Super Smash Bros. for 3DS & Wii U DLC |OT| Mewtwo Strikes Back

Mewtwo is ok.

All this confirmed is that I'm certainly going to be holding back from buying any smash dlc for the price they're offering though. Unless something big happens (ridley joke here) I don't see me getting enough use out of a single smash character to justify £4.49.

The excellent DLC pricing on MK8/HW/NSLU has spoiled me.
 
1v1s anyone? For Glory people suuuuck, nobody even DIs my dthrow uair when I use Diddy so it feels like he's not nerfed outside of killing later lmao
 
Anyone else still waiting for the Mewtwo email? I got locked out of my email that I originally used so I had to change it to a new email address, but I forgot to do it until 4 days before the deadline, so I am afraid it went to my other email address anyways despite it being my new email address in my club Nintendo profile. I'd hate to have to wait and buy him.....
 
Not gonna lie, the character select screen jumble actually bothers me a lot lol. I wanted the clones with the rest of their series all along, now we have Mewtwo down with the 3rd party guys AND Link-Zelda Kirby-DDD separated by a row. OH THE HUMANITY!!!!


Mewtwo seems fun. I didn't use him in Melee at all (and I more or less stopped playing Melee when Brawl came out...filthy casual) but I'm definitely enjoying giving him a spin right now.
 
I think the Character Select screen should have just put the characters next to their respective franchises. In the case of Mewtwo and Lucas instead of shoving them to that bottom row just put Mewtwo next to the other Pokemon and Lucas next to Ness and just have a little thing that says "new" on it so they stand out until you hover over or select them.

I guess that would look tacky but I think it would be better than this. Just a suggestion.
 
Alright, I signed up for the Ranbats. How would I know when I play my matches?

The ranbats start on Sunday. You'll have 1 week to play any of your opponents in your bracket (and you can play more than one/even finish your bracket in your first week if you want), contacting your opponent(s) in the thread or directly PMing them.
 
Anyone up for some games? Wanna see if the fatties besides Boozer got some noticeable love, and maybe try out the new fatty friend Mewtwo. NNID is MasterCheeze.
Mewtwo isn't a fatty. He's light.

Maybe I can beat Classic Mode on lv9 without loosing any stock with Bowser now.
The ping-pong in the final area will still kill me. :-(

Sakurai obviously wants to support Karst's ranbats obviously so he buffed Bowser.. Samus confirmed to be the deejay of Sm4sh..
Samus is solid. I don't think she's nearly as bad as people think. She's like Charizard like that.

Bowser is already good. Then gets more buffs. My goodness. They should've given these improvements to Ganondorf.
Bowser is, by most lists, considered a C Tier character. He isn't good. Ganondorf also needs help, but don't disparage one character for getting help just because another didn't. Be glad when any character becomes more viable.

Ganondorf did get some buffs:
Ganondorf
neutral jab has been buffed from 6% -> 7% CONFIRMED
neutral jab sweetspot buffed from 8% -> 10% CONFIRMED
Frame-cancelled aerials still in CONFIRMED
Warlock Punch 30%, Reverse Warlock Punch 37% CONFIRMED
Side B on ground 12%, Side B in air 15% CONFIRMED
Down B on ground 10% CONFIRMED
Dash 14% CONFIRMED
Utilt 28%, Ftilt 13% CONFIRMED
Dair 17% at body, Dait 19% at feet CONFIRMED
Uair 6% on back swing, Uair 13% in the front swing CONFIRMED

Yeah I guess so but I was secretly hoping he'd get even better since 99% of people thought he was bad so Sakurai might have taken that into consideration and buffed him.
I've never thought Charizard was bad. It's just the Flare Blitz spammers that make people think so. :-P

Can't believe Falcon didn't even get a slight nerf. They probably changed something.
Falcon is very fair. I can't think of anything they should change on him in the current meta.

Alright, I signed up for the Ranbats. How would I know when I play my matches?
Every week, you choose 1 opponent in your bracket to play. You can choose anyone. At the end of the season, you must have played everyone. I will put brackets out on Friday, most likely.
 
Good to see Greninja got some buffs at least, but I really would love Hydro Pump to have more pushback like it once did. Had so much fun KO'in people with that move, or just pushing them around in the neutral game.
 
Wow, I'm loving that Sonic's Homing Attack doesn't lock onto projectiles and stuff like Olimar's Pikmin and Rosalina's Luma anymore. Will help in those matchups.
 
Anybody else just completely unable to access the Smash in-game shop? Like, I get error 001-502 every single time. I've turned my wifi off and on, I've unplugged and replugged the router, it's been several hours, I'm at a complete loss as to what to do here. I can access the eShop and use the internet but this function's just dead.
 
Ganon did get buffs, why are people complaining about Bowser getting (much needed) buffs?

Ganondorf
  • neutral jab has been buffed from 6% -> 7% CONFIRMED
  • neutral jab sweetspot buffed from 8% -> 10% CONFIRMED

Also, I am not sure I understand the complaints about this patch. This sort of minor patching is better than breaking the shit out of characters by overbuffing them. They nerfed the hoo-haa and all of its follow-ups (Diddy is still good, but he's not SSSS anymore).

I hope the Luma nerf is valid, also Greninja has even more speed and kill power it seems.

Also Samus is fine, I mean look at this shit:

Samus
  • Bombs: 4% -> 5% (9% when detonated on top of opponent) CONFIRMED
  • D-Throw knockback decresed CONFIRMED
  • Regular missile: travel speed increased CONFIRMED
  • Fsmash increase +2% CONFIRMED
  • DAir sweetspot damage increased from 12% -> 14% CONFIRMED
  • Ftilt faster and has four hitboxes CONFIRMED
  • Neutral jab faster CONFIRMED
 
Played four games. Now I remember why I don't play often; Nintendo's lack of Ethernet port built-in. I don't play enough to spend $10+ on an Ethernet adapter so I end up with unfun, delayed messes. Maybe there's a correlation there, but I don't remember it with the 3DS version (which, for some reason, was a smoother experience than the Wii U which sits by the router).

But now I've gone and used the Mewtwo Wii U code so I feel obligated to play more than ten minutes. >_>

I think people are more upset that characters that desperately needed buffs (Marth/Lucina, Samus, etc) didn't really get them.

Ok thanks! Look forward to playing with you guys again!
