Topic: Super Smash Bros 3DS discussion thread

I personally used a custom Bowser with maximum defense and better recovery moves. It took me a few tries, so it's not perfect, but it worked. I've also heard Ganondorf is useful but I haven't tried him.

Which Specials & Equipment did you use?

I finally unlocked all of the characters! Man, Bowser Jr. and Duck Hunt are so boss!

It really takes practice more than anything else. It took me a while to beat it the first time (did it with Bowser), but I just beat it with my Mii Swordfighter first try.
Same goes for All-star. For a time I wouldn't even think to do it on hard; now that's as easy as normal was.

Bowser is definitely one of the best though, since you can finish off most any round by grabbing the cpu with your side-B and jumping off the ledge.

Easiest way to beat 9.0 is use custom equipment with good stats. You can focus on the character's weakness (i.e. Speed for slow) or go overboard with strengths (i.e. Attack for Ganondorf). Just keep note of what stat is going down.

I personally didn't find Classic 9.0 that hard. I've only done it once but I beat it on my 3rd with Mega Man, no customs. I would've beaten it first try if I knew what to expect from Master Core's Giant form. Nothing's stopping you from taking the easy Blue paths on 9.0 either, that helps.

Okay, I've unlocked all the custom outfits. Getting close to 100%...so close...

Yay! Just got my copy of Smash Bros. yesterday! It's good so far and Mini is so cool!
I thought I had Kirby's moves pinned down but it seems I had a little problem controlling him well. Of course, the fact that I put the difficulty on 5 doesnt help. Anyway I'm getting the hang of him, so I'm good.

Helpful hint for beating the 4 KO in Cruel smash challenge.

Create a heavy Mii Gunner character, and make their neutral special the grenade shooter. Then, go on either edge of the battlefield facing inwards and use your down smash. Because of their inability to use specials, this attack dumps them off the stage and leaves them vulnerable. This works best with 1-2 miis at a time.

If you are overwhelmed and need space, or you want to rack up damage, the grenade and side smash are your friends. Because the grenade locks enemies in hitstun and have a large range, they can be used to temporarily incapacitate the team. Your side smash has huge range, so when you find all 4 minis ganging up on you, that should give you space and build damage.

Try to stay out of the air though.

I'm calling this the Walter White method since I used his Mii to do this.

Or just use Kirby to swallow miis and spit them out under the stage. I got about 7 or 8 KOs that way.

Hmm never thought of that.

Using Marth or Ike's down b is also easy.

Anyone with a Counter move (barring Peach's) can do very decently in Cruel Smash.

I'm can't stay with one character very often, there's just so many choices! Despite that WFT's my main.

There's an update?

I can't remember if I read this somewhere, but do new updates delete your replays? That sounds dumb, but I swear I heard it somewhere.

Yeah, it says that it's possible that could happen in the manual or when you first go into the replays section or something. It makes sense, since a replay is basically the game recording button presses, so if a character, say, becomes faster, when the game attempts to replay a match with that character, he would end up going faster and farther than before which totally mess up the replay and everything would be off. So I'm wondering too, does this update delete replays and should I record the ones I want to keep before updating?

Word, brother man.

So has anyone found the update yet?

EDIT: Downloaded the update, the Yoshi glitch and my replays are safe! Nothing really looks different except the current conquest having question marks by percentages instead of actual results.
