Houston Smash Ultimate Thread

[RT]

Probably, that one might connect to Wiimote or be separate like the Pro controller

 

[Xyro77]

*still uses WiiU pro*

 

[Shaya]

Lol I remember whats-his-name being all like NEED TO GO DOWN TO BEST BUY TO GET ME THE WII U PRO CONTROLLER BECAUSE BECAUSE. SMASH FOUR MAAAN, AHEAD OF THE BALL GAME.

 

[Xyro77]

[Xyro77]

I have a code that will allow a free digital download of Wii Party U, Pikmin 3, Wind Waker or New Super Mario Bros U.

I want Pikmin 3. The problem is, I want it to be a hard copy. So what can I do about this?

Would anybody be willing to trade a hard copy of Pikmin 3 for a free digital download code?

 

[RT]

Try selling it on eBay or Gamestop.

Huehuehue

 

[Xyro77]

You can sell codes to gamestop?

 

[RT]

No, that's the joke.

Wanna have some races this weekend?

Hell yeah dude. If you are bored, you should go to syncs. we will be karting today.

“A man who does not plan long ahead will find trouble at his door.”
There's nothing wrong with preparing this far in advance for the game.

Also, Mario Kart 8 is delicious in so many ways.

 

[Shaya]

Well apparently they were discontinuing production of them or something.
Nothing wrong with it. In his case though he was a wii mote user, so he didn't really lose anything with the announcement other than gloating rights?

 

[RT]

I've noticed a few courses/situations where a Spiked Shell or Red Shell will ignore you completely.

 

[Sinister Slush]

I haven't noticed blue shells, but defintiely seen Red shells ignore me.

 

[RT]

It's happened to me three times, twice on one stage. I believe it only really happens on courses with complex multiple pathways and the blue shell's path finding messes up.

Gliding also seems to sometimes mess up tracking items too.

So anyone in Houston planning on going to the Best Buy demos? If so which one and which character(s) will you try?

It'd be nice if everyone tries a different character so all the characters are tested out.

 

[pianodude700]

What up guys

Been a few years but I'm back.

Nice to be home in Houston again.

Definitely me, especially since it happens right after my birthday. ^_^ I'm new to competitive Smash though. Does anyone here have an idea on when the next meet-up will be?

We really dont have exact scheduled meet up times but we do usually go over to Sync's house on the weekends. Once smash 4 is out, there will more than likely be a weekly meet-up plan.

For now, just ask people if they wanna come over or if you can go to their house.

 

[Xyro77]

pretty much redid the front page and title.

If you guys could please post your 3ds friend codes and WiiU tag, ill add it to the OP. Also, if you are missing anybody on your WiiU/3DS friends list, the OP already has a few people on it for you to add. This will make match making easier to do when smash 4 comes out.

Also, get MarioKart 8.

 

[Zano]

I think my NNID is DuelistZano, dunno if there is a space or not.

[Xyro77]

ok so e3 just happened for nintendo. here are some highlights


1. Smash Bros 3ds was pushed back to the first week of October. Wiiu smash is still on for "holiday" 2014. honestly, i expect a push back to 2015 but its not confirmed.

2. Amiibo (action figures) can be scanned into smash for you to team with/fight against. Think of it as a CPU you can train/level up and customize. these can be used in mario kart 8, smash 4 and other games too.

3. The Mii character is confirmed for smash 4. 3 types actually. Gunner (hand cannon) mii, Sword mii and bare fist mii.

4. Palutena, from Kid Icarus, has been confirmed for smash 4.

5. Bayonetta 2 will release in October. It comes with Bayonetta 1 for free.

6. Splatoon. A non lethal 3rd person team based shooter. uses INK instead of BULLETS. looks fast and very cool.

7. WiiU Zelda footage was shown. Its a mix betwen Skyward Sword graphics and smash 4 wiiu graphics. will be a Skyrim type of Zelda game. will be out in 2015

8. StarFox WiiU was announced but no real footage was shown. the game will be out in 2015

9. Mario Party 10.

10. Hyrule Warriors will be out in late september. Zelda, Midna, Impa, Link and many many more are available to play as. Zelda has a sword btw.

11. XenoBlade Chronicles X, formerly known as just X, will be released in 2015.

12. Miyamoto showed off two personal projects that have to do with robots fighting. its alpha footage and thus not too impressive. Both will be released in 2015

13. Yarn Yoshi was shown in detail. released in 2015


Check www.gonintendo.com for all of that info^ and more. trailers, interviews and other stuff that will pop up after i post this.

 

[RT]

All that is left to be revealed is Pac-man...then that early leak from past E3 will be confirmed real...

 

[Xyro77]

[Sinister Slush]

I do want to see why they claimed Samus is OP in this game. Would be highly amusing if she is actually good.

You were one gen too early when you decided to main her.

 

[ZeroRebellion10]

I'll be at the Baybrook one later today, using Marth, Ike, and Megaman.

 

[CY]

Hello friendly friends.

 

[AvoiD]

I haven't been on this site in awhile.. WHADDUP. I used to be under the tag "Kuro" or something a looong time ago. Gonna get back into the scene once Smash 4 comes out.

Xyro, you still living in VG area?

 

[Xyro77]

Yeah man I'm still in village grove. Let's play some time.

 

[Zano]

Do I have you added on skype xyro? If so, let me know whenever you guys play Mario kart and I'll join if I'm available.

 

[Xyro77]

Hey guys/girls, today I got a chance to play one match on the Smash 4 demo at BestBuy in Webster, tx. Before I begin, please keep some things in mind while reading what I have typed and watching the video I have posted.

A. We used the WiiU Pro controller. Its that XB360 looking controller.

B. One match set at 2min with items on. It was also a Free-4-All.
C. I watched others play the game for about 4 hours and I saw a total of 5 people use Samus.



Having said this^ please watch read what I have posted below and then watch the video.


(not in video) All of samus moves are the same looking as they were in brawl. B-air looks a little different but does the same thing.

(in video) You cannot missile cancel. I tried 2 times myself and watched one other player try. It cannot be done. This is a HUGE problem. Also, the animation for a grounded super missile is very long.

(in video) You can dash dance. Timing is very strict but it can be done.

(in video) U-tilt does 13% fresh. I KOed a Fox pretty early with this move so I can confirm that this move has been buffed in the knockback department.

(not in video) Jab 1, jab 2, f-tilt, f-smash and b-air are all much faster in smash 4 than in brawl. It is very noticeable. I thought I saw a jab 1 combo into f-tilt several times.

(not in video) D-smash sends the foe horizontal instead of vertical like in brawl.

(in video) Bombs are the same as brawl. They are still set to a timer.

(in video) Bomb jumping is still possible. It will never be as useful as it was in melee but it still helps with recovery/stalling.

(in video)Bombs do 10% damage.

(in video) Charge shot seems to charge the same as brawl or faster. Needs more testing.

(in video) Zair seems to be faster than brawl. It still auto tethers to ledge when recovering.

(in video) Up+B to ledge auto snap is still there but a little different. Samus must be farther down in order for the auto snap to work.

(in video) Quick ledge snap from standing on the stage is either gone or i just suck ****. My first death was because I did not quick snap to the ledge .

(not in video) Samus runs faster than in brawl. Her roll is faster but its still the same as brawl/melee/64

(not in video) Dash attack does 10% fresh.

(not in video) Fully charged shot still does 25%.

(in video) Non tipped Zair does 2%, tipped does 4%. Or maybe there are two types of non tipped zair. Watch the video.

(in video) Up throw does 10% fresh.

(in video) Back throw does 9% fresh.

(in video) Pivot grabbing is still in.



Overall, I guess the question you are wondering is probably something like “is samus better or worse than she was in brawl?” On one hand I say YES she is better. Every character in Smash 4 is faster but samus has moves (I named a few above) that are even FASTER than that and that is very very good. She also seems to KO faster because her moves appear to do more knock back, which is her number one issue in Brawl. On the other hand I say NO she is not as good because she cannot missile cancel. Due to no missile cancelling, missiles can only be shot in the air out of a full hop so that you do not land with a terrible ending animation from the missile leaving the cannon. If you have seen my Brawl videos or any top level samus player videos, missiles are PIVITAL for samus in brawl (they provide spam which slows the enemy down/reduces their options, they gimp, they allow for grabs and other frame traps…etc). Since this this game is closer to brawl than any other smash game, I feel samus has just lost lots of status due to no missile cancelling. Im not writing her off just yet though because it is JUST a demo of smash 4. I played the melee and brawl demo and both times the final game was different from the demos. I think the same for the smash 4 demo……I HOPE the same goes for the smash 4 demo.
