Jesus how do you even touch an enemy in cruel melee. Within seconds of spawning I get ruined. I guess it's easier to play the matches to unlock Duck Hunt.

Bowser Jr. is my favorite so far. I love his quick moves.

Kirby. Suck them in, if they let you, walk off the ledge and spit one out under the ledge as they don't have any recovery. Then immediately get stomped. But it may really be easier to just grind the matches.

At least she has a counter you can abuse.

Luigi doesn't have that luxury and one of the challenges is surviving a minute with him.

I don't like the event mode. They range from boring to frustrating and I usually have to go in and lose multiple times before I finish it because I never play as the characters it wants me to play as.

That's kind of like it's always been: Special battles where you get an objective and/or limitations posed on your character and go to town.

The best thing about them are when they get creative with the objectives! Or if the event is an All-Star Battle since those pit you up against a small group of the playable fighters themed after a specific thing.

I wish there was a quick reset button from the pause screen for event mode, like in multi-man smash.

Patch it in!

Also, I'd prefer it if the game remembers my name. There's no reason why it should keep forgetting in the same sitting.

Well, that aligns with the vibes I was getting. Which was, like, "normal" kinda vibes.
NNIDS: lawfulwaffle

I'm adding everyone on the list and who recently shared their IDs. I'm loving the poo poo out of this game, and I've unlocked the characters and stages (BTW, you can choose which stages are picked from when choosing Random once you get all the stages). I'm having a lot of trouble with Crazy Orders, though. I'm trying to knock it out with the Villager, but I either don't have enough HP to kill Crazy hand and his helper(s), or I take on ticket too many and bite the dust. Any advice?

I'm in love with the new characters, especially Shulk and Robin.

Don't forget to turn on customization. Extra defense goes a long way.

Man I just cannot get over how loving GORGEOUS this game looks in HD!! :allears:


I still miss the Scrap Brain music and Sonic Boom (the Sonic CD song) though. :(

Also I wish there was a Hydrocity level for Sonic. Hydrocity was a really great stage, and it had some kickass theme music too.

Speaking of it seems weird how underutilized the sonic franchise is in this game. Since Sonic was already in the last game I thought they'd at least put in another character like Tails- hell Eggman would be pretty easy as just a slower Bowser Jr. And just one stage?

They're exactly the same as far as I can tell, but the smaller size and form factor of the pro controller make them much easier to flick around.

They're not going to represent a franchise they don't even own more than a first party product. Why would they put more Sonic stuff in than Metroid stuff?

Sonic is a third party. That third parties get only a single character is fair, this is first and foremost a game about Nintendo characters and history. And Sonic got different stages in both versions (as did PAC-MAN), Mega Man didn't get that luck and Wily Castle is a lot worse than Windy Hill Zone (if only that drat Yellow Devil wasn't there...)

If not for the Yellow Devil, I would love Wily Castle. Without the Yellow Devil it's basically Final Destination with platforms that swoop in from time to time to spice it up.
