Topic: Super Smash Bros. for Wii U - OT

So have you guys been able to train your amiibo to use custom moves? I recently got Link's strong custom now (long charge, but really powerful when fully charged) and my level 20 amiibo wouldn't charge it so the arrow just dropped. Even after 5 levels too.

Transferred all my Miis, and it seems like the limit for Miis is 25, meaning I'm probably not going to be making any more Mii characters.

....Of course I can't get used to normal controls anymore after playing the 3DS version, gotta use X and Y for grabs and shields. xD

Sorry for attention whiting, but I think this is hilarious and more people should see it (and laugh at my pain).

Ah yes, the infamous Bury Card Combo. Never happened to me but I've seen a couple of people talk about it.

I have only one gripe with the game... How come you can't use a 3DS to play solo or coop modes??? I don't understand why they wouldn't allow that...

DK Rap in confirmed in! Unlocked it by doing Trophy Rush with DK! Also it seems you get a lot of the stages from event matches, in case anyone was wondering.

Perhaps you need to create straight-line corners to get a grabbable edge corner, like in this video at about 1:30? (We don't get Smash in Europe until a week from now, so I can't check.)

I played online against one guy one guy! and lost 23 times in a row. >.> Only won one game. At least I unlocked two characters.

You do know your losses are counted right?But if you lost that many times in row,i would advise training and then play online again when you get some more skill,cause oh my god that's too many times to lose but i hope you're exaggerating.

Always quit after 2 loses, and just select 1-on-1 (or whatever it was) again. You need to fight someone else at that point.

I'm aware. I don't care about my win ratio, I never look at it. I've been practicing to get better. Maining Megaman and JIGGS. I'm just waiting on my adapter, I think a big part of it is how uncomfortable the Gamepad is for me. I just really need to practice fast falling and short hops.

Anyone who crushes me usually does so because they can combo too well or have grasp of a strat that I care not to learn. Also I go on tilt, at least when playing 1-on-1, so its better for me honestly. If I'm well matched with someone I may stay longer, but otherwise its not worth my frustration.

I generally dislike losing but they make for a good experience if the opponent wasn't cheap. Whenever I do 1-on-1 matches, I occasionally play against some who doesn't let up, which is a turn-off if they never change characters. Other times, win or lose; I have a really great time; albeit that's a bit rare.

A rule I sometimes follow is to start a match by taunting (or play it safe and stay still for a bit then taunt). If the opponent taunts back (or does a silly gesture), I have a good time regardless since I feel we both understand that it's all in good fun. Like Smash Etiquette or something.

Hmmm, I should probably do that sometime.

So what does anyone have to say about the amiibos? What are your experiences with them? I'm trying to soak up info about how they learn to battle but I find Youtube videos do a bad job of showing it.

I don't get Smash here until in a week, but I found the YouTube video from IGN with 8-player Smash and 8 amiibos interesting. The winner amiibo was trained by someone else than the rest, IIRC.

I talked to a streamer to request a battle against a lvl. 19 Samus amiibo, It pretty much won nearly every battle from 4 player free for alls and 2-2 team battles.

Ok picked it up today and from the hour I've played of it I can already say it's my favorite Smash! My GOTY 2014 definitely!

Just got the game and it is amazing for as much as I've played. Haven't got to try out all the stages but I did get to try out all of the Mario ones plus Jungle Hijinx, 75m, etc. Jungle Hijinx is really good as well as Mushroom Kingdom U. I have no complaints with the stages thus far. Classic was much better than I expected (I did the co-op version). I was really excited for the stage builder but I found the drawing mechanic to be a little restricted. For example, if you draw an "A" then the fighter might spawn inside the A which was kind of annoying. I've only unlocked Falco so far because I've been doing some other modes. I also got to try out the events which are really fun but I've only done the co-op ones so far. Overall, I still need to try out more but I'm really excited to continue and unlock all the trophies and music. (sorry for the length of the post)
