Hm?
I actually use it as my grab on Lucario since I really can't get the hang of grabbing in the game (I normally hold my N3DS without my left finger on the L button), lol.

To me it's still more like a projectile than grab. But what do I know, I never use Lucario.

Force Palm (at least the default; no clue about the other two alternates since I don't like them) in these games is both a grab and a projectile (I main Lucario, btw).

Totally don't remember it being reflectable in Brawl. >_>
That's my bad I guess but that doesn't make it any less dumb, lol.

If it wasn't in Brawl, then it was probably because the extended range and power it gets when Lucario gets high damage needed to be nerfed somehow.

EDIT: Well... I'm officially annoyed... http://nintendoeverything.com/lucario-amiibo-pre-orders-sold-out-on-toys-r-us/ They're back in stock for preordering... for now.

Checked the Wii U's Conquest and this week it's a "Holiday Hattack!" It;s Team Red Hat (Mario, Ness & Diddy Kong) against Team Green Hat (Link, Toon Link & Luigi)

Also if you want to add friends to the Wii U version, you have to add them from the Wii U menu I think, you have to check out the last few players you encountered in the game you last played, I got at least ONE friend >.> but if you want a battle, my Nintendo Network ID is: SoyokazeTsuki

10/10 would buy :^)

Only thing surprising is the lack of Fox. hahagetit

Rosalina is my main, btw.

Rofl, I got it.

Btw, people are saying Diddy Kong's OP and that he needs a nerf: http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2014/12/super_smash_bros_pro_players_tackle_the_problem_of_diddy_kong

That's just a public list, essentially a popularity contest; note that Mario is ranked #11 while Dr. Mario is #39. It will still take some time before accurate commentary can be given to tournament viability, especially when you consider things like custom moves and banned stages.

Incidentally, I have virtually no idea how to fight Sonic. I only see him online on occasion and his playstyle is so wildly different that I just wing it. Still not as bad as fighting good Lucarios and Little Macs.

‎

Lol I've never been a fan of these tier lists. Way too many factors too consider (and someone I know thinks I'm crazy for thinking so). I tend to have a lot of favourites that are no where near the top such as Ganondorf (who is my second or third favourite).

Even if he gets a nerf, players would then probably just find another character to rant on.



the fun thing is, Fox dominates Melee scene and everyone's somehow fine with that lol

because it's Fox

People rant on a ton of things all the time, it's just how humans are. Imo tier lists are just another thing that people rant about because "omg this dude's broken so i bet i can become uber pro by maining him wwww" is something that probably runs through some people's minds after seeing said tier lists...

What they fail to realise is the specifics of said character. It's like comparing it to other video games where you need mastery of x amount of characters, and even if character y is broken, if you're bad at it then you're still bad at it no matter how broken it may become.

So one of my friends showed me this... (I obviously don't recommend doing this, but it's still kinda interesting to watch.)

Mario forever <3

Following up on the previous video:

Gamebreaking at its finest. Even if there are ways to counter this, it needs to be fixed IMO.

1 of 2 things: 1-They nerf its UP B Special, 2-They input a new rule that penalizes any attempt of stalling the game, like Instant K.O. or something

Some interesting articles:

1. Reggie custom stage
2. You know amiibo are doing badly when... even Sakurai can't get the ones he wants
3. Interesting info found within the Wii U game
4. Falcon Potato

And for something that isn't SSB4-related: A Touhou SSB game coming to Wii U?

Figured I'd bump this thread back from the dead for mewtwo upcoming hype !! who's getting him and who isn't?

Anyone who registered both games will be getting it (doesn't have a gender), though I'm assuming codes won't be sent out till either next month or May.

Now we wait for Mew2King to pick him up and be the god of sm4sh

Place your bets now. What do you think will be its Final Smash:

1. Mega Mewtwo X
2. Mega Mewtwo Y
3. Something completely unexpected

I'm more hoping, than better on, for something unexpected. Really don't like the transformation thing. =/

The results are in: Mega Mewtwo Y is its Final Smash. Anyway, the Mewtwo DLC codes will be sent out on April 15, but for everyone else, you can purchase it on April 28 for $4.99/€4.99/500¥ for both games, or less for just one.

Lucas is also confirmed to be DLC.

wow Mega Mewywo Y I want to see ^_^

Just when I thought I couldn't get more hyped.

My body is ready, my wallet is not.

So, uhhh.

I'm going to vote for Ridley :^)

Not to shock anyone, but...

Seeing as they're all systems I don't have, neither.

I am thoroughly shocked. To imagine that other platforms would get a copy of the game, much less that their flagship characters aren't on the art. It boggles my mind </s>

A fun little video:



Meanwhile, did anyone notice this before?

They forgot Steam

To those who registered both games, check your email now for the Mewtwo DLC codes. They WILL expire, so use them ASAP!

EDIT: What fans found out about the recent update.

So uh. Possible info on new characters.


So what do you think? I wasn't really expecting Ryu and it'll probably be shown off at E3 or something. Still, I know Street Fighter is a pretty big series, and Nintendo x Capcom has a pretty good relationship. I don't have any quarrels with this choice if it is real.

Anyways, I played a few matches against some Mewtwo on my 3DS, and it's a pretty cool character. I really need to get the Wii U version someday soon.. (when I get a replacement charger for my wii u gamepad.. dumb dogs)

So apparently someone/a group found YouTube upload info on SSB Wii U which looks similar to Mario Kart 8's system.

EDIT: Seems like Sakurai will be announcing something himself on June 14.

He needs to get a LONG, LONG Vacation after all of this crap is done, or IF it's done. . .

Even after all of the originally-planned features and DLC stuff is out, I kinda doubt he'll ever be "done"...

Honestly, I already expected Roy to come back. Ryu was skeptical at first, but I didn't deny the possibility.

Well... not that I really care for either of them. I most likely won't be getting them as well as Lucas (unless we get another free offer just like Mewtwo back then.)

Hey, Nintendo does have some sweet bundle deals like they did with Mario Kart 8, so we might get some sweet deals too. Also, did any body notice the Zero and Mega Man exe. Mii fighter costumes? http://kotaku.com/supposed-smash-bros-l ... 1711085846

HYPED AS FUCK, Nintendo, I love you now more than ever <3

FOR REAL?

In all seriousness, Ryu will be as powerful as Little Mac, designed for ground CQC.

I sure can't wait for Etika's clickbait video of him screaming for 10 minutes. Ryu is literally Little Mac. Good thing I don't play For Glory.

I was expecting a Metsu Hadoken to be his Final Smash, Shin Shoryuken looks like a big risk taking special, kind of like Little Mac's.

For those who are curious about today's leaks and want to see more of it in detail via gameplay footage: http://nintendoeverything.com/footage-o ... nd-stages/

Lots of good stuff coming and the wii u I was using got an 160-1400 error, I hope I can get it fixed on time

Black Guile.

Ryu seems a little bit more technical and thus more useful than Little Mac. (and ultimately casuals are going to spam his specials at the most inapropriate times in FG)
Given that you can additionaly input the original directional commands to perform a stronger version of those specials - it'll add another layer of depth in his arsenal.
At least you can controll how far you can travel with his side-b and it locks at edges when using the ground version, so it's pretty foolproof.

He also can cancel out his normals into specials which would open up more options for Ryu to combat certain strategies + Focus Attack (Dash Cancel) is a thing.

Crimmi wrote:

Shinku Hadoken is probably good for crowd control and racking up damage fast to kill them with the many kill moves that he has, while Shin Shoryuken literaly is Little Macs K.O Punch: Doesn't kill at 0% but does so extremely early - might kill at 0% at stages with low ceilings like Halberd.

Also it looks like Ryu might have limited options offstage and a difficult time dealing with gimps + his arials only look "okay" at best.
Certainly miles better than Little Macs, but not good enough to rely on them.

Anyways, it's super strange to see Ryu in a Super Smash Bros. game but i'm hyped AF to bring fighting streets to FG.

On another note, Nintendo is giving people who have uploaded those leaked videos a copyright strike, even the linked videos here have been removed - here's a mirror but i highly doubt it'll last another 24h




It must suck very hard to be Sakurai, if all your hard work and effort you've funneled into something to create an epic reveal is ruined by one simple person who either happens to be working at the same team (worse; someone who've worked directely under Sakurais hands) but broke NDA or someone who just knows computers and stuff.
Eitherway, i feel like it ruins the fun of the job he has - when the ability of ripping the curtains on something people have been looking forward to is taken away from you.
It sucks all the joy of continuing to even make announcements anymore in my opinion.

Man, thinking about this just makes me feel even worse for Sakurai.

On a completely different note:

So.

Ryu, Roy, and Lucas are out.

Lovely.

Everything that's been previously leaked is available as DLC TODAY.

i thought they would release them bit by bit so that i could be be mentaly prepared for them but damn okay, it's going to be that way i guess??
Sudden influx of new characters in For Glory, it's going to be beautiful testing out the new matchups.

After the leaks happened, I kinda doubt they'd release things bit by bit... lol.

Also, I need to clarify something: Tourney Mode and replay uploads via YouTube (old and current, including the incompatible ones) are coming later.

Finally, this happened. (P.S. The Miiverse Stage can't be played online.)

JV3'd 1 of them with Ganon using the ultimate technique of side-b tech chasing (also known as the casual saltmaker) and lost 1 stock by accident with Jiggly because i underrestimated the Focus Attack special.

Can totally confirm, Ryu seems to be hard to play and gimped easy as hell if you just put them on edge. (mentally and literally)

I'm actually curious, anyone has met any Roys yet?

You mean... has anyone else been able to update yet? ._.

I've seen 2 Lucases, 4 Roys and 4 Ryus

I saw the trailer and I will say one thing...


Japanese voice audio or riot.

Man... Reggie sucks so much on SSB4 /NintendoWorldChampionships2015

I saw that, literally worse than For Glory.

The final DLC is out.

Can't wait to try Bayonetta~

A-another game I want.

Totally not broken. Nope. (WTF?!?!)

Blazevoir wrote:

There is something called DI you know, every know bayonetta zero to death so far requires at least 3 50/50 reads and poor DI, the likeliness of it actually happening in tournament play is next to none, so you can breathe easy.

She does however get about 45% off these combos if executed correctly and a 50/50 to extend it; and everyone's going to take the 50% that won't let them go off the top and die so yeah she is deadly but not as deadly.

You just have to treat Beyo like brawl ice climbers; never approach. Her only approach is down B and you can just shield and grab/punish however you like.

Also treat her Down air like Ike's Neutral air; show a good ammount of respect toward it and you can get quick punishes or if you're feeling confident with the timing perfect pivot (perfect) shield to grab/punish.

There anyone having issues staying connected to the network? I tried to play with a friend over Wifi and I kept kicking booted off the network five minutes into two different games. Sitting right beside the modem too. =( Shame because it was lag free until I get disconnected.
