That, or Stitch.

 

[Katakiri]

That feeling when you Hydro Pump Push someone out of their Up-B and sit on the edge charging an F-Smash with this look on your face:

I live for that.

It took me 3 weeks of playing but I think I found my tourney main.

 

[Iota]

So after playing Wario and villager then on a whim deciding to play greninja I realize that greninja fits my play style so much. Nin-ja~

 

[UnicornDemon]

This is how I pull back to my dorm room:

[Themandme]

Greninja sounds like a dork.

Greninja is a dork.

Water/Dork.

I will never tire of landing Shadow Sneak at high percents. Teleporting into people to kill them is just too much fun.

Even better is a gimp kill at low percents. Sad, but hilarious.

 

[Thalassa]

I feel like such a troll using Shadow Sneak against my friends because NONE of them are experienced smash players so they have no understanding of what's happening.

 

[TehSharpie]

Greninja a good
Still not sure if I'll make him main or strong secondary though. Both he and Sonic really fit my playstyle

 

[Erionn]

I really, really hate stages without walls.

 

[Spirst]

If anyone has the chance, try putting Sixfold X Speed, Agility Badge, and Speed Skater X Speed on Greninja. It's the funniest thing. His sliding usmash covers most of FD and his pivoted shuriken has some decent momentum for what it's worth. His jump is also extremely high.

 

[Requiem]

I really, really hate stages without walls.

I honestly dislike stages with walls because I'm not yet used to wallcling existing, and walljumping happening so easily. Messes me up everytime because I don't know what to do haha.

The main thing I like is that normally when grabbing a ledge, inputting the opposite direction just lets go of the ledge with you facing the stage. If you do that on a stage with walls, Greninja does a very short wall jump away from the stage, so you can double jump into Bair back onto the stage. You can still let go of the ledge normally on stages with walls, but jumping in with Bair is so nice.

Another thing to be aware of is that hitting up while wall clinging will do a pretty high jump from the wall without using your double jump, which can be quite useful.

Thanks to reading posts on this forum, and practicing in slow motion against computers I've been able to turn it around in For Glory. I can now consistently string u-air's which I sucked at before, I'm actually getting kills with my f-air because I've finally got the timing down. Now all I have to work on is Hydro Pump gimping, still not to good at that though I do have a few nice ones and I got my first top of the screen kill with it today to.

 

[bksbestbwoy]

Just like I made it my life's mission to land disrespectful Marth dair spikes in Melee/Brawl/Project M, my new life's mission is to kill all the things with Hydro Pump/Hydro Pump setups.

I'm supposed to be re-learning old mains and dabbling with new guys and here I am looking at another night of ninja training.

 

[WingedKnight]

Hey guys. I'm probably going to be hanging around, even if it's just to keep an eye on metagame development and pick up new tricks. I primarily roll with Dedede but Greninja is so much fun, so I've been using him a lot. The two are almost polar opposites but they complement each other really well. Seem to cover matchups nicely. The craziness you can get into with Shadow Sneak and Hydro Pump keep me coming back for more, and I'm a lifelong Pokemon fan. Chose Chespin in X though, and I stand by my choice even though I love Froakie, too.

Agreed. Wall clinging near the ledge gives Greninja some more recovery options. Spacing it with just the last hit leads to some nice follow ups as well.

Also, love your avi. Maki a best.

 

[Gah777]

Back after a long break from Smash and decided to pick this guy up as a potential Main. Also, quick question for those of you with the little heads of characters in your sig: How do you get those there?

 

[CrusherMania1592]

Has anyone completed Classic with Greninja at 9.0? What's your strategy for it?

 

[Sneak Frog]

Has anyone completed Classic with Greninja at 9.0? What's your strategy for it?

All I did was put on two big attack badges and one big defense badge for equipment, then just proceeded to dair Master Core all day. Though be a little cautious when doing it on its sword phase. Although you could also get the humanoid form heavily damaged with some up smashes.

 

[Zef]

what are some bnb wtih greninja?

 

[Thalassa]

UThrow into USmash/UAir, I guess.

 

[Spirst]

So, in an effort to spur conversation, I have a question. I've noticed that Greninja is consistently cited as being one of the top characters in the game alongside Sheik, ZSS, and so forth. Do you guys think this is justified? Does anyone see this still being a thing even within one year? Speculatory, of course, but interesting.

 

[Sosuke]

the only character i think he's worse than for sure is Sheik

 

[Sneak Frog]

Yes, I definitely agree that Sheik has the upper hand for sure. Whenever I'm facing a really good one online, it always comes down to whether or not I can outplay them.

 

[Locuan]

Hey fellow Smashers. We just opened up the Match-up thread on the Lucina board, and while the game is new and the meta-game is incredibly young, we decided to get a head start and update things as the game evolves. On that note, the RNG calculator chose Greninja as our first discussion and we would appreciate any input you guys have on the match-up! Come help us out!

 

[elusiveTranscendent]

Is this the place where we get to gush about the sugoi ninja froggie? Cause if so, yesssssssss. Yessssssssssssssssss.

Greninja sounds like a dork.

Greninja is a dork.

Water/Dork.

Greninja is the cutest dork ever.

Just how can you not like the ninja disco frog???

 

[#HBC | Laundry]

He is the best dorky froggie

Greninja feels awkward...and naked without his tongue as his scarf hahaha

He looks derpy as hell without it. He looks derpy as hell whenever his actual mouth shows.

 

[mightychir]

I like how his eyes closed makes him more derpy/friendly looking no matter what haha. I don't know if you played X/Y, but using Poke-Amie on him really contradicts to that whole "cool ninja" feel haha.

Ye. I'm pretty sure I spent like the first five hours I had the game mainly playing Amie and Super Training after getting a little bit into the main story. That's a badly worded sentence, but I'm too tired to reword that.

 

[Piggyman86]

Has anyone been able to learn/effectively use his DACUS? so far I can't even seem to do it in practice mode.
