That's cool. Which one are you playing?

 

zero suit samus

edit: ssb for 3ds if thats what you mean

 

Both. I'm not sure if I'm surprised or not by ZSS, though.

I only play melee and the game that we aren't allowed to talk about for various reasons, not the least of which I don't buy new things.

 

this you have to explain

the only reason i'm playing anything current at all is because i got a 3ds for DDD. probably wouldn't have ever played smash otherwise

 

I dunno. Just finding it unexplainably hard to imagine and for that reason possibly surprising. But I'm not sure if I should be.

Makes the sense.

 

I strongly prefer Smash Wii U to Melee.

As long as items are turned off.

 

what character would you expect me to play? gundam and audrey arent in smash (but how ****ing cool would it be if they were) and zero suit samus seems to be the closest thing to a mix of the two
immensely curious what your perception of me is

 

Zero Suit Samus is one of my mains, and she's a trickier one to use. While she has great mobility, she doesn't have much power at all, and she's easily knocked out. You have to master her mobility, her stun, and her long-range grabs (which can also get you back to an edge.)

Samus (with the Power Suit) is much more balanced, trading ZSS's godly mobility and stun shot for better defense, much stronger attacks, and access to projectiles. I especially love her up-smash for knockouts.

 

So there's a long conversation you could have about the differences because the games are super different. Like I don't like the new ledge mechanics because you can't end stocks early without use of bad gimmicks (the thunder spike) or 64 combos (fair+fair+fair+fair+fair+bouncing fish). But on the other hand they made ledge invincibility a lot worse since it has a low base plus scaling and there are still no wavelands to get on stage faster. But on the other hand since you have to let them back to ledge anyways and recoveries have been buffed they can plank easier too. But other hand...etc. I could make that kinda infinite string of argument about everything I dislike or like about the differences. So I don't really care if you like one better than the other, I just play the one I play and that's that. I personally think all of the games are incredibly flawed, especially in the balance sense, but at least it ain't Rivals of Aether, amirite?

I dunno, I just felt like you'd pick from one of the more "American" franchises since a lot of people do. That makes sense though. It just so happens she's considered top tier at the moment.

 

Ike is the radiant main man for me

 

My Cloud/Lucina and Sheik would like to have a word with you all.

@Cat~ @. : tale : . @anyone else with smash 3DS if you're free later today we should play.

 

I'm totally down to Smash later

If we get enough takers we could do a mini tournament or something.

 

I might play some Smash today with y'all, sure. Gotta be somewhere around 4PM-6:30PM in Arizona time though.

 

Yeah that's about the time I was thinking. It's when I'm free.

 

Main reason I prefer Smash 4 to Melee is that I find so many characters' movesets in Melee to just...kind of suck, or are just too weak to compare to the (comparatively very few) tournament mains.

One of my mains is Ganondorf, and his neutral special in Melee is near impossible to hit a living player with due to the flinch, while I don't think I need to share how godlike Fox in Melee is due to sheer speed and power. It ain't fun playing against a skilled Fox just because of how much better he objectively is in Melee, and I consider myself pretty decent.

Project M is still probably what I'd call the most balanced and thus most fun for both normal plays and competitions. Shame it took a mod team to find that balance, and now development has stopped :\

 

So I was playing some of Smash 4's Solo mode at Intensity 9.

Holy fuck Solo at that level is not balanced in this game. Smash 4's broken items combined with questionably balanced AI in team fights (most of my allies always seemed to die in the first few seconds) and some objectively bad arenas...it feels like you have to do the cheapest possible tactics to survive 9.

 

I can be there in like half an hour tops. Don't know who else wants to do it, but yeah...

 

I'll probably be up to play by then. Waiting on a pizza.
