I think something that hurts Smash 4 right now in western regions isn't necessarily that we only play for money--it's that there's never been a period where money's off the table. I would argue that the reason Melee is so developed is both that every character was developed and had time invested...

I was expecting it to be something like that, but wanted to be sure. Thank you.

http://smashboards.com/threads/1-1-5-patch-notes.433162/#post-20999175 Is the bit about Bowser here true even though there aren't file changes for Bowser listed in the other post with the changed file list? I thought at first I might have glanced over it because he's Koopa in the files but I...

I'm playing Doshin the Giant for the first time. I was a Sega kid growing up and Melee was largely my introduction to Nintendo games, so the trophies for weird obscure characters always had this sense of mystique to me, I wanted to play all those games. Next up is probably Cubivore, haha. Smash...

I'm half-joking because I hate the matchup. It's probably not The Worst Matchup Ever. But hear me out. Cloud's best-in-class aerials can force ROB to stay offstage for a very, very long time. He's big and he has a very floaty, slow, defenseless recovery. Once you get Cloud offstage as ROB, he...

Anyone have any tips for Cloud? Every time I run into one at locals that's basically the end of it for me. Here's me playing a Cloud on FG https://youtu.be/_Oe8siQ0GsI I got destroyed in several games with this guy. This is the only one I won where this person played Cloud. I frick up my...

Hi, ROB player here. His best matchup is ROB. Hope that helps

I'm confident that next time there's a tier list, Toon Link and Greninja are going way up. I don't know if it's a response to the tier list or just coincidence, and Toon Link got some buffs which helps, but I have been seeing both of these characters' presences as tourneys increase by a...

I really would like to see a big compilation of glitches/problems put together in an easily-digestible manner to be presented to Nintendo. I hope this thread can be that. I would really love some balance changes, but I'd accept a thousand years of Sheik if everything at least worked as intended.

In my time against some Cloud players I consider very experienced at Smash, I've found Lucas is an incredibly solid matchup for them. He has spacing abilities, he can deal with most of Cloud's approach options, dsmash/PK Thunder/PK Freeze are all great tools for harassing Cloud offstage without...

I mean, when you look at the top players, Zero's the only player who sticks solely to the highest-ranked characters. Nairo still regularly uses his Doc and has been known to pull out Robin (and honestly I think Nairo could ruin lives with just about any character in the game), Dabuz has used...

I encourage you, if you want to play Smash 4, to just practice whatever character you want. Even really badly ranked characters like Jigglypuff have utility as backups on certain unfavorable matchups. I'm convinced that--maybe not any time soon, but eventually--someone's going to do what Axe...

The DLC is pricey relative to the rest of the game but I don't really mind it considering the circumstances. How many games get this kind of support this far out from launch? I have no real complaints about the DLC. Corrin kinda sucks as a character choice, and of course I wish we could have...

The Boney alt represents my love of dogs, and the color green. :4lucas:

Mewtwo is, in my opinion, a good character to practice if you play characters who get out-projectile'd in certain matchups. I consider his reflect to be one of the best in the game. It kinda depends on how much the character works for you though.
