Melee Event 31???

[Echo97]

I've been trying to beat event 31 for like a month now, and every time it gives me a failure. I know it goes by score and that there's a lot of ways to accumnulate score, but nothing has been working. Has anyone had this problem and if so, how did you make it work?? thanks

Basically just get one kill and then run away or ledgestall for the remaining time. They're normal CPUs so you can treat this event like any other game against a CPU (on a walk-off stage). You can camp by the side blastline and back throw them off, or waveshine them off the blastline, or stand there forward smashing them with Marth over and over until they die, or plank with Jiggypuff, just to name a few strategies.

You could also play Master Hand: http://www.ssbwiki.com/Master_Hand_glitch

most of the events aren't even fun, just frustrating, i've tried event #48 well over 100 times and it just makes me mad and not want to play the game. worst part is I cant unlock a map without doing them (FD)

You can use Master Hand for most events where you only have to take get kills or survive (including event 48), since on account of him being unable to be KO'd it's impossible to fail with him so long as you have the time to get enough kills. If you just get better at the game then you'll be able to do the events the normal way fairly easily, but you really don't need to be good at the game for it. There's a board dedicated to single player mode if you want specific help (http://smashboards.com/forums/1-player-mode.166/).

If you just want the unlocks and don't care about actually completing the events then you should download a completed save and use that (or you should be using 20XX if you have a Wii).

Thanks for the tip; I tried it without moving Master Hand at all and it gave me a failure, then i tried it while killing them with Master Hand and it gave me a failure. I really don't know what to do, i can't get any practice on FD now.. i don't know if it's the memory card or the gamecube or? Thanks a ton for the help anyways

I think this is a bug. I have always had this issue. Every year, I check to see if anyone is still talking about it. I've gotten well of 20 KO's without dying and still get failure. I've heard people theorize that it's actually points (as in bonus points), and not the number of stocks you take, but I've also debunked that. Not sure why some games result in this issue. However, watching other people play this event on youtube and succeed after KO'ing only 2 or 3 times, I'm convinced it's a bug. At one point, a long time ago, I did manage to beat it, but it seemed completely random after a string of "Failure" attempts. I just wish I still had that memory card.

Go jigglypuff, kill them once, and then just float around the map

Yeah. I just bought a full save memory card off eBay. Who knows how long it would take to finally beat it..
