Yellow Devil, Ridley and Metal Face are all really disruptive, but YD's befinitely the most disruptive of the three, since its attacks make so much of a very small stage entirely unsafe.

I sure said that!

I don't mind Ridley. He joins your side if you hit him enough, and he's not too hard to take down. And I seldom see Metal Face because I typically only use Gaur Plains for 8-Player Smash.

But the Devil is always shooting something.

If we go by size of dangerous areas relative to the size of the stage, Ridley makes about 50% the stage dangerous, Metal Face maybe 30%, but Yellow Devil easily makes 90-95% of the stage a deathtrap.

I sure said that!

[up]I don't mind the bosses.

Strangely, my friends call Ridley "The dragon", so I guess Metroid is nothing to the younger crowd of Nintendo fans.

Yellow Devil has the unfortunate combination of being on a very small stage and spawning very frequently.

Ridley and Metal Face not only have larger stages, but only show up occasionally.

Metal Face is the least intrusive since his stage is the largest, he doesn't always show up, he doesn't stick around for long when he does, and if you ignore him he leaves you alone and just commentates. Of course, throwing people into him is a perfectly valid strategy.

You cannot firmly grasp the true form of Squidward's technique!

I swear, For Fun can be downright vicious at times. I just had a session where all three of my opponents were up against me, and it wasn't even a team battle. This whole crusade was spearheaded by a Peach of all characters. Our last fight ended with a Sudden Death—I was the one to die first, and then the other two opponents killed themselves for Peach. It was just like a 4-player fight in Classic Mode—they didn't care to attack each other.

They must hate Dr. Mario that much.

I'm guessing you're talking about using D-Air just on the edge so that if you hit the enemy will be meteor'd and if you miss you're going to land on solid ground still.

Wouldn't that theoretically work against someone hanging on a ledge but who has lost the invincibility granted by it? Granted, that's a really rare scenario- Luigi's deathtaunt is more for show than use- But still?

I sure said that!

Yes, it should. It should also be noted that if you let go of the edge without being attcked or landing on something, you won't gain the invincibility again.

Messing with ledges... Some of the most infurating For Glory matches I've played have been against Wii Fit Trainers that went to the ledge and started jumping and using Header against me while staying there. I once fought one while playing as Lucario...

Something something giant blue balls.

@70732: Honestly, I have no idea. I'm not even sure how they collectively plotted against me.

We have some mind readers in online Smash. No wonder people who spam often aren't punished.

...So, confession time: I have actually instigated similar situations.

Not on purpose, though! So like, sometimes I do this thing where I play as Dedede and just lie on the stage facing the camera because I have a very simple sense of humor. Sometimes people (usually girls, I've noticed; not sure if that says something) understand my desire to be a non-combatant and go along with my antics, leaving me alone.

Sometimes this has resulted in two people leaving me alone and also forming their own alliance. Which...kinda leaves out the fourth player.

Look, I try to apologize and get them on our side, but it's difficult to communicate when all you can really do is try to show them you mean no harm by repeatedly crouching, shielding, or taunting.

[up] So, were the other two trying to protect you from the fourth player? I figured they'd had to in order to keep the fight going.

Maybe telepathic communication can exist in a game like Smash.

I guess what you're saying is that girls understand peace more often than guys? The Peach I was up against was a girl (and the only girl in the room to boot), and I'm sure she would have kicked my ass six ways to Sunday if we were pitted against each other on 1-on-1 For Glory...unless maybe if I was Duck Hunt.

Possibly? It's...hard to tell. Again, communication doesn't get more complex than crouching.

...Maybe all Smash players should just learn Morse code and crouch at each other in Morse to communicate.

It's kind of taught us morse code in a way. The Master Core battle music has Morse code that spells Master Core's name.

With the female Smash players I've faces in real life, peaceful is not the word I'd use. Terrible? Yes for the ones I've fought.

I've honestly met few females in real life that regularly play Smash Bros. The ones in my CAD class that played Melee with me before Christmas Break had not played the games prior to that. Despite that one Pichu player won a match against someone using Marth. And I doubt much of the females that attend high school with me play Smash Bros. (Unless they're Gamer Chicks)

Now when you say "terrible," are we talking terrible like Ivan the Terrible, or terrible like how I'm terrible at playing For Glory matches against people with a functioning shield button?

Long ago I met this one female player (or, at the very least, a person with a female Mii) on For Glory who caught me by surprise. She was a Luigi who committed suicide both times in our first match, and then she completely wiped the floor with me for our subsequent matches. It was...weird.

I do win against most of the females I run into on FG (who are rare) nowadays, though.

@For Fun douchebaggery:

It still baffles me how they have the gall, wherewithal, and brainpower to even consider singling one person out. They can't be all in the same room conspiring, so what exactly is going on?

[up] I suppose the two other players turned on me for trying to go against Peach, and their animosity would continue into subsequent matches. Otherwise, they didn't attack at all except for the Peach—any hit they landed on each other seemed to be accidental.

I just noticed that the YMMV page for Smash keeps saying that Greninja keeps getting nerfed in balance patches despite the fact that we only got one. I know it reached meme status but come on tongue
