Social Smash 4 Social Topic 2.0

[Dr. James Rustles]

This is clearly a thirst trap and I would hate to bring it up again; however, people were curious about what I looked like... so I took a picture. Tomorrow (August 12th) is my birthday, and I was planning on introducing myself to the forums on the greetings page for my birthday. It is there that I shall reveal myself, I would ask that ladies have a towel handy and that the men tighten their belts.

But... there is a surprise, a twist if you will (I am M. Night Shymalan). I have not been completely and utterly honest about something. All will be revealed in due time. I would ask that you give me free likes on my birthday post as well, I jest (but seriously though).

Yo dawg I thought you were vegito and thought where did you suddenly become so articulate

I just realized one of Robin William's last films is coming out on my birthday...awkward.

How is that awkward? What social norm is being violated?

Do you remember when I said that I was going to make a Mii to represent the competitive community using M2K's design? Never mind, I am just going to use Pikachu. You, XSoul, have the honor of battling all of my casual Mii Fighters. You face a tough line-up of Jesus, Star-Lord, Beedle (LoZ), my grandmother, and Johnny Cage.

Yes, I do remember that.
Wait, what. A tough line-up? Is this Cruel Smash 4?

I bet I could make a better Super Smash Bros. game than any of you. Any challengers?

I'm already making a Smash Bros game

Play Unity or conform, whatever floats your submarine

You'll also have to fight One Direction and JB Miis.
Nah, I'm kidding.

Lol, I have to face those failures on Mii form. Why.

No social norm is being violated. It just feels weird for me to know that.

Ness in PM isn't that much fun from his Brawl conversion, even with all the buffs to his moveset. Brawl had a bigger offstage game where Ness shined and due to the hitstun and falling speed changes in PM he's not as fun offstage. Some of his other changes I especially dislike are his bair hitbox size reduction and over-reliance on PK Fire. It's not that he needs it to win, but it's such a bad thing for the enemy to get caught in there's no reason to not use it a buttload.

I hope you realize how awful Ness was in every Smash game. PM made him very refreshing. He seems more close to Brawl Lucas then any iteration of Ness.

"Pic of the day. If you manage to raise this Special Flag for long enough, an additional KO count will be added to your score in a time match, or you'll get an extra stock for a stock match. When this appears on the stage, the fight for the flag becomes a fierce battle of tactics, which makes things pretty interesting."

So basically, it's a 1-Up.

I've never denied how bad Ness is, though I don't think he's nowhere near as bad in Brawl as everyone makes him out to be, even with the grab release BS.

It's also, in my eyes, more important than the Smash Ball now, in most situations.
Seriously, with that kind of ability, that's just crazy. A Final Smash could be pathetic compared to a free stock.

A Final Smash can win you the game as opposed to the S Flag which just gives you a bigger window to win the game. So it's actually not close to being as good.

It's like in MTG, where there are in-vacuum Lifegain decks. Sweet - but now what are you going to win with?

Unless you main a character such as Peach or Lucario, that is.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Don't main peach or Lucario then

 

[Dr. James Rustles]

Don't main peach or Lucario then

You know, I've never met anyone who picked a main because of their Final Smash...

This is actually a good analogy.

I totally did,

There is no better final smash

I am predominantly a casual player, but one of my friends decided to main Sonic based on his Final Smash.

Did you do the right thing and report them?

 

[Nielicus]

That awkward moment when those ARE my mains LOL
But what can I say...

I was born this way, baby

 

[Kaye Cruiser]

Spoiler

Wow. These look incredible.

The Smash 3 Project really does do wonders for Brawl's look.

 

[Soul.]

So, since Pikachu is on the PotD, how about that down throw chain grab.

 

[Dr. James Rustles]

yo guys feeling awkward when you shouldn't be is like awkward

coincidences != being awkward

just stahp

 

[Deleted member]

So the special flag is like some kind of 1UP thing? That's cool.

 

[Dr. James Rustles]

Hypothetical: How would you react if in the next trailer the characters are playing with items when, suddenly, someone trips a Teemo shroom?

Uh idk wtf a Teemo Shroom is, but I wouldn't pay it any mind lmfaoo

That is quite awkward, I was about to say something entirely similar.

So you were going to plagiarize me before my own work was published?!

I'm curious to know how long you have to raise the Special Flag, and if you have to remain still.

 

[Nielicus]

Yeah, I think you have to remain still because Peach and Pac were in the trailer and it would make more sense, if you could move it would be cheaper than it already is lmfao

 

[Dr. James Rustles]

What makes this item cheap compared to say, the Starman, which gives you endless free pressure? Or the Hammer, which gives you endless free pressure?

 

[Nielicus]

My wording was poor, I meant it would be cheap if you could move around :/ But they're still all cheap regardless, that's what makes it fun

 

[Morbi]

The Hammer does not give you endless free pressure. I am not sure of all of the technical applications; however, for the most part, projectiles and invincible frames stop it and it has the chance to not even work. After that, it restricts your mobility (and I believe jumping height). You cannot recover either and your options are limited to, "run thata way!"

Seems like a good oppurtunity for a Falcon Punch or K.O. Punch. I would hate to be the one person retrieving the flag at the wrong moment puttting me between CF and Little Mac in a vulnerable animation.

Perhaps even a Warlock punch? Or if we want to get really risky... an up-tilt.

If you play in a real competitive environment, like I do, you wouldn't be using hammers on a non-relatively flat non-neutral stage anyway.

So there's that!

 

[ChickenWing13]

I'd go with the Warlock punch since an U-tilt would just pull the character in and away from the Falcon Punch and I'm always one for a double whammy!

 

[Soul.]

Are Items competitive. Just asking because I thought competitive Smash had no Items.
Unless you all are talking about Item side events or something.

We just got raided by a wild Lugia named @Sapphire Dragon. ¦D

She was in here for a really long time, too.
