Topic: Super Smash Bros. for Wii U - OT

Does anyone else use tap jump? Bayos up special, jump, up special is hard to pull off as you end up using the jump during the initial special.

@Plateface: What is tap jump? (Sorry for the stupid question)

@Chandlero: tapping the left stick up to jump, not using a button. I tend to use tap jump and then short hop with a button but I can't unlearn using it to recover.

Playing on the 3ds made me used to jumping by button, tap jumping was disruptive so I turned it off.

Now I always turn it off, even on the console versions.

Just tried out the two new DLC characters. Talk about overpowered!

Bayonetta has some sick aerial combo game, theoretically infinite, good recovery, brutal edge guard, and the best counter ability in the game. I really hate that they left her guns intact, that's just endorsing passive and spammy playstyles.

Corrin is a well-rounded character, good recovery, good edge guarding, strong counter, and a really strong ground game. Plus a ranged, water-based attack that... stuns? Ok.

@Plateface: Thanks. That is a thing that exists since the very first Smash Bros. game. I use this in combination with buttons casually. I didn't know you can disable this function.

@Chandlero: most players disable it because you risk accidentally using your second jump, and it makes getting an up tilt more awkward but I can't play without it so meh lol.

Just found out that the clock on bays stage actually shows ur own time! even moves in game like a clock in the battlefield.

@Undead_terror: Just like how the Kirby's Dream Land stage on the 3DS shows the power level of the 3DS with the Power bulb. I love those little touches.

I'm currently running a small little amiibo tourny among my collection, feel free to watch the standings and speculate on the winners.

I'm honestly rooting on Robin, but we'll see.

@Santa: I'm going for Sonic, Dark Pit, and Pikachu.

I suppose I should clarify it's 3 stock, items on, Omega stages, and I hand trained every amiibo (minus Greninja, as he was already max level when I got him on Ebay).

Bayonetta is fun as hell — I'll definitely be putting her into my regular rotation. I think my favorite ancillary perk is that with the addition of her Umbra Clock Tower stage, there's less a chance of starting All Star mode with the god-forsaken Pokemon Kalos League stage. Stage hazards in All Star mode make me want to shank someone.

@VelvetElvis: I always found Skyworld to be the worst stage to start All Star on.

Corrin feels like Marth in Melee and that's a good thing

Bloody heck Bayonetta is great and probably my main from now on, I can't even be bothered to try Corrin as Bayonetta is too much fun.

@GrumbleVolcano, though Skyworld definitely limits launchability, I never minded it as much. Kalos league is just hazard on top of hazard, especially when you're trying to launch multiple foes and they're bouncing off of two enormous swords (and back into your face) ad nauseam. Man, and don't get me started on ending up with Flat Zone X for your last All Star battle. I'm not an Omega-version purist or anything (crazy stages are really fun for casual play), but I feel like the majority of my losses in All Star are stage-related.

So in any case, it's nice to have the Clock Tower in play.

Does anyone ever play the preset tourneys? Its always empty lol.

I wish they would remove all the options and keep one only thats similar to official tournaments. 1vs1, 2 stock, no customs, for glory and battlefield etc. Bad execution sadly. I would like to play it but its always dad >

If anyone reads this. Wanna help make one of the better ones active with me? Its the small one with 8 players. for glory/battlefield 2 stock. Please join

I'm loving Corrin and Bayonetta. I am having trouble with Bayonettas Down B , I can't seem to time it right.

Bayonetta is fantastic, easily my favourite character now.
