Is rolling less punishable now? I fought one guy who was Samus and just continuously rolled. Tried grabbing and smashing for the most part and I couldn't hit him. Do certain characters have more of an i-frame with rolling or something or was I just being lovely?

Also Shulk is loving annoying. BACKSLASH BACKSLASH BACKSLASH BACKSLASH BACKSLASH BACKSLASH

No rolls are just really really good, and the window on hitting someone in one is somewhat tight.

Sakurai's vision is you shouldn't be hit if you don't want to be hit.

Rolling is a key part of playing Ike so I am glad of this.

From my experience, doing nothing but reflecting annoys people a lot more than constantly backslashing. Had a couple guys that both switched to Shulk and did nothing but reflect constantly for a few matches.

Hay hay hay!
I know I probably just played against a 12yo but quickly managed a snap of 'Sakurai.' Randomly got them in For Fun yesterday too for one round. Yesterday he was Pikachu and just avoided people. Today he was Link and just watched people.

Oh and I was Wario, spamming my bike, cackling and farting. Got 4 kills.

What's the simple solution to this, then? Team Attack on, so they footstool each other?

competitively its irrelevant because they dont use sudden death and team attack is on and stalling tactics are banned

in for glory, just catch them in the sudden death before they get too high

:drat: That's some top-shelf tomfoolery right there.

It wouldn't work in a tournament-sanctioned 2v2, though, because they turn team attack on and the bounce up counts as an attack. They'd kill each other at the top!

Team Attack so they hit each other, you only Footstool someone if you hit jump when you're on them, but the Up+B would cause them to hit each other, though I'm sure you could try and avoid each other since Pac-Man get's a good amount of sideways movement with his recovery.

So I've unlocked all of the challenge grid on the 3DS Smash except for "Clear Classic on 9.0 or Higher" Even managed to do through Cruel Smash challenges without using a hammer!

Any advice? 75 hours in and I've almost 100% completed this game.

I did with no equipment and ROB. If you're competent, the path to Master Core is just a slog, but Master Core is just memorization of tells. All of his moves can be dodged if you know the timing. Practice practice practice.


Also, I realized today that Villager/Shulk is a good character stable, since they cover each other's problem matchups pretty well... except Sheik. I'm not sure what to do against her.

mii brawler has a sweetspot with his piston punch up b. get it right and you can ko people straight up at like 0-10%. easiest way is to grab someone, down thrown, then up b. only the first hit will connect and thats the one that will gently caress people up.

Why are Mii Swordfighters considered trash anyway? I don't really care for the playstyle but nothing really stood out as completely unworkable to me.

Increased damage output and input. Basically, everyone's percentage is going up faster.

You deal and receive more damage than normal. You also do less knockback than usual but you take the same amount as normal.

Buster does actually reduce your knockback defense too, but only a little bit.

Less knockback on your attacks, higher damage given and I think taken and I think you take more knockback.
