Never really faced a Diddy player who did the Hoo Hah. That said, I like having a more balanced game too. Of course some characters just won't be better than some others, but the patches have been a fairly nice step in the right direction.

Every Diddy I ever faced has done the Hoo-Hah. Or tried some crazy combo so hard, I literally didn't need to press a single button to win.

I don't think I've fought a villager that was THAT annoying. Actually finishing them off is a pain since they have insane vertical/horizontal movement options from Balloon Fight and Llyod Rocket. But that's about it.

I don't run into Villager that often though.

The top tier right now is Shiek IIRC. I'm not sure if she's common online though.

Anyone here met someone who liked Subspace Emissary?

One of my stream friends was questioning all my criticisms of it when I posted my Brawl review, and did not like my suggestion of using other Nintendo mooks over the generic Subspace army.

I almost liked it. The cutscenes and sort-of-plot were great, and I liked the levels in principle, but the gameplay just... did not work. And then it pulled a lot of resources away from stuff that matters more.

I loved the Subspace Emissary. The plot, the enemies, the characters...

I was so sad when Smash 4 didn't have a story mode.

Would have been cool seeing the story behind Master Core. Is it a corruption or the Hands' natural essence...and why would it come out now.

I liked the Subspace Emissary, but it had way too many problems, not the least of them the remarkable lack of representation of all the series in stage and enemy forms, instead resorting mostly to Original Generation enemies and very generic areas.

Besides, I think it's fair to say that the development time taken up by the making of the story mode could've been better spent in improving the game itself.

Diddy Kong is surprisingly quite rare on FG, even during his heyday when his hoo-hah dominated. I see him way less than Captain Falcon, and that may be because Diddy became a meme quite recently whereas Falcon has been one for a while now.

Villager isn't a fighter you're supposed to gimp. To finish him or her off, the only options you have are smash attacks and a u-air that kills, if your character has one.

The Subspace Emissary had tons of potential, and I enjoyed it my first time because it played a lot like a Kirby game, and I do like my Kirby games. The premise sounded great on paper—Nintendo heroes teaming up against a greater evil. But like everyone else, I thought it dragged on for too long (especially by the time you reach The Great Maze) and many of the enemies were uninspired and unmemorable. As such, I never saw a reason to play the game a third time (the second time was to unlock all the cutscenes, e.g., saving Zelda instead of Peach).

It's a custom down special for Villager that makes the sapling trip targets and the tree counter attacks, though the tree itself is far weaker when chopped down. Alongside the Lloid custom that makes it hit multiple times and take hits better than the normal Lloid, the explosive balloon custom, and pocket (that wasn't also custom was it? Seemed normal), the Villager can start camping and become absurdly annoying to dig out of their little cove of deadly explosives and trees.

Good job slowly but surely peeling that little rat out of their hole, Moon. God only knows I'd have torn my hair out in frustration at dealing with that, especially since even with Customs I don't think Link has anything to really push through that kind of wall.

Sweet Jaysus! Just watching that made me want to smack that Villager player behind the head.

Major props for cutting through their bullshit camping tactics and taking that victory, Full Moon.

After a bad day playing in the ladder and falling from 26th to 38th, winning that fight alone made me jump back to 25th so I'd say that hell was worth it tongue

Thank god Shifting Shuriken goes through the trees or else this would've been impossible.

Still, never again.

A damn well deserved jump, I say!

How high up the ladder was that dude, anyway? And how many people are preaching for their slow and painful death in the forums?

Last time I checked he was I think 13th, but that was after our match so he was probably higher until I beat him.

Only two other people in the ladder managed to beat him there too.

...That Villager loadout is not available for the EVO tournament, is it?

Perhaps I should be glad that I can't quite play like whoever was using that Villager can yet. (I'm a Villager main.) Way to bounce back, though, Moon!

Oh dear... so many people concerned about "muh victory" don't think about how annoying they could be making things for everyone else. A show like this at EVO won't do any favors the the community.

Hopefully pro players will cut through anyone using those tactics before they reach the higher standings.

The way to go against custom Villager is to estabilish a damage or stock lead early on and then give him a taste of his own medicine by just not going after him if he keeps camping, the timer will run out and you'll win if he doesn't approach you properly.

Super tedious and lame but it works.

I just couldn't do that in that match because I killed myself early tongue
