So am I the only one enjoying the frequency of Mewtwo encounters in FG? Vision and Smash both REALLY **** him up. Countering his smashes or a decently/fully charged Shadow Ball can kill him hilariously early. And because of his weight we can kill him with Smash about as easily.

He seems really good, otherwise. He may have a very poor time against Shulk offstage though. Air Slash edgeguards are more effective than usual. With Smash on it can end his stock before 70% I believe.

I recall someone supposing that MALLC would get patched out. I cried myself to sleep just thinking of the possibility.

It's nice, but after a while it kinda gets boring fighting Mewtwo over and over.

Gonna wait a day to play some more FG. To friendlies!

Yeah, I can understand that. I guess I'm just digging all of the experience. I've only encountered him once among my friends today.

I might head over to the Mewtwo boards to spar against some of them later on.

True. Most of the ones I encountered reminded me of my first day playing my Brawl main in Smash 4. I had almost zero clue what I was doing but I'd be damn lying if I said I wasn't hype.

Gotta start somewhere though. I'm eager to see where this character goes over the next couple of days at least.

Most of the Mewtwos I played in For Glory were pretty bad. But I knew that he would be everywhere...
It reminds me of when people used Little Mac all the time and most of his players were pretty bad.

or the legendary FG Falcon and FG Link.
Some of the Falcons that I've encountered are pretty bad...
But we don't talk about FG Link... those spammy Links don't know what a Master Sword is.

The worst offenders are still the Little Macs. I've seen some good, but I've seen a lot of terrible ones. I've heard stories where matches were won within 30 seconds thanks to them side-Bing off the stage.

No kidding. I hope people fix up their game with Mewtwo soon.
Funny enough it started as a Shulk ditto, he switched to Mewtwo and I honestly have no comment about this replay.

I stopped using Mewtwo after a bit when I realized it was so easy to juggle him. Granted, I know how to escape those a bit better now but still.

And to be fair it's Day 1 Mewtwo vs Month 5+ everyone so naturally it's going to be harder for any Mewtwos right now.

The good news about this patch

- Shulk has not changed. He's still the Monado boy we all know and love
- As predicted, Mewtwo isn't so good against Shulk because of Shulk's range. That and well, he's ludicrously easy to kill
- All of Shulk's bad MU's (sans Fox lol) got nerfed

I have to say Wir Fliegen is my favorite track from Xenoblade X so far.


So blood pumping, yet so calm and focused. Hope it is a battle theme. :3
It's confirmed to play when you activate the OC Gear.
I love this track a lot too. And IMO, the way it's used is really hype.

So glad to hear this. Though I'm getting nervous about Fox, someone's telling me their Fox uncharged usmashes are getting really early kills without the sweetspot. I would've liked one or two things improved for Shulk but at least nothing of value was lost.

RIP Shulk/Yoshi glitch

Could be. Haven't a clue.

I got a "FERN" on FG earlier this morning and was promptly read like See Spot Run and full bodied like good coffee.

Wanted to give kudos for some of the most fun games I've had in a long while. And also apologize for being trash.

You can't be trash. Like, really.
I know real people who are trash, who are thinking shielding is never good. And don't know what spotdodging is.
And accuse me of cheating.
And are resistant to learning.

Led with Mewtwo, went to Shulk, back to Mewtwo, then back to Shulk.

It was obvious he was primarily a Shulk; I saw much more out of him those games. His Mewtwo was no slouch either, don't know how I beat it.

Au contraire. Although I don't seem to have those issues. I think. I hope.

That said I appreciate the vouch.

The only players that are trash are new. If you at least understand the buttons and what they do, you ain't trash.

...well. Er. Thank you. And @ LordTakeo LordTakeo . I'm nevertheless very, very, very bad.


Damn.

Well, it was worth a shot.
You will get there with time. I just kept playing, and we got from "oh hey, I learned spotdodging!" to "Whoops, spiked you offstage again, sorry!" *evil laughter commences*

I started Brawl as a noob, and... started Smash 4 like that as well. First actual compeditive Smash version to be honest.

Nope! That wasn't me. I don't have Smash for 3DS :p. Sorry to disappoint! :'D

But hey we could have fun games sometimes. I've been told I'm fun to play with.

I WANT TO BELIEVE I AM, OKAY? oTL

Edit: I also just woke up so it DEFINITELY couldn't have been me, hahahaha.

Oh wait, this is the Shulk boards. I totally noticed just now!

HELLO MONADO GIRLS AND BOYS. Hope you're having a wonderful week and day and stuff. I bet no one remembers me around here, but that's OKAY because I basically abandoned you all <3.

I take it everyone's hyped up for Xenoblade X? Cause I am too!

What's this "girl" you speak of Fernosaur?....
Are they rare? I haven't ever seen one >;)
Anyway,
My whole body is waning for Xenoblade X. Ganondorf tries to burst out of me whenever I even sees it's name.
Bahahahahaha!

Furthermore.... Does anyone want to play? I want to really see the Mewtwo Shulk matchup, and I could really use some help with my own Shulk as well, so seeing some in action would be great.

If I'd have time... I'm decent with mewtu already, and my shulk should be above average... I think.
Atleast from FG standpoints.
