Incineroar isn't even that great now. Dmaxing stops flinching, and there's many ways to resist Intimidate now that weren't possible before. In addition, Defiant/Competitive punishes it very hard this time, now that the Defiant/Competitive users can utilize Dynamax.
The actual problem is Gmax Lapras.
Fortunately, this competition you don't have to deal with either.
A day or so ago, I fired up Splatoon, I got past the main menu and saw the Miiverse posts. I was like, "Are you all friggin' serious!? Really!? No way!"
Until now I am still in disbelief.
I'm so sorry for saying bad stuff about E3 2015...
You want a kid that's really good at fighting games? These exist and they beat up the best in the business. Look up "Noah" who plays Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 or "AK" who plays Tekken.
The internet is for porn.
Someday, someone is gonna create a risque-looking situation with this tool.
It may not matter that they added "black shadows" in select areas. Someone will do it.
Well it finally happened to me. 1. dislodged the rubber 2. continued playing on the rough plastic circle underneath (it felt great!) 3. guess what, eventually broke that in half
Think about this: how long does a player look at trophies in Smash Brothers? Does anyone buy Smash Brothers just to gawk at trophies? Would it kill the game experience if a trophy is removed?
@Ernest_The_Crab Kyogre is kind of dominant in Ubers in the current state next to Xerneas, it's time it took a back seat.
And besides, no one knows how 2 competing primal weather is gonna interact yet. Who knows if they'll cancel each other out, still putting Primal Groudon in a bad spot (coz 4x water).
@MetalK9 Destroying/crippling/waterskiing/whatevering the meta eh? Nothing new, that's what people said when Fairy type was announced. And when Megas were first announced. In addition, stuff like Kyogre, Groudon and Ray and other mythicals and events in the official tournaments anyway as well as rated battle spot. So they just said SCREW IT, let's just have fun with our legends that are meant to be overpowered anyway.
From CT's videos, Sheik seems dominant so far. But given this is pre-release I believe people will find Sheik counters in time.
Some people seem to equate higher percent to KO (mhmm I'd say it seems like 140% is the average rating when characters get KOd in Smash 4 3DS) equates to a "slower" paced game.
Recently CT seems to have gone with 2 stock fights... but I think that's a good move so it'll feel like the 3 stocks provided to Brawl or even Project M. That said, as more combos are discovered while the game develops, tournament organizes might bump it up to 3 stocks in the future.

Zooming out to the edge of the screen is important considering that's where you are KO-ing characters.
Why are those XB/PS fanboys blaming Nintendo and even Platinum? If there's anyone they should blame, it's SEGA. Sega won't pony up the cash to make it multiplat.
Anyway, now I can add this game to one of the many things XB/PS doesn't have. More pointing of water guns and fingers; and schadenfreude...
Oh, and before anyone says something like OOOH only Nintendo is locking out people by having a mid-gen hardware upgrade with all these GBC, DSi and N3DS examples: PS3 - Many games nowadays will overheat/hang and shut off the first PS3 models (the "fat" ones). Even the video game store I go to warn people about this all the time. X360 - I'll go look for the source, but current X360 units are more powerful than launch X360 units.
I may just be thinking too hard like it's a fantasy novel, but that post sounded like Sakurai is dying and he doesn't expect to live long, estimating his life is forfeit slightly after the release of the Wii U version. Meanwhile, he heroically posts pics...
"Attack!" is my favorite song from Castle Siege. I expect it to have the Fire Emblem Theme back as well. My only complaint with the stage is the transition, I would've preferred it to be only the first form all the time.
I don't know why you guys are saying this article is click bait.
I mean the title hints it isn't by nintendo, and the subtitle says by who. The subtitle can be read easily on the front page.
@Gorlokk
Sega let Streets of Rage Revival develop for a while before shutting it down. The theory is they waited for it to end up in a very playable state first, and only then C&D it to appease their stakeholders.
The League of Legends, Dota 2, Street Fighter 4 or Counter-Strike Global Offensive competitive community has their own haters even in those games' own casual communities. It's not just limited to Smash and "tiers are for queers".
One thing Smash (and Street Fighter and many fighting games) doesn't really have is the competitive players' disdain for casuals. Scrubs yes, but casuals not as much if at all.

Hi Sega.
Shenmue 3, please port it to the Wii U/NX.

Re: Mega Rayquaza Confirmed for Pokémon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire
It seems that Nintendo is aware of Smogon tiers. While unofficial house rules this will give the Uber tier some new toys to play with.

Re: Super Smash Bros. Slams the Competition Yet Again, 3DS Sales Drop
On the bright side, there are 3 Wii U games on the list and 1 PS4 one. And that's the piece of trash Destiny too.
Also, the 3DS sales drop is kind of expected. When does the N3DS/LL come out again?
