My feeble primate brain can't figure out how Robin works.

it's a really good all rounder, i'd call it half samus, half marth. It's thunder shot at full charge is an awesome "get off my screen" shot

 

[AdaWong]

In class wishing I could play. *sobs*

 

[Dr.Hadji]

Good games dragonlife.

 

[Deleted member 13876]

This happens the most to me with greninja.

Keeps happening here. Fortunately, once you develop an awareness for it you can often still recover from the mistake as the Up B travels a long vertical distance.

 

[SenorArdilla]

Master Core at 9.0 is easy with the critical hit badge. 300 KOs to get it.

All the Critical Hits stack right?

 

[Spinosaurus]

Huh?

Boxing reference lol

 

[random25]

With what?

Megaman. Hitting Master Core with his projectiles makes dodging pretty easy.

Another one I used to beat with 8.5 intensity is Fox. Having that strong Up-air really helps especially with the sword form.

 

[IntelliHeath]

I can't count how many times I've lost a stock because it interpreted my Up+B as a Side+B and vice versa.

Thats my problem with the game and we had to deal with circle pad. I can't wait for analog stick's smash 4.

 

[jrDev]

First impressions. Damn good little mac. Time to step my game up.

Edit: Holy shit that down tilt is better than I thought. Gonna incorporate that now.

Lol good games I have to run till later. I saw that you incorporated it, I had to adjust lol...

 

[jorgejjvr]

I promise you I ain't this bad. Let me get some lunch, maybe that's it xD ggs

 

[xKilltheMx]

gg jrDev. As of right now youre a far better little mac than me and hell some of my other better characters too. Now I see how other people feel when they play me online. Good shit.

 

[Voliko]

In class wishing I could play. *sobs*

Reading this thread throughout the day has been a bad idea... I need to play

 

[Moonlight]

so, am i the only one who absolutely loves robin?

Definitely not. Robin is awesome. Amazing aerials, ridiculously good (and fast) projectiles and zoning options, above-average dash attack, good shield pressure (via Arcfire), strong edgeguard tools, and fairly fast smash attacks. If only s/he had a better grab-range and Nosferatu were a little more practical than they'd be my ideal character in absolutely every respect. If Robin didn't have to manage those tomes and sword uses, s/he'd be fucking unstoppable.

Best character in SSB4 by far.

 

[Zareka]

It is a fake leak someone made.

Oh, okay, thanks. It popped up on my twitter feed and I'd never seen it before. Thought it might have been a little easter egg or something.

All good, that mac was overwhelming me for a bit. But game and watch Bacon slows him down for a while lol

 

[Velcro Fly]

Almost got the first challenge page done. Just need 10 powers in Smash Run one.

Also think I'm going to make a checklist to know when I've beaten Classic, All-Star, and Smash Run with each character. Would make the smashing fun and orderly instead of having to remember what I've done. Gotta complete those challenges!

Yes definitely, first one I face too

A message pops up when you've beaten Classic with every character except the Miis. I'm guessing the same happens in All-Star and Smash Run.

 

[TheSlySoul]

I just realized a trick for Cruel Melee:
- Pick Shulk
- Down + B to counter when they attack
- Press forward to do more damage

With luck, you should get 4 in one swing (which I did).

Edit: 50 hours of Smash? So tempted to hammer that one.

It tells you if you completed whatever mode with any character if you hover over them in the CSS.

 

[Out_Of_Ammo]

Anyone up for some 1 vs 1 or FFA?

 

[AdaWong]

My two tricks:

1: Pick Lucina
Spam Counter

I got 3 kills with her.



2: ZSS

tether with her whip and some idiotic Mii brawlers will fall into their death. It should give you 2 deaths (which is what you want for that challenge)

 

[OricWindstar]

Anyone up for some 1 vs 1 or FFA?

I'll do some 1v1.

 

[Berordn]

It tells you if you completed whatever mode with any character if you hover over them in the CSS.

It actually only gives you their high score, doesn't say anything about completion (or placing first, in Smash Run's case). Not as useful as it appears on first glance.

Damn, I hung on the ledge and kept up specialing and up airing through the stage as Ganon, it took a little bit, but it worked.

Allright, i'll make a room.

Pretty much everyone with counter that returns back a much stronger attack power works. I did 5 kills with Ike and 4 kills with Marth.

Cool. I'll be there in a couple of minutes.

Wii Fit Trainer's grab range is awful. > . <

Oh yeah, you are right. I am going to have to make a checklist for the Smash Run challenge (or hammer it). At least Classic and All-Star tells you if you beat it.

Did you use other two equipments?

 

[sonikokaruto]

Definitely not. Robin is awesome.

i really liked the managing of tomes/sword attacks.

It makes you play better by not wasting moves into the air (like, 90% of the time in this game)

 

[BitStyle]

Yeah, you really have to bait people in order to land it.

 

[Reaganomics]

How's the game with a standard 3DS? I'm curious how it's going to play since I've only used primarily a Gamecube controller for Smash games so I feel like I might be out of my comfort zone with it. The 3DS itself is a bit small for my hands so prolonged play tends to make me really sore/lose bloodflow after a while.

 

[Velcro Fly]

I also want to do all challenges with no hammers used.

I think I'm crazy enough to maybe be able to do that.

 

[Hazu]

I'm 0-8 in For Glory so far. I wish we had a proper online system that matches you against opponents of your caliber.

 

[TheSlySoul]

Master Core at 9.0 is easy with the critical hit badge. 300 KOs to get it.

Thanks, I think I am shy of 300 right now. Should get it if I beat Classic Mode.

I also want to do all challenges with no hammers used.

I think I'm crazy enough to maybe be able to do that.

You have to get 5 streetpasses to do it without a hammer, just saying.

 

[Velcro Fly]

Also is there a list anywhere out there of custom stuff you can unlock? Moves and items and such? I feel like that would be a worthwhile thing to have too. I am thinking way too hard about bringing order to Smash Bros.

 

[ErrorMacro]

I am so terrible at this game, but I can't help but be impressed with the people that aren't. I can't play without feeling like I'm fighting against the controls the entire time (oh the times I've tried to up B but up Y'd instead, for example), so it's actually kind of cool to see people who are able to use the shoulder buttons correctly and actually shield and roll to avoid attacks and then punish. Just played a guy that I beat when he used Robin and someone else, but then he swapped to Greninja and pretty much dominated me.

Eventually, you get used to it. I've played the demo so much that I ended up quite used to the controls.

What is truly annoying is this:

I can't count how many times I've lost a stock because it interpreted my Up+B as a Side+B and vice versa.

It happens waaay to much. It is more of a 3DS problem, though. The game is in no way unplayable, but it is far from perfect.

 

[JinjoUnchained]

Got this on Friday night and have been playing all weekend; it's excellent! Couple of questions from a heretofore casual Smash player:

1.) Is it just me or has Pitt been nerfed? He was my favorite in Brawl, but his down smash/special are both lame, his up smash/special aren't as good, his attacks seems slower and weaker, and they also gave him a really lame sound effect when he gets hits. Am I just not using him properly?

2.) Anyone else getting a Banjo Kazooie vibe from the Duck Hunt character? I love his Zapper-themed moves (clay pigeons, Hogan's Alley et al...)

 

[Poltergust]

Don't. Some of the challenges are ridiculous to try legitimately. It'll just limit you from playing the most fun part of the game (playing against other players).

I finished the "complete 100-man Smash with every character" challenge yesterday. I hated it and there are at least 5 worse challenges on the 3rd board. >_>

 

[Spinosaurus]

I beat Master Core 9.0 on my first try with Charizard. (no equips) Rock Smash is still a boss killer.

 

[emb]

Yeah, you really have to bait people in order to land it.

I played one For Glory match where I forgot to choose a character because I was reading NeoGaf. So I end up playing as Wii Fit Trainer against a Lucina. I have no idea how to play WFT. After a while I realized the the Lucina would attack my shield with an aerial and land every time, so I just shield grabbed the rest of the match. Worked the whole time. V. V

1. Pit is pretty buffed in this game. His only nerf is his recovery. But everything else has been much better. You probably just need to adjust to his new game.

2. A lot of people said that too. And yeah, DH is pretty awesome and annoying in a good way.

 

[R0ckman]

Yeah, it's not the Xenoblade English voice actor - at least not for his battle lines.

Yes it is, as far as I know, he popped up on twitter and said he was working on a new game he couldn't reveal. It was obviously Smash Bros.

 

[Moonlight]

It's for sure a really great mechanic, especially in terms of how it represents weapon uses in the actual FE games, but maaaaan if I didn't need to worry about Arcfire breaking, haha.

Thanks, it might be the 3DS controls too. I'll put some more time into Pit and try to get used to it.

 

[Gazoinks]

My only real complaint with Robin is that it can be hard to see when a book starts flashing on the tiny screen. Really cool mechanic, though.

 

[Spinosaurus]

but maaaaan if I didn't need to worry about Arcfire breaking, haha.

This is the moment where I start spamming the bike against Robin players online.

It's hilarious because they don't know what to do against it, at least until Arcfire is back and my bike goes boom.

 

[random25]

Rosalina as an opponent is starting to annoy me, in the level of Little Mac territory lol. Using Luma as a meat shield. I'm sure I hit a lot of attacks only to find out I only managed 58% the whole game.
