You can still enjoy casual play and be a hardcore player. The game can be played either way. That's the big appeal about Smash. Too much of one kind of play only can get repetitive sometimes.

Could some people read over the Nair KB Guide? I want to post it in the guide's section. However, I want to make sure it is finished and good first. I need to know what parts are hard to understand and need more explanation, and what is just poorly worded or badly done.

I just feel like it slows my progress in the competitive area. Especially if I'm not even using my main.

Tomorrow I will try to chill out a bit and just go random for the day. Hopefully today was a one-time thing.

Best way to play the Great Cave Offensive:
  • if you have 8 players
  • if items are on
  • if equipment and customs are fully activated
  • 300hp stamina match
It's easily the best casual experience I've experienced in Sm4sh.

Great Cave Offensive would be more enjoyable if I didn't have to either squint or sit super close to the TV just to see my character. Same issue with Palutena's Temple but not quite as bad. And I don't have a small TV either.

Godbless you..There is nothing more depressing in SSB4 than hearing Mewtwo's star KO, no matter what character you play as or main. I hope you're taking the proper recovery afterwards because that is a hard way to go out.

On a different note, I've started experiencing success from short hoping backwards as a bait for characters who like approaching with aerial options, like bairs from a Mario or fairs from sheik. Once I see that their going to input an aerial off their own SH I land and do a turn around fair to meet them head on during the later frames of their move or sometimes even beat them out right during their intial frames with good spacing. I find it most useful in late game when people grow more cautions of getting shield grabbed.

Am I fool for this?

Of course you're not a fool. In fact, I think I'll have to try that strategy out sometime.

Also I freaking love your profile pic.

Thanks! I'm hoping it could be yet another decent mix up to pull off.

Nintendo direct tomorrow... expect sun and moon and a whole lotta Metroid
I don't believe we will get anything at all related to S&M, it would make the Pokemon direct we got the other day somewhat pointless. Although I do expect a full frontal assault from all angles on E3 with little in between then and now outside of perphaps box arts and/or starters. Metroid and others are in a similar boat with little until E3 I believe.

Also I thought this was fun so I wanted share.

FTFY. :4duckhunt:

I don't even like dogs, and Duck Hunt's star KO sound effect depresses me.

There's a part in some manga in which Mewtwo uses a giant spoon to stab Deoxys through the chest.

Hilarious yes... but that spoon can slice buildings in half ;)
Never really found it to be that silly myself given Mewtwo wields it like a samurai. It's going to be fun when Mewtwo finally makes an appearance in a Death Battle episode, if only to listen to Wiz/Boomstick talk about it. Cuts buildings in half, turns into a fork, thrown/controlled midair as an energy projectile, create tornadoes, and extend without limit. LMAO

Just pay attention to the XY saga of the manga, as it's only a matter of time before we get Mega Mewtwo given Team Flare has set up camp in the Pokemon Village a few chapters ago. ORAS just revealed that Devon Corp made a mini-Ultimate Weapon and used it to capture Mega Rayquaza at the Embedded Tower (HGSS), killing (the non-Whismur) Aster in the process. While XY has some Essentia disguise shenanigans going on.

I only have about $20 left.

Today I was approved for an EBT card in the SNAP program (food stamps). I didn't want to do it, but my alternatives were even more unsavory: beg, mooch, or starve. Food stamps really are my only option until I get a job.

I'm so thankful that I at least have this. I'm pretty excited about being able to go buy some food again. I gotta wait about 1 more hour before I can pick up the card.

I'll undoubtedly travel to the library today to watch the Nintendo Direct. I'm excited for that, too! Rumor is Monster Hunter Cross is getting localized (and named Monster Hunter Generations), as well as a HYPE new DLC costume that I am super excited for! MH DLC is always free, btw.

Sure, I have no money, but it's exciting to me anyway! One day I'll get MHGenerations for sure. It really looks to be the best MH game ever, imo.

I can't stand ZeRo, so I'll pass on that video...

Anyway, here are my predictions for today's Direct!

-Pikmin 4 revealed.
-Paper Mario Wii U announced.
-Star Fox Zero delayed again.
-amiibo for Cloud, Corrin and Bayonetta.
-Footage from Zelda Wii U.
-Footage from Pokkén Tournament.

Did they mention a wave of Pokémon amiibo for the 20th before? I noticed a large amount at my EB Games (French Gamestop) which is how I got my Mewtwo amiibo.

Fair enough, don't worry too much though it's a lot more complicated than that/fan speculation, it's all from Japanese Monthly Magazines so a lot gets changed/expanded upon in the actual volume releases, plus most of it hasn't been properly translated. Personally I need to start reading the Black/White saga and read the official HGSS saga. There's actually a lot of missing in-between chapters for XY.

I just wish they'd release Volume 53 already. It's been a year+(?) since 52 came out and the Black 2/White 2 saga has been dead since then, while XY/ORAS enough content to fill around 7 volumes already. Not to mention the USA is finally caught up in terms of official releases beyond 52.

I don't think the Direct will be too eventful. They're likely saving stuff for E3 to make up for the Digital Event last year. I don't expect anything on Zelda. Star Fox seems like a guarantee.

In this direct I'm expecting some news on Pokemon Sun and Moon and maybe Starfox.

What I would like to see is a surprise Greninja confirmation in Pokken but I'm kinda doubting it.

Nintendo might also say something about Metroid Federation Force. It seems like everyone forgot about that game.

I don't really know what to expect out of this direct outside of Stair Fax Star Fox.

48 minutes before it starts.

They will announce MGS5, Witcher 3, FO4, SFV, MKXL, Rocket League, Super Mario Galaxy 3, F-Zero U, Mother 4, Metroid Prime 4 and Fire Emblem Fates, all for Wii U.
Either that or it will just be updates on games we already know with no hype nor surprises....

*sigh* And the Direct actually started well....
Then, 3DS flood, Wii U is dead, reep, guys.
I still had the slightest hope something Metroid related was coming after the Federation Force news.
Yep, reep, future and dreams, we can hop to the NX already, there is nothing left for the Wii U.

Well, the direct is over and I can say that I'm happy with it. SNES games on the New 3DS and a new Kirby (Kirby can now use mechs!) has got me hyped. I definitely have to get an eshop card so I can get myself Donkey Kong Country 1-2 and Super Metroid soon.

This broadcast has been interrupted to show you some cool Mewtwo play....
Also, love story.
Sadly, I am extremely depressed at my own love life so I have a tendency to despise 99% of all relationships. No exception here.

Anyone else worried about that new Paper Mario game? That is the series I like most (besides Splatoon) shown today, and it has Stickee Star elements...uh oh.

Nothing new for Pokken...so I guess I'll just pray for a release day surprise.

Yeah, I believe I heard something about Gamestop doing restocks on February 27th, along with some one-day sales on Pokemon merchandise.

Uhh, have you SEEN the current character select screen? It screams new characters. Four of them, from the looks of it. I hope they chose well.
:214: deserves a mention at least, and something else from Generation 6 like Diancie wouldn't surprise me either.
