I'm not even worried about blade beam. It's too telegraphed to be good for cloud in the match up. There are only two things Mewtwo really worries about in any matchup, his reach vs yours, and his kill percents vs yours. The range looks slightly in our favor though not by much so our neutral game will be a bit dicey, though we can manage. My main concern is if he's gonna kill us at 50% or he lives to 150% or something like that.

Probably both. Also, he seems to have a better range too.

 

[U-Throw]

So I was walking with my friend to a club activity at a park and we stopped at a GameStop along the way. Turns out there were 2~4 Mewtwo amiibos and he decided to buy one. I had no money. He only had enough money for one.

...tears were shed.

I don't have a Mewtwo amiibo, either, so we can be distraught together! Seriously, though, I currently only have 3 amiibo: Fox, Samus, and Zelda. I had a Kirby amiibo, but my dog got ahold of it while I was out one day and chewed it up, so I had to throw it away because it refused to work. Poor Kirby's face looked like it had been shoved into an active volcano.

And that, my friends, is how I learned to keep my amiibo on a higher shelf! Anyways, I do intend to pick up a Mewtwo amiibo at some point, and hopefully a Shadow Mewtwo amiibo card. They both look really cool!

Also, while we're on the subject of Cloud, I think he's starting to grow on me. I was pretty indifferent to his inclusion when he was first revealed, but now he seems like he could be pretty interesting. If I'm completely honest, though, I'd still rather have Black Mage.

 

[DrRiceBoy]

I've never touched a Final Fantasy game, but from what I hear/see Cloud is super iconic. I can't say I'm super hyped for him but I'm glad he's in the game. We haven't heard news about DLC in Smash for months so I'm glad they finally revealed a character!

Cloud is the Ryu of RPG games.

Yeah, there's no arguing that. Cloud is basically the face of the RPG genre, from what I've heard. Still, because I have no connection to Cloud, whereas I do have some ties to Black Mage, I can't help but prefer the latter. Black Mage would have been very cool, in my opinion, but I'm unsure of his iconicity, especially relative to Cloud. I mean, I know he doesn't stack up to Cloud, but I'm not sure exactly how inferior his popularity is. All I know is that Black Mage is the most popular out of all the Mages. Regardless, I totally understand why Cloud was chosen, and he is starting to grow on me, which is nice.

This, too! It's been forever since we last got some news on Smash Bros. It's great that they revealed a character after all this time, especially someone as popular as Cloud. Plus, we've got a whole mini-Direct dedicated entirely to Smash coming in December! Hopefully, we'll get a release date on Cloud and maybe get a look at some other upcoming DLC.

We should be fine if we can get him offstage without a Limit Break, as his recovery is bupkiss without it. As to how easily he can get it, though, that remains to be seen.

His mobility and range don't seem stellar either, so playing safe should avoid his smashes for the most part. Just watch for the fair spikes.

 

[ミスティック Speed]

I think it honestly depends on just how fast and powerful Cloud is.
If he can keep the pressure on us, he could be difficult to manage. His attacks seem fast and high priority. His weakness might be that he lacks a good combo game and his recovery is mediocre at best.

 

[Aqua Admin Shelly]

And of course the Roy amiibo is exclusive to Gamestop. Of course he is.

I did get Mewtwo yesterday though, and it's one of my favorites, easily.

 

[Smashifer]

tfw I have 17 Amiibos but I'm not even particularly trying to collect them

...Well, the only Amiibos that I looked for as if my life depended on it were my Inkling Amiibo and, of course, my Mewtwo one.
Sure, I f̶o̶r̶c̶e̶d̶ asked my dad to drag me to the GameStop to get it at 7 in the afternoon, but hey, I can't say it wasn't worth it!
...He owed me back anyways...

As for Cloud, what we need to know is how his Limit system works; that could make or break the match up. I don't even recall them giving us a release date, you I guess we're all kind of left here wondering.

And finally, congratulations to Speed for earning such a wondrous title!

 

[U-Throw]

So, it, uh, might be a while before we get Cloud. Apparently, neither Xander Mobus nor Steve Burton have been asked to record anything. Unless Cloud either takes after Marth and speaks exclusively in Japanese or reuses voice clips from previous games, both of which I would have a hard time believing, I can't see us getting him any time soon. Apparently, Xander didn't even know Cloud was being added to Smash until the day of his reveal...

 

[ZephyrZ]

I don't have the money to grab a Mewtwo amiibo right now, but I've dropped the hint to my parents that I'd be thrilled to see one stuffed in my stocking this Christmas.

Hey guys. I know it's been a while, but I thought I'd give you an update on myself!
I'm currently borderline PR'd in NC. AND- considered the top Mewtwo player in the eastern reigon. :3

That's awesome.
Keep kicking butt for all of us, Speed.

Instead I have a spoopy ghost and bes fe grill

I almost didn't recognize you with your name change.
Getting hyped for Fates to, huh?

Was probably to avoid more leaks. Honestly, I think we'll be getting him pretty soon.

Buying the special edition day 1

 

[Aqua Admin Shelly]

Xander pretty much just has to say his name. And as for Steve Burton, it probably wouldn't take too long to record a few lines and a bunch of grunts. Probably be done in an hour or two. Cloud and Midgar both look pretty much done, I expect to see them next month, or at the very worst, early next year.

 

[ZephyrZ]

Buying the special edition day 1

Same here.
Me and my sister are going to pool our Christmas money together to get one to share. Thank goodness for the 9 save slots.

 

[DrRiceBoy]

I really want the special edition but my parents aren't willing to give me 80$ for it. So I'll just get Nohr and then IK a few weeks/months after. I'll get Hoshido someday.

[ThePsychoWolf]

My birthday is a little over a month after the special edition launches, but Hyrule Warriors Legends comes out right before my birthday...gonna have to pick and choose.

 

[Sonicninja115]

NX, Amiibo and Fates, let the saving begin!

Plus, SFzero and Zelda U and Pokken...

 

[MewtwoX825]

Hoping by the next patch we'll make Sheik and Zamus end up like Ronda Rousey.

I don't think Shiek is that OP anymore. But Zamus needs a small nerf to even her out, same with Pika. Other then that, I think the Meta is pretty even.

 

[ミスティック Speed]

I would be Speedshocker ^-^
Grouped with the 15-21 section, I think I'm doing pretty alright.

 

[AusGremlinBoy]

So have you guys ever tried side-b to foostool? It's far from true, but it's a great mixup on heavies and characters with bad frame data. It can lead into all kinds of tech-chases, which is awesome with M2's shadow ball.

 

[Demon-oni]

Side B to footstool sounds like a good quick way to a punch in the face. Maybe in for glory for some with the reaction speed of venus fly trap, but offline, they're either just gonna jump away or attack depending on what their character can do. That said, I still believe utilt/dtilt/dsmash/shadowball/fair are best follow ups, though dtilt smash and shadowball only work off a read. Only Utilt is the closest thing to guaranteed on it.

 

[DrRiceBoy]

I was shopping with my dad and a GameStop was nearby. I went inside to look at teh gamez and I saw this. I knew it came out yesterday and told myself that I wouldn't buy it until a few months later... but I couldn't resist... so I begged my dad and he reluctantly got it for me. So excited... gonna be playing this for the majority of my Thanksgiving break.

Are the new ones any good? I remember playing the originals, but it seems like the last one sorta went downhill.

Speaking of which, how are the Mystery Dungeon games? I've never played one, but I've heard some pretty good things about them. After you've got a feel for the game, I'd be interested to hear what Super Mystery Dungeon is like, if you're not too busy. I'm sort of interested in it, but I haven't been following it at all, so I have no idea what to expect.

EDIT: Good grief, I just cannot grammar today. 9_9

Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Red is amazing. I love that game.

I haven't played Gates to Infinity, nor will I ever play it anytime soon. I've heard nothing but bad things about that game.

PMD2 (Explorers of Darkness/Time/Sky) is the best in the series. I played the originals too, and while they are fantastic, they can't beat Explorers. It's just that good. Story, gameplay, music... almost everything about is fantastic. If you cried while playing the originals then you'll cry twice as much in Explorers. Explorers is a bit darker than the originals.

PMD is one of my favorite video game series ever. In my honest opinion, they are better than the mainstream Pokemon games. R/B Rescue Team is fantastic, and Explorers of T/D/S is even more so. Charming graphics, good characters, fun gameplay, amazing music... the games are so good. (haven't played Gates to Infinity but I heard that game is bad).

I've been playing PSMD for the past 2 and a half hours and I've been smiling ever since. Everything about it screams PMD. The graphics, characters, story, music, and dialogue all combine to make a fun and cute as hell game. I'd totally recommend it.

I want to emphasize on the story and music of this series. PMD games are tearjerking as heck. Explorers of Darkness is one of the very first games to make me cry. The originals were pretty damn sad too. The music is perfect. Epic, sad, cute, funny... it fits the scenes so well.

Awesome! I'll definitely keep Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon in the back of my mind. From what you're describing, it sounds really good. I love good OSTs, and, while I've never been one to harp about good stories in video games, I do enjoy a good plot and some nice storytelling. Thanks for the info!

I would recommend you to play Red or Blue Rescue Team first (Red because fire Pokémon are bae) because those ones have the real, purest Mystery Dungeon experience....
I would play the new one, it looks fun.... but it doesn't bring all the fun of the pure formula of the originals.... not as far as I've seen.

 

[Krysco]

Yeah, PMD R/B Rescue Team were good and Explorers of T/D/S were absolutely amazing. I too cried while playing the second games. I was so upset that we never got the Wiiware PMD games. Then I got Gates to Infinity and...I played it. Didn't like the first...I'd say 2 hours at best and put the game down. Went back to it a few months later and stopped at the same spot.

I don't know why. Maybe it's me altogether drifting away from the Pokemon games (have yet to beat X/Y/ORAS despite playing all of them), maybe it's the music or the graphics or my disliking of the gen V Pokemon. Something about it just doesn't click with me.

As for PSMD...I can't see myself picking it up, mostly because of GtI. Feels similar to how the Paper Mario series went.

 

[ミスティック Speed]

The new game is completely awesome and completely worth the buy. Been playing it nonstop since I got it, so it gets a huge recommendation from me.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

I'm indifferent for Mystery Dungeon tbh

 

[---]

I enjoyed the first two Mystery Dungeon games, at least their main stories. But after that they got tiresome and I sold them at Gamestop. IDK one of the main reasons I'm not a Zelda fan or a diehard RPG fan is the lack of replayability beyond the main story-line, and when I do replay them it's a 40-60 hour commitment.

Mainstream Pokemon titles get a pass from me as the team-building aspect I find to be rewarding, is easier to pick up/put down, and doesn't have the same time commitment.

 

[ZephyrZ]

I went to grab something from the back of the trunk today, but my mom stopped me and told me there's something she picked up from out of town that I'm not allowed to see.

10 bucks I'm getting a Mewtwo amiibo for Christmas. The timings just too good, and Mewtwo is one of the few characters I like that she's able to recognize on her own.

Speaking of which, I dropped the hint the other day that I'd like Robin and Lucina amiibos if they could find them cheap. The next day, I was warned not to open any packages we might get for a while. If I find any shipped from out of the country, I'm pretty confident there's a Reflet or a Lucy in there.

Heheheh. Christmas gifts hardly ever catch me by surprise anymore.

Process of elimination and probability are my downfall in that department. I hardly ever get surprised anymore.

 

[Igzex]

I just ask for money. Last time I trust my family to get gifts for me I got Mortal Kombat 2 on the Sega Genesis when I didn't even have a Sega Genesis at the time.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

I'm probably just going to ask for money too. I need a new phone, 3DS repairs, N3DS to replace the 3DS after transfering, a bunch of 3DS games I missed, a PC that actually works, etc.

 

[MewtwoMaster2002]

I stopped getting presents sometime in elementary school. My birthday is the week before Christmas, and I'm told to buy my own cake...
