The Plunger is Mario's Forawrd Air Attack. Think about it.

I only really recall Bowser's Down Air being named Scrub Brush there, and of course it's been changed as of 4.

I sure said that!

Ganondork's up-tilt was called Volcano Kick.

And a few of the Trophies in 4 name a handful of other moves, too. R.O.B.'s Forward Smash is called S3, for some reason.

I don't recall if a Trophy calls it such, but I like to refer to Shulk's Forward Smash as Slit Edge.

I sure said that!

Well, Captain Falcon's f-air is officially called the Knee Smash, and Wario had his signature Shoulder Bash as his forward smash in Brawl, but it was removed for whatever reason.

EDIT: Oh, and Zelda's f-air and b-air are both known as the Lightning Kicks.

The official guide for Brawl also had the names of each attack, IIRC. Dunno if Smash 4 has a strategy guide, and if it does, if the trend is continued.

The PRIMA guide? I think that only named the Specials.

The most I have seen is the loading screen tips referring to tilts as "strong attacks" at most. And aerial attacks.

"Ike's back aerial" they call it.

Random thought: I like special victory screens where characters address one another directly. Unfortunately, only the folks of Star Fox, Fire Emblem, and Kid Icarus have the few that show up in Smash.

I'm a sucker for character interaction, so I'd love to see more of those special victory screens in the next Smash; especially crossover ones. Even basic lines like having guys like Sonic and Pit trash-talking other fighters when winning a 1 on 1 would really add more flavor to the game.

For that matter, special team victory screens. Mario having a bro moment with Luigi, Pit bowing before Palutena, the Fire Emblem guys having quick Pair-Up moments. I'd love seeing that kind of stuff. Rumor/Leak stuff: I want to see Mega Man and Ryu brofisting, dammit!

Apparently the Fox/Falco special victory screens were around back in Brawl too. I never saw them, but several sources I've seen since Sm4sh came out say they were.

[up][up]Wolf was included in it as well.

[up]If 3DS, sure. You could always just revive the other thread, though.

I am used to playing with a Gamecube controller and while I cannot say that I am the best, I am still somewhat good at the game. Playing on a 3DS always seems to cramp my hands despite the fact that I also have Kirby on my 3DS. I was thinking about getting a modded 3DS from Ebay or something because I am used to playing the game on a Gamecube controller and setting up the defaults won't help either. The 3DS is too small for my hands to keep track of all the characters and playing the game.

I have to admit, having the C-Stick has really helped me with Smash, even if it's still this bizarre thing that just senses pressure instead of moving unto itself.

... Seriously, it's like some odd cross between an analog stick and a touchpad off a laptop. It's pretty good for Smashing and cameras and that's probably it.

I sure said that!

Man, I love baiting dem counters, it just feels so good getting a kill after they mistime it.

You could make a drinking game out of every time someone tries to counter a charging Hammer Flip.

It's more than a bit annoying playing against level 9 AI's with counters. The moment you try a Smash, they're ready for you.

Try using counters against lv9 CPU. They will always know you're going to do it.

Level 9s are just all-around cheaters, honestly.

amiibos cheat worse. Even uncustomized they still have their higher strength and defense.

Level 9's are still easier than good players though. CPU's all use the same skills, like shielding right when you attack and then grabbing you.

But they never try anything really tricky.
