Watch out!

Here comes the third tactic.

When Galaxy came out I went to a midnight release (yeah I know) and Charles Martinet was signing copies of the game. When I went into the store they asked me if I wanted to go in the line to get my copy signed or the line to just get the game, and I couldn't help but think "who is a big enough fan of Mari to go to a midnight release but doesn't have the extra two minutes to get the game signed by Mario?"

When I met Charles Martinet he was kinda just being polite and working through the line and I told him that he and Mel Blanc were the voices of my childhood and he suddenly sorta sprang to life and his eyes woke up and he had a huge smile and thanked me and it was really great that's my story thanks

Kirby's Crazy Apetite is not awesome though :(

I beat it by copying one of the Dededes. His inhale gives you 1.5x healing on each food item.

For everyone who missed them :siren: Gamecube adapters are being restocked by Gamestop on Dec. 15th. They can be pre-ordered online at retail price :siren:

I don't know if this means that Nintendo is actually sending out a second shipment or if Gamestop worked out some deal to get more from a different source, but get 'em before they sell out again.


EDIT: Sold out already

I think you'll find that they're all sold out, but GameStop does have a large shipment of used ones available at 25% over retail!

I tried preordering from both Europe and Japan, and both were cancelled, I got on this and hopefully 3rd time's a charm.

I picked him up recently and he's strange because all of his good moves are moves that aren't very good on other characters. His dash attack is mediocre, his up smash is mediocre, and his forward smash is only good at a range, it has too much ending lag up close. On the other hand:

His down tilt is great for approach
His down smash is great for kills
His up tilt is great for kills
Both his B and Side B are good for range
His throws are all excellent
His f-air is like Melee Marth's f-air
His b-air is solid too.


He's similar to Luigi, in that he only works well in certain ways, and you have to avoid using his bad moves (like down B).

I'm not great but here are some general pointers since I have played him a lot:

- the lemons are kinda weak and short ranged but since you can move while shooting them you can get people to shield and then grab them; I have never been great at reading a shield into a grab but I can do this constantly as MM
- when I grab I like to up throw into an up air since up-airs are huge now; there might be better combos out of down throw though
- side smash is really telegraphed but is great at punishing people who roll too much and also for edge guarding
- the slide (down tilt) is awesome since it moves a good distance, has decent knockback/up, comes out of nowhere and can duck most projectiles
- I usually use forward and back air when approaching because the both do solid damage and have reach
- I have no idea how to use his down-B effectively and his other B's (aside from recovery) seem to have too many drawbacks to use consistently, so I actually don't use them much

Some of this might be helpful and some of it might actually hinder you but they are my playstyle with MM

3. Laugh

There is no matchmaking to speak of and if you play for glory you will get matched constantly with people who play this game way too much. People like me. :getin:

I think the issue is that the kids that play this game stumble into FG once and then never touch it again after facing some pro-level captain falcon.

That being said, it turns out I'm loving rubbish at this game after the intervening years. Using a pro controller, does anyone change the controls at all? Any characters particularly newbie friendly?

This is the exact video I went looking for when I saw the request for Megaman help. The best part about this, is once they start trying to recover above you, you can take them out with the Air Shooter as well. No one expects the Air Shooter! MM2 weapon supremacy.

I reversed the shoulder buttons for grapple and guard to match the GC, but keep loving it up because I got used to the 3DS control scheme 😕

I agree with this, in that I spam both of their dash attacks. They have good priority and your opponent usually doesn't see it coming.

The one change I made to the controls is putting grab on Y, since I only jump with X anyway.

Well, I guess I also turned off tap-jump.

Megaman is an awesoe character for shutting people down. His lemons and slide can both kill a combo, and if you do get caught in one 8 times out of ten you can rush coil away before you're hosed, and no one ever knows what to do when you rush coil out f a combo. Add to that the fact that crash bombs mean you can force your opponents actions and you have a cool character.

You fool! Y is great because it's right next to B. You can jump while using specials for the first time ever, without having to make a freaky claw hand even!
Wait, we are talking about the pro controller, right?

Crazy Orders are your best bet. You'll get a fuckton of both custom moves and custom equipment once you get good.

Protip #1: The little symbols by the crazy tickets show what character(s) you'll get a thing for. (The SSB symbol denotes stuff for Miis.)
Protip #2: Don't do Metal Battles. Ever. They will take way too long.

Doing all-star on hard is really good as well. I tried clearing it with Mario (died about 5 times at various points :v: ) and had all his customs by the end, as well as some from other characters.

Whichever characters you're good with, really.

And god dammit GameStop, I was at work all day so I completely missed out on hopping on that preorder :argh: Hopefully the local Best Buy will get some in, when they got their first shipment some dude apparently bought like half of them, the rest sold out within a half hour.

I went to Best Buy to get mine and they can put you in the computer to just mail one to your house with free shipping. Mine came a week or so later.

Cool, I'll have to ask them about that when I pick up GotG tomorrow.

I was just at Walmart, they had one Wii Fit Trainer in stock. I went ahead and bought it, I have no idea if I want to collect amiibos or if I'm going to sell it in a week to double my money, but either way I at least have one of the rare ones now!
