No-Flinch Smasher's effect will be fun to experiment with. I think this will be useful for intercepting attempted jump-ins or string-breaking aerials, like the plumbers' nairs. The effect is still risky: strong enough attacks will still launch you past your armor, and you take more damage while charging your smash attacks.

It's a shame that G&W can't take advantage of this prize, to compliment the partial invincibility his up-smash has already, though it's probably for the better Falcon won, as suits can be used by multiple fighters; watch batteries and masks can only be used by G&W and MK respectively.

The Science vs Nature match-up will be close, I think. Going to side with the scientists because I see all 3 on that team fairly often; I only see Donkey Kong commonly out of his squad, and Duck Hunt is on a losing streak for Conquests (also, after I came to my decision, the first conquest game I played, had 2 of Samus and a ROB with me as Mega Man, heh).

edit: I'm currently in For Glory Hell on Smash for 3DS (again), so RIP my contributions there for a while (not permanently, I hope!)

Wow, those were some close results. Hooray for science! The prize for first place is an Air Pinata Zapper (+89 attack, -1 defense). Ironically Duck Hunt can use this prize, too.

Going to side with Team Link for this week's conquest. I use none of the eligible fighters regularly, but Ness seems to have the highest potential for the earlier kills with PK Thunder 2 and back-throw.

[BlakDragon]

This is interesting, a rerun of a past Conquest theme, but this time features 4 DLC fighters (and a team switch by Lucario for some reason).

Despite the results from CI round 1 (Team Shulk won on Wii U while Team Little Mac won on 3DS) I'm gonna side with Splooshi and pick Team Lucina for both versions, I think. A lot has changed since May 2015 (namely those attractive buffs to Marth and Lucina), blue team has one more member than the competition, and - based on the Fighting Styles conquest a while back - Marth and Corrin have proven to be more popular than Shulk and Roy.

Plus my Corrin's been hot as of late. Time to Side B/f-smash all the guys for kills at 60. >=)

[BlakDragon]

Trade-Off Speedster should be a fun experiment. I like to pair this effect up with anti-leap/lo-jump, so I don't wind up leaving myself open with short-hops that go too high.

I think I'll play this week safe and contribute to 2 different teams with my Smash games. In previous bouts of Mega Man vs Villager (with other fighters thrown in), Mega Man was victorious each time, though I can't be too sure about this week as trends can change, and neither of them seem like fighters with large playerbases like Falcon or Ganondorf, imo.

One of these days a Conquest theme should feature some of the least popular fighters, that way folks like WFT actually stand a chance.

Light vs Dark
Red Team: Light Team

[BlakDragon]

My safe play paid off; I won the Lip's Stick Shoes (+79 speed, -30 attack) on the 3DS version. I wish I had better Item Hitter/Shooter badges to combine this with. Folks really appreciate Villager's safety in his projectiles I guess, that guy steals games if left unchecked.

Light vs Dark was a past Conquest from late 2014; Team Dark won convincingly, but differences include the joining of Dr. Mario, Bayonetta, and some balance changes (read: Dark Pit's Side B).

With Ganondorf on Team Dark, I'm going to let him carry us to victory (again) while I steal games with Mr. Game & Watch. =)

 

[TaRtOoN-Hand94]

I forgot to put this down earlier but Team Light happens to be made up of 4 mains of mine: ROB, Pit, Wii Fit Trainer, and my preferred Mario, Dr. Mario (the Tornado makes all the difference).
vs Dark Pit (why color him dark and edgy when you can pick one that Acts edgy too) Mr. Game & Watch (another main of mine) Ganondorf, for Captain Falcon mains who want to make you Feel bad for getting styled on, and DLC, Bayonetta. If you make a drinking game out of people playing DLC, you'll be super smashed bro.

 

[TaRtOoN-Hand94]

And the Results Are:

On the 3DS:

Light vs Dark: October 21st October 28th.

Dark Team Wins with 74% in the whole World, 71% in the Americas, 73% in Europe and Oceania, and 76% in Asia.
Light Team Loses with 26% the whole World, 29% in the Americas, 27% in Europe and Oceania and 24% in Asia.

[BlakDragon]

I don't play (Dark) Pit at all, but I'm sure they'll appreciate the added jump height to aid their recovery, edgeguarding, and aerial combo extensions. Those factors immediately come to mind whenever anybody is granted higher jumps.

This is another really tough call, and it's not made easier by yet another stay in For Glory Hell 3DS (I didn't even do anything bad this time! No manual disconnections, which I only do myself if a match is really laggy and I don't feel like playing that out, happened prior to my sentence) =/ Almost everyone is at least a good deal popular!

I'm picking Team Fire Emblem on Wii U because Corrin is awesome, and I'll try to contribute to Team Pokemon with Mewtwo on 3DS, although the 1-on-1 mode is my only option right now. Splooshi raised a fine reason for their fans to rally in anticipation of their upcoming games, & it's all the more likely due to them releasing on the same platform.

update: My stealth ban was lifted tonight =) Time to earn a bunch of points for Team Pokemon!

Thanks, Corrin! The grand prize this time is an Auto-Healer Sword (48 attack, -30 defense); I contributed 111 points this time, I think that's the most I've given to a Conquest so far! Taking longer to get KOed is always a good thing.

As for this one, I'll be playing it safe once again and picking two separate sides; I'll use Luigi on 3DS and Bayonetta on Wii U, it's about time for me to perform what was advertised in her official character breakdown segment and steal all the kills with Bullet Arts. :^)

By the way, I uploaded a Mii Fighter with the prize and 2 other badges I think work together well; I like to do this every time we're awarded something that Mii Fighters can use, so the losing teams get some usage out of the thing they missed out on. His name's Riigener8, uploaded by Matt (sporting an afro) from the US.

[BlakDragon]

Once again, my safe play paid off. The grand prize on 3DS is the Smash Ball Attractor Overalls (73 defense, -31 speed). This is a more situational bonus effect as it hinges on smash balls being enabled for play, but that's still an inexpensive, hardy defense boost! We take those.

That likely means the prize on Wii U was the Smash Ball Attractor Jacket, since the spacies won there. Too bad I missed out on that, that prize is usable by Mii Fighters!

DST's end thew me off, it took me last night to realize they don't actually end at 2AM anymore, but an hour earlier instead. Now I'll have to get up even earlier to keep my optimal point output up...

As for Generation Z, I think green team has this free. The other teams have members that are lacking in popularity, but I see all of green team's members quite frequently. Time to go to work again, Corrin!

By the way, it's gotten to the point where I have enough Conquest prizes to create character loadouts containing nothing BUT conquest prizes. Delicious stat gains.

Don't feel obligated to post something if it more or less sends the same message as Splooshi's if he got to it first, but please stick around for your personal Conquest reports Among the 3 of us we're guaranteed to at least find out what the grand prize is each week, provided we're contributing to different teams.

I'm actually considering quitting this and leaving it up entirely to Splooshy's capable hands.
I mean, he's doing a better job at this than me anyway, right?

You sure you want to do that? I don't entirely know what's been going on with you lately, given how much I've been seriously concentrating on NaNoWriMo & my ambitiously-in-perpetual-development (fan)fic series, Shimmering Eyes (I've been using NaNoWriMo to intensely focus on it), but if there's been serious things going down in your personal life that have been really troubling you, then I can surely understand this sudden desire to leave this to me (and possibly anyone else who wants to volunteer, who I'll welcome, btw).

If that's the case, then I have no intention of stopping you from quitting this to try to get that sorted out, for that's more important than this Thread, which I intend to continue participating in, & thus, I'll be holding this down for you. It IS your choice, after all, whether or not you want to keep on doing this. I'll leave the 3DS side of the results alone for now, just in case you do stick around.

I DO, however, want to let you know that should you really decide to leave this to me (& whoever else decides to volunteer, who again, I'll welcome), you will be missed, despite how little I've been clicking the Like button on your posts here. You've been at this for at least a whole year & a half, ever since I've shown up here, & I must say, it's been a great experience here thus far, and I definitely appreciate the time we've shared here in this Thread, up to this point. I wish you the best of luck in whichever decision you pick, as well as handling whatever RL issues are weighing you down, if any.

Self-RP Scene Tease Count in Relation to Previewing Shimmering Eyes in Some Way: 12 Weeks So Far (Harvest November / National Novel Writing Month is halfway over now!! It's Day 18 for me, and while my NaNoWriMo performance may have gotten even more rockier than anticipated, my songwriting performance, thankfully, has been going even more wondrously than expected (3 songs in 1 week, with a 4th on the way?! 8D)~!)

 

[BlakDragon]

It's been awhile since we've been awarded a badge every fighter can use. This is a nice attack buff with minimal stat cost, but that decreased ledge grabbing range is going to haunt someone somewhere. It's best to pair this with some speed buff of some kind, to aid your recovery imo.

With Pokemon Sun/Moon out over here, I'm going to be primarily playing that but I'm still entirely willing to stay on that Conquest grind. It's only 6 minutes per session to contribute, after all.

Time to pick the team Ganondorf's in! Roy, you're no Corrin, but you'll have to do.

It's Day 25 for me, and while my hopes of being able to meet the 50k word floor by the end of this month are looking rather bleak to me, the amount of overall progress I've been making on the ambitiously-in-perpetual-development (fan)fic series throughout the month has been astounding! While my songwriting performance has slowed down this week, advancements everywhere else have been speeding up in exchange.)

 

[BlakDragon]

Cool prize! Quick Batter's one of the mainstay effects on successful Crazy Orders loadouts (the others being Home Run Bat and Vampire or KO Healer) AFAIK. Time to amend mine with this goodie here. =)

Yikes, this round will arguably be the toughest challenge for Falcon. If one were to ask me who was the next most popular fighter, I would probably pick Bowser. He was the go-to bruiser in the early 3DS era, which is why I'm picking his side on the 3DS version. I see a good deal of King Dedede as well. Going to pick Team Falcon for Wii U to be safe. Thank goodness Samus is on his team; I don't like playing as Falcon, he's much more fun to beat up.

Self-RP Scene Tease Count in Relation to Previewing Shimmering Eyes in Some Way: 14 Weeks So Far (Harvest November / National Novel Writing Month is FINALLY OVER now!! While it IS true that I didn't meet the 50k word floor AGAIN for what is perhaps the 9th or 10th year I've been participating in NaNoWriMo, I can AT LEAST say that I've written up over 10+ short songs worth of lyrics during that month (my longest one clocking in at a minute & 10 seconds!), that I CAN use as potential Insert/Image/Character/etc. Songs to use at certain points within SE~ I've also gotten plenty of potential characters,concepts, and even whole arcs, among other aspects, under production, so it's not JUST been songwriting that has been happening during Harvest November~ ;D)

 

[BlakDragon]

Well dang, Team Falcon won dominantly on both versions. This is surely a reminder to never bet against Falcon if Bowser of all people can't come close to those numbers. Sheesh!

Good thing I sided with him on Wii U; the prize is the Double-Jump Drag Gloves (+90 attack, -2 defense) I'm not fond of lowering my double-jump as I need that to recover; however, this will be useful for improving on my Smash Run loadouts (in which I tack on a critical hitter effect & as much power as possible without lowering my defense TOO much).

I have Corrin this week again, so I'll be using her on both versions. I'm a little worried that Dark Pit's popularity may be enough to overtake that of Ryu's and Corrin's (folks are in love with that great Side B of his), but at the same time I don't really care if his team wins; I don't like playing as any of the KI crew, I like beating them up more (just like Falcon!) I'll do everything I can to make sure I out-rank them every time we face off.

 

[Nathan Richardson]

With the amount of bayo lovers I'm pretty sure team high heels has this one. Though I won't deny Corrin is popular too.

 

[SteadyDisciple]

I agree with Splooshi on this one. Bayo is popular enough to single-handedly carry team high heels past sandals, but Corrin has only slightly less use, and Ryu should more than make up the difference for team barefoot who only have one deadweight character (Wii Fit Trainer) as opposed to two (Rosaluma and Peach)

 

[Splooshi Splashy]

Wow, that's the most activity I've seen in this Thread in months, and I must say, it was awesome to see that much here, given how rare that is to see nowadays. Thanks for making those posts readers. :D

On a bit of a serious maintenance/staffing note, I'm really wanting to either post the unreported 3DS results for the last 3 weeks myself, or allow a volunteer to take TaRtOoN-Hand94's place (Given your consistent activity over the last 2 months & a few weeks, BlakDragon, I'd be happy to let you become that volunteer, if you want to. You don't have to, and it's OK if you don't, but I DO want to let you know that I want such an opening to BE available, and I'd also be OK with you picking either the 3DS or the Wii U side of the Results to report here, for I'm open to doing either one.), since he hasn't said a word here in 3 weeks, and the idea of unreported data lying around bugs the thorough logger in me.

I'm personally going to skip out on reporting the 3DS Results for one more week before possibly rashly making such a decision, since I want to allow a whole month for TaRtOoN to respond here on whether or not he really IS going to leave this to me. Whether or not you want to take up that mantle, starting this week, is up to you, BlakDragon (and/or possibly whoever else wants to step up), and while I may not know if Tartoon's OK with it, I myself would surely welcome it.

2nd: Team (who's my 3rd main, btw~)

3rd: Team (This is the only guess I'm certain on. The other 2 above are a toss-up, for I WANT to say that Team Ryu's going to be 1st, due to the only "Loads" on THAT team being Pac & my own 2nd main, ....)

[SteadyDisciple]

I dunno Splooshi, I think you're way off on this one. If I had to guess...

#1 = Team : You just cannot underestimate the popularity of and . On top of that, while , , and may not be great in conquest, all three get a decent amount of representation and probably won't be dragging anyone down, leaving only as a true liability.

#2 = Team : As stated above, and are both incredible boons to a conquest team, both almost as popular as the blue team's star players. If it was just the best of each team included I might give it to Green, but has grown less and less common over time, and , , and are all just terrible at this.

#3 = Team : I feel like Red being 3rd is a no brainer. and are both liabilities, plain and simple. , , and are average at best, similar to the middle-ground characters on Blue. However, while both the other teams have a couple of star characters to earn them a ton of points, Red has . He's definitely good, but he's out of his league here.


Of course, I'm basing my guesses purely on character usage, not on past conquest wins, so some of the characters with crazy kill power like and could surprise me. In any case, I'll be logging points for Blue team, with 6 points so far as on Wii U.

 

[BlakDragon]

The following results are pulled from the 3DS version.

The Generation Z Conquest winner is:
Team 2010-2016 (Greninja, Robin, Shulk, Dark Pit, Lucina, Corrin) with 40% worldwide, in Europe, Oceania, Asia, and 38% in the Americas.
Team 2005-2009 (Ike, Rosalina & Luma, Lucario, Wii Fit Trainer, Lucas, Bayonetta) is second with 33% worldwide and in the Americas, 32% in Europe and Oceania, and 34% in Asia.
Team 2001-2004 (Zero Suit Samus, Bowser Jr, Toon Link, Villager, Olimar, Roy) trails with 27% worldwide, 29% in the Americas, 28% in Europe/Oceania, and 26% in Asia.

The Melee Rookies Conquest winner is:
Team Roy (w/ Peach, Zelda, and Ganondorf) with 43% worldwide, 39% in the Americas, Europe, Oceania, and 47% in Asia.
Team Sheik (w/ Marth, Dr. Mario, and Mewtwo) is second with 35% worldwide, 37% in the Americas, Europe, Oceania, and 32% in Asia.
Team Falco (w/ Bowser and Mr. Game & Watch) trails with 22% worldwide, 24% in the Americas, Europe, Oceania, and 21% in Asia.

The My Way or the Highway Conquest winner is:
Team Bounty Hunters (Captain Falcon, Samus, Zero Suit Samus) with 55% worldwide, 52% in the Americas, 51% in Europe/Oceania, and 57% in Asia.
Team Selfish Kings (Bowser, Bowser Jr, King Dedede) is second with 27% worldwide, in America, Asia, and 30% in Europe/Oceania.
Team Space Pilots (Olimar, Fox, Falco) trails with 18% worldwide, 21% in the Americas, 19% in Europe/Oceania, and 16% in Asia.

The Best Feet Forward Conquest winner is:
Team Barefoot (Wii Fit Trainer, Ryu, Corrin) with 40% worldwide and in the Americas, 35% in Europe/Oceania, and 39% in Asia.
Team Sandals (Palutena, Pit, Dark Pit) comes second with 33% worldwide, 29% in the Americas, 35% in Europe/Oceania, and 36% in Asia.
Team High Heels (Peach, Rosalina & Luma, Bayonetta) trails with 27% worldwide, 31% in the Americas, 30% in Europe/Oceania, and 25% in Asia.

As for the Speed Walker Clothes prize, I think Ryu gets the most usage out of this one. He likes to press his advantage with his numerous tilts, and being able to do so with faster walk speed is something I'm sure he appreciates greatly.

For now, I do not mind posting the 3DS version's future Conquest results in this thread, so that's what I'll do instead of Tartoon, unless he objects. =)

 

[TaRtOoN-Hand94]

Guess whose back from his "break!" Sorry to keep you waiting.

And the Results Are:

On the 3DS:

Noobs: December 9th December 16th

Team Cloud Wins with 42% in the whole World, 44% in the Americas, 42% in Europe and Oceania and 41% in Asia.
Team Corin Second with 33% in the whole World,32% in the Americas, 32% in Europe and Oceania and 34% in Asia.
Team Ryu Loses with 25% in the whole World, 24% in the Americas, 26% in Europe and Oceania and 25% in Asia.

My prize was 1000 Gold for 55 points to Team Ryu.
Despite hitting an all time new personal record for points contributed to a single conquest match at 15 points as Shulk, we still lost 3rd place behind Team Range DLC and Team 2 DLC.
------------------------------------

New Conquest!
December 16th December 23rd
Limitless Uses
Red Team: Beams & Burners
Blue Team: Swords & Tomes
Green Team: Wario Waft
Oh the conflict of having two opposing mains in a conquest. So we meet again.
Well just because I have more recorded victories as R.O.B. I'll be representing Wario Waft this week.

Actually now that I'm back I would like to get a little more involved with the conquest process than I was before.
All this time I've been only reporting the results of the 3DS version because it's the only one I have. The poor sportsmanship of my opponents online as well as the lengthy string of conquest losses over the last few months drove me to want to quit the mode. Notice how many of my posts only have 1000 Gold as the prize...
Well now I see that there's at least 3 of us around here with the 3DS version, we can collaborate, each pick a different team and find out what the true prizes are for each week!

 

[Splooshi Splashy]

Thank you so much BlakDragon for providing this Thread with the previously unreported 3DS results for the last month's worth of Conquests. I was about to do that this week myself, until you came in, so now with all that reported, I can instead go straight to this week's....

Well, ALMOST! Welcome back, Tartoon! 8D
I was getting worried that your out-of-the-blue departure from here was going to be permanent, since almost an entire month went by here without a peep from you, so I reached out the way I did last week with that expectation in mind. I'm very glad I waited 1 more week before following through with what I dubbed as a rash decision, for your timing to return NOW was impeccably clutch, alarming me as much as your sudden departure did. ;O

(We now return you to your Regularly Scheduled Programming.)
Wii U Results:
Team got 3rd w/ 24% in the World, Americas, Europe & Oceania, and Japan. Points earned with Dalmation

on 3DS WAS 3, but it's really 0, due to....

Team got 1st w/ 24% in the World, 22% in the Americas, 25% in Europe & Oceania, & 27% in Japan.

Team got 2nd w/ 44% in the World, 45% in the Americas, 42% in Europe, Oceania, & 46% in Japan. Points earned with were 24 points in 5 bouts on Wii U, & it would've been 30 points in 4 bouts on 3DS, were it not for the 3 points from repping Dalmation

, so in reality, it's 27 points in 5 bouts on 3DS, since 3 is subtracted from 30.

Spoils for 2nd on 3DS & Wii U:

WOW, SteadyDisciple, you absolutely nailed every spot that week! 8O

I was basing my predictions for that week (& seemingly every other one, including this week's new Conquest, for that matter) on previous Conquest wins, since I've been consistently reporting the Wii U side of these Conquests for a whole year & a half so far. Given how right you were, perhaps character usage IS worth considering, alongside historical precedence. In fact, predicting who's taking 2nd place in this week's new Conquest MIGHT be aided by that....

(Since Tartoon's back, Splooshi's skipping the fancy colored spheal he did during his absence, though before this post continues onwards as per the norm, Splooshi feels it apt to point this little detail out, through me: The name of this week's Conquest is apparently Limited Uses....)


Points Earned So Far: 4 points on 3DS & 6 points on Wii U, both w/ Green Mage , who I'll be repping for this week~

(Silly Splooshi, there's no such THING as a Green Mage! Why do you insist on calling him one?)

<RL Me> Because maybe someday, there WILL be Green Mages?

(HEH, whatever you say, Splooshi. Whatehhhver you say~)


Place Predictions for both Wii U & 3DS:
1st: (I'm CERTAIN you're taking 1st, which is why I'm repping YOU this week, as per the usual, which is "selling out" to whoever I think is going to take 1st place, but like in the days of MVC2, when Justin Wong reigned supreme, the bigger question to me is who's taking 2nd place?)

Self-RP Scene Tease Count in Relation to Previewing Shimmering Eyes in Some Way: 16 Weeks So Far

There IS some breaking news I've found out in the Wii U's Notifications tonight, regarding the future state of Conquests, which I'll share here, as it's exactly stated in-game:

Notification Regarding Re-hosted Conquests:
"Popular Conquests from the past will be held again, starting January 2017.
Also, it will be easier to obtain Custom Parts as prizes!
Join the fun!"

Now with screencap proof, courtesy of Source Gaming:
https://twitter.com/AllSourceGaming/status/809762287296753664

Which ones from perhaps the very beginning of the 3DS release will make a resurgence then?

Easier to obtain Custom Parts, eh? I wonder how they'll do that....

Lower the minimum amount of points needed to qualify for the Custom Part prize from 21 to whatever number that may be?

Have 2nd Place or even 3rd Place Team Supporters also be awarded with Custom Part prizes like what happened during certain Conquests in the past?

Reduce the 16 hour wait time between battles counting towards a side, which can mean more opportunities to contribute points to a side?

Some other possibility that I can't seem to think of, as of the making of this post? :o

 

[SteadyDisciple]

LAST WEEK: Wait, did I actually do a thing and help catalogue rewards? Cool! Ahem, anyways...

Reward for 1st on the Wii U with 30 points:
Risky Respawner Sword (+88 Attack, -3 Defense, No respawn Invincibility.)

THIS WEEK: I think Splooshi hit the nail on the head with this one.

#1 = Team Swords & Tomes: No contest here. is WAY more popular than either of the other two characters.

#2 = Team Wario Waft: An incredibly close call between second and third, being exactly tied on 1v1 representations currently. however, with some help from data I have yet to release, I'm giving the slight edge here.

#3 = Team Beams & Burners: Again, a VERY tight race for second, but I'm inclined to put at a small disadvantage.

I can't state enough how close it is between and , second is anyone's game. should run away with first, though, to the point that he might even get more than the other two combined. I'm so sure of this, I'm not even going to represent anyone this week, since someone already has The Tactician Magician covered and I don't play any of these characters.
