Man oh man is Rosalina fun to play. I'm really starting to get a hang of spacing with Luma and really feels like a fresh way to play. So satisfying to land a big smash attack with the little guy while you're 100 feet away.

Fighter records.
Also, while I like the new structure of Classic Mode, the last two stages really could have been better implemented with regards to variation. The themed 'defeat groups of enemies' end of round Smash Run challenges would be a great option to have instead of fighting a Mii team every time, and allowing characters such as Wario-Man, Giga Mac, Giga Bowser and Mega Lucario to be fought as bosses as one of the final paths instead of Master/Crazy Hand/Core would have also been welcome.
Ooooh thank you, i'll take a look at that. That helps loads.

But you don't fight a Mii team every time. I've definitely fought Villagers, Mega Man's, and ROBs.

Really? It always feels like random chance to me, especially the free for all ones. It goes for what, 30 or 60 seconds? Barely enough time to get one or two kills.

I had this experience. I was so enraged I switched to the Ganondorf Smash Bomb method for grinding his customs. It will take forever, but I can just mash "A" and read a book on the side.

Yeah, it is under Smash Run < Victories.
Still a bit annoying they could not add an extra stat to the main Smash screen so we did not have to go back and forth.

You know I think they might include online times. Maybe.
My Smash Play Time is 5:25 and my Group Play Time is 3:29, with 3:02 of that being online matches and I got the 10 hours of play achievement a little while back.....

Huh. I've seen a few of these comments but honestly have never experienced something like that. It was an adjustment when I first started playing the demo (and sure, circle pad certainly isn't optimal for this game), but now that I'm used to it I haven't really have a problem.
The circle pad is causing problems fairly often for me as well. Side B / Up B confusion is common, and it's much more difficult to distinguish between the correct amount of force for tilts and smashes than with a proper controller, especially considering how fragile the pad is.
It's probably just my awful luck, then.
No Johns. B)
Nah, the controls do kinda suck. They're not awful, they work, but they leave a lot to be desired. It seems like the analog stick thresholds are a little off balance. I'd like to see something like this for Smash 4 to see how it compares. I'm looking forward to the console version too, but mostly for the c-stick.

Lol I'm impulsive like that all the time, especially with Sheik coz I feel like I could get to them before they get to me. It almost never works in my favor. :/

Are you required to battle Master Core for that challenge or are you allowed to just do Master Hand on his own?

Smash Run can be amusing at times though. I did random and got speedy Greninja (faster than Sonic) and it was a battle. I thought for sure I would lose, then it went to sudden death for all. Since speed is the best thing in sudden death, I won it easy.
Also if the challenge does include online then 50 hours is way less stupid. I wish Solo mode hours were included in the challenge.

You are not given a path choice on 9.0. It also does not matter which hand you defeat, the other one transforms into Master Core. So yeah, you have to face all forms. The best advice is high defense because rage really helps take down his forms.

One time I ran through and fought Giant Donkey Kong and the Yoshi Team! That was super cool nostalgia right there, I just needed Metal Mario to complete it (I've actually never seen Metal Mario come up as a fight at all).
You can get a team of random characters on the harder difficulties. I've have everything from Yoshi to an entire team of ROBs.

Yes. You can pre-order it and the controllers and adapter separately if you want.
Edit: If you mean with a Wii U then I don't think so. Misread.

Yeah, lots of time I press A over to smash someone and it registers as a generic a over move instead of a smash move. And this isn't even a matter of me getting used to the controls; I've played the game for over 40 hours. Its just really inconsistent due to the circle pad.
I used Megaman with 38 Attack/0 Defense/ 2 Speed and demolished Master Core. Metal Blade eats through his forms like they're candy.

Serious question - what's keeping the 3ds version from becoming irrelevant once Wii U smash is out, outside of portability?
More people owning a 3DS than WiiU?
Raptomex
Member
Nothing I guess. But still, portable Smash. But when I'm at home, I'll definitely always choose the Wii U version.
SkyTurnsRed

True. Didn't consider this.
Nothing really, but it depends on what you care about.
Personally I tend to bring Smash with me anyway, just have to find an outlet to plug in at. I rarely have a chance to play handhelds outside of home. The 3DS version is just a gimped controller to me.
But since we're ignoring portability, you still have 3D, unique stages, and Smash Run. If you like any of those the 3DS is your go to.
Well with that one, you can also bring them to your Wii U and hand them a controller.

I wonder if customize items/moves will be easier to collect on 3DS. Everyone can transfer them into WiiU with multiple 3DSs, then transfer back. Also Smash Run.
TheSlySoul

I already knew Master Core was weak to Metal Blade as well. I am surprised you did not get knocked out by sword form though. Either way, glad I never have to do that again (unless the Wii U version has the same challenge and I cannot transfer my results...)

The 3DS controls are definitely not ideal, but this sounds like user error. Don't blame the controls like they are just performing ghostly inputs against your will.
You mean you don't enjoy using a 3rd party means of communication like texts or gaf to discuss who should open the room?

To anyone who is having connection problems: try switching your wireless channel from your router (channel 4 works well for me); this fixed all my connection issues and now I hardly have any lag, whereas before it was Brawl-level awful.
This has been mentioned but interesting how the game is built to accommodate alternate costumes and skins, and yet, clone characters like Dr. Mario, Dark Pit and Lucina exist. Alph doesn't take up a character slot. Neither classic Wario nor any of the Koopa Kids or Villager's alts take of slots either. It begs the question as to what the devs were thinking. I mean, what next? Could Dixie be an alt for Diddy? Could Roy be an alt for Marth? Mewtwo for Lucario? Instead of wasting precious roster slots on clones, they could have been alternate skins instead, leaving all slots available to unique or new characters. Just a thought...

You could try to see if your Circle Pad is calibrated correctly in the seeting menu of the 3DS

I will stay play it. I take it to work everyday and practice combos while my breaks or at my desk if not busy. Will come in handy for boring in law visits as well lol
Uhh, no. I don't know what the fuck you are talking about.

I kill myself constantly as Greninja with the same issue--forward B instead of the up B I intended, so I don't think it's his fault. That said...I almost never have the same issue with Sheik, which is odd.

My biggest issue now on 3DS is that I can't pull of smashes as quickly as I would like.
superNESjoe
Member
Yeah, ok man. Nothing is ever the result of your mistakes, right? How would you explain the millions of players who don't have that issue? How would you explain the incredible players on here playing against each other and not doing that, myself never having that issue, and pro players never complaining that "up b performs a side b".
User error.
Yeah at this point the aching for a GC controller is kind of frustrating me. I haven't gotten any cramps or anything luckily considering how long I've been playing, but the 3DS's control scheme just can't keep up with my hands in Smash. So many times I've wanted to do something, but my fingers have just felt too wrapped up to do it. And yeah, with the circle pad I get the up b/side b shit too, and general trouble doing quick movements and even sometimes stuff like smash attacks. It's annoying.
I'm glad this version exists and it's awesome for what it is, but all it's making me do now is want the Wii U version really bad.
