This irritates me the most. I get wanting a better challenge or something, but fuck you! I wanted to learn, goddammit.

Ditto this! All I really care about is how well I do in real life so someone who beats me really bad over and over in For Glory is an opportunity for me to get better. Sometimes I'm trying to see who I like and I just know the dude on the other end is thinking I'm not worth their time.

On the flip side if I completely over shadow my opponent I will stay at least 4 matches is they can catch on. If they have the guts to keep getting pummeled trying to figure out why then I know they have a good spirit.

 

[megarockexe]

I am going to try this right now and report firsthand why I wouldn't want to play again against someone who beat me, records aside.

 

[Karsticles]

I will always stay unless a player is disrespectful or the connection is bad. Win or lose.

 

[megarockexe]

Well the other player quit on me, so I'm guessing it's like a "I've had enough of this guy already."

And I just faced a Kirby that only used Up and Down B and otherwise the equivalent of the CPU on walk in Training. And now a cheeser Mac I had to DC on. See, define what a shitty opponent is.

Pretty much.
I also can get annoyed when people win and immediately switch characters. I know it's not a tourney or anything so they don't have to lock their character, but c'mon if I lost I'm trying to learn, haha.

I hate that. I feel like it stems from a place of "hurr got 2 protect my sacred win record in 4 glory," which is disappointing. Even if I lose, I can still learn! :/

explain what you mean by this

come on, you should know Smash is the only fighting game where you're NOT locked to your character after a win

doesn't that only apply due to stage counterpicking? lol I haven't watched any FD only tourneys in awhile.

What makes it even more silly is that it's all going to become moot in 30 days when Smash Wii U comes out and resets those stats. I'm basically just playing Smash 3DS to learn the matchups so I'll have an easier time in Wii U.

 

[Kyzon]

I'll join your room so you can set whatever rules you want.

GGs :3

I gotta get some sleep now haha

Thanks for the matches man, I'm still getting used to no tap jump heh. Hope the lag is a bit better for the next time. =)

 

[ChrisD]

So... Can Australian/Japanese systems use the C-stick, and can they be pitted against anyone else? I could have sworn I saw an opponent Lucina using retreating FAirs. But apparently my Replays are capped, so I couldn't check that way.

 

[Kyzon]

HOpefully the lag is better. My neighbors give me tons of interference.

Fun matches.

I JUST HAD MY FUNNIEST MATCH EVER AND MY SD CARD IS OUT OF SPACE
I JUST CLEARED IT

What is adequate space?!

gotta go to sleep now for work fun as hell gotta do that again later.

 

[johnsavage]

Does anyone else get infuriated when someone taunts while you're flying out of the stage. I usually try to just do nothing while waiting for the guy to get back on the stage but if they taunt while I'm flying out I just rage (it probably doesn't help me play any better).

I guess to be on topic. I guess everyone will hate me, but I keep cycling through characters whether I win or lose. My line of thinking is: I don't want to be that guy that can only win playing one character.

Yeah, I'm so excited for a controller that will allow me to properly space aerials with my goddess. <3

Now cast the Twilight spell.

It works as a reflector.

I get a little irritated, but I also do it all the time

 

[Snacks the sober sea lion]

I don't understand the recovery times in this game. So many moves seem unpunishable when they should be, yet the mildest of moves (Greninja's side tilt) has more recovery than some characters' smashes. Little Mac in particular is an example of bad fighting game character philosophy, i.e. "really fucking good at one thing, but balanced by being absolutely fucking terrible at another thing." I didn't mind Little Mac before, but I'm getting increasingly disgusted by a fast character with almost no disadvantage on block/ dodge, super-armor for consequence-free Smashes, and can do 30 damage off of A mashing, "but it's okay because he has zero recovery ability." Everybody I want to play with good range (Samus, Greninja, Bowser) has long as hell recovery times, and the other ones I want to play have garbage range (Sheik, Toon Link). I've never had this much trouble picking a suitable character in a Smash Bros. game.

What did they do to sidestepping and dodging anyway? It feels like they dramatically speed them up yet substantially increased how easy it is to punish them, with moves that basically negate roll/ sidestep entirely (Diddy's monkey thing and Brawler's Onslaught).

 

[Forkball]

Just had my first For Glory match in weeks. I CLOWNED ON THIS GAME AND WATCH. Also it reminded me of how boring Final Destination is.

I only do that when playing Wario. He has the best taunts.

How does a player disrespect you?

Honestly, I like being a little silly/cheeky after a KO, and I like it when my opponent does the same. Been that way for me since Smash 64; smack talk and taunting kept things playful between me and my friends, because Smash can get fucking intense. Hell, when I play online with my friends now I change my taunts to Rekt, T-Rekt, HELLA Rekt and OMEGA REKT (and I have to remember to switch them back to polite stuff when I play SmashGAF, lol).

When it happens against randoms it has a similar effect of reminding me I'm playing against another person, makes my opponent seem alive. It's a strange, but good feeling, where I can recognize that the person I'm playing with is having fun. I guess it's the nostalgia of playing Smash with others, I dunno. I feel like I'm rambling, but basically, I don't mind at all. Salt happens, but definitely not because of taunts.

WAHAHA *close jaw*

Good morning, SmashGAF! Does anybody want to play? Prefer customs on to train for the next round of the tournament.

I'll help you train if you're still up for it?

 

[Jawmuncher]

I played matches with Dragonlife yesterday.
I'm so bad. Playing with friends has gotten me too comfortable.
Only character I had worth a damn was Dark Pit.

Room's up!

What stages should I pick? I don't know which one are legal for the tornament.

 

[k_hop]

lmao hold on, give me a minute

 

[Ricky 7]

You still there man? Are we going to carry on?

 

[k_hop]

You still there man? Are we going to carry on?

Yeah I was just about to edit my post. I'm ready, just needed a quick pick-me-up to wake up.

edit: Room's up again

edit 2: btw, legal stages are Yoshi's, Prism, Battlefield, FD and all Omegas except Warioware

 

[Exotoro]

Starting to understand Wii fit trainer. She's surprisingly pretty good as far as I can tell!

 

[Tom_Cody]

I am so hopelessly terrible. My win rate on For Glory 1 on 1 is like 20%. And I frequently can't even get a single stock off of good opponents!

I have tried practicing against computer opponents, but it isn't difficult at all for me to sweep level 9 random matches. I'm not sure where to go from here.

Does anyone have any specific practice method tips? Or do I just need to sink more hours into the game in general?

anyone up versus my mega man ike or link ?

Dragon Rush is stupid good tho

Lmfaoo I taunt when they're off the stage all the time. I love doing it even more when I'm duck hunt and I do the laughing taunt. I wish we still had Sonic's "you're too slow" taunt. I miss it


I love taunts in smash bros...

 

[k_hop]

It's pretty damn good against Link considering how big a part of his game ground zoning is

 

[Ricky 7]

Lol XD, this is the first time I'm using it in battle, didn't realise how good it was.

 

[Spinosaurus]

I guess it's match up dependent. I don't think it's worth losing Flamethrower's utility, though.

Dragon Rush + Rising Cyclone is sooo good.

 

[Mumei]

That dodge cancel tech is so good for Bowser. It completely destroys characters I used to struggle with, like Ness.

92% win rate for my last 50 For Glory fights!

Dodge cancel tech?

 

[k_hop]

ggs, figured I'd call it when we were tied for KOs

 

[Hero Prinny]

Dodge cancel tech?

Some shit where if you do an arial right before you land you cancel your landing lag. I've been able to pull it off a few times in practice but never tried it in an actual match

 

[Ricky 7]

ggs, figured I'd call it when we were tied for KOs

GGs man, I've never used customs in a proper battle before so it was pretty cool. Link's arrows are awesome, they should just be called better arrows. xP

Haha yeah, it's like when they were thinking of custom moves they were like "oh hey I know, let's give him a bow move that actually kills"

Bow isn't that bad of a move by default (still probably his weakest special tho) but I always found it ridiculous that the move NEVER kills outside of catching them already off-screen, even at 150+%
