I will reiterate the stupid thing I said like 50 pages ago, which is that I wish Robin was a fearsome tyrant that was the ranged equivalent of Grandpa Ganon. She's cool and fine with some cool spells as-is, but man I just wish she was more mighty.

e: Also who the gently caress thinks Male Robin is cool in any way?

One of the easiest and quickest ways of getting custom moves for me is to go into Target Blast and pause as soon as it starts. If you see a target with a wrench symbol on it, then good. If you don't just press LR/LZ/Whatever button on your control is mapped to retry, and it'll reload everything so you can keep reloading until you get a layout with a wrench.
Yeah, this was the main method I used, if you mess around with an initial character (test custom moves, train, go online, etc.) and then go to target blast with whatever character, the custom moves (wrenches) that you can acquire tend to focus on that initial character. It was also helpful to learn sequences of moves for a character (for me, it was Pikachu) to damage and launch the bomb to the precise location of the wrench, no matter where it was. Still, I want to kill the person who thought it was a good idea to win customs you've already earned, can't even loving sell them for coins.

Have you seen a good Robin play? Good Robins can be downright terrifying at times. Also I think both Robins are rad as hell. :colbert:

I find Robin to be a perfectly fine character, despite his/her speed and poor grabs. What I would have desired more is more memorable stages based on specific climactic moments from the series, rather than generic arenas. IE: The underwater temple from Fire Emblem 7 where you fought Sonia or on the back of Grima.

Good Robins are really cool but that's not really what I meant. The thing I like about Ganon is that he doesn't gently caress around with cool tricks or fast moves or pokes or anything like that, he just punches you and you die, and to me I don't find Robin to be especially distinct from Ness or Samus aside from the limited weapon gimmick. In my head, Robin wouldn't gently caress around with little Elwind pokes or zaps or jabbing people with a sword, she just electrocutes you and you die.

I think one thing that made melee matches cool is that low % kills were common due to combos and relatively poor recovery options.

Seems like everybody except little Mac and mii swordsman can get back to the stage from practically anywhere.

Esam's using some pikachu b-air understage shenanigans and there was that crazy ZSS 23% combo but by far and large people are dying at high %'s, unless you're being u-aired by diddy which is basically half the reason why diddy is so good.

she's good but she requires more work than other characters for not really any extra gain. she also has really bad matchups against anyone who can move fast because she's just too slow to keep up. she feels almost completely helpless fighting a good marth or even lucina, and while i haven't fought many good sheiks or sonics i have a hard time imagining those could go any better, especially since sheik can throw out a needle to disrupt charging thunder. i just want her to be really good in general instead of only in specific matchups because i think she has one of the most fun movesets in the game. making her as slow as she is doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

When on the Wii U menu and the menu icons are on the TV, how can you select things using the Gamepad?

I know you can press X to switch between displays and then the D-pad and touch screen work, but I mean doing it screen so people can see.

The Gamepad can only interact with the Wii U menu while the menu is on the gamepad. Also this is the Smash thread, not the Wii U thread.

Yeah, Robin's a pretty advanced character and takes a lot of work, but in the right hands, can be the destroyer of anything but rushdown.

I personally enjoy Target Blast anyway so it was much quicker than most of the other methods, but if you want something different then Crazy Orders is another good way of getting customs. Just pick fights that have the symbol of the character you want the moves for.

Pro strategy right here. Took me just under an hour to get all of Falco's custom moves with this strategy (target blast) :swoon:

I keep hearing that sonic is really good so I tried him out and found out how to do 40% damage in a single string and that's disgusting. Dunno how good he is at actually killing but still that's super gross.

Considering he can kill with his backthrow and his f and up smashes are both great he's pretty drat good at actually killing

He's not great at killing, though backthrow, up-airs off the top, and perfect-pivoted F-smashes can pack a whallop. What Sonic excels in is his mobility, his ability to techchase, and his respectable priority (n-air beats almost everything).

basically, Sonic is Pretty drat Good, as he should be.

If customs are allowed he can do more then 40 what the hell.

Just side b into someone jump and fair up air, if you have customs the headbutt one and up air again. People can DI out of that right because if not why isn't that getting abused

I could give you the Mewtwo code for the Wii U version when it comes out, since, again, I don't have a Wii U.

I feel like this game has an overabundance of characters with Counter moves. Basically every character who has a sword has a counter, plus obviously others that don't have a sword that does. then Palutenia is basically a character entirely based around Counters, with 2/4 moves being counters.

Like I get that counters are cool but I feel like there's just too many.

I agree that to many have counters really. Really uncreative in a lot of cases, I keep forgetting Ike has one and get nailed by it because I don't expect a gorilla to have such a move.
