I live in Osaka and would be down for playing SSB4 if anyone is around. On another note, anyone know anything about the scene out here, either JP or Intl?

Anyone in the Kansai area, specifically Osaka, who plays SSB4? I'd love to play with people who are interested in learning to play at a high level (or ideally who already are and who can teach me hehe). Two more questions I'll just tack on here...I tried opening JP forums on SSB that were...

I played against an excellent Sheik the other day. Seemed like I would only get frustrated trying to beat her as my main, Robin, because Robin's greatest weakness is characters who can apply pressure like Sheik can. I changed to ZSS and had a pair of even, exciting matches. ZSS is about as fast...

These are the kinds of intricacies I was looking forward to seeing. It would be great if they benefit Robin too, because I'm really enjoying playing her and feel like she may really be my main among the toons I like best. But I also recognize that in Smash not all characters need or can benefit...

I want to second Greninja and Little Mac. They have the tools to avoid our projectiles and keep pressure on us. Greninja's shuriken are a pain, and for the same reasons so is Sheik. She can interrupt our spells and put a good amount of damage on us with just shuriken. Then when she wants to...

I unlocked all the characters almost entirely by accident. I wanted to learn to play Robin better against players so I played a lot of multiplayer online. Then when I went to unlock characters I found that playing MP matches fulfilled the requirements I needed to unlock dudes. I just had to do a...

I am going to go try that right now, Shiki. That sounds like such a beautiful edge-guarding tech. Thanks man.

I actually have played one good Palutena and she was everything you described. Well, adding in a seemingly very long range on her grab. Several times I thought I was well out of grab range and wasn't. And yes, just to reiterate, auto-targeting projectiles, long reach smashes with high knockback...

I just got some more matches in and I'm finding Greninja and Little Mac are both popular on the Japanese network...which kind of sucks for me because I feel like both of them are extremely challenging match ups for Robin. Little Mac has SO much speed and priority. He can actually punch straight...

Yeah that was my experience too, Raziek. It hasn't been an issue in matches yet, but with enough time I bet I'll lose it at the wrong time. I reread your OP and I'm going to play some more matches today. So far what you've said has been consistent for me too. Elfire starts up too slow to use a...

This! My god, this! I've been so worried. I'm borrowing my friend's 3DS to play until the new 3DS releases. But even then I'm not going to want to destroy my brand new handheld with the usual Smash use. It really does take a toll on your UID.

Thank you Hong. A question I have about the Levin sword...I see that it equips with you ground and air smash, but after I have it equipped I can't seem to swing the Bronze sword with aerial tilts until I reset with a ground tilt. Can anyone confirm being able to switch to Bronze in the air?

I can't believe this met such criticism. I would jump at a GC adapter in a second. Tilts are easier on the stick, it is more ergonomic, the button placement makes more sense to me. I spent untold hours playing that way and have it all in muscle memory, so why would I want to relearn it all on a...

My impression is that 3DS Fox's overall movement is quick and he has strong attacks, but that against non-CPU opponents the landing lag after his aerials and his laser make him less interesting to play than he used to be, even in Brawl. I haven't been playing against people, so I can't say...

I've been playing the JP version and as far as I can tell, this is how Robin's book works. There seem to be multiple books and I think it works such that each element he can use has a book that goes with it. His elements are thunder, fire, air and shadow. If you spam any single element too many...
