I've been using the langauge swap trick to get my roster filled up fast. Would recommend unless you care about other rewards than character unlocks

I played Smash with my buddy. I'm fairly certain I played this game many years ago on the Wii U but it was fun-ish back then and is fun-ish now. I don't understand the hype. Now Let's Go Eevee is the real winner of the "game I think I played before but really fucks my poo poo up now" award.

I play Smash Ultimate entirely on the Switch Pro controller. It's not bad for it at all. Personally though I did a bit of rebinding, swapped shield and grab (Shield is now R1 instead of R2 - I don't know the nintendo names)8-bit Miniboss posted:Is that Joycon a launch one? It might be having reception issues that required a fix from Nintendo. I have one Joycon that randomly drops out when I play wireless. The more annoying part is it drops inputs, not the connection. So for stuff like smash you'll shield and it just won't and you die. I played so much smash the other day my controller died and had to charge and I tried 2 wireless Joycons and oof Handheld works fine, but I play smash terribly on handheld. Something about that game means the tiniest difference in controller shape destroys all of my muscle memory and I become very bad Smash is unironically my game of the year already

Your Computer posted:From what I've heard it's peer to peer which means "it depends on the connection of your opponent" For 1v1s, a server would actually make things worse since there's a middle man it has to go through in that case. For more than that, peer to peer wouldn't exactly be ideal, admittedly. One person can end up dragging down the whole room. Though people having terrible internet can't completely be fixed.

People say the net code is terrible and it might be but I have very low expectations for online in smash The one good thing I’ve noticed so far is it seems to be locally matching me up with people because I see a lot of Arabic names despite my region being set to the US for the eshop. Lots of games will put you against us players if you do that

Dr. Fetus posted:For 1v1s, a server would actually make things worse since there's a middle man it has to go through in that case. I guess that makes sense. I know very little about this stuff, I guess stuff like netcode and sanity checking is more important then? I just know I've had much better experiences with stuff that has dedicated servers, like I can play Overwatch perfectly but Dark Souls PvP is always a mess when I forget to play in offline mode. I assume that's because while Overwatch has dedicated servers nearby (or at least in a nearby country), Dark Souls will happily connect me peer to peer with some bloke on 56k on the other side of the world

Mainly the auto battle option, the enemy aggression toggle, and the wide variety of difficulty settings is part of the expansion pass. However some of the QOL options like the map changes and an easy mode and NG+ are part of the base game

I just looked up a couple of these Super Smash 64 came out in 1999 -Pokemon Red and Blue came out in 1996 in Japan, 98 in the US, most people had only known about it for a year -Earthbound came out in 1994 - 5 years -F Zero came out in 1990 - 9 years -Zelda: 1986, 13 years -Super Mario Bros 1: 1985, 14 years You know what came out 14 years ago? Metroid Prime 2. Dark Samus in Ultimate is as old of a reference as Mario was in Smash 64.

I finally gave in to thread pressure and got Celeste. It’s insanely charming. Even has an assist mode for scrubs like me if I get to a segment I absolutely cannot pass. Even though my death count is skyrocketing, I am having a blast so I haven’t used it yet.

There's an in-game tips section you can read up on that teaches you a lot of stuff, and then you can take anyone you like into training mode.

There is a "How to Play" video in the Movie section of the Vault. It's basically the same that it's been since Smash Bros. 64. - You have your basic attacks on the A button and your special attacks on the B button - Most characters have similar basic attacks (hence the name) while their special attacks differ wildly except for Up+B which is used as a way to get back on stage if you get knocked off - The most important concept in Smash is tapping (smashing) the stick. It's how you run and it's how you do smash attacks (tap stick in direction + A) - With your basic attacks it's as simple as direction + A button and you'll attack in that direction whether you're in the air or on the ground - Use the training mode to find out what the different special attacks for your character do (Up+B, Side+B, Down+B) - Actually just use the training mode in general to get used to how your character moves and attacks -  Go into the controller settings and turn off stick jumping, jump by using X/Y https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=10mA9NR7yLA

teacup posted:I’ve been playing smash and I’ve realised with so many fire emblem fighters I’ve never really gotten into the series. Is the switch one any good? Does it have the smash characters in it? I like strategy games and played a lot of FFTA, advance wars and disgaea. I’m mainly scared of it being dumb anime titty poo poo which sometimes disgaea got close to but not bad enough I guess. I'm sorry you're scared of Japanese animation but the mainline games are some of the best strategy games out there, better than Disgaea in my opinion.

Just beat my husband's high score in Smash Classic using Zero Suit Samus... intensity 8.4... when he wakes up he's got a rude surprise waitin for him.  (She's actually really fun to play as if you tend to fall off maps a lot -- she has a grappling move and a lot of aerial movement, so it's easy to recover if you goof up and find yourself plummeting to your doom.) a7m2 posted:This is my first Smash game because I'm not really into fighting games. How the hell do I play? There's no tutorial or anything. I don't know what I'm even doing during the fights or how to pull off moves I am a casual player and others are going to have better advice, but here is what I have done so far. Look at link below and memorize the controls; I don't remember seeing this screen when I booted up the game, but it helped me figure out what I was doing: https://www.shacknews.com/article/108875/controls-and-configurations-in-super-smash-bros-ultimate Most of your attacks are going to be some combination of the left analog stick and A (normal attack) or B (special attack). Experiment with it and get comfortable with how your character moves and what their range is. You don't need to worry about pressing A + A + A + B + B or any combos like that to my knowledge, just the analog in one direction plus A or B. Holding A or B will do a charged up attack. Pressing B once when your meter is full (look at the rainbow bar under your portrait) WITHOUT TOUCHING THE ANALOG will trigger your ultimate. The rest is pretty self explanatory, I think, once you see the controls. I really recommend playing through Classic mode first, it's under the blue menu in the upper right. You can set the difficulty via the intensity bar and play at your own pace vs. the computer. If you lose a fight, the intensity will go down and it will get easier (vice versa if you win), so it adjusts on the fly to how you're playing.
