want to break one of the Challenges (well, I say final since it's the only Event that requires this).

That said, it's still not as balls frustrating as Melee's latter Events can be and the All-Star Events (and the newcomers' versions of them) are as fun as ever.

(That said, the best Event will always be the final Co-Op Event.)

I didn't mind Melee's events. Brawl's felt sorta dull. Wii U's are a bit better than Brawl's in that regard, but they're often extremely frustrating- at least, any that runs on a time limit or has a time limit-related objective.

It's not so much that they're challenging, just that you're at the mercy of the RNG. I swear it sometimes seems like the computer deliberately stalls you out of time by just running away from you or focusing exclusively on dodging your attacks.

One's enjoyment of Kirby's Crazy Appetite is directly proportional to how generous the RNG feels with spawning cakes and roasted chickens, I'm pretty sure.

I sure said that!

I loved that event, no matter how many times I lost! It's all about beating people to food!

I guess I finally did something right with my posts?
