Smash Wii U Master Core Question

[Mario & Sonic Guy]

Lately, something has been bothering me about Master Core. You know how one of the challenges says to "clear Classic at intensity 5.5 or higher"? I've been under the impression that 5.5 is the lowest intensity that Master Core will appear in for Smash Wii U.

However, I've been hearing that intensity 5.1 is the minimum intensity level for encountering Master Core. Is this really true?

He does show up at 5.1. Only sword form. Not sure about 5.0.

Thanks. As for intensity 5.0, I do know that in Smash 3DS, you won't encounter Master Core on that intensity level.

Yes. It is. It's the minimum, and Only swords, Shadow and Core appear.

 

[Mario & Sonic Guy]

Yes. It is. It's the minimum, and Only swords, Shadow and Core appear.

Yeah I already know about that. It's just the description of one of the challenges that had me very curious.

Yeah. Just I needed a real reason to get past 10 characters. That didnt involve putting in 10char or some filler like that.

5.5. is the lowest for the Wii U version I think. While 5.1 is the lowest for the 3ds version.

5.5. is the lowest for the Wii U version I think. While 5.1 is the lowest for the 3ds version.

It's 5.1 for both. Since Wii U has equal or lower minimums for bosses, it would make sense.

I don't think it's 5.1 for the Wii U version, I once went through around 5.3 and never encountered the Core.

It's 5.1 for both. Since Wii U has equal or lower minimums for bosses, it would make sense.

Basically, it goes as follows...

3DS
Master Giant: 7.5 and above
Master Beast: 6.0 and above
Master Edges: 5.1 and above

Wii U
Master Fortress: 8.0 and above, but it will never appear in Group mode
Master Giant: 7.0 and above
Master Beast: 6.0 and above
Master Edges: 5.1 and above

The intensity minimum drop from 7.5 to 7.0 for Smash Wii U Master Giant mostly has to do with the challenge where you must clear Classic at intensity 7.0 or higher with everyone.
