Truth be told


Gonna be real with ya, but the sooner we know everyone, do you think everyone here is gonna stick around for a long period of time? I know a handful of people are just hanging around until the ride's over and then planning on bouncing.


I'm fine waiting it out, since I enjoy the sense of community we've built here, and know full well there's a high likelihood that that'll be over when the last 2 come out and the DLC ends.
This. Honestly, this.

I was there for Smash Wii U ending. Like...The site pretty much died, lol. Very, very, very few people stayed: It was mostly Project M custom content folks when that was the new hotness and competitive Smash 4 peeps, and lemme tell ya, it was a super small and inactive crowd.

Trust me...Appreciate what we have now, folks, 'cause a lot of us will probably be partin' ways come September/October.

Honestly, I have to give credit where credit is due for Nintendo in that very few of the DLC characters this time really leaked, and usually if they do, it's at a time where they were going to release anyway.

:ultpiranha: Leaked, but no one believed it.

:ultjoker: Did not leak.

:ulthero: Leaked, thanks code.

:ultbanjokazooie: Leaked, thanks Shinobi.

:ult_terry: Leaked, but had Nintendo not ****ed up, he probably wouldn't have.

:ultbyleth: Leaked, but only like, 5 minutes before their presentation.

:ultminmin Leaked, like a day before her presentation via a coded message from Imran.

:ultsteve: Leaked, like 5 minutes before his presentation.

:ultpyra: Did not leak.
And :ultsephiroth:?

It’s already way down from the base game days, as well.

Of course I wanna know who’s next ASAP, but I also wanna cherish this time we’re all together.

So I guess now's the time I answer the question nobody's ever asked me: why did I come to this site.

I'm a complete nerd, but I don't really have anyone I can completely "nerd out" to. While I'm aware black nerds exist, I've gotten picked on a lot for my nerdy habits and was picked on for not fitting the stereotypical mold of a black dude and as a result, and as a result I turned to Miiverse as a safe space so I wouldn't be made fun of anymore.

And then Miiverse shut down. And now I'm here.

Real talk man, I joke about wanting it to end, but I'm both looking forward to it and dreading it. This place feels...Safer, than most alternatives, and most of y'all are pretty chill too. I'm gonna be sad when it ends up going into hibernation mode again.

Truth be told...This might be my last speculation rodeo. I dunno what the future has for me as I'm progressing through my life and figuring out what I wanna do, and especially now that I've entered the workforce and have a lot less free time, I dunno if I'll do speculation again in 5 or so years when Smash 6 happens. Mostly because

A: I dunno if they're ever gonna get me to care about a Smash as much as I do this one when "Everyone is Here!" is almost certainly not coming back.

B: I dunno what my life will look like by then or what I'll be doing.

C: This speculation stuff can actually get pretty tiring, man.

But for right now...I'm enjoyin' this community. Y'all are alright.

I’m here cuz I missed Smash 4 speculation, thought it sounded fun, and figured I’d join.

I was wrong.

But you guys are cool so I’m still around.

OK,
osby osby , Guh-Huzzah! Guh-Huzzah!
here's the I guess-not-really-final-report-for-now, since I can't try out the new boss fight atm.

Still, let's try to end on a positive note here....somewhat

Today, I faced the last & ultimate challenge this game had left...killing 100 Squizzward,s nah for real, beating PerfectHeart.

Now, with a few rare exception, none of the superbosses before have been a real challenge to me. Me knowing some stuff about them aside, debuff on them & buff on my party really made those fight easier the longer they went. The more equipement/skilles/powerful I got, the less I had to worry about anything this game could throw at me, I had the money to afford alot really goood items, and overall, I knew the battle system like the back of my hand.

Then this girl come out and is like "hold the single **** I have for you" and kicked the **** out of my ass for hours.

This boss is basically anti-cheese, at first it lure you in a false sense of security, her attack sare really powerful at first glance (she can remove ALL of your juice, remove ALL of your heart beside 1 heart as a act of mercy, or steal your hearts/juice for herself, she also has AoE attack that make everyone happy and make her sad, tho that last one can be good if you change your emotion to angry), but your usual strats can still work if you're prepared well enough. Then her second phase start and anything you knew about her or how to deal with her fellow bosses mean basically nothing. That debuff-happy-flex-coffee Kel strat? It's still broken at first damage wise, but once you deal enough damages to her in her first phase, she regain all of her health, remove all the debuff/emotions you dealt and basically spam 1 deadly attack for the rest of the fight.

That attack being a laser that:

-Attack your entire party for MASSIVE DAMAGES
-Change randomely your emotions, meaning any emotions strats you have is out of the window (will explain more later)
-Is very if not at all affected by attack debuff or Hero Gator Aid

The last mean you WILL always be on the edge of death all times. Meaning you're basically forced to heal every turn once or usually twice in 1 turn or else you can say goodbye to victory. Buying lots of Whole Chicken & having some Whole Pizza are basically necessary. Having items that restore your party juice is also necessary, as you will have to use your strongest attack for this fight, as well the fact due to the emotions change gimmick. Your juice will lower sooner or later even if you don't use your skills. So be VERY AWARE of your party at all time.

Her laser attack changing emotions at random also mean that you should NEVER change her emotions. As it render her laser attack basically a 1/3 chance of instant killing you due to the laser changing your emotion to something you're weak against her. Once she hit 2nd phase, leave her neutral state, that's all.

Two of your party member will be healing all the time via items, while the other two will be dealing damages/restore juice here and there/inflict debuff where they can. Remember, all of her debuff are gone here. Emotions will make you slower/faster/weaker/stronger, but it's still very important you at the very least lower her defense & speed as fast as possible. Any small advantage you can get here is very important to take at first chance. Spamming Red Hand/Beatdown with Omori/Aubrey is the best way to go damages wise, especially if you can afford Kel to use Tickles for guaranted Critical Hit. Tho it be for very rare occassion, as Kel being the fastest & first to act mean he probably become your first chicken guy.

Note too that since she spam her laser attack, your energy gauge will almost always be full. Meaning you can spam follow-up attack that work best for you. For me, Aubrey follow-up attack with a Hero was a life saver. As it restore alot of her health & juice, and raise her defense too. The defense part didn't make a ton of difference, but the free healing with Aubrey powerful regular attack certainly helped alot here and there.

Snowcon are also very good item to use on occassion, as it fully restore 1 party member health & juice, as well as giving it several buff for the rest of the battle. It can be worth to use even if you already got most of your health healed, if only for the buff it give.

Finally, that's more personal here, but having lucky strike on Omori might save your life if you manage to put her to almost death. As it make Omori act first & only use 15 juices compared to the 45/75 juices point the Something Attack/Red Hand use respectively. Plus if Omori as the happy statue on him by chance, the attack will be much stronger. It's a reliable finisher if you prefer. As it was the final blow on my side to win this ultimate challenge. (Aubrey was about to use Last Resort to end it in glory, being full health and all, but she lost all of her juice due to to the laser making her depress and taking most of her juice before she got heal, meanning when it was her turn, she did nothing)

Overall, the second phase basically force your on the defensive and is more a test of patience and luck at time to get a opening to deal enough damages/debuff to her before your supply of item ran out or someone die (it's not always the end of the world, but it can be really hard to bring someone back in the middle of all this chaos)

Idk if this was like the best way they could have gone to make the last bonus boss of the game super ultra challenging. But salt here and there aside on the moment, beating her actually made me feel like I beated a challenge worthy of being a post-endgame boss, and this right here after you beat her?

Worth all the pain & a broken teeth or two. 👌 :teeth:

EDIT: Note that someone thought this boss was still too easy and decided to make it harder because ???????

You can see that here.

But yeah, don't expect it to be easy fight like I did if you want to try it out.


Annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd that's it....challenge wise.

All I did afterward was getting all of Rococo arts done just for funsie, since I won't use any money left at this point, might as well spend it on something big.

The dream is coming to a close, and the game like to remind us why the good time we had along the way can't last.

Even with Sunny absorbed by Omori and Omori trying to erase almost all memories related to Mari . Something, Black Space, Mari/HellMari & even Sunny himselfwill always haunt his mind, and really, all this route did is made the real world a living hell & Headspace into temporary heaven that grow weaker & weaker with time. Everyone lose, and it's all because Sunny denied the truth one too many time.

There's nasty hallucinations I won't show here involing HellMari, and the fact the credit are pure black with only the siren of ambulance being heard. It's almost enough to make you regret playing this route at all...but I say, for all the pain along the way, I still had alot of fun where there was.

And overall, this game as easily become one of my favourite RPG ever. I won't go into a essay today as to why (mostly because it's so late here and I feel like I said enough at this point lol), but really, i'm very glad I played this game, and i'm very glad I was able to share it to you two.

If you ever play this Route, I wish you the best luck, if you ever share your thoughts on it, I love to see them, and with all said....
See ya next time, on another adventure. aka when I can finally fight Snaley, thinking of playing Oneshot next too, not sure tho
Since this is basically the last big report I write for a while, I like to hear your thoughts on this journey if you can.Feedback could help me for future project, but of course, no rush here.

That'll be me as well.

Leave around that time, get whoever I haven't on my friends list on Discord added and maybe add them to a group and stick with there. Just build upon the people I'm closest to as there some cool guys and all in this place.

Plus....................considering a certain Wademan94 Wademan94 and me been working on our stuff together, I can our stuff is tied together on that for a while into the future. Ain't that right my friend?

It’s already way down from the base game days, as well.

Of course I wanna know who’s next ASAP, but I also wanna cherish this time we’re all together.
Does make me wish I joined earlier on that but hey it's better this way. Not too busy.

I used to be a regular on Serebii Forums until Miiverse got me into the Smash fandom, then I migrated here.

My social anxiety keeps me from interacting with people much in real life, but I find the effects of my social anxiety are much less prominent on forums like this one, and the fact that we're all video game nerds makes me feel less ashamed of my, ahem, special interest.

Sometimes I still kind of feel aloof in this thread though. Like I'm not emotionally attached to anyone here or vice versa. But close friendships are hard to form online. But at least I still have people to talk to.

Bro, even if we’re not like close close you’re still really cool in my book.

You like Pokémon and dragons, that’s top tier taste.

I just thought it'd be cool to be a part of Smashboards dot com and be able to have an outlet to more actively speculate through instead of just watching everything from the distance, I dunno

Was part of a small robotics forum then few year break from everything then came here.

I'd say I'm close to a few people here who have all been pretty cool to me and I hope for them to continue long after I leave this forum. Not hoping for something like my parent who met his best friend on another gaming forum and now meet IRL once a year but halfway to that like voice chat.

Plus my IRL friends..................outside of one of them the rest are like trying to bring a horse to the water for trying to talk. And I have poor self esteem to make new friends IRL.

Anyways.

Now I'm gonna jump off for it is rice and curry time.

I really need to share this specific experience somewhere.
So I was playing Skyrim when one of these dragons started flying above me and circling around with the intention to annoy me by not attacking at all before it would then fly away. It did annoy me, because I didn't have that one shout to bring it down yet. Then I thought "What if I use the Throw Voice shout at it?" so I tried that, whiffing a number of times before finally getting an opening to shout at it.
Now, I don't know if it coincidentally decided to aggro at me at that very moment, but as soon as I landed one of these Throw Voice insults at it, the dragon immediately became hostile and attacked. I laughed hard because from my viewpoint, I actually pissed the dragon off with a shout that does no damage at all.
