Mii Brawler is fantastic. 2/3/2/3 is a very fun set up.

 

[RyuhoFox]

but i love crash

That's what someone who hates Crash would say.

 

[Dyllybirdy]

To summarize, he's a crowd favorite whose catch phrase is "YES! YES! YES!" Sounds familiar?

Uhh... I guess it does?

 

[Bionichute]

Uhh... I guess it does?

Spoiler

The gateway to hell, unlocked by Rosalina. Sounds about right.

Anyways, I tried fighting a level 8 CPU Falco.

My word.

Well, if I won't be able to play online for a while, then CPUs are my only option. I'll take the difficulty for sure.

I sure do hope it's not just the instrumental lol.

I hope we can get a few vocal tracks in too. Rivers in the Desert is something I really want in the game. Still sad we didn't get any vocal tracks for Bayonetta iirc

Yusuke you stupid sexy jerk

 

[Bionichute]

so does anybody know how to jump off of wario's bike reliably

 

[Cutie Gwen]

lmao Ryu's tatsu is so **** in this game cause of the anti-crossup mechanics, shield once and Ryu's hitbox just ****ing disappears lol. I loved killing with Tatsu in 4 to **** with my friends so me switching to Ken made me miss it a bit at first

 

[Idon]

Aight, I'm at 1.73 mil and I aint back into elite.

SMH, I'm never getting back there again.

 

[KarneraMythos]

My Ike is in Elite at 1.78. Dunno if I'm in the bare minimum though.

EDIT: Make it 1.8 now

 

[Moydow]

My Chrom and Roy are at just under 1.82 million GSP, even though the last time I played them online, they were at 1.75 million. How did I gain 70k GSP by doing nothing?

As for the Elite cutoff, my Lucina is at 1.79 million and is just about in there, so I'd say it's at 1.77 or 1.78ish.

 

[kirbsmash]

Should I get an gamecube controller, you guys?

 

[Ramen Tengoku]

Should I get an gamecube controller, you guys?

It depends. Are you fine with your current controller?

 

[Jakenimbus]

i want to note that i actually love kingdom hearts and will definitely buy 3 when it comes out (not day one, probably a few months later?) i just really don't think sora fits in smash bros as a personal opinion

Let’s see. Kingdom hearts is based around Sora fighting a bunch of heartless and bosses. He has a weapon, the keyblade. We literally have Isabel who runs towns for a living as a playable character. I definitely see sora fitting in smash.

 

[ZephyrZ]

I wish I had more time to play online at home. I'm super grateful that my Switch is portable though so I can play on my lunch break.

Should I get an gamecube controller, you guys?

I dunno, do you prefer a GC controller or are you just asking because that's what everyone else seems to use?

I personally use a pro controller myself and it serves me perfectly well.

 

[kirbsmash]

Well, my hand hurts, if that's something.

Well the way GSP is based on how many people you're better than, it's probably that more players joined and are worse than you steadily increasing your GSP.

The CPU for Geninja at level 8 legit knows how to fox trot and do true combos.

This game's AI is terrifying.

 

[Ramen Tengoku]

Then ya... maybe you should get one...

You gained 70k GSP by doing nothing because 70'000 players started playing between the time they were 1.75m and 1.82m.

Pretty simple.

The CPU's can squid-bag.

Skynet is closer than we thought.

A lot of Smash 4 CPUs were updated with combo later into the game's life, actually. I think what makes Ultimate's CPUs special is that they're so much more agressive compared to previous games. They approach and throw out attacks much more wildly and will frequently got for edgeguards.

 

[Deleted member]

Bike seems to have gotten pretty nerfed in Ultimate. It can be used to attack, but it's incredibly easy to shield and the respawn time is a lot longer than it used to be. I'd just use it for recovering, and maybe for Waft setups if they still exist.

 

[Noipoi]

How do I actually git gud at this game?

My friend keeps kicking my ass, I want us to at least be on equal ground.

 

[kirbsmash]

ALSO why do I have Splatoon 1 and 2 but I am not good with Inkilng?

 

[Ramen Tengoku]

Delete please

Oh, so that's how GSP works. I see. I just never really bothered to look into it too much, so I figured it was just a score or something.

also I just got Marth to Elite, the cutoff is 1.79 million right now.

I hear Wario's bike can't break when thrown anymore so that's good for edgeguarding right?

Pick Chrom and mash the **** outta them buttons

i am convinced that the people who are good at smash are actual wizards

Reminds me how I love the Kirby games but I'm not too good with the Kirby cast in Smash.

 

[R O F L]

On the topic of Ultimate's CPUs, do y'all think the Ultimate CPUs are harder or easier to beat then Sm4sh's CPUs?

I tend to beat 9 CPUs more consistently in Ultimate then in Smash 4. They also tend to feel a lot more like real players then AI which freaking reacts to your attacks in one frame.

Also, could 9 CPUs possibly be a decent training tool?

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Well, my hand hurts, if that's something.

what controllers are you using now?

For one, they definitely seem less predictable than the ones in Smash 4 at least. But if you have actual people you have as sparring partners, then I say go for them instead of CPUs. You'll just get used to more playstyles that way, but that's not to say CPUs are completely useless at all.

They can get supernatural though, so that's a big factor in why they aren't relied on very much.

The Boss' spirit battle is bull crap.
