I'd like to second using Splattershot as a baiting tool. I'll do this with other characters like Game 'n Watch, etc. too. I'll intentionally use a few Splattershots to condition them, and once you see the light bulb go off in their head and they pull out the absorb, now you know you're in. At...

I've always loved the squid-kid aesthetic and how well Nintendo gets across that pure, unadulterated coolness factor, so I wanted to give them a shot. I like fast characters who want to get in and be aggressive, which is why I've enjoyed Pikachu and Shiek in previous games - so after playing...

Mostly RAR/IRAR, yeah - basically as an approach tool; however, I also just find it difficult to control the direction my character is facing in general. I wasn't sure exactly what techniques other Inkling's are using when I see them tossing BAirs all the time, and thought I'd ask in case...

Additionally, if they're smart and just hold shield while you splat, keep in mind that you'll know exactly when you're going to stop, but they won't: so mix your timing up. They'll have to react, or attempt a prediction, and that can lead to some mind games into a follow up. That said, I mostly...

I think it's safe to say that BAir is pretty important for Inklings' game, but I've been having difficulty doing it on command; sadly, it seems more often than not I BAir unintentionally, and FAir or NAir when I try to intentionally BAir. I see other players pull it out all the time in videos -...

By default connecting a Pro Controller to a Switch via USB pairs it with that system. So, unless there's a setting to prevent this that I'm unaware of, it would still reconnect to that last system after playing wired. This is why people are saying to disconnect the battery: It will only ever...

A friend I scrim with regularly has recently picked up Pichu, and he just spams dodge rolls or dashes into an up throw thunder, and it feels almost inescapable. Has anyone else been having trouble with Pichu? He feels so fast compared to other characters, and I have trouble reacting to what...

I've been grinding out our lovable little squid-kids since release - as I'm sure we all have - and, as I improve, I find myself thinking more and more about where my weak spots are, and especially where the character's weak spots are. So, I thought it might be good to get discussion going about...

This is definitely breadth. The very fact that there is extra knowledge you must know in order to make optimal play decisions makes this breadth. Depth is a trickier thing to define, but generally speaking Depth is what's left when you "know all the facts" about a game. Using Smash as an...

This is an amazingly worded point. I believe someone previously also brought up the concepts of depth of play versus breadth of play, and that applies here as well. While breadth can certainly increase the amount of gameplay depth, it does not guarantee to, and can often do just the opposite...

Yeah. It's been 4 years or more! Life, Work, and my Masters made it so I had to put Brawl aside. The new release of Smash 4 has gotten me really excited, and I'm at a place in my life now where I can devote time again to it. I figured it was a great time to get back into the scene =) How has...

Happy Birthday FZ! Oh, also, long time no see everyone =) I don't even know if anyone remembers me! It's been a while since I stopped playing Brawl =) Meow!

Hello everyone! I used to be a pretty active part of the Pika community about 4 years or so. Life happened, and between my Masters and Work, I had to drop out of the Smash scene. My life has really calmed down now, and with the release of Smash 4, I'm excited to return to the community! You...

I'm currently sitting in my Databases class and not in the mood for databases today >.< I was almost late too, because some bugger LOCKED HIS BIKE TO MINE. Seriously? WHY did they do that? Rargh. Mreow!
