So...what was the announcement from CEO? Was it just "hey, we're still developing more stuff"? Or was it more specific?

There wasn't one. Everyone misinterpreted a CEO tweet replying to someone asking if Smash would be there.

I voted for Dark Samus in the fighter ballot.

Also, Ryu's character design is cool and iconic, and if you think it is bad then you probably have bad taste.

I went through AwkwardZombie's entire archive of SSB4 comics, and there is not one single drawing of Mega Man.

This is unacceptable. :colbert:

gawrsh do you think any women will be there

I just got this game because I was super hype on Ryu and the DLC characters and now I like it but am terrible. I watch competitive Smash from time to time but I really dislike the GameCube controller/stick and have trouble moving precisely. Can I switch which side I'm facing in the air? How do I break throws? I like Ganon but he's kinda bad I guess. Pit's alright but I don't know how to kill with him.

How do I not be a terrible baby in this generally fun game?

You can't switch which way you're facing in the air after you've left the ground but this lets you actually make use of your back-air instead of just turning around and forward-airing. You can break grabs if you can mash the buttons fast enough but once you're thrown you want to use Directional Influence to worm your way out of follow-ups, or jump and airdodge to avoid the upair. Everything else is a matter of practice and patience

Characters can upsmash out of a dash and pit's upsmash is decent so try killing people by running up to them and punishing with an upsmash when they've made themselves vulnerable

Try using the gamepad or a pro controller if you don't like the GC one.

Some characters can reverse the direction they're facing mid-air just by pressing side+b in the direction they want to face. Obviously this is not optimal with Ganondorf or Pit, but if you're Mario, Donkey Kong, Mr. Game and Watch, etc, this can be useful.

Controllers are all habit, dont switch when you're already learning GC controller, you'll just have wasted time. Smash needs muscle memory.

its worth mentioning that marth, lucina, and roy all turn around in midair when they use their back air, but they're the only ones who do this. for the rest if you want to turn around you'll have to use a special move which only really works for some characters

oh also any character with multiple midair jumps will turn around if you jump backwards

you can turn around on neutral b moves by hitting the direction you want to face for a frame, let go, then press neutral b

Also works if you hit the direction really fast after hitting b.

Note that these two methods can have different effects on momentum. Lucina/Marth come to mind.

It takes the average person like one or two loving days to adjust. The Wii U pro controller is by far your best option because:
- the rumble on the gamepad is incredibly cheap if you want that option in a controller
- the new print gamecube controllers require a dumb to acquire accessory and have awful awful shoulder buttons that constantly jam
- every single old gamecube controller is on the used market or 200$ brand new and the used ones are still disgusting after several cleanings
- the triggers on the pro controller are a bit worse then the triggers on the gamepad
- every other pro controller button is the same as the gamepad
- the bigger buttons on the gamecube style controllers are easier to short hop and quickly hit but also break much easier then the pro controllers because their size means a push is a rattle
- the analog sticks on the pro controller and gamepad are much shorter then the gamecube main stick which makes it much easier to accutely control your character's horizontal movement and execute tilts and smashes

It took me weeks to get semi comfortably used to a GC controller again after using a 3DS and pro controllers for months and months, and this is after I spent years with GC controllers playing Melee ages ago. Maybe im special :mrgw:
