So being an avid PM player and all.

This is the difference between us and the other 90% of smashers.

 

[Soft Serve]

I enjoyed how the announcer couldn't could to 50 properly, I hope that was intentional?
Also was it supposed to be 50 new things? I was confused because most of it was confirmed the return of series staples and game modes.

 

[PMS | Tink-er]

Is there a legit use for partial air dodges? And if so, are those uses anywhere near worth all the flubbed AGTs and wavedash not getting full distances cause?

They needed to pad it out to make it seem like they had more to fill the nearly 40 minutes of time than they actually did. They used the Bowser Jr trailer to do it too. I thought it was hilarious how excited the announcer was about even the least interesting things. I think they used 5 Player, 6 Player, and 8 Player Smashes as different items on the list of 50 too, which makes me laugh a bit.

I was kind of hoping that for the Wii U version, they would pull their heads out of their asses regarding For Glory having that whole Fox Only, No Items, Final Destination stigma....but nope. They still don't pay enough attention to our lil minority when they try to include a mode more for us. Damn shame.

Most people don't come close to getting the crispiest crisp wavedash/landings that you can crisp out in a jiffy

Partial air dodges/sloppy wavedashes are triangle jumping, and they're not that useful by my current understanding.

the game is competitively balanced around omega stages/final destination - this is why projectiles across the board are generally less fast, less powerful and lower ranged

Maybe, but completely flat stages in Smash are pretty boring, both in play and in appearance. It's got a lack of variety in everything except the flavor of the FD, which just doesn't interest me at all.

It's a platform fighter

I suppose one could argue that there is technically one platform....it just happens to be the one you do the majority of your fighting on.

So basically it's useless

They could, but that's when I go ahead and ban FD

 

[Player -0]

There are minute things that seem useless but aren't quite. Positioning is pretty important, no matter how small.

 

[Pwnz0rz Man]

That's when Nintendo decided to make every stage FD. "Ban that!" They said.

 

[Vashimus]

How do people watch horror movies or play horror games? I'm such a huge wimp, I cant do either. Last time I tried to watch a horor movie I think it was like The Unborn or something? It wasn't even that bad, just a bunch of jumpscares, but I ended up hiding behind my gf the whole movie.
I tried watching a LP of Five Nights at Freddys but I actually couldn't function while watching it. Its just ambiance and jump-scares but it still kills me

A lot of horror movies are outright bad or cheesy to the point where they're not really that scary, just funny. Even for the good ones, I know it's just a movie so there's no real reason to be scared.

For survival-horror games, it's the thrill of survival and the idea of "conquering your fears" in the end that make it rewarding to me. No matter how many times I play them, they can still surprise the **** outta me.

I sure as hell have a limit though. I don't like not being able to defend myself. Don't arm me to teeth with guns, but at least give me something to work with. I don't like running like a ***** all the time. Amnesia and Slender don't do it for me.

 

[Warsaint777]

Scariest game of all time is Fatal Frame. The first one. Soft Serve if you ever ****ed with that you'd get PTSD.

None of my friends'll fight me in sm4sh cuz i'm too raw. Somebody whos 'bout it 'bout it step the **** up.

Man, somebody remind me post-release to tell the story of the incredibly minute-detailed stuff for 3.5 that I'm working on now.

This release should be crazy polished. Can't wait for it to be out.

Yeah totally man Ray and Andy are gonna be pristine ain't they?

 

[SpiderMad]

Is it generally required you turn all the lights off when you play a horror game?

Is there any good horror ones for the Gamecube (now that I got DIOS MIOS I've been trying to muster all the games to now play I said before)? I'm scared enough playing Metroid Prime, mostly because I don't know what the hell to do or where the hell I'm going.

 

[Pwnz0rz Man]

I have a hard time with many of the mainstream horror games, since they tend to arm you to the teeth or be more about action in general than scares. Then when they do try to scare you, it's just a boring jump scare. Friends loved Dead Space, I thought it was an over-rated series of dark corridors and jump scares in space though. It's pretty hard to find things terrifying when you can "FREEZE FRIGGIN TIME" or close to it and then cut your enemies into little pieces with essentially Metal Blade from Megaman 2.

the metroid prime games can be a little spooky sometimes, yeah. I'll bet I played those in the dark often.

Anyway the only good horrors on GC is Resident Evil 4 which is great but more action than horror and this one crazy game called Eternal Darkness.

I tend to agree, yeah games like dead space are not the kind of "horror" games you want, its more of a shooter.

 

[Paradoxium]

When I play horror games, I get into it. I feel like if I'm not scared, then it's not fun. So I try as hard as possible to clear my mind and focus only on the game, and end up scaring myself like crazy in the process. But that's the thrill I get out of it, same with horror films. I try to get myself scared, because that's the fun part.

I share the same sentiment, but only I can rarely do it alone, with a game or a movie. I usually need a group or I get so deeply scared I start to see **** in real life.

 

[Lizalfos]

I don't know how to feel about this.

I tried to play through the original Silent Hill on PS1 a few years ago...but it was already past it's point of no return in aging. Couldn't take it seriously with the jaggies everywhere.

The early game in Minecraft was sufficiently scary at night, til you learn to build a place to hide from Skeletons, Zombies, and Enderman.

 

[Warsaint777]

Play Silent Hill 2 then. It's still not ovelry dated in its graphics, especially whatever the HD rerelease they did of it-- not sure of the specs on that. SH3 is also scary and still good looking. The rest are no good until Silent Hills by Kojima comes out.

 

[MonkUnit]

So being an avid PM player and all, I have to say how unhype I am about the Mewtwo announcement. Not only is he not going to be ready for at least another 5 months, but he's most likely going to pale in comparison to PM M2 all things considered. With this said, it would be the same case for me with Roy as well.

Most Mewtwo fans were really excited to finally play him again a year ago with 3.0's release, I can't imagine them being equally as hype just one year later with yet another Mewtwo iteration.

Yeah, I doubt that they'll be able to make Mewtwo as hype as PM's.

I've been trying to experiment with how I grip the GC controller and I feel like the most comfortable way for me to access all the ATs I want quickly is with my index over Y, thumb on the C-Stick, and middle finger on R. What grips do you use and is what I'm currently experimenting with advised?

 

[Paradoxium]

I share the same sentiment, but only I can rarely do it alone, with a game or a movie. I usually need a group or I get so deeply scared I start to see **** in real life.

I'm the opposite man, when I friends around i can't be scared it's impossible. I don't wanna be the wimp in front of the bros and I also wanna be tough for the females. Even if I'm watching a horror film with my family there is no way I can convince myself that it is real, so I couldn't get scared even if I tried.

But when I'm by myself, middle of the night, lights off, Sennheiser headphones in, damn it makes the experience 10 times better.

Eh, Silent Hill by Kojima will have a completely nonsensical plot and would be way too wordy. You'd probably end the game by fighting shirtless on top of a massive demon too, with a rocket launcher.

No its cool have you seen the playable teaser and "gameplay test"? It's super psychologically spooky with no silly ****. Also Guilelloro Del Toro or whoever the **** did Pan's Labrynth is also working with him so he'll keep him in line as well.

Silent Hill 1 desperately needs a remake. I was disappointed it wasn't in the HD collection.

It helps. Headphones are nice too.

The Gamecube Resident Evils and Eternal Darkness are the ones that come to mind.

I can see how Metroid Prime 1 and 2 can scare you because the later areas have barely any save rooms and enemies that can kill you so easily. Getting lost just adds to that tension.

 

[Rᴏb]

It still made this guy go crazy

he probably has some sort of underlying issue

 

[Lizalfos]

competitive centric mod, yeah, that's why they go out of their way to put significant effort into things like new animations and costumes and modes that serve no purpose to competition but are fun nonetheless

it's almost like the concept of fun isn't the opposite of competition, or something

This is what we want Sakurai to understand. You and I are just alike.

Yes I've wondered this myself, but I've come to the assumption it'd still be of little interest. Though not discovering competitive Smash would be an entirely different universe altogether: I had already lost most of my casual friends to play Smash before discovering the competitive side. Maybe I'd have still be playing Wc3 and then have switched to LoL/Dota 2, oh what horribly dull nightmare universe I could have got sucked into so many others already have.

As a casual scrub who pretends to be competitive, I assure you that Dota is a fun and complex game worth trying at (competing).

 

[Warsaint777]

Cool, I just quit out of a match because it was so laggy I couldn't control my character and now I'm banned for 10 minutes.

Thanks Nintendo!

I played Wc3 and Dota 1 for years, I'd pry have continued onward to the newer Mobas if it weren't for getting into competitive Smash. I'm generally abhorring at have becoming a possible devoted LoL player (and the general nooby direction it takes on your mind and interests, as does being inside any community), but Dota 2 is somewhat okay. Still, like Chillindude says in the Smash documentary: Smash players share a bond for knowing we're all choosing to play THIS amazing game.

 

[GP&B]

Tried mobas, could never get into them. Don't care for teamwork games and I prefer more visceral games in general.
