First DLC pack has Mewtwo, Tanooki Mario, and Cat Peach.

Months of posts saying "gently caress Tanooki Mario" only for the DLC to drop and everyone realizes he is fantastic for some reason or another.

All hate is then pointed to Cat Peach who is somehow less than trash.

So I have this weird thing where menu music doubles itself for some reason, anyone else have the problem?

I'll play a stage or anything that with no problems but when I get put back at the character select the first couple notes of the menu song plays, pauses for a second, then plays like nothing happened.

So is the AI that 'learns' from the Amiibos more of a challenge than the level 9 CPU? I really hate playing online due to the random lag and I don't have the time or opportunity to play with friends since we all have kids/jobs/responsibilities but the refined CPU is tempting me to pick the game up.

They're far, far more dangerous then any level 9 could ever dream of being if you train them up. I can barely get a win on mine and they keep getting better :negative:.

Also there's something funny about unlocking the King K Rool trophy and you can't put it in a trophy box. It's exiled completely.

I think the problem you're having with Amiibo's is you have to use the same character that you're trying to teach them about otherwise they act like loving idiots. I tried training my villager using dedede and now he's trying to forward smash all the time. If yours isn't doing sick combos it's because you didn't do any.

Seriously mine can do a Mario down throw with all the up tilts and air up a's to me and will fling itself off a cliff to meteor smash me at all times.

:lol: if you think 9 AI was gimped to.

Edit: Also they don't have the little level up jingle anymore but they do keep learning past level 50.

Wait, so do the amiibos NOT play any better than lvl9 CPUs? Do they just get buffed stats or what?

They record what you do basically and try to mimic your playstyle. As mentioned if you use forward smash a lot they'll start doing a LOT of forward smashes. If you try to meteor spike them they'll try to do that as well. In the later levels and beyond they're basically doing 1:1 fights with you if you trained them right and they continue trying to learn strats as time goes on.

People have already found that you can train them to CD farm by showing them how to throw master balls and run for CD's and Trophies. They're a lot more flexible then set lvl 9's but if you teach them poorly they'll probably get their faces shoved in by harder CPU's.

So here's a strange bug that'll never really effect anyone. If you're fighting as Palutena in the Garden of Hope stage jump onto the breakable pot and when someone jumps up to get you forward/back throw them. This for whatever reason shrinks your enemy as if they got hit with a poison mushroom and you can blow them up.

That Garden of Hope thing seems to be a more general glitch, as it can occur to Pac Man's hydrant as well.

Theory I had on it is things in the pot shrink so they don't clip (I'm pretty sure that's what happens) but Palutena's throw for some reason registers them as "inside" and shrinks them down.

Also saw this floating around


Turns out Megaman has two stages :haw:

Bowser Jr question. When I'm in the HEAT OF BATTLE and I eject from my clown copter, before I fall to my death I've been able to hit one of the shoulder buttons and respawn my copter allowing me another chance at a jump. But I've been trying to recreate it just like in practice and can't get it to work. Are there certain conditions to make it work? Does the clown car have to be exploded a certain amount of time or does the other person have to knock me around some first before it will reset?

It respawns on a timer if you don't touch the ground. You're just a flailing baby until then though.

I had my amiibos fighting to the death for fun and profit. Luigi broke a smash ball and sucked up like 5 dudes and shot them all out... then kept on shooting. He just got locked into the firing animation and smoke was the only thing being launched. The other amiibo fighters (and the respawn ones) continued to fight while he was doing this, and eventually the entire system crashed.

Thanks Luigi.

Hahahah, I'm on the exact same situation. I think I might use my first Golden Hammer on this, because holy poo poo this is completely impossible. Even if I get the Metroid, it's far more likely the AI will get to it first considering I'm at the mercy of a die roll. Screw that poo poo.


This is Good Advice, but let me add one more thing to it: remember to use your last match before the Hands to take damage if you have used the invincibility to get through easily. Otherwise, you'll enter with way too low HP and that's extremely dangerous. No point in getting all of those CDs if you lose them in the end!

Admittedly, you should be getting so much stuff that you'll only lose some of the CDs, but still, something to keep in mind. Also, Mario with Fast Fireball works really well for this, at least for me.

Don't you have more HP the less % you have though?

Also how do people grab with captain falcon. I like playing him but every time I grab Falcon's oiled up shoes make him slip halfway across the map and it never, never connects. I get more grabs with goddamn pac-man.

Do what KingofSprings said. I suggest playing around in practice mode and getting a feel for his spacing. Get a feel for where he'll end up during the grab animation.

Also, keep in mind that Falcon's standing grab is actually not that great. You want to make sure the other person is fairly close, if you're not dashing.

TheKingofSprings posted:

Start your grabs earlier with him, then be happy about your friend Falcon having The Best Grabs in the Game

Thanks for that, was getting really flustered because zipping around as him is super fun but I always leave myself SUPER open after a flubbed grab and getting frustrated by it.

CD's and stuff picked up by amiibo's don't actually give you anything btw. I've had mine grab CD's and it doesn't count for anything. Same with trophies as I saw one pick up a trophy I certainly didn't have and when I scanned it for prizes nothing new was there and my gallery had the most recent being one I bought from the shop.

What you want to do is set it to a timer match with 4 players. 3 amiibos are suggested. Put only master balls on and go to a final destination stage. When you hear "mew" pick up the controller and go and grab it yourself because amiibo's will only pick that stuff up on accident.

I dunno about that specific combo but Kirby's dair is pretty ridiculous because I think it has no landing lag.

Basically he would up tilt and shorthop into it, hitstun would keep me in the "getting hit" animation. Due to no landing lag he'd get to uptilt again and just loop it until upsmash. It was stupid effective.
