The Official Conquest Thread

[Splooshi Splashy]

*Has come back from repping in FG FFA against , another , and -- 83 *Cue me & the other Puff pretty much making Lemmy's 2 minutes in there terrifying due to how EASY it is to keep the high ground against him & Rest him at 60+%...** And yet Lucina-chan takes 1st place while I give a measly 2 points and the other Puff gets 2nd place.
*Cue me -ing with in the next round and having a ball while showing off Side B Jump Cancels in general*

Just 2 questions before I start guessing who will win this: Where's & ? Why is NOT with ? 's Up Tilt & 's Side B can break shields in 1 go.

Anyways, this one's going to be hard to decide between Lucina-chan and the Bowserpuff duo. While I want to say that & will take this due to historical precedence of "The team with the most amount of people in them usually wins," has just come off of not only a domineering win with 4 other strong Conquest winners, but damage buffs on some of her moves from the most recent patch. I seriously cannot help but believe that she's going to pull off the kind of rule-defying upset that & once did before.

Despite this, I'll stick to my guns and rep the Puff. This next Conquest will be a dangerous time for my , considering how frequent the Puff may be. At least everyone else in that Conquest will be easy pickings for my . :>

EDIT: Oh, and the 1st place prize for the last Conquest was a Smooth Lander Hat Equipment piece with +34 Defense & -25 Speed for , , & . Probably as well once he's out.

 

[TaRtOoN-Hand94]

And the Results Are:

On the 3DS:

Team Jigglypuff Wins with 50% in the whole World, 49% in the Americas, 56% in Europe and Oceania, and 48% in Japan.
Lucina Second with 25% in the whole World, 24% in the Americas, 22% in Europe and Oceania, But 27% in Japan.
Marth Loses with 25% in the whole World, 27% in the Americas, 22% in Europe and Oceania, But 25% in Japan.
The prize was a Trade-off Speedster Agility Badge.

Congratulations Lucina, you have stood on equal footing with the Hero King himself. Though neither of you could withstand the might of the King of the Koopas himself. Nor the Balloon Pokemon itself.

And here I thought Lucina was the next Link/Shulk in terms of rule defiance. Apparently not.

*Has just come back from repping my main dalmation in the 3DS FG Smash room against a good Fox & a Wario that tried to make like and Chompcide folks.... in a walled Omega stage against wall-jumpers. XD* I've seen AceStarThe3rd do that to someone in his most recent ep featuring Wario, and you sir thought you'd only have to put in as much effort as Kirby does? You didn't even wait for someone to be sent off-stage before trying it. You only landed it once against the Fox player, because he didn't know what you were up to. Anyways, somehow, even when I let the Fox player KO me at the end to try and garner more points for the Blue Team, I still won 1st Place out of 3 with 9 points given for the Blue Team, for I apparently led the room in KOs that round prior to that last second KO. What a great way to start off the Runback Conquest from the end of last year. As a good sport, I stuck around for 2 more matches after that as the pitbull and the Banjo-Kazooie dogs before leaving, win or loss, as a way to show them that I indeed main the duo.

Months have passed since the last time DH & Link squared off in a Conquest, where Link's team decisively trounced DH's team, even with the might of Little Mac & Bowser. Considering who's on Link's team this time, it's looking to be that way again, especially since the Pits, 2 of DH's bad MUs, are on the Links' side. DH's team also does not have the star power it once had. Sure, Fox & Falco make moderate appearances, as does Zero Suit, but not to the extent that Bowser & Little Mac do.

However, this time, both Links got mini buffs and big nerfs, while DH MAY have a more consistent FSmash now. Nobody else on either team have gained or lost anything big in this patch. Whether or not this affects this Conquest remains to be seen.

Naturally, despite the odds being stacked against the dog's team, I'll stand by the pooch, regardless of how little chance he himself may have at winning this Conquest. At least folks in the FG Smash rooms will finally get to see me let out my CostcoDawg 1st thing, instead of waiting for a Flare Blitz spammer or a good Robin/Mega Man/Samus or another Duck Hunt to provoke me into letting him out. Here's to hoping I don't run into good Sonics, Yoshies, or Rosalinas during the next few days. Oh, how I would LOVE to see a GOOD Jr that actually use Side B Jump Cancels in multiple ways & take advantage of their projectiles beating the dog's in the next few days, even though I'm supposed to be dreading them as the dog (At least shots from certain Default Gunmen CAN blow up Mechakoopa in 1 go, particularly Sombrero's & maybe Brown Coat's. I COULD also steal the Mechakoopa for a few seconds....).

 

[TaRtOoN-Hand94]

And the Results Are:

On the 3DS:

Team Arrow Wins with 61% in the whole World, 59% in the Americas, 65% in Europe and Oceania, and 62% in Japan.
Team Bullets Loses with 39% in the whole World, 41% in the Americas, 35% in Europe and Oceania, and 38% in Japan.
The prize was a First Striker Sword equipment.

[Splooshi Splashy]

And so, the last Conquest, much like VS , ends as expected: With a decisive loss for my main.

*Has come back from repping the Sushi Chef Headbanded in both versions of the FG FFA room and got rekt both times (4 points in Wii U, and a miserable 1 point in 3DS*

This might be the 1st Conquest in what seems like ages that I genuinely have NO idea who's going to win at all. On the one hand, we've got 'Chu, who has had at least 1 surprising win with (whom I totally would've repped, were he in this one)... and that was it, in terms of actual wins. He barely lost w/ & , decisively lost against & (even with Buddyzard!), and even with all of said Pogeymanz sans , basically tanked in 3rd place.

On the other hand, Sanic had a shocking win... in the 3DS version, the 2nd to last time he was in a Conquest, with an apparently STRONG European & Oceanian presence. He had solid 2nd place finishes in both his first & last appearances, and he was one of the 4 winning carriers.

With such history in mind, I think I might now know who I'm actually going to support for the upcoming days.... and not since the VS Conquest have I really done this... but as a big fan of low & even bottom tiers, I'm unfortunately gonna have to do the dirty thing and *GASP* sell out with who-might-still-be-among-top-10-w/out-customs-even-with-nerfs ! The last time I actually did such a thing, Conquest-wise, I actually lost w/ , expecting Melee top-tier memories to prevail. Perhaps this time my selling-out won't end in a Conquest loss.... *Evilly giggles as he fantasizes about facing , , & even at the same time in the FG FFA room in a Walled Omega stage and practically disrespecting their entire arsenal with Spin Dashes & sheer run speed (and in the case of Thoron, simply ducking and DTilting), especially the dog's! *

[Splooshi Splashy]

Even with the Europe & Oceania regions' votes on deck, Sanic just couldn't outrun the 'Chu. And thus marks the 2nd time where my "selling out" & causing folks to leave the room in salty fits over it via sheer high-tier performance powers (and me QUICKLY switching to someone like or to not only appease them & keep them around, but to personally get the icky top-tier vibes off of me. Plus how often does Doc even show up? And who gets salty losing to him? Once you hit him out of his 2nd jump & Tornado, he's as gone as . XD) did NOT result in a Conquest win. Just a measly 200g. :\

*Has come back from proudly repping the lovely low-tier-when-not-2322/1322-Custom'd-Out Miss in the FG FFA room against a good that had great Rest aim (in the air too!) & a who mixed up his Fruit throws, including throwing the Key through the Hydrant, and scored 6 points*

Finally, we're back to a Conquest where I don't have to directly "sell out" at all~ :D As history has shown us multiple times over, any team with on it is very likely to win. This is the fact that explains my decision to support the Green Team as Palutena and MAYBE Lucario, but certainly not Mac. The question here is whether or not he's beloved enough to carry & , who have been notorious for losing Conquests just as many times. The other 2 teams all have proven strong Conquest winners on them, with & being the most notable.

Aside from , , & , this will be a fun week for both my & . Flare Blitz spamming s beware!

For the record, Sonic won in the Wii U version.

[Splooshi Splashy]

Wow! The 3DS crowd certainly loved & possibly enough to take the win, even with probably having to carry Miss (whom I repped for the majority of the week, btw, and scored a total of 58 points doing so). The Equipment Prize was a Desperate Specialist Boxing Gloves with +57 in Attack & -30 in Defense.

In the Wii U version, however, Team Shulk was 1st instead. Team Mac got 2nd place, and in both versions, Team Greninja got last place. Exact numbers? Didn't copy those down before I had to leave my bro's room for the night. Has the mighty -chan fallen from grace? Or have we merely seen her limitations in changing fate?

*Has come back from repping in the 3DS FG FFA room against a surprisingly helpful , , and who, while they were building damage, weren't really able to cash in the KOs, which I as Ludwig am definitely very good at, and scored 11 points to start off Team Jr with a bang!* Said match was saved & posted under the name "HelpfulConquest~" :D

*Cue "Determination" from the Chrono Trigger OST*

Could it be? Could this really be the 1 Conquest that our Future King might actually have a geniune shot at winning?! I may have once wished for a Conquest like this, but I didn't think it would actually happen! 8O

I predict is gonna be 3rd place all around. Has he even won a Conquest on his own merits? The only time he won one was when he was carried by and especially , and he's by his lonesome here.

If anyone here poses a threat to Jr, it's , who actually has it GOOD against him, despite essentially being a worse Mario w/out Customs. Plain 'ol Mario's more common than he is, but would they really switch over to the Doctor long enough to trouble the Prince of the Koopas? :o Unless Custom Specials come on in the next few days somehow to allow for 1312 or 2312, I doubt it. >

*Cue "Chaos/Konton" at 02:34 from the FF13-3 (aka, Lightning Returns) OST*

I am so hype right now, you'd swear I was like Larry from this dA comic right now-- *Checks dA, and finds that the comic in question had disappeared, due to the account it was on having been deactivated* Oh. Dear. ._. Anyways, my hype levels are still thru the roof! >:D

"Drive onwards to certain victoly, fellow Koopalings! Show the Flat Man and Fake Doctor who's boss with our multipurpose Side B Jump Cancels!" *Drives off in a standard model Koopa Clown Car, with an arm pointed straight ahead and an eager look*

 

[TaRtOoN-Hand94]

The Equipment Prize was a Desperate Specialist Boxing Gloves with +57 in Attack & -30 in Defense.
In the Wii U version, however, Team Shulk was 1st instead. Team Mac got 2nd place, and in both versions, Team Greninja got last place.

Thanks for that, you mind keeping us updated with the results from the Wii U?
Unfortunately I only have the 3DS version as such can only update with the 3DS's results.

I can concur that Dr.Mario's a threat. After my first round as (I rep the Flat Man) I went another round to cool down, there I was face to with with a , and . Try as I might, won with me only coming in 2nd 3rd last.

 

[Splooshi Splashy]

As the 1 other person who has been consistently posting in this thread for the last several weeks, I suppose I could help out with reporting the Wii U results. Perhaps the next time I log on here after firing up the Wii U version, I could include the numbers from the different regions. :D

In the next 16 hours of the 3DS version, as well as the next time I trek into the Wii U FG FFA room, I shall brace myself for the Doctor, whose FSmash can KO at 80+% against even if he's close enough to the edges. I'd also have to hope the Omega stage I see him at does NOT have walls, so that once I intercept his 2nd Jump + Tornado, he'll be as done as . >

I'm earnestly not too concerned about G&W, even though he has been making more appearances since the arrival of . As myself, the only thing Flat Man's Bucketing is an exploding Mechakoopa, which take a while to explode, and at the rate I usually bring them out in FFAs (which is not too often), he may not get to fill it up all the way with just my Mechas by the time 2 minutes have passed.

Depending on how the next few days go, I MAY have to say that I get salty losing to Doc as ... *Nervously chuckles as a giant sweatdrop somehow shows up on my head*

EDIT: Here's the stats for the last Conquest in the Wii U version:
Team Shulk got 1st place with 37% World & Americas & Japan, 38% Europe & Oceania
Team Little Mac got 2nd place with 33% World & Americas & Europe & Oceania, 34% Japan
Team Greninja got 3rd place with 30% World & Americas, 29% Europe & Oceania & Japan

 

[TaRtOoN-Hand94]

And the Results Are:

On the 3DS:

Bowser Jr Wins with 38% in the whole World, , 46% in Europe and Oceania, 39% in Japan, but 34% in the Americas
Mr.Game & Watch Second with 32% in the whole World, 28% in Europe and Oceania, 35% in Japan, but 31% in the Americas
Dr. Mario Loses with 30% in the whole World, 26% in Europe and Oceania, 26% in Japan, but 35% in the Americas.

An amazing twist here, it seems Dr.Mario Won in America but lost everywhere Else!
Unfortunately, Mr. Game & Watch, whom I supported lost everywhere.

New Conquest!
May 29nd to June 6th.

Sky's the Limit

Red Team: Rocketeer:
Blue Team: Balloonist:
Green Team: Pikmin Pilot:

 

[Splooshi Splashy]

Wii U stats:
Jr got 1st with 39% World, 38% Americas, 46% Europe & Oceania, 40% Japan
Dr. Mario got 2nd with 33% World, 34% Americas, 28% Europe & Oceania, 30% Japan
Mr. G&W got 3rd with 28% World, 28% Americas, 26% Europe & Oceania, 30% Japan
Prize for 1st was Meteor Master Drill with +34 Attack and -25 Defense.

*Bumps up "Salvation's Fanfare" from the FF13-3 (aka Lightning Returns) OST on the Surround Station, and hype-fully parties without dancing*

Allow me to declare that "No, I DON'T get salty losing to Doc as ," because the 1 time I DID face the Doctor in the FG FFA room as during the last week, we tied for 3rd place as someone else took 1st & 2nd. Flat Man was somehow absent during that entire week.

It took practically the entirety of Smash 4's existence up to this point, but now it has finally happened: won a Conquest! I earnestly am amazed that this actually happened, even with the might of the Doctor. What's more impressive is that he pulled it off withOUT being on his team to practically carry him. 8O *NOW hype-fully dances tastefully to the bumped up song in question*

That the Doctor lost to Jr says something about the online populace: They just couldn't let go of their DThrow --> UTilting Plumber long enough to pester the Koopa Prince. X> They probably also couldn't handle NEEDING to pop Tornado IMMEDIATELY after spending the 2nd Jump AND begging for RNG to grant them a wall to wall-jump off of. >XD

*Bumps up "The Coliseum - Fearsome Warriors -" from the FF13-3 OST on the Surround Station*

*Has also come back from repping Alphimar against a Lucario, Lil Mac, and Mega Man in the Wii U FG FFA room, and scored 7 points in 2nd place, tied with Lucario, with last being LM, who just got wombo combo'd, and 1st being MM, who despite careening sharply off-stage twice due to overexerting on his spikes, scored clutch multi KOs to make up for it*

*ALSO repped Alphimar in the 3DS FG FFA room against a Greninja, Lucario, and a Ganondorf, and scored 7 points in 2nd place as well, losing only to the King of Disrespect himself, Ganondorf*

I'll just state this straight up: Olimar's not gonna win this, despite having a favorable MU against the now nerfed Diddy, because of not only his terrible Conquest record, but also the sheer lack of footage posted of him in much of the world, most notably the U.S. of A. I myself do not see the Pikmin Captains very often in FG Anywhere. Yet Alph is who I'll rep for the next week, despite such a grim outlook.

The REAL contest here is between Diddy & Villager, and folks HAVE been saying that Villager has a favorable MU against Diddy as well, also because of how nerfed Diddy has become...

Will the former top tier be rallied for long enough to win despite the nerfs to the inFamous Hoo-Hah, or will the high tier camp out the fallen monkey?
I may be doubtful of this, but could the public surprise me by supporting the Pikmin Pilot, whom hardly has any presence in FG Anywhere?

 

[abx]

MUs are irrelevant anyway, Diddy Kong could, like, collect points by beating someone else. I guess Diddy will win this by a mile since he's so hyped. Villager is quite sophisticated, but rather among a relativly small circle of players. Everyone and his mom seems to play Diddy since he got shifted to his own tier and it hasn't changed since he got nerfed.
I guess I will go with Olimar though. I have a heart for underdogs.

 

[TaRtOoN-Hand94]

And the Results Are:

On the 3DS:

Balloonist Wins with 65% in the whole World, 63% in the Americas, 64% in Europe and Oceania and 67% in Japan.
Rocketeer Second with 22% in the whole World, 23% in the Americas, 25% in Europe and Oceania and 20% in Japan.
Pikmin Pilot Loses with 13% in the whole World, 14% in the Americas, 11% in Europe and Oceania and 13% in Japan.

The prize was a Desperate Immortal Clothes equipment.

New Conquest!
June 5th to June 12th.

Sky's the Limit

Red Team: Kirby:
Blue Team: Kid Icarus:
Green Team: Special Guests:

 

[Splooshi Splashy]

Results for Wii U version:

05/28 - 06/04 W A E&O J
Pikmin Pilot got Last Place with 15% in the World, Europe & Oceania, & Japan, and 16% in the Americas.
Rocketeer got 2nd Place with 24% in the World and Americas, 25% in Europe & Oceania, and 23% in Japan.
Balloonist got 1st Place with 61% in the World, 60% in the Americas, Europe & Oceania, and 62% in Japan.

100g was awarded for Olimar/Alph supporters (i.e. me)

And thus, as expected, Alph's losing streak continues... Yet much to my surprise, not only did Diddy lose, but Villager won by over 60% in every region! I guess the public really couldn't rally behind the post-patch nerfed Diddy hard enough, what with his Hoo-Hah being nowhere as effective as it used to be....

And now for our new Conquest, "Series Showdown: Round 2!"
*Has just came back from repping against a and 2 ciders in the Wii U FG FFA room, and somehow scored 1st place with 13 points due to said Bowserciders*

*Has also came back from repping against a , , and () in the 3DS FG FFA room, and after 2 minutes, the entire room entered Sudden Death, and after my usual ShortHop NAir, seemingly everyone else got each other while I calmly charged up for Key, and when I got Key, I immediately threw it at the 1 person that was left after the chaos, and scored 10 points in 1st place. Said match was saved and sent under the name "CalmReach4Key..."*

After such a heated Sudden Death, I stuck around as Pac-Face for 2 more rounds, which I also won 1st place in. This is a strong start for me this week. :D

Both matches featured a . This is a telling sign that Team Kirby will be a force to be reckoned with for the next week. I'm banking on 's explosive Europe support & 's last Conquest performance to pull through for Team Special Guests. Since I'll be repping Pac-Face for the next week, of all the folks involved in this Conquest, I personally REALLY don't want to see the most, considering how much mileage he gets from copying my Fruits.... Yet the chances of me running into him throughout the week will be pretty high, if his last Conquest appearance is anything to go by. I just have to hope that if I DO see one, that said Kirby (or 2 or even 3) will be more interested in Kirbiciding or Stoning than Fruit charging....

I doubt Team Kid Icarus will be taking this, considering that 1. the Links aren't with them, and 2. Lil' Mac's not with them either.

Edit: Perhaps the Duck Hunt boards will more easily find some penguins to hunt down in FG Anywhere over the next few days in regards to finding one to grind out the DH VS D3 MU with...

Also, I believe these Conquests can be seen as forecasts for who you can expect to see more often in the next few days. It is with this idea in mind that I sometimes speak of MUs amongst those featured in the Conquest, hence my dreading of Kirby when I'm Pac-Man that I spoke of earlier in this post. Throughout my participation in these Conquests thus far, there have been many a time where I really DID run into characters featured in the Conquest while I myself was running a character featured in it. To win big points for a character or team in a Conquest against someone featured on the other team in it when you DO go for the Points, it sometimes helps to know the MU, even in FG FFA, where wombo combos and the ability to focus on 2 other people are present. Matches featuring Conquest participants (especially those on the opposing sides) are also among my favorites to participate in, considering how eagerly & seriously I treat the fated meetings...

 

[TaRtOoN-Hand94]

*Has just came back from repping .

Well that's awkward. I'm repping because I recently started playing Kid Icarus Uprising again, and because no one else is going to.
From the sheer amount I've encountered, Team Kirby's gonna win on 's back, second place'd come Guest Stars on 's back.

Mewtwo Strikes Back

Red Team: Mewtwo:
Blue Team:Team Pikachu:

 

[Splooshi Splashy]

Wii U Results:

Team Kirby takes 1st place with 42% in the World, 41% in the Americas, 44% in Europe & Oceania, and 45% in Japan.

Team Special Guests takes 2nd place with 34% in the World, 36% in the Americas, 31% in Europe & Oceania, and 27% in Japan.

Team Kid Icarus takes 3rd place with 24% in the World, 23% in the Americas, 25% in Europe & Oceania, 28% in Japan.

Prize for 2nd is 200g.

1st place prize is 1000g for 8 points. (Thank you Wii U version, for allowing different accounts to contribute to different teams)

So the explosive European support for Sonic that I was banking on actually went to Team Kirby? I... did not expect that switch in allegiances. *Headtilts* Huh.

*Has come back from repping in the 3DS FG FFA room against a (!), a , and a , and when Sudden Death came up, neither I nor the M2 were there, and somehow, the Zelda read Link's panic rolls with a fully-charged Phantom! 8O* Both me and the M2 scored 3rd place, earning a decent 6 points for Team Pikachu.

And so, Mewtwo finally makes his debut in a Conquest, and it's rather fitting that his first 2 opponents would be the duo that he squared off against in the 1st Pokemon movie. :D That I've already encountered a Mewtwo this early is certainly giving me flashbacks to the 1st few days of this most recent patch when he was first released. While Mewtwo may be by his lonesome in this Conquest, judging by the flood of M2s that occurred in those 1st few days that might be resurging, as well as the PikaZard duo's big loss against & in this type of Conquest last year, I thoroughly believe that M2 has what it takes to defy the odds and take 1st place, despite now being a DLC character with a price tag. With that fact looming over M2's head, can he overcome that hurdle and fulfill my prediction? Or will the adage, "Teams with the most people in them win Conquests," hold up?

Despite my prediction, I'll continue repping Zard the supposedly NEW worst character w/out customs despite his buffs (8D), and since I'm probably going to be facing off against many a M2 over the next few days, I mind as well declare that I am not troubled by Mewtwos as Zard, since as soon as I get in, I can quickly rack up what little damage I'll need (Thank you 9 frame DTIlt and KO-tipper FAirs~) before going for my numerous KO moves, including DThrow, the aforementioned FAir, and even Flare Blitz. As soon as I see you at around 70 to 75%, you better get ready to DI downwards & towards the stage.... >

[Splooshi Splashy]

That Team PikaZard won as much as they did on the 3DS... Something tells me the Wii U results will supply answers to that puzzle.

The 1st Place Prize was a Vampire Brawn Badge with +32 Attack and -26 Defense! This is quite possibly one of the best prizes that these Conquests have EVER rewarded! If anyone was repping Team PikaZard, perhaps now a deathless Classic 9.0 run or a Hard mode Event Match or a long Crazy Orders streak or an Intense Master Orders bout is at hand!

Oh, Mewtwo DID win, alright... May the Wii U version tell a very different story...


Wii U results:

Mewtwo won 1st place with 50% in the World, 51% in the Americas, Europe & Oceania, and 49% in Japan.
Pikachu & Charizard lost in 2nd place with 50% in the World, 49% in the Americas, Europe & Oceania, and 51% in Japan.

200g for 2nd place (I repped Team PikaZard there too.)

This was one of the closest battles in all of Conquest history, and the combined efforts of Europe, Oceania, and the Americas were what it took to BARELY tilt the outcome in Mewtwo's favor. Perhaps it was the Wii U version that folks either paid the price of or got for free via codes, Mewtwo the most.


*Has come back from repping Ludwig in the Wii U FG FFA room against a Kirby, Fox, and a Jigglypuff (!), which was a straight up aerial slugfest, and somehow came out on top with 11(?) points, despite all 3 of them being among Ludwig's worse MUs. I might upload that replay at 3 PM or so, and I'll probably call it "DefyingTheOdds!"*

*Has also come back from repping Ludwig in the 3DS FG FFA room against 2 Lil' Macs and a Jigglypuff (!), where me and the Puff pretty much ran the joint from the air and by the edges, and gimped them at ridiculously low percents, and with the numerous early KOs we racked up, I earned 16 points (8D)! I then uploaded that replay in the U.S. 3DS FG FFA section with the name "16PointConquest!"*


*Is filled with hype!* This is one of the most explosive starts to a Conquest I have ever had! That Jr is allied with Wario and the mighty Captain Falcon-- *Squees!* "Jr's gonna win another Conquest!" *Cue THIS clip at 01:02*

However, Falcon recently got a big nerf to his UAir's KO power, which might pose a problem...
I'm not sure how much of a contribution Wario will be making, but with the release of Roy Not Koopa, there HAS been an increase in Roy Yes Koopas, even though I doubt over half of them use Side B Jump Cancels regularly. >_> Still, a resurgance in Koopalings IS welcome. More Dittos for me~ 83

As for the opposition:

Green Team: For the first time in all of Conquest history, Jr will have to oppose his own dad. Considering his frequent appearances whenever I run Jr long enough in any given set, I look forward to the numerous clashes I'll be having with the Koopa King. :> At the same time, I'll have to admit that I see King Dad more often than the Koopalings out there in FG Anywhere... At least before this update.
However, King Dad's allied with Peach & Yoshi, who may not have had the greatest of Conquest records, but they definitely trouble the Koopa Prince with how long they can maintain the high ground, and Yoshi especially has basically every tool necessary to body him. What sucks for Jr is that he can't take him to non-Omega Lylat Cruise with the 3322 deck to even out the odds.

Blue Team, Puff is the most terrifying to Jr, due to the lack of a full-body-covering aerial to comfortably wall out the Puff. Luigi may not have had the best of Conquest performances, being both among the better characters and able to juggle Jr relentlessly certainly helps. At least Luigi can get outranged by Jr's disjoints. :3
While the European support may have wavored to Team Kirby, no one from that series is here to sap their Sonic support. Puff has presence (as the previous Conquest where Bowser allied with Puff against Marthcina shows), as does Sonic. Unlike DH, Jr has what it takes to handle Sonic without streneous effort and serious begging for 3222 or 3223 at walled Omegas.

*Proudly points ahead, revving the engine on his own Koopa Clown Car* Let's drive! *Cue The King of Speed from just about any iteration of Daytona USA* 8D

And the Results Are:

On the 3DS:

Cruise Control Wins with 42% in the whole World, 40% in the Americas, 40% in Europe and Oceania and 43% in Japan.
Body Blow Second with 29% in the whole World, 31% in the Americas, But 28% in Europe and Oceania and 27% in Japan.
Butt Stomp Loses with 29% in the whole World, 29% in the Americas, But 32% in Europe and Oceania and 30% in Japan.

That one conquest where I won 11 points for nearl every single fight, accumulating 89 points in total, and my team still loses 3rd in my region.

I just NOW remembered that was on Team Butt Stomp... *Promptly & vividly imagines Mario Party 10!Yoshi getting 3rd place out of 4 places-- And then Mario Kart Wii/8!Yoshi doing one of those tricks on the Kart where he sticks out his tongue and wags-- And MegaYoshi in MUGEN quickly walking with the accurate-to-MM7 style, who, for reasons unknown, doesn't wear any sort of traditional robotic body armor (at all!) like you would expect a Mega Man styled fancharacter to have--* P-Pardon me... *Brightly blushes furiously, and IMMEDIATELY runs over to the nearest restroom stall* ... *Walks out of the restroom stall a few minutes later* I'm back~ Now where was I? Oh, right:

Wii U Results:

Team Cruise Control got 1st place with 42% in the World & Japan, 41% in the Americas, and 43% in Europe & Oceania.
Team Body Blow got 2nd with 30% in the World & Americas & Japan, and 32% in Europe & Oceania.
Team Butt Stomp got 3rd with 28% in the World, 29% in the Americas, 25% in Europe & Oceania, and 26% in Japan.

Prize for 1st was a Food Lover Overalls.

Despite 's UAir KO power nerf, I'm confident that he practically carried the entire team, with -- er, more like as a mere support by comparison.

*Has come back from repping in the 3DS FG FFA room against a that snuck in well-timed Smashes, a that hung on for a long while, and a that took advantage of my aggro rushdown towards everyone else by laming it out with PK Freezes & Fires. The Bowser took 1st place, Zard took 2nd place, Lucas took 3rd, and I scored a measly 1 point with last place, despite building the 2nd most damage out of everyone (thanks Galaxian & Hydrants)*

*Cue T.T. from Diddy Kong Racing announcing that I was "Unlucky!"*

Greninja, for once, got a buff instead of a nerf, in the form of a more damaging FTilt that recovers sooner. *In B4 THIS gets nerfed* XD; Mario I believe has stayed the same (unless the official patch notes thread in the Competitive Boards now say there was a change), while Pac-Man apparently "has become a God." If he really has become one, then I'll expect him to win this Conquest, despite having a terrible track record in comparison to Mario & Greninja, both of whom I see more often in FG Anywhere than Pac-Man, especially Mario with DThrow --> UTilts all day.

While I believe Mario & Greninja will be jockeying for 1st place, I'll keep repping Pac-Man, hoping for his Trampoline & Hydrant exploits to generate an increase in Pac-Men over the next week (and for someone like Abadango to make a splash at CEO this weekend).

 

[Jaycee_023]

I was sad to see my boy Bowser come in on the losing team. Prediction: Mario wins in a landslide!

You sound like the kind of guy who makes really awesome videos.

Captain Falcon carries the team in every conquest! Yet the prize is for Wario. Even though team Body Blow has three very popular characters in their own right, it's how many people Pick the character vs how many people Win as the character: P vs W
Body Blow has high P, but Captain Falcon has both higher P and higher W. Even though I played all 3 with high W, Butt Stomp was mostly carried by Bowser in the P department but over all had a high W ratio. Not high enough to stop either other team.

In this case, while Greninja's P comes from Pokemon X and Y, his W only comes from players who know how to strategically use him. PacMan has the relative least P out of the 3 but takes less relative skill to master than Greninja.
Mario...Being Mario naturally has the highest P out of any of these and though I onddly can't remember the last time I played against a Mario, he's gonna win this Conquest by sheer number of P.

 

[Splooshi Splashy]

I wish I actually do make fantastic vids. Alas, I do not, due to not having the equipment necessary to do so. If I did, I'd certainly be a lively host, being as hype as many a commentator for numerous fighting game streams (like these guys (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q6s5Gy2QYDQ), especially at 17:30 when Final Zone 2 comes on and they're cheerfully suggesting that those players should "lame it out" (BTW, Mystery Game Tournaments are among my absolute favorite kinds of tournaments out of them all, since there's no telling what games are going to show up at any point. It could be infamously bad games like Shaq-Fu, Japan-only wackiness like Chou Aniki, or thought-was-lost-to-time goodies like Rage of the Dragons for Neo Geo)), having many a cited BGM quietly in the background (likely from the SNES era, including Japan-only games we in Amurica NEVER got, like Wagyan Paradise), and possibly having comedic fancharacters that are parodies of certain archetypes out there in Fiction Land (one of those fancharacters would certainly be a Yoshi that parodies the odd perception of Yoshi as a "fanservicey" character, as the opening to my last post was poking at (I swear, ever since Kart Wii, Yoshi's been more eager to show off his tail to us the audience... especially in Party 9 when you won a whole Board round as him...)).

Considering Falcon's track record thus far and the sheer frequency of him in FG Anywhere, it actually would be a good idea to expect him to be a leading contributor for any team he's on. His UAir KO power nerf is not a problem from him, considering how much his team won by. I DO wonder if he'd keep his large player & win base if he got nerfed to the point of being like his Brawl self.... Personally, I'm hoping that doesn't happen, for I sincerely enjoy fighting (as) Falcon (no matter who I am whenever he shows up) and watching him in high-level competitive play, and it'd be a shame for such a good & hype rushdown driver to be nerfed to that extent.

Agreed with Bowser being the most frequent member of Team Butt Stomp during the last Conquest. His massive KO power off of a bunch of his moves makes him a popular pick for FG FFA. He's also someone I expect to see the most whenever I rep the Koopalings long enough in any room during any given session (due to the sheer frequency of the Jr VS Bowser MU, I'm definitely comfortable with being Jr in that MU, to the point where I believe Jr has the edge in it).

It's one thing to pick a character, it's a whole 'nother thing to win as that character. In terms of frequency, from most to least, it's Mario, then Greninja, then Pac-Man. However, in terms of wins, from most to least, it's probably Mario, then Pac-Man, and then Greninja. Coincidentally, that wins lineup I've stated can also be considered the complexity lineup, with Mario being the least complex. Pac-Man may have some pretty technical advanced maneuvers (ex. Fruit Charge cancelling into any other B move), but he doesn't demand as much execution or juggle confirmations as Greninja does. Pac-Man also commands more stage presence in any room he's in than Greninja and possibly Mario, due to his Hydrant seemingly making ERRYONE flock to it & you. While I'd rather have my opponents between me & the Hydrant for makeshift corner pins, errybody else would rather send it flying.

Judging with that logic and the other posts thus far, the case for Mario winning this is looking pretty strong, especially with his positive doubles representation at CEO as of the making of this post. While I'm hoping Pac-Man can at least take 2nd place, the frequency of Greninja players might put him in 2nd place instead.

 

[FullMoon]

I'm fairly sure either Mario or Greninja are going to win this conquest. Greninja has shown to be able to win quite often considering he won a conquest vs Sheik once.

 

[TaRtOoN-Hand94]

And the Results Are:

On the 3DS:

F.LU.D.D. Wins with 53% in the whole World, 52% in the Americas, 45% in Europe and Oceania and 56% in Japan.
Hydro Pump Second with 28% in the whole World, 27% in the Americas, 37% in Europe and Oceania and 28% in Japan.
Fire Hydrant Loses with 19% in the whole World, 21% in the Americas, 18% in Europe and Oceania and 16% in Japan.

Alas another 3rd place win for my conquest team.

got 3rd place with 21% in the World, 22% in the Americas, 19% in Europe & Oceania, and 17% in Japan.

Prize for 3rd is 100g

Well, what can I say? We've all called this one. *Cheerfully shrugs like the Magician from Magical Drop 3 whenever you clear any 3+ jewels*

*Has come back from repping "Boney Face"-- *Cue THIS! >8D* in the 3DS FG FFA room against a , , and another . The other took 1st place, took 2nd, and I tied with and scored 5 points, due to me going for too many risky YOLO strats like shorthop PK Freezes and long-time edgeguard hangouts*

*Cue "Third Strike" by INFINITE (aka the Extended version of the Main Opening Theme for SF3:3S*
Our DARLING Lucas, in a Conquest already!? With Mewtwo & Ness on his side as well!? Say it ain't so! When & be showing up?

As strong of a team carrier as you have proven multiple times over, Captain Falcon, this may be one Conquest where you'll have to yield to the DLC Hype Train that are Mewtwo & Lucas! Oh, and... Ness, I suppose. I don't see WFT & DK being able to pull their weight enough to help you out enough, Falcon, despite DK's throws getting buffed.

As much as I would love to see Team Brains have some presence here, I'm afraid they're going to get heavily overshadowed by the other two teams. 'Tis a shame, 'cus Palutena got a lil' buff to her UTilt, Robin's Wind Book Ender got a lil' nerf (I think it can be seen as one), and Zelda got big buffs this side of Zard.

"Gee, I sure hope I can find Boney while I'm repping Boney Face Lucas this week~"
For me, this week gon' be "Street Mutha y'all, it's Street Mutha Three": Fight For Existence! Also featuring Twelve-- er, Mewtwo. XD;

*Cue "Let's Get It On" by INFINITE (aka the Extended version of the Character Select Theme for SF3:3S*

Why the hell isn't Ryu in team Brawn but WFT is.

Team ESP got 1st place with 43% in the World & Japan, 44% in the Americas, and 37% in Europe & Oceania.
Prize for 1st is a Smash Ball Clinger Protection Badge.

*Cue the Stage Results Theme from SF3:3S* "Victory, glory, and honor... Those ideals don't excite me a bit." - Remy, SF3:3S I've ALWAYS wanted to use that line somewhere. XD;
Anyways, the DLC Hype Train has indeed managed to defeat even the mighty Captain Falcon, like I suspected that they would! With this 2nd victory for the DLC, could this be the beginning of their Era?

"NEXT MATCH!" - 3S Announcer

*Has come back from repping in the 3DS FG FFA room against a , , and , and managed to make it to SUDDEN DEATH against the Shulk, who managed to read my Tatsu frame trap attempt with a surprisingly far-reaching OoS Grab --> Throw FTW, and scored 8 points in 2nd place* 'Tis a pretty good start for this Conquest, if you ask me.

*Cue Good Fighter (2nd Edit) from SF3: 2nd Impact*

RIght as I was wondering when Ryu would show up, here he comes now! I certainly never thought he'd be here in Sm4sh, but man OH MAN was I proven wrong, and my absolute biggest concern being the lack of actual combos is NOT an issue AT ALL, because Weak DTilt --> Strong DTilt --> True Tatsumaki actually WORKS! The GAME ITSELF when you beat Classic mode with Ryu SHOWS you this-- *Flashbacks to the Genesis Yu Yu Hakusho fighter showing you awesome combos into Desperation Moves if you were to beat the solo arcade mode on the hardest difficulty level withOUT continuing even once* In fact, Weak/Strong DTilt/UTilt --> B Button Special are genuine combos that-- *Squees loudly!* Now if only Ryu's aerials auto-cancelled like they do in all parts of his own series, even the EX series.... *Goes & fires up 2I and does Jumping HK --> Standing HP --> Shoryuken (drumming all 3 punch buttons, starting with LP) --> SA3 (Denjin Hadouken) (making sure to drum all 3 buttons for 6 chances to confirm the super, and also to hold a punch button while spinning the stick) --> Repeat from Jumping HP, due to fully charged Denjin stunning the opponent in 1 go*

Anyways, I know not what happened to in this patch, but definitely got considerably buffed. His Jab, NAir, and FTilt have all gotten less endlag, and both Jab & FTilt do more damage now. Despite the infamy of Luigi's DThrow --> FAir x?, he's not had a good track record, and neither has MK, despite once being on Team Kirby a few weeks back, though this might be his best chance to make it happen, since he's got more multi-hit moves to reliably (panic) disrespect Ryu's Focus Attack with than Luigi does.

*Cue Good Fighter [Bliriant Mix] from the SF3: New Generation Original Arranged Album*

I'm certain that the World Warrior will be taking this Conquest by storm! May the DLC Hype Train continue on rails! >:D
