Hey, it's Christmas morning time! Neat.
I got a gas station gift card and one of those seatbelt-cutter/glass-shattering "lifesaver" thingies. So yeah, good Christmas for me.
And I've given up playing Yoshi as my main in Smash 4
a heart-breaking decision, but he's just too different from Melee Yoshi. Not that either one is "better", per se, but the more competitive group I play with is a Melee group, and Smash 4 is mostly played by myself and my friends casually. So, in order to maintain my Melee Yoshi skills, I have to give him up in Smash 4.
Like it's not even funny, in Smash 4 the ranges on his Uair and Dair are so small compared to Melee, basically he has to be played like a different character in both games because the approach and combo options in one are so different from the other. Dash attack is actually a good approach in Smash 4, whereas aerials tend to be safer and stronger in Melee. Also I just discovered that Yoshi has a useful throw combo in Melee! DThrow to DownB does a fresh 20%, kills reliably (albeit at high percent) and is a good way to land a move that normally gets you tossed around like a hot potato. I suppose that's the real Christmas gift I found this morning.
Long story short, I need to find a new Smash 4 main. Perhaps Villager is good for more than just laughs 'n good times....
Edit:
I'm still trying to find a decent name for my own Fox amiibo. But all I can think of are variations of "Fluffy".
Ooh, that reminds me. I also got Pikachu and Mario amiibos from a friend, and I need to decide on names and costumes. Pikachu will be "Soda" and probably wear the GS hat, but I'm not sure what to call Mario.
