I don't remember the last time I played For Glory. Playing on only Final Destination type stages just wasn't as fun as playing on a varied assortment of stages/battlefield.
Good games. Your Mewtwo and Greninja were really nasty, and it doesn't help that I'm not all that used to playing against those characters, so not even switching to the characters I have more experience with managed to give me that much of an edge.

I would probably play it more if they did this.

Apologies for the one-day delay, but the SmashGAF Character Census complete results and miscellaneous data are coming shortly! Stay tuned!
EDIT: Oh fuck, I just realized I can't go back and copy-paste the HTML from my last results post because the thread is closed and I can't quote my post anymore. DAMMIT. This is going to take a lot longer than I thought...

Anyone want to play?
I just got the power saves for 3DS. Does it replace my save file or just add to it like an action replay? I want to get customs on my 3DS Smash.

Lets see how High WFT (pfft) and Palutena placed. Also curious about Sonic.

Sure. I wonder who I will play...
I wonder... Is he the leader of the bunch? Do we know him well? Is he finally back to bend some tail?

FYI, none of my deaths were entirely from the Cyclone Punch. When I died off the ceiling, it was because I was using Confusion to recover when you did it, and wind moves seem to have a multiplicative effect on moves you are using to influence your trajectory. Still funny stuff, but I don't want you to have an inaccurate image of what that move can do on its own.
Bait and punish is just a sad playstyle in general in this game, because plenty of characters have nothing to bait.
Lobbies are coming, though. That will help.
PM a mod. They might help you out.

GGs. I guess something was different from earlier.
How the fuck do I get out of PK Fire? I should not be losing to this Ness on FG.

I said wow
So Daddy Sakurai is breaking down the details of this next update right before it goes live, which leads me to believe there's a lot more included than just Lucas/Splatoon costumes/Miiverse Stage. My guess is we're finally getting Tournament mode, and the first "official" tournament goes live after the Smash Direct.

Making a room.
And I'll keep getting shafted due to my geographical location. While my connection is decent against some of you guys, the reason I've given up on ranbats and 2v2 tournaments is that, on average, I won't have a good enough connection against most opponents who aren't part of South America GAF.
Still, I love being able to play against yo guys, since it's quite a big difference from playing randoms in For Glory and hoping that they're both good and stay around for a couple of matches.

Obscenely strong, perfectly safe moves. Exactly what all of the middle tier characters need to deal with.

I'm kind of beat, so no more smashing for me today. Maybe tomorrow?
I do remember playing you once a long time ago and we had awful lag, but maybe things are better now that I got my internet speed upgraded (I used to have 30kbps up speeds, for crying out loud).
Is it that bad for you? You wired?
Yeah, I made sure to get an USB ethernet adapter while in Japan exactly for this kind of thing.
The lag mostly depends on who I play. Sometimes I get just a tiny bit of input lag, but at other times it becomes noticeable enough that it makes playing a chore (and fosters awful decisions such as roll spamming). I'd say my ultimate lag checker is trying out Ness' PK Thunder, because the way it steers when under bad enough lag makes it obvious that I shouldn't be playing.
2v2s are where I have to tread the most carefully, since the input lag from each other player adds up quickly. Still, I've been able to play against Snacks, Nami and others in 2v2s without too much lag as of late, so I guess there's still a chance.

WFT was not that low......huh. ive only played one other WFT here and I dont even remember who it was. Yay.
Edit: thanks for the fun Ash, pretty interesting listing.
Wow....I bought the lan adapter (got it today) in hopes of playing 2v2. Now you have me worried that I wasted money. D:

On second thought, I think I will just lay here for a bit. Head rush.
Greninja, obviously.
That being said, I'm wondering what new changes we'll get when the Lucas patch hits. I was thinking:
- Luigi: Some nerf... maybe increased knockback on fair or increased knockback scaling on dthrow (last patch all he got was a 1% damage reduction on sourspot fireballs, which was a bit of a joke)
- DK: Dongbending effectiveness reduced (no super armor, lowered wind strength or both)
- Sheik: Slightly increased landing lag on some aerials & up B
- Mewtwo: Grab, jab hitboxes enlarged. Added weak dmash hitbox that can hit slightly behind Mewtwo
- Ness: Upgraded travel distance, speed and/or recovery on Lucas-style PK fire. Rolling PK Thunder given infinite priority (because come on, it's crap right now)
- Pac-Man: Increased shield damage on some fruit (melons? cherries?), regular hydrant shoots three blasts of water before disappearing, crazy fruits key lingers in place a lot longer, crazy fruits bell stuns (maybe less than the regular one), dair hits pull opponents towards the next hit more (right now they nearly leave opponents in place), reduced grab cooldown OR increased grab range
- All over the board: Jab combos less likely to whiff (looking at you, Samus)
On second thought, I think I will just lay here for a bit. Head rush.
No problem man. Get better soon.
Anyone else up for some games?
Room's up!

Has everyone updated their WiiU firmware? Maybe thats what is the cause of Lag? Diffrent firmwares playing eachother.
Karsticles

Most likely, none of this.
I feel like Luigi is pretty fair. Not sure he needs a nerf.
Priority is based on % damage. More priority would entail a damage buff.
