There's also this pretty cool product called the PowerA Wireless GameCube Controller which is basically a GameCube shell with Pro controller internals. It lets you have the best of both worlds, although it still has the slight lag of a Pro controller that @aleckermit mentioned. However, it's...

I assume he meant that he likes to stay in the air and use aerials since her ground attacks aren't great? She doesn't have any projectiles so I assume that's it :)

I think regardless of how you define a fighting game, combos, etc. The fact remains that all Smash games are absolutely competitive. There is top level play in which the players are executing things which are quite difficult, which can include technical inputs, setups, mind games, combos...

I would like to know this too. Especially if I can mash without hitting the Y and X for jump, so that I'm not forced into a jump out of my mash. In Smash 4 and now Ultimate I just mashed all of the buttons, but I ended up jumping a lot which put me in just as bad of a position.

Yeah I have noticed that Inkling's roller is a total pain in the ass, and is really strong. The K. Rool down throw is by itself not overly strong but the way it combos into down smash makes it such a reliable kill tool. I think that burying is used a lot more in this game than previous ones and...

So far the rest setups that I've tested like up tilt -> rest seem easier to hit. I haven't tested DI but a number of other setups seem to work pretty well also. Her aerials are a bit better than Smash 4 because they are faster overall, but you can still get caught in a vulnerable position if you...

I doubt it, it's already not super strong but probably useful situationally. If you can get the frame perfect Z wavedash it's a bit better but still I don't see why they would change it. There's plenty of new dash mechanics which are pretty good.

Villager can pocket the cannonball of :ultbowserjr:, obviously. However, pocketing a cannon ball that's not even fully charged (about two seconds) can fully shield break the opponent :ultbowserjr: at full shield. The pocketed cannonball overall does amazing shield damage and even if it hasn't...

Anyone know if this works if I have my grab button remapped to something else? Like can I use the button that has been remapped to grab? I assume so.

I'm always enticed by characters with tons of cool setups and item play. In Smash 4, it was :4pacman:, but I'm no Sinji thats for sure. I really want to get good with :ultsnake: and all his gadgets for the same reason, but I always end up getting destroyed while I'm trying to set up crazy C4 or...

I haven't been able to test the PowerA against the wired Pro, but vs. the wired GC through the adapter the PowerA feels ever so slightly less laggy. Again, this could be placebo or something else though. There have been a lot of people experimenting and testing lag so I'll wait for that to...

Hi all, I recently got a PowerA wireless GC and I just wanted to share my thoughts on it after having used it for a few hours. My background is about 3 years of playing Smash 4 with my friends (no tournaments). So, please keep in mind these are just my initial impressions coming from someone who...

Not well. I had a very defensive and combo based play style in the previous game (played a few different characters). Basically, I would zone around my opponent with lots of shielding and wait for an opening, whiff, or mess up of some kind (baited out a lot of moves). Then I would go in and try...

I bought it almost immediately. To be honest I tend to main a few characters but I really like playing the game with many different characters, figuring out good counter picks to characters, etc when playing with my friends. Because of that I get really excited when they add any new characters...

I agree with what @faygoshill said. I'm a relatively defensive player coming from Smash 4 and I have been liking Marth a lot in Ultimate. To me the important thing to decide is whether you want to be defensive with projectiles or go for a closer style keeping opponents ranged out with...
