Are you a hype maker?

[Godzillionaire]

I've started practicing getting creative with ways to KO opponents and I was wondering do y'all also try to do some creative KOs? Or do you not wanna make any risks and just play it safe?

 

[Kamui Nohr]

Of course! I don't play money matches after all. I play this game for fun!

 

[WalrusBiscuit]

I LOVE TO GET DANGEROUS! ... Except that I never win on For Glory ;-;

 

[meebius]

If you have the lead ALWAYS swag
but if you don't, play it safe

 

[Purin a.k.a. José]

I always try to be a hype player, but play safe if my opponent is much better than me!

 

[Xermo]

When I'm a stock ahead, I'll always try killing with pk flash. They'll run into it eventually.

 

[AreJay25]

If I'm ahead I'll try some crazy stuff. With Falcon, punishing airdodges is always fun.
But of course, I'll be careful if it's even or I'm behind.

 

[Nixon Corral]

If I'm playing friendlies, I always go for deep kills and such.

In tourney, I play much more conservatively. Naturally, I suppose.

 

[Sean²]

I'd like to be, but I just cannot. I'd rather choose the best option I can over attempting insane combos that will cause me to trade stocks.

 

[Toon612Link]

I would say playing a mid tier character is hype enough.

 

[LunarWingCloud]

Depends. If I feel like it's not paying off on a given day I won't, but if it is working to be courageous and outgoing then may as well be flashy.

 

[Kraton9000]

The only scenarios I'd ever really play safe and serious is in a tournament or if my opponent is far beyond my skill level.

Otherwise, its always:

• Reverse Mid-Air Falcon Punch
• Stairway to Heaven
• Stage Lip - Knee of Justice
• Nipple Spike
• Something Else Equally Stupid

 

[Diamond DHD]

I would say playing a mid tier character is hype enough.

That probably doesn't apply to Toon Link, considering Toon Link's presence in For Glory.

 

[ChikoLad]

These are two matches that I felt were hype that I recorded. I'm Rosalina in the first one, Sonic in the second.

The Marth player in the Rosalina match was actually very good and I had a long set with him, and while I think I won all of the matches, it was still really fun.

However, this match was just too funny> Super early U-air KO, and then played some Marth Tennis:

And this one is just a shining example of "even if the odds are stacked against you, don't give up".

 

[Kyzael]

And this one is just a shining example of "even if the odds are stacked against you, don't give up".

When I started the video, I wasn't really entertained much with the fact of Sonic but I was laughing and was surprised you manage to push Little Mac that extra bit for the KO. That was pretty good for hype.


As for my bit of hype...Hm, well I can't really say anything impressive. 2-stocking somone as Lucario or managing to come back from one stock and destroying their 2 stock isn't unheard of. I kinda wish PM Lucario's aerial force palm was placed in Smash 4 because he's have a early kill option and you know, hype.

But I suppose the biggest hype for Lucario is either getting the Double Team off and scoring a KO, landing that Bair, or getting the punish with Force Palm. (Which I noticed that sometimes, he does FP faster at random times.)

 

[Raethien]

I play C.Falcon of course as Vegeta says.... I AM THE HYPE.

 

[PeejsterM]

When playing as Robin, I usually can't afford to fool around unless I'm really that much better than my opponent. That being said though, just defeating a person with very little skill isn't exactly hype. The most impressive stuff I do is just SBair kills out of nowhere, or the rare Elwind spike.

 

[Deleted member 269706]

First rule of playing Falcon: Grant your opponent a glorious death, even if it means your own.
Always go for the big stuff, Falcon Punch, spikes, the knee, you name it. If I have a stock lead I'll go for some crazy ****, like off stage Falcon punches and stuff like that. If I'm way behind, same thing, that's really the only way to bring it back. I guess the only time I don't go for wild stuff is when my opponent and I are dead even and both at kill percentages on the final stock.

 

[Dream Cancel]

As long as you know the limits of your character, always go for the hype. Even if you're behind, you still need to be proactive at the very least.

Typically though, the most hype moments are when you have a hard read on your opponent, thus enabling absolute madness.

 

[sonicmega]

Oh, I thought this thread was about being 'that guy' at tournaments who builds the hype using his own energy, which would definitely apply for me.

Then again, I tend to get hype from people just because I play Megaman (who is rarely seen in a competitive front).

 

[CrabLeg]

I play Captain Falcon. High risk, high reward. It always makes people get hype.

 

[Dragonitan]

Rule number one: If you are ahead make sure you establish dominance by killing them with a suicidal move off the stage like LM's side B or a kirbycide

 

[NGUY (guitarstage)]

on tournaments i will always go for dairs and they are funny
