I just want to know why the heck is Greninja's standing grab as slow as a tether grab when it comes to actually grabbing the opponent.

I'd love it if the patch changed up Dark Pit somehow.

[up] Granted; his Electroshock Arm is replaced by the Upperdash Arm, and his Final Smash is changed from the Dark Pit Staff to the Three Sacred Treasures.

I'd really like it if Dark Pit had a Side-B where he steps forward while spinning his blades, as well as giving his Down-B and Up-B different properties.

I'll be surprised if anyone knows yet. But any idea if it'll be possible to purchase DLC characters for both systems even if I only have one right now?

I'm planning to get Smash-U EVENTUALLY, but I really don't know when that'll happen. And it would be nice if I could get the package price without waiting until then.

Yes, you buy the character for both systems, and you get a code or something like that to use in the platform you didn't buy the character in. IIRC that's what the official site says.

Keep in mind that there's probably a time limit to the code.

There is. The codes will work until September 30th.

[up] Oh, phew. I thought the time limit was even sooner.

At least I have enough time to add Mewtwo to both versions now.

Hope Rosalina doesn't suffer much. The Luma spawn nerf hurt more than I initially thought. Pikachu will probably be fine though oddly enough. Despite being up there in viability no one seems to use him. And he doesn't feel that complicated, so I don't quite get why.

I'm honestly still not sure why Pikachu is considered so good in the first place, even though I like(d) playing him. I guess pros are getting a lot of mileage out of the new Thunder?

I can see a lot of people being turned off by his low-range and generally low-power moves. He demands a lot of precision, I think.

I never got why Pikachu was highest tier in 64.

72613: It would be ironic if Sonic ended up top-tier in a Nintendo-orientated game.

The Smash engine in general is skewed toward the Fragile Speedsters, which is why tier lists typically favor them. Why else would Zero Suit Samus rank above her suited self?

So no, I wouldn't find it surprising that Sonic was in a high position on the tier list.

Pikachu is considered top tier solely because of Quick Attack being an incredibly disruptive move that can even combo into his main kill move (Up-Smash) while also having pretty much no risk attached to it and being almost impossible to punish and react to and it also makes Pikachu almost impossible to gimp unless you get a really hard read.

What, really? I had no idea!

For a whole slew of reasons besides that one? tongue

Speed is a big factor because of course offense is the best defense, but you're simplifying it an awful lot.

Hey, does anyone know if the Smash update that comes tomorrow is going to render replays unplayable like what happened with the 3DS update? I ask because I want to record my replays for videos and need to know if they're okay after the update.

Most assuredly it will, since it comes with a balance patch.

As for Rosalina, if she gets nerfed it's going to be just her Up-Tilt and Up-Air, or rather, Luma's.

There's tournament footage of Luma killing DK at 30% with an Up-Air. Though it was on Halberd and it's really low ceiling, that's a bit too much power. Also this.

The non-balance patches murdered replays as it is.

This probably might not be the best place to post this, but as a Smasher that has recently adopted Pit as another character to play with, I have regained my interest in Uprising, so I have a question: Is Circle Pad Pro (left-handed artist here) still easy to find, along with the actual game?

I don't think it's particularly obscure, but in any event, it should be available as a download on the eshop, and you should still be able to get it via Club Nintendo if you have the right amount of coins left over.

As for Pro, I'm left-handed myself and all I had to do was fiddle with the control options a bit and settle in with the first few chapters. You really don't need to bother with it, especially with NN3DS rendering it even more obsolete.

So, by "fiddle", do you mean you just mapped the ABXY buttons to move?

Definitely not. It already took some time getting used to having them in charge of the mere camera.

IIRC, though, that was the only major change from the default control scheme; control stick for movement, D-pad for items, etc. All I really did was hard-drop the stylus from the control scheme altogether since I can't imagine anybody being comfortable with a playstyle like that.
