reminder that there is absolutely no divide between "RL" and the internet

yes there is

obviously not

I'm going to drop Mewtwo. Way too floaty for me and I don't like that he's got two specials that are essentially stuns. Simon's been fun so I might give him a shot instead. That or Link.

well, the side+b reflects stuff, which is super nice

but yeah, i was never a fan of mewtwo's floatiness, weight, and moveset--he'd probably be my main back in melee if he played exactly how i thought he should, which i can't really say for many other characters

i play simon, so i could probably give you a couple pointers

- smashing the stick forward as you throw his boomerang will make it go super far
- the same technique can be done using forward/backward with the axe to throw it further or not as far
- holy water can be caught, so use it wisely
- down-angled forward airs are useful but scary, since you can accidentally do a down air instead, which will result in an SD if you're edgeguarding, so i often opt for down-angled back airs instead
- down-angled forward smashes are useful for sniping anyone hanging off ledges when their invincibility is gone, and because of the sheer distance that it reaches, less intelligent opponents won't see it coming (AIs probably will, though)
- up smash reaches far enough to strike those standing at the top platform of battlefield-type stages
- his tether recovery is weird because it doesn't use the standard Z-air command, and it doesn't work if you're too close to the ledge, but if the ledge is just above you, you can do an up air and it'll work
- the down tilt followup can be used to swiftly leap across the two side platforms of battlefield-type stages, which is an uncommon but decently effective escape technique that i don't see a lot of people use (simon doesn't have a lot of speedy movement options, so you take what you can get)

Last night I did one where you go up against a team of 3 high level Inklings who all spawn with a variety of blasters, have the trait that they do more damage with ranged projectiles, and have hostile trophy characters spawn in to support them every 15 seconds or so (it's the trophy where some guy sets up a mortar that fires like 10 homing rockets that track you). There's so many projectiles at all times that it's impossible to block or dodge them and they all do over 10% of damage for every hit. It's an impossible challenge no matter how good you are unless you cheese it or grind for days to get the best possible supports at level 100. I beat it by just camping out at the very bottom corner of the map in the hopes of hitting a good charged B attack and throwing one of them off the screen. Took me a good number of tries but managed to get lucky and clear it after a while.

sounds pretty dumb, but using a spirit that equips you with an item called a franklin badge (which reflects all projectiles shot at you as a passive buff), any spirit that grants temporary invincibility, etc. probably would've been a more rewarding and fun way to beat it rather than what you described

most of the tough spirit battles have a powerful yet easily exploitable gimmick, with one big gaping obvious weakness which may require a little creativity and lots of knowledge of how all the game's items work

it's understandable that you'd prefer the ones that simply require gameplay finesse though

are we just gonna ignore the big hairy scrotum that someone posted on the last page

Reddit is a great website

a great website for losers LOL

weak

getting to a point where my simon has a hard time losing to the most typical characters you see online

i just realized i haven't even played world of light or spirits or anything yet, but since i have all the characters now, i suppose i might as well try them out

lemme know if you decide to buy it verb, and if you do you need to download the unofficial patch

i'm definitely buying them, but downloading unofficial patches is a no go

i liked the NIN this year, though i don't know if it's list-worthy

seems to be under a lot of people's radars, too

yeah for sure

- Axiom Verge
- Lisa
- Fallout 1 and 2
- Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon

open to more suggestions

Can't say I'm a fan. These multi people channels / videos have never been my thing. They usually make for uninteresting videos imo.

you only like a grand total of three or four things

So, did this come out of nowhere, or was the writing on the wall?

I cannot perform up smash attacks for the life of me. Am I disabled?

it can be hard to get the angle on the control stick right. Do you use up + a or c-stick?

Up + A, I read in a guide that using the right stick for tilts was better

yeah, for sure

you can also increase the sensitivity of the stick, if that feels too weird for you, but that might create adverse effects elsewhere

seems a lot of the game's coolest characters have the most ass recovery this time around

though, i actually don't mind that as long as 3-stock or maybe even 4-stock becomes standard

I suck at recovery with every character so playing as Incineroar hurts

btw what's your friend code
