@ The Merc Try not to double post.

Ah alright, I'M SORRY IF I MADE YOU FEEL BAD I'M NOT GOOD WITH THIS KINDA STUFF EITHER AHSJDKFG

I'm just going to go back to this to say, first and foremost, thank you, for speaking up for me. It touches the heart that you would care. I would never fault humanity for its voice, but only for its silence. You responded perfectly, and I appreciate that. You have nothing to apologize to anyone for.

 

[The Merc]

@ The Merc Try not to double post.

Oh, ok, it's just, no one was going to post for a while. That's all.

Oh, also, what did you think about me interpretation of Fi, cause it seems like all you got from the post was my correction. Just curious about your thoughts

 

[LIQUID12A]

So much discussion I've caused.

You know @ LIQUID12A got me thinking, you know how he's not interested in Zelda and hasn't played a game, how many people here were uninterested in Fire Emblem before Awakening? My first Fire Emblem game was Radiant Dawn in 2007 (at which point I was 9 and didn't know permadeath was a thing). Just a thought that popped into mind while reading the last couple pages. I think everyone should give a game a shot if good things are said about it, if bad things are said then I don't really think they should.

I didn't care for Fire Emblem either. Another series I was neutral to. Ironic that I love it because I initially disliked it for including Lucina and Robin in Sm4sh.

Actually, even though I had Brawl, I never knew much about FE until last year when a friend suggested that I get it. SO I go Awakening for Christmas (was think about getting Pokemon Y but declined) and I loved it. Wait, are you think about suggesting to LIQUIDFGC to get Zelda Wii u so that he will love the series? That's Brilliant

I do remember saying that it's not something I would get willingly, in the sense that I legitimately wanted it.

I appreciate the effort, but the edits still look very intrusive. Thanks for trying though. :3

Ah well, least I tried.

I must be the only person here who is completely indifferent to Fi.

Don't I count as indifferent since I'm indifferent to Zelda as a whole?

Yeah, you're right. You know the saying. When you assume, you make an *** out of u and me. I think I knew that @ Shaymikyu was female but just forget. Serious, when LIQUIDFGC remind me, I was like

Wait, your, your a woman?

Though in your case Hong

Wait, your, your a man?

Libra style

Though alot of the time, people's avatar's really throw me off.

It's the Internet, don't be surprised.

@ The Merc There are plenty of women among the Tacticians. Best not to assume or be surprised by anyone's gender.

Which honestly surprises me since 99% of the time the communities I've been in are predominantly male. No regular females over at Sony Smash Ripoff

I've played the beginning of OoT, and that's it. I really need to pick it back up someday, though. It was pretty fun.

When I was younger, my gaming experience was Pokémon, a tiny bit of Mario and SSB, an even smaller bit of Kirby, and some licensed games. I'm slowly expanding my palate, though.

No comment since I don't have an N64.

Most of Nintendo's properties were unknown to me because Rayman and Crash Bandicoot existed. I'm at least familiar with them now.

I think everyone should give a game a shot if good things are said about it, if bad things are said then I don't really think they should.

I actually was very wary of trying the games due being said to be "strategy RPG", which had me thinking it as something that will challenge your brain hard-time. Also moving so many units at the same time seemed like a hassle and scary thing to see. I avoided trying the games until finally giving in after my bro tried FE7 but didn't bother clearing the rest of it. Instantly fell in love with the games. (LYNDIS~ /HECTOR~ /). But to be honest, I just started to love the world and the characters that inhabited Elibe, along with the game mechanics being actually easy to pick-up, yet hard to master. It's sweet.

I'm still trying to clear other entries ATM, such a doing dual FE1+3-clearthrough and either trying out FE4 or FE6. FE4 feels... grand. Majestic. It needs seriously more glory than it has ATM. At least it has plenty material through mangas.

You know what's hilarious? My headcanon is that Miss Fit is actually Fi incarnated to modern era. Sounds crazy but seeing how both look pretty "mannequin" and move gracefully, I'd have some base to go from.

So aside from Robin, which characters are you people running right now?

I've come to be very accustomed to Villager (Green Turnip Girl or Violet 5-Ball Boy) , Pac-Man, Lucina, Peach and Palutena. I also fling about between Pit and Lemmy.

All are splendid fellas but I do most well with Villager, Lucy, Robin and Pacster. I guess because now I have seemingly mastered mindful fighting, setting back my usually aggressive one - however, I still lose to very defensive type of players.

And then I went and did a thing.
There, am I happy now? Only way this could be more what I looked for is if somebody came along and changed the hairstyle to the one in my sig.

Let me state this clearly.

Do not EVER, EVER redraw on art that is not your's. ​

Spoiler

Look.

This is quite the reason we see less this kind of good pics, especially in Pixiv: they get edited, clipped or modified on other people's use while well, not getting any credit on return. These pics ain't cakewalk to do even when "doodling", and it's been a major issue in Tumblr and other places as apparently people don't give qualms or respect about the original artists, treating them as more of inhuman beings able to magically make art out of nowhere. This distances the artist community further from other people, leading to less socialization and of course, less pictures distributed for others to see. After all, would you do the same if they'd get stolen and re-edited to ad nauseum? It would only serve to ruin the very nature and heart put to the pic to make it only something YOU can produce. These kind of things IMO taint it as they clash with the original work and are done (usually) without the original artist's consent.

This is the very reason I at least try to source pics if I can, and make sure people know where the source art is from. I've done some mistakes like these in the past and they haven't ended well on my end usually - but at least I learned why and wish that other's don't do the same: for we'd just be making artist's lives on internet more uncomfortable and undervaluing their efforts for sake of taking away their rights to keep the art regarded as theirs.

Sorry for that rant, but I love this artist (Matchabot) and I'd feel kind of quilty if I'd get to hear her complaining her art being edited at various parts of internet with no credit done back at her. So I suggest to take these down to prevent that and show that we're one of the good men (as it should be). Let's show some respect to the artist you all seem to like the very art of so much.

There are other characters in this game?

by the time Awakening was out, I believe I had played all the localized games minus Shadow Dragon, which I still haven't played or plan to do so.

This is why I feel guilty using fan art as icons without leaving credit, and even now, I've kind of moved away from using it without permission. If an artist outright states not to use their art, pretty as it is, I won't. I might post it, but I'll make the source clear and that it's not mine. I feel like people stealing art has led to those awful tacky Deviantart watermarks that ruin many an otherwise gorgeous picture, and I've seen people on Pixiv remove fan art over it too.

 

[Mr. Johan]

I've never had a problem with Fi. For all the talk about Link being a representation of yourself, he, like Robin, does have his own character of sorts, and its in Skyward Sword where its at its most obvious. As such, I see Fi as the best companion for this particular Link.

Link's never done the hero business but was training to become one for Skyloft. Fi guides him through the ropes as he goes along.

Link received a proper education unlike any other Link before, Fi's advice is done in a scholarly format.

This is the first Link in the Legend so everything's new. This is the Master Sword's first test run so Fi's going through the numbers because she's not so sure herself so she needs to have empirical data as backup.

Fi may not be the best choice for the player, but she's the best choice for Skyward Sword Link.

 

[Syrek]

One thing I've learned over the past few years is to never assume or judge another human being based on they're sexual orientation, preference or how they perceive themselves. One of my best friends is androgynous and this friend of mine is one of the greatest human beings I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. If you don't know someone's sexual orientation or preference, best to ask before making assumptions lest you look foolish or close minded. With that being said, I'm honoured to be in the presence of so many wonderful people of various genders and sexual orientation/preference. I feel this makes us a really diverse group of Tacticians that spans all walks of life. ^_^

Very well said!


About making edits on art that isn't yours...
As long as you DO credit the original artist, I don't feel any harm is done.
In this particular case, I chose the picture to represent myself because I loved 95% of how it looked but wanted - and was able to with my limited skill - to fix the biggest issue I had with the image, thus enabling me to represent myself better.

However, you're absolutely right, I should at least credit Matchabot and link to the oroginal picture. I will add it into my sig right after writing this.


On an entire different note:
Media Markt sold Smash Bros a couple days early.

I get that people don't want their art stolen and it's harder to edit out a watermark than a signature, but the watermarks end up just making it impossible to see or enjoy the actual art. At least an url or name isn't intrusive to the art itself and can be hard to edit out without being obvious.

Ooh, I can't wait to see it! I might make that my new icon and put my current one in my sig.

[Kenith]

Anybody want to talk about stages? I'm making a top 5 for the best and the worst.
(Note: I'm only talking about new stages)

Best:
1. Skyloft - fun, relaxed travelling stage with no hazards, like Isle Delfino, but unlike that stage it has very little walk-offs. Also the music is great too, although I wish there more of it. All in all, my favorite new stage, or my new favorite stage.

2. Mario Galaxy - I love the idea of this stage. While it does have walk-offs, that's fine, because I'm too busy listening to the music and watching all the cameos in the background to care. I've never noticed the gravity feature either, for better or worse.

3. Pyrosphere - It's a pretty standard stage with a "big" twist. Ridley is actually pretty fun to have around; not only does he fight for you, but he's not tremendously overpowered either. Plus the music is cool, lots of Ridley remixes tho.

4. Gamer - This stage is super fun. The gimmick isn't incredibly distracting, it's perfectly implemented. Plus it's hard to be outright killed by this stage's hazards anyway. The visuals are the best part, making it stand out in a good way. Also, Ashley's Theme = win.

5. Coliseum - I talk about music a lot. This stage gets 5th place for me simply because of the music. Fire Emblem music is awesome. Remixed Fire Emblem medleys are more awesome. Plus the stage looks really cool, totally looking like a place for an epic duel.


Worst:
1. Orbital Gate Assault - not gonna lie, this stage looks really cool. However, there is too much going on in this stage for me to even barely like it. There are too many hazards, most of them being hard to spot and very lethal for no good reason. I swear this stage is single-handedly costed me many stocks when the ground suddenly disappears.

2. Kalos Pokemon League - This stage has the same problem that Orbital Gate has, in that it has too many powerful hazards, and little space for actual fighting. The music is great, getting killed because of a sudden torrent of water is not.

3. Palutena's Temple - This stage is Ridley-sized. It is seriously too big. Even for 4-player battles I cannot comprehend what is happening at any given time. If people hated Temple for being overly large, they will absolutely despise Palutena's Temple.

4. Flat Zone X - Does this even count as a "new stage"? It's just a lazy fusion of Flat Zone 1 and 2, which isn't a huge problem, except that while Flat Zone 1 was okay, 2 is a disaster. I hated that stage, the Lion and Gas Station sections are horribly overpowered.

5. Pac-Land - Also known as "MS Paint Land" because that is what it looks like. It severely irks me that not only did Pac-Man get two stages vs. Mega Man's one, but the Wii U he got was...this. To be fair, this stage has grown on me a bit, but I would have taken a better version of Pac-Maze over this, since it at least screams "Pac-Man". The main theme of this stage, however, is still excellent.

[LIQUID12A]

Anybody want to talk about stages? I'm making a top 5 for the best and the worst.

:tldr:.

I had an afternoon of Smash U yesterday at a friend's house, and I'll make my top lists in no particular order:

1. Gaur Plain: Easily has some of the best music in the game. Stage is a tad large, but if only to accommodate Metal Face.

2. Gamer: Mom hazard makes the stage really hectic to fight on, and I like that.

3. Pyrosphere: I'm liking Ridley, tbh. He's a fun laugh inducing hazard. Plus HOLY BALLZ METROID PRIME HUNTERS MUSIC MY NOSTALGIA WAAAAAAAAH.

4. Pilotwings: Orbital Gate Assault done right.

5. Coliseum: Flat stage, simple platform gimmicks. Me like.


Worst:

1. Orbital Gate: A shame one of the best looking stages in the game is a hassle to fight on.

2. Wrecking Crew: I don't like the hazards here, tbh. Barrels are stupid.

3. Great Cave Offensive/Palutena's Temple: And they say Ridley is big. 8 player Smash or not, these are MASSIVE.

4. Flat Zone X - See Kenith's post.

5. Pac-Land - BORING. LAME. I DON'T CARE THAT IT'S A THROWBACK IT'S BORING.

 

[Shaymikyu]

I haven't played the Wii U one, though I might list my 3DS ones.

I've heard the Kalos League is frustrating though, which makes me sad. That was the one I was looking forward to the most.

A friend of mine who already has played the Wii U version spoke ill of Pac-Land as well. Pac-Man just seems to get bad stages, it seems.

Spoiler: For 3DS Only

Favorites:
1. Unova Pokémon League
2. Arena Ferox
3. Lumiose City
4. Tomodachi Life
5. Tortimer Island/Magicant (tie- Magicant would be second favorite, but the Flying Men can get annoying)

Least Favorites:
1. Wily's Castle (for one element, and one element only, it should be obvious)
2. Pac-Maze
3. Balloon Fight (not as bad as the retro stages from Brawl, though)
4. Rainbow Road (cool idea and cool-looking, but the cars get annoying)
5. Golden Plains (not bad, just kind of dull next to some other stages, did we really need 3 Mario side-scroller-esque stages?)

 

[The Merc]

Btw, finally finished the coloring for gracidea and unknown after ages of procrastination. When I get home I shall scan them, post them, then open up my old computer and try out some digital art.

Or I could just fall into a deep slumber for a few millennia until I awaken only to be slain by yet another blue haired lord.

OH MY GOD! YES

Please don't do that, it so close.

Who is this Blue Haired Swordsman, I will smite him with my Levin Sword!

Anybody want to talk about stages? I'm making a top 5 for the best and the worst.
(Note: I'm only talking about new stages)

Best:
1. Skyloft - fun, relaxed travelling stage with no hazards, like Isle Delfino, but unlike that stage it has very little walk-offs. Also the music is great too, although I wish there more of it. All in all, my favorite new stage, or my new favorite stage.

2. Mario Galaxy - I love the idea of this stage. While it does have walk-offs, that's fine, because I'm too busy listening to the music and watching all the cameos in the background to care. I've never noticed the gravity feature either, for better or worse.

3. Pyrosphere - It's a pretty standard stage with a "big" twist. Ridley is actually pretty fun to have around; not only does he fight for you, but he's not tremendously overpowered either. Plus the music is cool, lots of Ridley remixes tho.

4. Gamer - This stage is super fun. The gimmick isn't incredibly distracting, it's perfectly implemented. Plus it's hard to be outright killed by this stage's hazards anyway. The visuals are the best part, making it stand out in a good way. Also, Ashley's Theme = win.

The game one is interesting. From the video footage, it looks hard to dodge Moms attacks and not a very competitive stage. Good analyses though .

The main theme of this stage, however, is still excellent.

Best:
1. Mario Galaxy: I love the gravity gimmick and while there are walk-offs, I am having too much of a fun time to even care about them. Also, the music. The beautifully, orchestrated music.

2. Pyrosphere: I was a bit mixed about Ridley being a stage hazard since I didn't think of what he could do. Now that I've seen and experienced him in action, it's a load of fun! It's just fun to see Ridley powerfully swipe at your opponents and you get a sense of satisfaction when you do get him on your side.

3. Gaur Plain: I am a Xenoblade fan, but I wouldn't list this stage if it wasn't for a combination of the fantastic music and Metal Face. This stage would be OK-ish if it wasn't for Metal Face popping out, spouting awesome lines, and causing mayhem. Honestly, Metal Face makes this stage awesome.

4. Gamer: A very fun gimmick where you and your friends play, "Who is the biggest **** of the bunch?" I really enjoy this stage for that gimmick alone and the gimmick is faithful to the original game in Game & Wario.

5. Skyloft: I love the scenery and the areas you fight in. It's a very fun area to fight in. Also, you get awesome Zelda music. What is not to love?
Honorable mentions go to the Boxing Ring, Mushroom Kingdom U, Wuhu Island, Pilotwings, and Duck Hunt.

Worst:
1. Pac-Land: One could create this stage in MS Paint and call it a day. It's dull, un-interesting, and the soundtrack for the stage is pretty disappointing. I rather have Pac-Maze over this.

2. Great Cave Offensive: This stage is massive, has too many caves of life, and it was a poor choice for a Kirby stage. I hate how Kirby's recent history was ignored and this was put in. Why not choose a stage like Nutty Noon or Cookie Country or something?

3. Palutena's Temple: This stage is way too big. I will admit this: I lost to Dark Pit a couple of times and I blame this overly big stage because of it. Thank god the Omega versions of stages exist because this one is awful.

4. Flat Zone X: I like Flat Zone 1. Flat Zone 2? I hated that stage for the overly powerful stage hazards (especially the ones in Lion). While this combines Flat Zone 1 and 2, you still get the many hazards from Flat Zone 2.

5. Wily Castle: Two words: Yellow Devil. The music is incredible, but the Yellow Devil sucks since it is in your way while you fight. I chose this stage once against my friends just to be a **** to them because of the Yellow Devil.

 

[Weeman]

I have only played it with my cousin but here are my thoughts, in countdown format:

Best New Stages​

5. Orbital Gate Assault: Looks Fantastic, has great music and the hazards aren't too bad after the first time you encounter them, i love the overall hectic feel of this one, i mean i don't see the problem, it's crazy yes, but it's also really fun, i never expected it to be competitive firendly after the 50 fact extravanza, and it feels just as i expected, a crazy roller coaster space ride. (Also the FD version looks great too.)
4. Gamer: Really fun to play, and the Mom gimnick it's surprisingly subtle despite being so lethal, kinda blends in with everything really well.
3. Pyosphere: Ridley feels way more fun to play with than either Metal Face and the Yellow Devil, and the stage itself looks and sounds gorgeous.
2. Skyloft: A better Delfino Plaza, wich i already liked a lot.
1. Wuhu Island: I love the different layouts this stage has, as well as the plattforms themselves, way better than Pilotwings in my book.

Worst New Stages​

5. Wrecking Crew: Boring overall, i only like the city setting it has, wich makes me even more salty City Escape wasn't chosen over Windy Hill.
4. Pilot Wings: Boring and i think it kinda gets outclassed by Wuhu Island.
3. Castle Willy: YELLOW FRIGGIN' DEVIL.
2. Flat zone X: Boring and annoying.
1. Pac Land: NOPE

Best Retro Stages​

5. Temple: I have great memories of this stage, even if it's mostly for the wrong reasons, and 8 players make it kinda worth it in my opinion.
4. Castle Siege: I really liked this one in Brawl, glad it's back.
3. Luigi's Mansion: Looks great in HD, love the music and overall atmosphere. AND OH MY GOD THAT FD VERSION ROOFTOP.
2. Port Town Aerodive: HYEZ!
1. Lylat Cruise: What can i say? I'm a sucker for Star Fox stages, and this one is, in my opinion, the best one of the bunch, great layout, music and even competitively viable, great overall.

Worst Retro Stages​

5. Smallville: SOMEBODY SAAAAAAAVE MEEEEEE!
4. Bridge of Eldin: Why??!!!
3. Onett: Would've much rather have Magicant, or at least Fourside, but oh well at least it ain't New Pork City
2. Skyworld: WHY???!!!
1. Mario Circuit Brawl: Bad stage? Check, Redundant as hell? Check, Boring Layout? Check

​

 

[Kenith]

5. Smallville: SOMEBODY SAAAAAAAVE MEEEEEE!

You win.

Here's my pick for retro stages:

Best:
1. Castle Siege - I still love this stage. It still has incredible music, is fun, and brings Brawl hype nostalgia.
2. Onett - FINALLY THEY HAVE THE ACTUAL ONETT THEME.
3. Luigi's Mansion - One of my favorite Mario games, now with Dark Moon remixes!
4. Bridge of Eldin - Twilight Princess FTW.
5. Temple - I love playing this stage, and the fact they included the Great Bay theme like in Adventure Mode makes me so happy.

Worst:
1. 75m - This stage is a nightmare to play even now, and they removed the ONLY GOOD PART (the right walk-off).
2. Skyworld - It still baffles me how a stage this tiny can have so many walls of life.
3. Mario Circuit - A boring, frustrating stage with lackluster music choices.
4. Delfino Plaza, it's funny, despite the fact I like travelling stages and love Super Mario Sunshine, I find this stage incredibly boring.
5. Norfair - It's got some nice music, but the stage is way too gimmicky and has no room for actual combat.

 

[Drakonis]

Just unlocked the final character. Doing 100 Smash matches still takes quite quite a while with 1 stock matches and SDs.
At least I didn't have to repeat any newcomer battles.
Now on to doing some challenges and generally more fun stuff. :3

 

[The Merc]

I don't have the Wii U version, however, as everyone else is doing it, I will do my top 5 fav and lest fav 3ds stages

Favourite

1. Spirit Train - While Most people dismiss it as Big Blue version 2, but not only is it more fun, you less likely to accidently die from the tracks than in the big blue. Plus the music is great

2. Arena Ferox - I love it for the same reasons as Pokemon Stadium. That transformations really mix up the stage, it's very dynamic and also Id(Purpose)

3. Lumous City - It's very fun stage. That's really all I've got

4. Gerudo Valley - A more fun version of Bridge of Eldin. Also, the remix of Gerudo Valley is AWESOME

5. Final Destination (Omega stages)/Boxing Ring - These two stages are tie, how very the place does to Boxing Ring, Omega form. Reason? Because not only does that mean that it be played on by very, it also means I can listen to the great music on the stage (yeah, I mostly choose my stages for music)

Dislike (5 being only just and 1 being absolutely hate)

5. Dr Wily's Caste - Yes, Yellow Devil does kind of ruin the stage, but the music more than makes up for it.

4. Nintendo Dog stage - This stages Blast Lines are too dam BIG!

3. Balloon Fight - I wanted too love this stage, I really do, but it's just too many hazards

2. Flat Zone Stage - Cause of other stated reasons

1. Mushroomy Kingdom - Nuff said

 

[False Sense]

I'm noticing that Gamer seems to be in nearly everyone's Top 5 Best New Stages lists. Looks like that may be one of the definitive best stages.

...Unfortunately, as I don't have the Wii U version, I can't make an accurate list for that. So... Here's my Top 3 Best New Stages for the 3DS (not enough to do a Top 5):

3.) Tortimer Island: The stage is nice and simple with enough interesting quirks to keep things interesting. Plus the location itself makes for a nice Animal Crossing stage.

2.) Prism Tower: I really like the location the stage is based on, the various platform changes are fun, it has nice music, and there are a number of Pokemon cameos that I enjoy. It's just a fun stage overall.

1.) Arena Ferox: This is probably one of my favorites. It's a great choice for a stage, the changes to the layout are balances and make matches more exciting, and it has some incredible music despite only having two songs. It makes for some truly epic matches, and frankly, I'm going to miss it on the Wii U version (but Coliseum doesn't seem too bad either).

 

[SimonBarSinister]

What's with the hate Yellow Devil is getting? He's not THAT bad of a stage hazard.

 

[Raziek]

What's with the hate Yellow Devil is getting? He's not THAT bad of a stage hazard.

He ruins the stage from a competitive standpoint. That's pretty much all that matters.

 

[LIQUID12A]

He ruins the stage from a competitive standpoint. That's pretty much all that matters.

Just kidding, not dissing the competitive mind.

 

[Raziek]

>omega version



Just kidding, not dissing the competitive mind.

I mean, when I DO have to go to FD I try to make it Gaur Plains or Wily's, but that stage is still buns and I always stage-ban FD in tournament.

For retro Wii U stages...
Best:
1. Halberd: My favorite Brawl stage. I am glad this returned in glorious HD.
2. Luigi's Mansion: I love the atmosphere and design of the stage. I am glad that they brought this one back!
3. Kongo Jungle 64: Nostalgia!!!!
4. Delfino Plaza: This one really benefited from being in HD and it's a fun stage overall.
5. Castle Siege: This stage was awesome, nuff said.
Honorable mention goes to Lylat Cruise

Worst:
1. 75m: Why the hell was this brought back? WHY THE HELL WAS THIS BROUGHT BACK?! I avoid this stage like it's the plague.
2. Mario Circuit: The layout is boring, the music here isn't very exciting, and now it's redundant as all hell with a much better new Mario Kart stage.
3. Temple: I have bad memories with this stage online.
4. Skyworld: I love the music, but the platforms make it annoying.
5. Norfair: Meh.

Now for the new 3DS stages!
Best:
1. Prism Tower: I love the layout and the background of the stage. My only minor gripe is that the alternate track is the unfitting Lumiose City track.
2. 3D Land: What a fun moving stage.
3. Arena Ferox: I question why this stage is allowed in competitive play. That being said, I still enjoy it and I wish it was in HD.
4. Pac-Maze: What should have been on the Wii U version as well.
5. Boxing Ring: Yeah.

Worst:
1. PictoChat 2: Those stage hazards are too powerful.
2. Balloon Fight: I can't seem to like this stage's gimmick.
3. Dream Land: A missed opportunity by Sakurai. I don't know why he made the Game Boy stage be solely based on Kirby when the stage could take place in other classic games like Super Mario Land, Wario Land, Link's Awakening, among others. It's also an extremely disappointing choice for Kirby, especially when Triple Deluxe is a thing.
4. Wily Castle: Yellow Devil.
5. Tomodachi Life: Boring layout? Check. Boring to fight on? Check. This stage is pretty bland.

Old 3DS stages:
Best:
1. WarioWare, Inc.: I love the Microgames that are in this stage. It makes for a fun, chaotic time.
2. Yoshi's Island: Fun to fight on.
3. Corneria: Fun to fight on as well.
Worst:
1. Mushroomy Kingdom: This stage is garbage and I am disappointed that they brought it back.
2. Flat Zone 2: Powerful stage hazards.
3. Green Hill Zone: Poor Sonic got stuck with this stage.

Robin is a terrible ally. Always letting other people give Chrom the business while he just sits there looking pretty.

I guess Grima hasn't truly left him.

 

[Blakexd9]

Diddy Kong. Any tips on the matchup? I'm fine while on the ground, but it was hell to return to the stage after a down throw from Diddy.
