Oh hey yet ANOTHER theory about getting custom moves faster
https://www.reddit.com/r/smashbros/comments/3c7x5i/i_think_i_figured_out_how_to_get_specific_custom/

OP said:
TL;DR - I think that what custom moves you get is linked to what character you're playing as AND what moves you use while playing that character.

So, I was looking through what custom moves I still needed to unlock, and noticed that I was missing at least 1 "counter" type move on almost everyone with a counter type move (Lucina, Little Mac, Shulk, etc). I almost never use counters in battle, and I wondered if there was a correlation there. So I conducted a test:

1) Lucina - Customs missing: Effortless Blade, Iai Counter

I went into All-Star mode on hard and just spammed the **** out of Counter for the first two stages. I ended up dying on round 2, but went back in and spammed it a bit less. I ended up getting Iai Counter after stage 3. Then, I did the same with Dancing Blade, and got Effortless Blade after stage 4 of my first run of spamming it.

2) Zelda - Customs missing: Farore's Squall, Din's Flare

This was my control group. I went in, and just played Zelda as I normally would (which is to say, not a lot of Farore's Wind or Din's Fire). I beat All-Star on hard, and got 2 Zelda customs that I already had. I did this again, and got 1 Zelda custom I already had. The third time, I spammed the hell out of Farore's Wind, and got Farore's Squall after stage 3. I was then able to get Din's Flare on a second run of hard All-Star after stage 2 by spamming Din's Fire.

It seems that if you want a specific custom move on a character, you can get it REALLY quickly by spamming the hell out of that "move slot" in All-Star mode on hard. This is great for people like me, who are missing 1 or 2 custom moves on a bunch of characters. I'm not sure if this works in other modes, but I'm pretty sure it does.

just tried it out, I think it might depend on which move you kill with the most. I played it a couple times as luigi, spamming fireball a ton and mostly killing with smashes and down b, and I got a down b custom.

I played all of Ike and rarely use counter and got all of his. Same with Little Mac


I got all of Robin's custom moves for Nosferatu and I never use that move

Yeah Melee and Brawl are pretty ugly.

Though in Melee's defense, it was an early GC title.

After the Rayman leak?

More like after the ESRB leak. Every leak after that one has been utterly atrocious. The Rayman one was the only good one since then, and even that wasn't fully believable.

I mean, let's not forget the endless flood of crappy CSS photoshops with the 50 Facts Mewtwo model, pictures of characters like Lucas and Wolf from Brawl mods, and the same Isaac and K. Rool renders a billion times.

Melee has a decent artstyle which aged despite how crappy the models are.

Brawl looks like hell and crap due to its gritty artstyle. Yet certain characters like :marth::ike::falcon::snake::zerosuitsamus: look passable but not decent.

:sonic::pit:&:dedede: looked the worst

Ehhh, Melee had its share of ugly models, too.



Like Yoshi, in particular, who looks pretty awful.

In terms of visuals Smash Wii U is gonna age the best easily, considering the high quality models and good artstyle.

I meant that they don't even try anymore because no matter how good it is, no one is going to believe it considering how good the Rayman leak looked

On the subject of bad models....

Peach always looks really off to me in Smash games. Even in SSB4, which is especially strange, since Rosalina looks exactly like she does in the Mario series, just with a more detailed gown.

She's not quite as bad in SSB4 as she was in Brawl and Melee, but she still doesn't look like herself....

I know what you meant, and replied as such.

The same was the case after the ESRB leak. There hasn't been a dip in quality between post-ESRB leaks and post-Rayman ones. They're all really crappy photoshops of menus.

The main issue with Brawl's, in my opinion, was that gritty realistic style it was going for. It just felt wrong with most of the franchises represented.

SSB3DS is much more vibrant. Obviously it's never going to be praised for its graphics, but I don't think it's ever gonna be brought up as being unappealing artistically like Brawl is.

Eh.....I think Balloon Fighter would've made a decent retro character, to be perfectly honest.

It was very silly to expect him after the Villager was shown to have his entire premise as an Up B, but still.

Had the stage been revealed first and Villager's Up B not been known at that point, I think he probably would've been viewed as a frontrunner.

Yeah, obviously I was kidding, hence the Kappa emote. Smash 3DS looks better than Brawl, but in all honesty I don't mind the graphics. Brawl didn't need the realistic spice. They could have made it a bit brighter or something.

I thought Melee's graphics looks fine, it just doesn't look that good on LCD. But under CRT, the game actually looks pretty good! It made a huge difference.

Brawl's is better than Melee's in terms of technical visuals (as in higher polygons, better texture resolution, etc), but its art style was so drab that it made the game an eyesore.

SSB3DS has very nice colorful visuals. I kinda prefer it over the Wii U, despite Wii U being HD and all. If Wii U had 3DS's color pallete, I'd be very happy with the Wii U's art direction. As of now, something about it feels kinda... dullish in areas.

Yeah, I don't think Brawl was completely ugly. It's the most bland in that regard, but Melee's graphics were bad in some areas, and SSB64's were pretty horrible for a late-era N64 game (though it has a good excuse, being low budget and all).

I actually like Ike's Brawl model better than his SSB4 one.

That's a very good way of putting it, and I agree.

Brawl's art style worked for some aspects, but in general it felt...meh.

Even Project M is more colorful. Granted, that was because they brought back stages and added better palette swaps but still.

The story to it made no sense too!

"Someone I know from IGN received an incomplete DLC demo from Nintendo and gave me this!"

Has anyone did a side-by-side difference with Real :4palutena: and the fake leak one
