Super Smash Bros.

Here's my impressions so far having unlocked most of the characters. The game runs pretty well. Everything feels smooth, and fast. I been using Shulk, and he feels natural so far. So far for online, I have 7 wins/12 loses through I just like having a intense fight then worrying about how many wins or whatnot I have. I tried For Fun and the lag was very noticeable.

How are you liking Shulk? He's great if you use the arts the right way instead of treating him like Ike but fast, but damn is it a pain to efficiently use all those arts.

Also we will have to 1v1 soon if you'd like some intense fights.

Actually I don't have a problem with the arts since I memorize the order. I try not to waste arts the moment the match begins. Until sometime past, I use a art that fits the situation. Shulk has nice range, but I noticed that his side-a move is easy for others to punish. I only use his counter when it actually needed since countering again and again would not be good.

I got a interesting Shulk story. I lose to Dr. Mario once and I had Shulk face them. When Dr. Mario had about 60 percent damage, I switched to the Buster art. Some reason I counter and it worked doing about 40 damage sending the doctor to his doom.

Shulk's counter is one of the best even if its incredibly easy to punish like you said. It has good range and it spaces you apart pretty well so you can set up your art after if you need to. It's pretty cool. Its not just his Side-a, Shulk is pretty punishable in general as his moves have a good deal of set up to them, and back slash and air slash both have some frame s you can exploit if you out maneuver him, but he's one of those rare characters that can work really well in spite of some glaring flaws as long as you're aware of them.

That's good to know. It explains a lot from looking back at my online fights. There's a lot of openings when Shulk does his moves when someone can mess him up.

Hey guys, tell me if my attachment file is true for your main or not. I feel like this is pretty accurate.

Similar to the Pit Player, this player is most likely gay. However, if you add a pinch of weeb/husbando faggotry you get the Toon Link player.
This player is of 6/10 skill. However, he much prefers posting reaction images of his cat-eyed shota fixation. (... or he just really misses Young Link)

...this motherfucker...

(By the way, to answer the question... you sort of got it right, I do play him partly because he's cute, but I also play him because he's better at being Link than Link is.)

We get it. You really don't like Sakurai or portable smash. There's no need to mention it in every post.

Hey, I was thinking about it a lot today at work and I wanted to say I was sorry and that you're right.

My thing for Sakurai is really only joking hate, I respect the guy. For all his games he used to be the only one who did play testing and that really hurt his wrist something fierce later in his career and this may be his last Smash. For me its a lot like the 'Thanks Obama!' thing, because I really do not like a lot of his decisions. I retain my right to complain about Sakurai jokingly now and again.

I will stop about portable Smash though period, but I seriously don't even hate it. I think it's the best idea in the world, but it was seriously the wrong time to make it and there were all kinds of bad decisions. The 3DS isn't powerful enough, it lags like crazy online even in 1v1 sometimes, and I've even had a good number of local multiplayer hiccups... Local, god damn man. And they tried to force it to be a companion to the Wii U version which only hurt it since they had to cut the Ice Climbers just so the 3DS could have the same roster since they wouldn't run right. If I hated it I wouldn't have went to a midnight release and slept at 8 a.m. The next day. And since the new 3DS will fix literally all those problems with the increased CPU, literally all of my complains won't matter... If I spend another $200 to buy an entirely new machine. Its a really shitty trade off but even Nintendo is basically admitting the 3DS isn't powerful enough currently.

But besides that, sorry for sounding like a dick.

You see that's the stuff I mean. If I seem more mean spirited than that I don't mean to. Speaking of him being weird, anyone else see today's POTD?

"Mr. Sakurai, we finished putting the three characters on the website, they're in a secret section and there's a spoiler warning and everything, sir!"
"Good."
"What's next, sir?"
"Me casually revealing one of them and their stage on the Pic of the Day and the front page of the website without saying their name at all."

That is very funny. So much for having a secret fighters section.

But then again people should already know who the characters are by this point unless they're trying to live under a rock until the Wii U version releases.

I unlocked the rest of the characters. I can see myself playing a lot of Shulk, Pac-Man, Greninja, Sheik, Lucina, and Zero Suit Samus for the time being. Pac-Man's amazing and I like the changes Sheik got.

Lucina is good, but Marth is going to be the better choice when Wii U version is out. 3DS controls are not very precise and Lucina's thing is her versions of Marth's attacks don't kill until way later. We're talking 120%, where as if you are very accurate with Marth he can KO in as little as 40%.

Something big was found when the game got data mined:

I know that the "grab the coins"/coin battle mode isn't very popular, but I hope that it makes a return in the Wii U version. Also, I wonder how many of those voice clips are for things that will be used in the Wii U version and how many are just cut content/beta content.
 
There's always boatloads of cut content in Smash games, but actually having some of them like Boss Battle actually recorded? I don't know. That's big and makes me think they wouldn't cut that after they'd already recorded the voice. All in all we haven't found much content for Smash 3DS...

Just... The Ice Climber's crowd cheer and some other remnants of their inclusion. *sigh*

Got all of Shulk's custom moves through Smash Run. I'm working on Greninja's moves at the moment. I have 24 wins/28 loses so far online through I'm surprised I'm doing well with Lucina. Most of the matches I used her went pretty well.

I know, though I may be over-exaggerating since I don't play online modes as often. It works fine while spectating, but as soon as I actually start playing, one of the following happens:

1) The match goes well without any issues.
2) Match LAAAAAGS to the extreme to the point of being unplayable.
3) Error code pops up.
4) Matches continue until communication error.

I'm surprised some people are actually able to play online. If there's a patch coming up, I hope it at least tries to fix some of these issues. At least Sm4sh has other game modes to go on.
 
Are you talking about For Fun? 1v1 For Glory works good for me mostly(and i can prove it to you by handing you your ass anytime you want :tomgirl:) 135 W 125 L thanks to an imprecise stupid 3ds controls and stupid fat meat fingers :story:

Nov 21st can't come soon enough but I need to preorder the Amiibo bundle from Walmart or Amazon and preorder a GameCube controller adapter.
