But what would happen if he absorbed energy?

Is this a Jo Jo reference?

Suddenly, "Meta Ridley" makes me think of Ridley trying to find as many electronic devices as he can to vote for himself in the DLC poll.

if Ridley was made playable, what would happen to the Pyrosphere!Ridley?

As mentioned right on the very first post of last page, it's a clone.

While there have been numerous points given as to why the actual Ridley is not going to be playable (at least not under Sakurai's watch), the former Furby isn't one of them.

I've decided that in my quest to collect every special move in the game, I will also try to complete Classic on 9.0 with every character. The character I see myself having the most trouble with in this self imposed challenge is Meta Knight.

No, it'll be Olimar.

I've found that clearing 9.0 mostly comes down to how generous the game feels with placing three or fewer trophies on a space. The second you have four or more opponents is the one when the game drops all pretense and Gang Up on the Human is in even fuller effect than normal. Equipment is nearly mandatory for anyone who isn't a heavyweight, too- Ive managed to clear 9.0 without customs only as Charizard. Rock Smash is still the boss killer it was in Brawl.

I sure said that!

Olimar is fun to play but all the micromanagement you have to do with his Pikmin to play him to his full potential is too much for my little head.

As for 9.0...

Thank god Greninja's Up-Smash and D-Air wrecks bosses.

While doing my Olimar run, I found out that Greninja's Smash attacks can kill blue Pikmin, which is weird.

I did it as Shulk. Monado Buster tears through bosses (as long as you don't get hit), and Monado Shield is a godsend when stuff gets too heated. Add his up smash and a powerful counter and he can handle himself quite well.

Hungry: That's because he's not drowning them, he's more or less chopping at them with blades of water (however THAT works. But hey, Water Shuriken is a thing that is very sharp!)

Then I'm going to use Buster on Master Beast. That punk of a boss is always the hardest part for me.

[up] I guess it makes sense if I actually think about it.

I think Greninja's Smash attacks are considered to be just sword attacks instead of water moves, unlike his N-Air.

Good thing too because otherwise Greninja would never be able to get those Pikmin off him quickly.

Here's a question- Fox's Up Smash has cutting effects like swords and claws also do, and it's been that way since Melee. Any guesses why?

I sure said that!

Do the fire/water/dark/electric/etc type moves actually affect outside of smash-run?

I know the polar-bear monster is wrecked by fire. But that's about it... As far as I can tell it's all just for aesthetics.

[up][up][up][up]Do it. Pulling a Vision with Buster activated on Master Beast and Master Edges is incredibly satisfying.

[up][up]They have precisely one effect outside of that- Pikmin immunities. Reds are immune to fire, yellows to electricity, and blues to the handful of water attacks and drowning on stages with swimming water.

I managed to no-Custom 9.0 with Mr. Game & Watch.

He's my very best, and I plan on no-stock-loss 9.0 with him.

I've made it up to the final battle, but... I've never beaten that on 9.0 without losing a stock. ^^;

And there's no way to practice without getting back to it on 9.0.

Any tips? Even if it's just practice on lower difficulties?

It's probably just for show as well, but powerful electric attacks like Thunder have a sort of delayed launch. I dunno if that's important or not though.

I think Master Edges' projectiles are considered energy-based and thus can be gotten with Oil Panic?

It's also worth noting that the fact that Water Shuriken is considered a "sword" move is probably the reason it's not absorbed by Oil Panic and PSI Magnet

Yeah, I know. I got hit with that yellow-blade attack because I was focused more on holding the bucket out, waiting for them to home in on me, than the boss. |D

Also, if there's a decently strong attack with a relatively small amount of end lag, like Mario's b-air or DK's d-tilt, spam it.

Huh, learn something new every day.

I have no idea how you'd get this info outside of hacking, but maybe that's because I don't visit Smashboards...
