Topic: Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

Hey all, been taking a break from Smash. Planning to hop back in this weekend for the Spirit event (I swear I'll grab the real Labo when I have more room) I just had a question. Am I able to play Piranha Plant's Classic Mode without worrying aboutmy save data? I assume that that was fixed, but I wanted to ask to be sure.

@Andrew5678 I’ve not seen the PP issue brought up again since, so I’d imagine it’s safe. Thanks for the reminder about the Spirit event!

@AlohaPizzaJack I hope so. I haven't heard anything recently either, so I assume it was fixed (no way anyone wouldn't be constantly harping on this, and rightfully so). Still, probably going to turn my Cloud off when i get around to it eventually to be safe until I get through it without a hitch, just to make sure.

On another note, good luck boxing this weekend

Random opinion here:

(Dark)Pit might be the most underrated character in the game. Pit's a character who I think needs a lot of practice because his hit-box's are kinda odd placed. Also, he doesn't have any moves that kill at ridiculous low percents. His attacks are mostly balanced. I did however notice some strange priority on certain moves. (not talking about side-B's super armor).

Pit has a lot of tools at his at his disposal and by far the best recovery in the game. If he isn't directly launched into the blast zone he can always manage to get back. One of Pit's best pressure tools is neutral air: it works wonders against opponents who like to jump. It's super safe to use out-of-shield too, probably one of the best out-of-shields in the game.

Down special is also an excellent move. Down special doesn't just reflect projectiles it also makes you temporarily invincible against any move that isn't coming from directly above or below. Not for very long, so timing is still important. Down special is very useful for controlling chaos in Team Battle or Smash.

After playing the Pit's for a while my other mains felt lacking. Palutena said that everything an angel can do a godess can do better. So after playing both Pit's in Elite smash I gave her another try and came to the conclusion that this is false. Palutena has flaws I can't really put my finger on. She is great on paper: her down special is both a counter and a reflector, eplosive flames are an unstoppable projectile and autoreticle tracks your opponent. But it doesn't win me any games somehow... Maybe it just comes down to practice again.

So who's better? Pit or Pittoo? I really can't tell honestly.

2 questions guys:

1: So I can get all the Persona Spirits in the vault, minus the Joker spirits (I don't have the Joker dlc)?

2: Do you guys recommend summoning spirits by giving up spirits you have. I mean, I now have 1128 spirits. Obtaining the rest will be more difficult. I have summoned a few, but only with the cores of dismissed duplicate spirits. I rather not give up spirits, but it may be the easiest way to get a bunch of the remaining ones.

i completely missed the labo event :/ will these spirits be in the shop anytime soon?

@Arbor Probably when the 4.0.0 update comes, like how the Mario Party spirits appeared in the shop when 2.0.0 came out.

@Henmii
Yes, summon them. Spirits you don't have anymore will show up on the board again almost immediately, if you keep them to wait for duplicates it will take much longer. This also applies to summoned spirits/spirits from challenges if you want to access their battle (I don't remember which summons have battles, but there's probably a list somewhere).

Don't know about the Persona spirits since I have the DLC.

@Manah,

Thanks for the answer! For now I just keep visiting the Spirits board and the vault. When I notice it has gone completely dry I think I'll just do all the summons.

So, someone already knwo who will be the last 2 dlc characcters?

Last 2? 1 of 5 just came out.

Finally all spirits on LV99.

Anyone checked out any amiibo arenas yet? I’m in on that’s a 1v1 three stock. Four players ahead of my Lucas, and so far the reigning champ is a 50 Lucas with awesome aerial control.

This weekend something very strange occured with my joycons: During the mini-game from Classic mode, I suddenly couldn't jump. And when I played a very hard Spirit battle, suddenly my buttons stopped working. This never happened before to me. I play always in handheld mode. Recently I used alcohol to stop the joycon drifting, and it worked very well. But this may be a entirely other problem, like the joycons sometimes losing their connection (this was a common problem, right). Later I played a bunch of Yoshi, and yesterday the Attack on titan demo. No problems.

On a different note: Is it just me, or does nintendo silently ad new music in their updates? 2 times after a update I noticed new music. Also, they now explain how Smash works. As if we already didn't know that before...

And a thing about the difficulty of Classic mode: I just landed on 9.9 difficulty pretty easily (I think I started on 5 or 6). The result is just a harder version of the endboss. While in Smash 4 I could never reach that. The endboss became harder and harder with new tricks. And I believe there's even a very difficult fortress. Needless to say, I could never reach that.

@NintendobyNature @ReaderRagfish @Bimmy-lee
I forgot if I left it shuts down, my bad. I’m turning in. Bimmy should be back in a few minutes, so I guess just make an arena I had fun!!
Friggin Fishsticks, man 😂

@HobbitGamer @readerragfish@bimmy-Lee no problem. So does someone else need to make an arena in the meantime?

@ReaderRagfish it wouldn't let me back in the arena for some reason. I'm down to play tomorrow though.

@ReaderRagfish yea, give me 10 and I'll hop back on

@ReaderRagfish when

Let's play again over the wekeend
