@NEStalgia I mean, Xenoblade didn't invent perks on gear. If anything it's like an evolution of held items from Pokemon, and I'm sure Pokemon didn't do that mechanic first. I get more Pokemon vibes than Xenoblade vibes.

Really though you need to use 3-4 star primary Spirits if you got them. They're going to make all the difference. Dojos that increase attributes like defense (at the cost of offense) or offense (at the cost of defense) also make a difference. Some support Spirits are also key.

I don't think Spirit management is much of a big deal since the auto-pick gets you as close as possible, then you can use other favorite Spirits for the job. For example for The Boss, I could pick out poison floor resist (not immunity) and keep my Giant Zapfish Spirit so I can still go in and punch ZSS outta there like nobody's business.

Level 99 Spirits are also pretty easy. Snacks and SP get Spirits to level 99 extremely quickly. And you can always use Doc Louis's gym to let four guys level up on their own while you do other things. It's like Merc Missions from Xenoblade 2, except way more convenient since it works even if you have the game off and it's quicker to get people in and out.

Metroid, Xenoblade, EarthBound shill

@EvilLucario I'm not sure auto gets you that close, it seems bent on equalizing level, so i often get 1 slot 2 star spirits etc. I didn't really pay much attention too it before, assuming the game always knows best.

Personally i would never think of things like ignoring Poison immunity in favor of giant, I'd always focus on immunity above all else (or lips stick if i trust the auto )

I discovered tron bonne is lv99 though, so i do have 1. I gave James mccloud snacks to lv50 now that i have him, too. I've been hoarding all my snacks so far. I do not spend consumables in games unless they're is no other choice (999 cheese blocks in Skyrim is definitely me. )

Yeah it's very Pokemon, and yeah, xc2 took the worst parts on Pokemon and make them worse.

Try Ness or Lucas, they’re fun and can be acrobatic. Mewtwo is cool if you’ve gotten the hand of dodging, too.

1186 spirits and 80 hours later. I'm on the last stretch though I'm still getting bullied by the Metroid Queen and... Baby Bowser of all things.

Damn this Golden Dash Mushroom. The fight is ok, but its the shooting of the Spirit itself thats killing me. Have no items to slow the shield down. Ahhh well, I guess I still have a couple of days.
Just got it, thank goodness. Dont even want to think how many times I tried it, itll probably make me cry. lol

does an 8-player smash, puts ALL CPUS AT LEVEL 3, is still the first to die and the fight continues on for 20 minutes

....I'm starting to hate this game. The AI is still infuriating, they always target me, regardless.

Are you using Giant Killer? Soma Cruz can really help you out. Also I recommend using the spirit board item that gradually decreases their HP and evade as many attacks as you can.

I defeated Metroid Queen mostly by spamming projectiles and up smash with Link
Baby Bowser I defeated with one move only: Ike's up special... that worked somehow

On a different note... this game isn't really kind to completionists. No reward or milestone for completing all challenges, no reward for collecting all the soundtracks, no reward for collecting all the Mii outfits. I guess there won't be a reward for collecting the 1300+ spirits either. I know they're still adding stuff, but still...

@JackEatsSparrows Might try Mewtwo then.

I recommend using all the characters maybe with the exception of echoes. No seriously, the experience you get from using every character for a while will give you a deeper understanding of smash's mechanics and it will help you understand your opponent.

@BMO_Advanced Post-launch content is the key, there'll probably be more challenges added in 2019/2020 and while DLC music is confirmed via the Fighters Pass there may be free music in future updates too. So in the end the milestones unlock around February 2020.

@Joeynator3000 Ok, good, it isn't just me then.

I swear the AI in this game are a bunch of teaming sods. Half of the time they are blatantly teaming: I once got knocked across the map into Dark Pit who had been charging up smash, with no one around him, and lost a life.

@GeeEmm Even though you got it now, if you've already unlocked the 'activity' areas in WoL, you can send primaries and secondaries out for items.

So I'm not the only one, what's even worse are the final smashes, they always target you. Regardless if you're in last place or not. I said it before, but the AI needs to be patched if they're this viscous at level 3. Back on Wii U/3DS I could handle around level 6 and 7 CPUs and play the way I want to, yet on this game I can't even deal with a level 3. :/

It's similar to the Star Wars Battlefront 2005 AI where they'd have eyes for no-one but you, even if a greater threat was nearby. I've managed to handle the few regular battles I have played, but they do seem to be going for me more often than normal.

Ya'll make me think I broke my game somehow. I'm still able to toss around CPU players till around lvl 5 before it's somewhat tough. Then again, I've always played against at least 3 CPU at a time, so maybe I'm just too used to being targeted. That's kinda how I play online, though. I home in on one player and go to town until I'm satisfied, even if others are clearly trying to fight me.

Wait....am I a CPU player?!?

I'm not really talking about Classic or Spirit battles though, just normal Smash battles. The best way to see it is 8-player smash, having Final Smashes will prove it even further. Characters like Pit, Bowser, and even ones like zero-Suit Samus and Lucario, they will ALWAYS GO FOR YOU, even when you're losing badly. And for them, their Final Smashes seem to always take you out even when you're at 0%. (unless you're on a big stage, which I don't play on often, don't like them. lol)

Battles with Level 9 CPUs can get a bit rough, but they should, considering they're at the highest difficulty level.

I'm not particularly great at Smash (an actually skilled player could easily grind me under their heel), but I find any CPU under Level 6 in this game to be an absolute cakewalk.

@Ralizah Same here. I think Sanya is just controlling the CPU players like in Duck Hunt, and Joey hasn't caught on yet. I don't have to worry about it since Jack only has one eye. No depth perception means he doesn't care, haha.

Side note, I made a playlist with a bunch of the New Remix and Medley versions of tunes, and have been jammin out with it turned up to 11 on my speakers since I'm the only occupant in my office building today. Man, this music really is fantastic.
