Topic: Super Smash Bros. for Wii U - OT

I've had more problems with Kirby players than Sonic players. Sonic is pretty predictable. His speed is the only problem which is easily remedied with projectiles or preemptive strikes/grabs. kirby on the other hand as shown in the Art of kirby video I mentioned is a tough lil bugger to deal with all around.

I just found out you can change the character's victory screen animations via holding the d-pad in a certain direction when "GAME!" pops up...

Did anyone else know about this?

What??? Really???

Izaw is awesome. He was a fellow Wolf main back in Brawl. I learned some of Wolf's moves from watching him.

To Tarrazu

"I don't think his up-tilt is particularly good, so I'm going to assume you mean his up-air. Don't even try to challenge Sonic when he's below you; just air dodge or DI away."
Yeah, I meant his up air. I don't know his moveset mapping really well, so forgive me for the confusion.

"I'm pretty sure Sonic's side-B (the dash) has no priority whatsoever, so you should be able to stop it with Kirby's rapid jab; keep in mind that Sonic can jump out of the dash and do an aerial, though."
I'm well aware of the Kirby's jab stopping dash attack, but Sonic's aerial follow is the frustrating part. I think I'll just try to dodge or shield, then punish him.

"This is just speculation, as I play neither Sonic nor Kirby, but I feel like the Kirby does very poorly against Sonic. Sonic has great aerials (f-air, n-air, and u-air all come out very quickly, and his b-air is great for killing) and Kirby, being primarily an aerial-based character, will have difficulties in finding an opening to attack. I'd say that, overall, Kirby's aerial kit is about equal to Sonic's; this wouldn't be a problem on its own, but Sonic--from what I've observed--also has much better throws, speed, and overall ground game."
I don't really want to think this, but it might be the truth. Expert Sonic players seem to give me a problem all the time.

"Kirby seems to be either matched or outclassed by Sonic in nearly every area aside from recovery, so I feel like you'll have difficulties with Sonic even if you are more skilled than the Sonic player."
Then I'll have to try and use characters that have an arsenal of projectiles, like Duck Hunt. However, I want to be able to beat all sort of characters with my main main. I guess that's just one of the advantages of having more than one main.

"The best advice I can give is to simply find a good Sonic player and practice against them."
Hence why I suggest there should be some sort of system in which you can select the character you want to play with for practice.

Thanks.

That's been a thing since Brawl at least. Not sure if Melee had that feature

@VeeFlamesNL When Sonic tries to roll into you so he can follow with his up aerial thigh clap just shield. They always do the thigh clap anyway and that leaves them wide open. Also yeah, you never want Sonic below you. Don't even try to do anything except GTFO if he is.

Recently I've been using Megaman as my primary and going down the line to Toon link, duckhunt and captain falcon. Since I don't have the gamecube adapter/controller combo I don't play as often on the Wii U. When I do kirby is there lol. I feel I'd do better if i weren't using the clunky gamepad or the uncomfortable pro controller. The 3DS is where it feels like equal ground though my 3ds is now 3yrs old and wearing out from smash alone.....i've had to superglue the circle pad back on.lol

@Nintyman Nothing new there. I don't think anyone doubts that the Smash DLC is genuine

Take your time, Sakurai. We're looking forward to it. Heck, I'm already getting what I wanted !

When will Mewtwo be released to the public?

@Sakurai You of all people should know

I have got to say I am loving the amount of content in this game I love smash obviously but target blast and all of the stadium games are awesome, classic all star and the orders are great, smash tour took a little getting used to but is fun I love taking pictures of my trophies and making cool dioramas with them and listening to the music player and sharing pictures and using my amiibo and building stages. I'm currently trying to do the events which is fun but my favourite thing of all is the challenges I love this game.

Is Sharing mode useless when consolebanned from Miiverse? Because I can't share my custom stages.

I've got a conversation starter. Let's say that with the five "Mario" slots, that is it for DLC. We know Mewtwo was already listed in his own slot in the character data, and Lucas takes up one of those slots (yay).

Now, lets assume that the Roy and Ryu thing actually happens, and three of the five slots go to Lucas, Roy, and Ryu. There's two left over, who do you want those spots to go to?

Now this is convoluted, and all, but I was curious who everyone wanted when limited to a small number using what partial post Mewtwo info we have.

I'd honestly go with Wolf right away. If I can only choose two, Ryu fills that third party slot, and is a newcomer. Mewtwo, Lucas and Roy and wanted cut veterans, and Wolf is highly requested.

My second pick is hard. I want Snake for multiple reasons. I've never played any of their games, but Isaac, Wonder Red, and even Shovel Knight look like good fits to the roster. Impa, Dixie Kong, and Krystal are highly requested female characters from series that didn't get a newcomer this time. K. Rool could work as well instead of Dixie.

I think if there two slots left, I think one should go to Wolf, and one should go to Isaac. Wolf would complete the highly requested first party veterans, and Isaac being one of the games with almost no representation should get his moment.

What about you guys?

Roy isn't blue haired!

Honestly, Duster, Poo, Kumatora, Paula, Flint, or even Porky would be interesting, but I'm just happy they decided to bring back Lucas (pre-ballot!), so I don't want to jinx anything by wanting more.

Agitha is one I didn't think of though. I do think Impa would deserve it more, and her recent design is battle ready and cool, but Agitha would be the strangest pick for Zelda representation.

Edit. Oops. Nothing beats Tingle at weirdness, but he's an assist so oh well...

It's very tough to nail it down to two. I'm not very passionate about my wanted newcomers since I pretty much got who I wanted with Smash 4 already, but...

Impa, King K Rool, or Krystal all could fit in nicely as newcomers and they're highly requested, but I'm not really that enthusiastic about them myself (same goes for Wolf). I'd love it if Snake returned but I'm not sure that's going to happen, and Shantae or Shovel Knight would be fantastic but I think it's a stretch. There might just be too much work to bring any of those 3rd-party characters in.

Besides those, the only characters left that I want are Isaac, Wonder Red, Inkling, Chorus Men, and Kumatora (not happening now with Lucas). I think the first three have the best shot, so if I had to get my hopes up for those two character slots, I hope they'll be Isaac and Wonder Red. I would say Inkling or Chorus Men but I just can't be sure they'd make good fighters.

And I'll be honest — I'm excited for Ryu, but I hope this rumor isn't true because I could definitely do without Roy taking up that space.

Well, Wolf, obviously. As for the last slot, it can't be Rayman because if Ryu DOES happen, it'd pretty much kill any chance of that happening, so King K. Rool. He has a lot of moveset potential, and there's a lot of people who support the idea of him being in Smash.

Does anyone think Sega and Konami will get another representative in Smash bro's to counter's Capcom' Ryu? Like Konami can release Snake for Smash and Sega will release anything? That's what i been wondering with this Ryu thing.

If Namco got a second rep, I think Lloyd Irving would make the most sense as he's seen a lot of Nintendo exposure. Even though he's 'another anime swordsman', he'd have a unique moveset.

I'm not really sure who'd make a good second Sega rep. Maybe they could use AiAi or Amigo but I think I'd just pick Tails or Shadow if he wasnt already an AT.

And I would really love if Snake came back and Simon Belmont was a second Konami rep. With Kojima leaving Konami I'm not really sure it would be easy to have Snake in again, though.
