but Mario and DK chase me down so much.

Maybe throw them? All jump power is reduced during this spirit battle. They might not recover.

I'm Kirby or Villager so......throwing them is not a game plan for me, and time is running out,

Quick question about arena lobbies: What's the best way to name and label them? Also, while I do enjoy 1v1s without items, I wouldn't exactly describe myself as a "veteran player", so would the " anyone" tag be better for them?

 

[Double K]

Remember, Toei sent a Cease and Desist to Mexico's government for having a public viewing of the DBS finale
First I've heard of Smash. Maybe because the game's still very new and they want the meta to be established?

That was due to the locations possibly pirating it. They forced cities to make it into an event and watch it via Crunchyroll

Global Smash Power is such a dumb ****ing ranking system and I fail to see what's the point of having it instead of an actually normal and functional ranking system.

It's literally just a reskinned form of the elo system.

I name my arenas The Bone Zone.

Go with that.

So , a question:

Apareantly Toei Animation , Bandai Namco and Nintendo are stopping DBFZ and Smash Ultimate to apear in EVO Japan.

Toei said that "they are not getting money in these tournaments"

But why Smash?

Android 21 is going to be in Smash

Because Smash hates all of you

If you can inhale Peach and go near the blastzone that would work. Or you could try using the weird platforms to your advantage and use trees.

It's probably the same reason why Nintendo still has friend codes, doesn't have messaging online or voice chat with strangers in Smash, etc.

Nintendo's online features have always been weirdly restricted compared to other companies because they are the kid-friendly company and Nintendo doesn't want to abandon that.

I know it is stupid since parents let their 11 year-olds scream slurs at each other on Call of Duty but it's clearly Nintendo's thinking.

 

[KingofKoopas]

I was thinking something a little crazy here, but...

Imagine if Toei is stopping Smash becouse Toei have some right on a DLC character.

NOT GOKU!

 

[Yoshisaurus Rex]

No.
They can't.
No CPUs can and if anyone tells you otherwise they're spreading misinformation.
The only thing they're good for is teaching you bad habits.
You're better off getting stomped online and actually learning people's habits than learning to stomp CPUs.

Then I guess I’ll stick to being a filthy casual until the online gets better which realistically could be never at all.

 

[Noipoi]

Why did you tell me to go to Galeem now i'm fighting him and I can't win what the hell.

Inkling and Fi are pretty good at this, though. The Splattershot racks up damage.

 

[kirbsmash]

I did inhaled Peach and killed myself many times but the game is like 'lol no'.

 

[Noipoi]

YEAH I DID IT!

WAIT WHO'S THIS GUY?

 

[Iridium]

YEAH I DID IT!

WAIT WHO'S THIS GUY?

Spoiler

Is it Dharkon? Yeah, still haven't played myself.

 

[ZephyrZ]

YEAH I DID IT!

WAIT WHO'S THIS GUY?

Spoiler

That's Galeem's echo figher. He's like Galeem but edgierer

I can't believe he stole Raquaza's boss roster slot. Pfft.

 

[Dyllybirdy]

YEAH I DID IT!

WAIT WHO'S THIS GUY?

Spoiler

Yeah, there are two of them now.

 

[Idon]

Then I guess I’ll stick to being a filthy casual until the online gets better which realistically could be never at all.

Oh no, the online's HUGELY improved and the ranking system, while still weird, works to an extent.

I highly recommend going online to get beat up and learn from there.

 

[Deleted member]

Guys, Toei doesn't have to do with Smash Ultimate being excluded from EVO Japan. Only for FighterZ.

Nintendo of Japan is the reason for Ultimate.

 

[Bionichute]

oof yeah, Id say, if you wanted it, the GC controller is good but the Pro Controller is just as good. Anything is better then the joycons for Smash.

i think the joycon layout is fine? as long as you have the grip, the controller has the same layout as the gamecube control

i do wish the stick on the right one was higher so i didn't have to switch between jumping and stick moves

 

[Raxxel]

Can I get a source on Toei stating that they're the cause of the FighterZ being pulled btw? This is for a friend who wants to keep up with this story.

 

[Bionichute]

YEAH I DID IT!

WAIT WHO'S THIS GUY?

seeing these kind of reactions is so good

 

[Idon]

No official statement.
But it's the only explanation, especially considering Toei pulls this crap all the time.

Here's something.

 

[Bionichute]

oh yeah can someone tell me which feels better, using the stick for aerials and having a jump button, or just tilt jumping?

i find it difficult to use the jump button and wondering if i should switch

 

[Icedragonadam]

Question is though is what's NoJ's reason for this?

Wait until you hear Dharkon's battle theme. It's the best Smash boss theme by far.

 

[Yoshisaurus Rex]

I’m still questioning if it’s worth the money. The fact I have to buy a LAN adapter sucks ass. I’m running tight on money as it is anyways.

 

[REZERO]

Try it without a lan adapter if your modem is close.

 

[Blade of Evil's Bane]

How do I actually git gud at this game?

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

Practice... what a boring answer...

A bit late for answering but I took my time (as usual) and made you a mini practice guide because i'm rooting for you and not your friend

Spoiler: How to practice IMO (i'm not an expert but that's my take)

To put it simply, pinpoint in which aspects of the game you struggle the most first (approaching your opponent a.k.a neutral game, confirm kills/take your opponent's stock or defense/the ability to shield and dodge at the right time).

Then try to practice one particular aspect at a time in a game environment where there's little or no pressure and gradually increase the difficulty when you feel you're getting better.

Neutral game is the hardest (and the most significative) aspect to master imo because it's a combination of knowing what your opponent's character can do (his strong and weak points basically), knowing what your own character can do, reading what your opponent is trying to do in real time and knowing the various timing specific to each attacks (e.g. 'comitting' with a smash attack/slow attack is risky, choosing a more 'hit and run' approach is generally safer). In other words it's a mix of knowledge and reaction time.

Getting better at safely approaching your opponent/neutral game basically gives you the opportunity to rack up % faster than him, leading to the next aspect:

Confirm kills is a pretty simple aspect. Each character have some moves that are better at confirming a kill (e.g. Incineroar back throw, Sheik bouncing fish, Snake up-tilt etc). Find the ones that are the most reliable for your character/gameplay. Know at what % the move usually kills (you can easily test it in trainning mode), when your opponent reach that % wait for or create your opportunity to use that kill move. Best way to practice finishing moves imo is playing with a % handicap on your opponent, it's one way to focus only on learning how and when to use finishing moves.

About Defense, at first i personally just played match after match against various cpus not attacking at all and just trying to block and/or dodge everything. It's a bit boring but you'll learn how to deal with pretty much everything the opponent throws at you (in other words, you'll learn the timing). When you master defense, you're getting less dmg (duh) but you also get opportunities to 'punish' your opponent (it's a sub-aspect of defense that you can practice after mastering your basic defense skills imo). Some moves are better at punishing depending on the situation.

With time you'll probably want to add some combos, pressure tools, edgeguarding, teching and other more advanced techiques to your toolbox but neutral game, confirming kills and defense are the basics imo.

That's how i see it anyway, I hope it helps and if it does and you happen to become a top player one day i want 10%

 

[Iridium]

Question is though is what's NoJ's reason for this?

No official reason out there, but I guess they're not entirely comfortable with Ultimate being played? There's not too many reasons that make sense and stray off. Just a strange decision to make, for it most likely would have been huge in terms of about everything.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

The above post is repugnant.

 

[Yoshisaurus Rex]

I play exclusively in handheld so I could play closer to it. It’s a shame that lag still exists in this game when I’m paying money I worked hard to get. I’m just sticking to what I have now.

It's most likely due to the official league they have over there and they don't want confliction.

 

[Noipoi]

It definitely ain't it.

 

[Verde Coeden Scalesworth]

Just remember, only report a post that is inappropriate. Don't comment on it. If a post would be deleted, it's easier on us if it's treated like it never existed. Less talk about it means the thread continues on in a more appropriate fashion.

 

[Just a penguin]

Yeah, it only draws more attention, which is what the poster wants.
