Greninja's Hydro Pump does damage. Very little, but damage all the same.

And then there was Triple Finish where Squirtle used Hydro Pump too.

sounds like we gots us a case of the inconsisties

Hah, saw that. You know, I'll be glad if Sheik gets nerfed if only because more people will use Greninja and we'll get to see more stuff like this.

To be honest, I don't think Greninja will ever be a popular pick among people just because he's a bit of an awkward and difficult to use character. If Sheik gets nerfed people will likely flock over to ZSS, Ness, etc.

He also might still be having to live the whole "better nerf Greninja" joke down. (Despite the buffs he's been getting.)

I've played with Greninja a number of times, and while I'm not terrible with him, I probably have a long way to go before I even try playing For Fun with him, much less face a high-tier player on For Glory.

Speaking of Charizard, I recently returned to playing with him after hearing about his buffs, and I think I'm better with him than I used to be. Of course, that probably won't mean anything when playing with other people, but Charizard might return to being a secondary for me.

Also, that D-air is very satisfying if you sweet-spot it.

Agree on Greninja being awkward. Greninja's combination of being a fast faller that jumps high always gets me. I feel like I can never hit anybody with Greninja's aerials. Especially his nair.

It takes some getting used to. I'm a lot better with them than I was a few months ago.

Greninja takes some time to get down, but I can also safely say I'm better with him than I used to be after putting some time into learning him.

Just got the game. Pit for life.

Anyone have any recommendations on not FALLING OFF THE SCREEN AND DYING all the time?

Up+Special for recovery move. Know how far that recovery can go, and whether they're good horizontally or vertically. Keep count on the number of jumps you have left (easier with some characters than others). Practice, really.

But in more seriousness, just be aware of your actions and the various consequences. Like, don't use a special that moves you far when facing the edges of the stage. Learn how to use recovery moves (typically Up Special) at the right time and place to get back to stage. Shield and dodge to avoid damage. Be very aware of how many jumps you've used and how far your recovery reaches.

It will come with time and experience most of all, so just don't give up and you'll get the hang of it.

With Pit, if it's a stage like regular Final Destination or Battlefield, try to take advantage that you have 3 extra jumps to first be under the stage and then use your recovery to grab the ledge. Makes it harder for people to try and edgeguard/spike you.

Okay, thanks! I'll keep practicing. I love video games, but I have pretty slow reflexes, not to mention that my battle style is usually to get up close and punch things until something dies. Not sure if there's a character who excels in that.

I still don't know how to do any things that require actual skill (...what's edgeguarding), but I'll learn in time because I plan on maining Pit until my 3DS breaks.

Pit is an all-rounder, so he's a good starter character (and has a very forgiving recovery), but if you like rushdown (up in your face) characters, then maybe something like Captain Falcon (though only at lower levels) or Ganondorf (Mighty Glacier version) might be up your alley.

I level 50'd my Pit amiibo last night. Took time playing with all of those downloaded stages.

Whenever I cap out an amiibo, I want a new one. I just want more stuff to play with them with...

More stages, more characters...

More more, always more. XP

Don't feel guilty about using popular characters! It's only when people act pretentious about ot that it's annoying!

About Pit: his up-b can be angled to go nearly straight forward as well.
