Castlevania has some of the best music in Smash.

Divine Bloodlines is so damn good.

Please tell me that I can have the Brinstar Theme from Melee play 24/7 throughout my time playing Ultimate

i suppose if you only ever play on metroid stages (which isn't entirely unreasonable because of omega and BF forms)

In terms of my five Squad Strike characters, I think I pretty much have Simon/Lucario/Sheik/Jigglypuff on lock, based on my interests and all the footage I've seen so far. For 3v3s this can be narrowed down to Simon/Lucario/Sheik. Still trying to decide on a fifth character, though, and I'm thinking it's gonna be either Link, Roy, Ganondorf, or Mii Swordfighter.

Link is looking fantastic with his new remote bombs. I was scared that he might be shitty on account of his lack of a tether, but recent footage has shown me that this isn't a crippling weakness. He has the best chance at the moment.

Roy looks great, perhaps best he's ever looked. But part of my thing is that I'd like all the characters in my squad to be part of franchises that I actually enjoy and care about, and the thing about Fire Emblem is that I loathe what it's become. The only reason I consider him at all is because he was the first character I ever mained in a Smash game, so there's an emotional connection there. I'll pocket him either way, but I'm still not sure if I want him to be in the five.

Ganondorf would be an easy choice if only his moveset hadn't changed at all. I guess it's neat that he actually uses his sword now, but at the same time, his old moveset, regardless of how unfaithful it was, was still really fucking fun. Now that it's different, I'm not sure if I'll necessarily find it as fun. Not to mention, ganoncide can be mashed out of now, so I won't be able to troll with him online as hard. He's looking like a pocket at the moment.

Mii Swordfighter is on option. You'll notice that the four characters I have on lock represent 64, Melee, Brawl, and Ultimate. Since I don't have a Smash 4 character represented, it would be neat to fill the gap with my favorite newcomer from that game. Problem is, I didn't really like any of Smash 4's newcomers (with a few exceptions, like Little Mac, who aren't really my style). Turns out, in the end, the newcomers I was most hyped for in that game were the goddamn Mii Fighters, simply because getting to self-insert in a game like this is a fun gimmick. Of the three classes, Swordfighter is the one I enjoy playing the most, which is unfortunate, considering he's one of the weakest characters. Unless he gets buffs, I'll probably dispense on having any Smash 4 representation whatsoever in my squad, unless Ryu turns out to be super fun to play with his new mechanics.

I haven't even begun to think about strategy, but I do like how all my chosen characters so far seem to fit a consistent mold. Best when played patient, lame, and defensive (esp. Simon and Puff), but whose offensive prowess cannot be counted out (esp. Sheik and Lucario). Pretty balanced. If I choose Link, this theme can be taken further, since he has mad projectile game while being able to hit pretty hard when he needs to.

whos the negan of smash

Due to some setbacks I probably won’t get it until Christmas, maybe after

let me guess you asked your mother and she was like "i can get it for you for christmas"

and you were like "no mom" but you couldn't think of anything else that you wanted

You see, unlike you I don’t rely on mommy and daddy to provide for me.

Money is tight right now and my car, phone,internet bill, and washer/dryer I bought my mom is due next week and that’s going to be around $1000 combined.

It's out.

At least Samus's d-throw combos into Z-air at low%

I'm already starting to hate these world of light spirits
