It’s a huge undertaking to create a fighter, so I think we can’t make them in large quantities. I’d also like to feel refreshed when the project is over. However, since we have decided to tackle [DLC] once, I’d like to offer as much fun [content] as possible. It will take a while from now, but please look forward to it.

Well he said fun content which doesn't mean roy.

I love his Yoshi, I had no idea he played Greninja! Guy's great. I love that trick where he does the fakeout jab > footstool > downair, I gotta try that. I see a lot of B-reversing too, and that's probably something I should be doing more.

As for what you were saying (bolded), yeah, I saw a lot of this and punished it whenever I could. It worked a disproportionate amount of times, leading me to believe that most sonic players aren't very flexible outside of the one thing they know how to do, and I should take advantage of that when I can. As for the star clank I tried for that but he almost always recovered before I could do anything (grab, dash, etc.) Most of the matches I played today VS. Sonics I lost, but they were usually at least fairly close, generally with no more than a 50% deficit between us. I feel like I can go all the way, but I definitely need more practice.

I know he's kind of a joke by this point, but I really like how Greninja feels so far. 2/4 of his aerials have very low landing lag, and I think his neutral air might have none. They're all very good to throw out and fastfall, and chaining a spike from dair to a nair as they bounce up to you is very satisfying. Point-blank shadow sneak is fun as a pseudo-counter to kick people whose dash attacks don't travel too far in the back, and getting it on an unawares offstage person is usually a KO. His actual counter itself seems pretty good too, as long as you never angle it left or right.

Thanks for the advice and the videos, Maple Leaf.

Greninja got continuously nerfed since the game came out but he's still far from a joke.

Wii Fit Trainer and like one other character are worthy of that title.

I do appreciate that he gave an official statement, but I like many others do have concern for his health. Though I suppose it's possible that now that he's not rushed, it's easier for him to work.

So do amiibos not really do anything special besides being an NPC you can fight? That doesn't really seem cool enough to warrant buying one unless they're specifically made for spergs who like to collect them.

They give you items/custom equipment/custom moves/mii outfits if you use them in matches.

Supposedly putting a bunch of them in an 8-Player Smash is a good way to cheese item farming, albeit an IRL-expensive one. though I suppose if you collect Amiibos this isn't an issue

Actually yeah you guys are right, gently caress it. I already bought a Japanese Dedede just for opening so I'll release Meta Knight from its box and let the Kool Kirby Krew hang out on my entertainment center.

Sakurai will die finding a way to work Ridley into Smash. It will be a perfect implementation, and every time you select another character a prompt comes up saying "Are you sure you wouldn't rather play Ridley? Sakurai died to make him for you."
