I honestly don't see how Lucas would have anything that would cause an issue bigger than anything we already allow.

Who knows, it's not like they playtest this game. They just copy+paste Lucas from Brawl and change some variables. GOOD TO GO.

Then he does a move one some character near a slope or platform or something, because lord knows this game hates slopes and platforms, and the characters freeze or some ****.

But yeah, just wanted to see how you felt if something dumb was secretly found and someone tries to huehuehue their way to first.

I bought an extra cube adapter from Fry's since they randomly had them. Anyone needs one, let me know.

Watching the stream for that Dallas weekly, I can't help but feel that custom Pikachu is a little broken. Heavy Skull Bash gives Pikachu a semi easy to land early kill move (which kills around 70% near the ledge uncharged). Thunder Jolt paralyzes opponents longs enough to kill confirm at high percents and is super easy to spam and land.

Or probably just Esam making it look broken. Not even sure anymore.

All the quick characters do get handed some absurd early kill setup. Sheik and sonic get side B combo into extremely powerful upsmashes.

Meanwhile most of the heavies get frame 1 super armor specials that make them hard to combo. It breaks the rules in interesting ways and that is some of the appeal.

Bottom line is fast characters will camp their asses off and win in Smash.

Dallas tournament is winding down. Trela is last houston player left.
Trela is 4th or better.

5th-Karna
9th-Pwii
17th-Asa
17th-Gaius

Strong showing from Houston in custom meta at the biggest Shockwave yet.

I'm just happy Dallas didn't win.
And good **** to Trela for taking ALSM down another notch. :applejack:

Finished the first season of Flash. Hands down the best superhero tv show I've seen so far. Flash > Arrow > Daredevil. Not gonna lie, I'm super excited for season 2.

Flash is definitely sick. But BRUH. Arrow better than Daredevil? DEFINITELY not Season 3. DD was sick. You could argue its better or as good as Flash.

You don't even know the things I know about Flash season 2.

I watched one or two episodes of Daredevil and wasn't interested. It's more like a problem-solving crime show rather than a superhero I thought. I haven't started the most recent season of Arrow yet, but I'll get to it soon. DD gets better throughout? Or should I finish Arrow first and then start watching it.

Leak me all the info. I NEED to know.

How in the hell could ANYONE put flash or Arrow above DareDevil? Those 2 shows are so damn corny is embarrassing. Like I'm sitting alone in my room and I feel my face getting red it's so embarrassing.

Remember, customs give more varied gameplay! Varied gameplay meaning new ways of making the game janky and stupid.

According to Reflex Xyro, Wario got buffed.
Falco got massacred.
Dedede and G&W got nerfed overall (viability wise for sure)
Fox got buffed, Peach got buffed, Toon Link got wrecked. Some people thought the Pits were good, they got buffed. Lucario got kinda massacred in terms of base kit, but was ******** before wiiu nerfs. Pikachu got buffed.

Nearly all the characters who were good-ish but had some stupid **** against them in Brawl (or didn't have stupid **** themselves) got buffed up the ****ing wazoo:
Sheik, Sonic, Ness, Yoshi, ROB, Pits

@ Shaya Shaya what Wii U nerfs did Lucario get besides increased landing cooldown on UpB and being able to cancel aerial landing with UpB? First change was definitely needed and second one did nothing to have a huge effect. Lucario has always been bad.

Daredevil is so overrated. Flash and Arrow are gay as ****, but they're still way better.Daredevil gets the benefit of hour-long episodes released all at once on broken tier Netflix and still barely keeps up. iZombie is better than Daredevil. Smh

Bethesda: Fallout 4 and umm...DOGE

Sony: Ports ports remakes multiplats indies...Uncharted? Super charged PC, but still sub 30FPS for that "cinematic experience" aka movie system. RIP Vita, you never had a chance

Microsoft: Halo! And uh....Halo? Sports? HALOOOOOOOOOOOO.

Nintendo: Games for Wii U finally, excuse the past three years because we were drunk, amiibo ****, and some 3DS games. New system which is still vague. FUN but also ignore because muh sales

EA: OHOHOHOHOHOHOHO, let me tell you about microtransactions and DLC.

Ubisoft: No, just...no

Square-Enix: Whatever, FF and mobile ****...don't care.


I saved you from wasting time.

You're free to believe whatever you want, but E3 has been booty for a while.

E3 is always entertaining.

From the boo-ing of MS x-bone reveal to
the cheering for Sony's ps4
From the embarrassments of Nintendo's Wii Music concert
to
the foreign devs hilariously butchering the English language (http://youtu.be/f6OCnvvkSLM)

E3 is a gold mine of games and moments!

If you think nothing on my list will come true, you are delusional.

I'm Sure lots of it will. But to say that e3 ONLY provides what you listed or to say that e3 is MOSTLY what you listed is just plain wrong,

You're right, he was pretty much gutted from Brawl, but Aura mechanic was overtuned.
But him not having the same "recovery" weakness from Brawl was silly silly stupid. Throw that weakness back on him and he fell down probably 5 tiers.

@ Zori Zori he did lose invincible bomb dropping. Back air as double standard and pogo down air. But eh, he does have potential and all, but I don't think he can claim to be higher than low mid tier in Smash 4 (at least right now).

@ Shaya Shaya Aura may have been buffed, but he has to rely so heavily on it now and you die sooner in this game. Coupled with the fact that he is not easy to play and they took a lot of what made him good in Brawl, he is worse overall. Most Lucario mains agree on this. His recovery in Brawl was garbage and desperately needed a buff. As long as you don't do the smooth landing, the cooldown balances the move.
