I might be absent from SB for a while...

I feel like my life is just spiraling out of control. Family problems, money problems (and job hunt woes with it), I’m starting to have actual health problems, and now I’m probably gonna lose a long time group of friends because my life isn’t “perfect” enough for them.

It’s not that I’m refusing their help. It’s that their help is literally infeasible given my situation. And now with my own actions I’ve burned the bridges without intending to.

I’m sorry...

Take care. Hope things get better for you.

I really wish you well. It sounds like you're in a real tough situation, I hope things improve for you soon.

 

[Guh-Huzzah!]

That's what happens when you get hit by Ridley's Side B in the air. Try not to get grabbed.



You did pick the exact same costume as me, so that isn't too surprising.

Also I don't know who Scrubtastk is, but they got a good .

Oh I know I that of course but I mean like
Wow that was a good play.
I completely forgot getting grabbed with your next extended kinda teleports you

Anybody else wanna join my arena?

I wish, but I have nothing.

It's alright Rie. You've got absolutely nothing to apologize for. I wish you nothing but the best, my friend. Take all the time you need.

Here's a fun speculation game.

Nintendo announces an Echoes Pass for Smash Bros. Ultimate! For $14.99 you get 5 echo fighters/semi-clones of existing Fighters. What five characters would you want to see and who would they be echoes of?

For me, I'd like to see:

1. Celica - echo of Robin without durability mechanic
   1. Standard and Smash attacks are with Beloved Zofia, attacks do damage between Levin and Bronze Sword
   2. Special Attacks conduct self-harm instead of using durability. With this standard attacks using magic are changed to remove the book and deal small self-damage. In return they do more damage.
2. Black Shadow - echo of Captain Falcon using dark elemental attacks instead of fire
3. Dixie Kong - echo of Diddy Kong with some specials changed
   1. Recovery becomes Hair Helicopter (Similar to Duck Hunt Dog's)
   2. Standard Special becomes Hair Whip (Similar to Piranha Plant's Standard Special but less ridiculous)
4. Octoling - echo of Inkling, mainly cosmetic like Simon and Richter
5. Bass - echo of Megaman, uses different special weapons with different elemental effects, centers more around darkness
   1. Standard Special: Shadow Blade
   2. Recovery: Treble Adapter (Similar to R.O.B.'s recovery)
   3. Side Special: Napalm Bomb
   4. Down Special: Skull Barrier

It's 2019 and people still think Celica works as a Robin echo.

Mila help us all.

I can't Stay much longer and although I will be salty enough to blame my losses on my controller not going right half of the time,
Guh-Huzzah! , PsySmasher and @Connorb0t2 . I consider andto be my mains. What'd ya think?
(Please help me)

I wish I can do more, but I am on mobile.
I hate SB mobile.

Layton could be a good echo of Marth

Does anyone know anything about Poker Tournaments? I've been trying to work on designing a Poker Night 2 followup game. The way I wanted to do it was have it be a full fledged tournament, with multiple tables full of different characters that you progress through in a campaign mode (of course with the ability to mix and match characters in a free-play mode). But I can't find any standard on how many players a poker tournament typically has. Does anyone here know anything that can help me out?

Honestly I recently learned how goddamn oppressive that thing is because it ****ing EATS shields and can block some projectiles from what I saw. If Snake's grenades can't beat it then what about Nikita, missles, holy water, etc. Plant's specials are ****ing great

 

[Aurane]

I have to go to work but if you guys want to, I might be free to play after 3 (four hours from now). I might play some Paladins first but I think I'm in the mood to Smash some lads. ;p

Plant’s specials are one of the main reasons I love him.

Overall you've got a pretty decent and .

With , try not to rely on Side B too often. If a powerful enough attack reflects you off the stage, you pretty much lose a stock. You're is good. With , I could tell when you were trying to go for the Up Throw kill. Try not to make it as obvious when going for it.

With , try not to rely on Side B as much for recovery. I know it's a great aerial grab against characters who have bad recoveries. But, if your opponent recognizes this and plans accordingly (ex. I saved both of my jumps after the grab, so I was still able to recover on the opposite side of the stage), it's not gonna be as effective. Also the move in general is very dangerous to use if you space it incorrectly.

Try going for some more normal throws instead of Side B. Down Throw especially, since it's a combo throw at low percents and a kill throw at the 150%+ range.

Also Guh-Huzzah! you can jump or DI out of the Down Throw/Down B combo. It's definitely not a true combo. And if you do get hit by it, always roll away from me. If you roll towards me or do a get-up attack, I can just F Smash or D Smash you and you're dead.

 

[Aurane]

Plant is a cool character. Once you learn his spe als, you can camp an enemy very efficiently and deny areas to force an enemy into performing a certain action to punish.

As a Lucas main however, I dont give a rat's ass what Plant does.

Whenever I get grabbed I always mash but I can just never pop out it seems.

This is why you save, often

 

[Deleted member]

Nope, it wasn’t that. I was doing lip sync and didn’t have AV-sync on.

 

[PsySmasher]

You shouldn't worry too much about mashing, since you're virtually at 0% when I grab you.

In that scenario, directional air dodge is your best bet. Even if it causes you to get hit by like a dash attack or something else, it's much better that me getting a 0 to death on you in 4 hits.

 

[Deleted member]

Shoutouts to anyone who's been pushing Malos as a Shulk echo. Y'all the real ones.

I mean, to be real, he would work just like Shulk, but just give him semi-Ganondorf mobility stats.

Still wanna mash out if I can ya know.
Thanks for the advice though! Will keep that in mind.

It was the primary way the same way it was for Isabelle.

In other words, tons of people calling for her to be an echo as a bunch of other people try, in vain, to say "no that doesn't work."

I was thinking about maybe having him have a slightly stronger Buster, Shield, and Smash but a worse Speed and Jump

How doesn't it work then? I'm kind of confused as to what you're arguing (sorry, I need something I can visualize).

2. Anna (Fire Emblem Heroes) as an echo of Edelgard*
3. Impa as an echo of Sheik

Brilliant. Both are significant characters in their series--though, I didn't expect Heroes Anna here. I would think something more like Awakening Trickster Anna being a Robin echo with permanent Levin sword and throwing a coin at high velocities instead of using the fire tome.
And if Anna can't get her own alt in Heroes, no way she's gonna get an alt in Smash!! IS, please, I BEG YOU

Discounting characters that already have echoes, here's who I'd personally pick.

• Hector (Ike)
  • Different miscellaneous animations despite moveset similarity. More cocky and arrogant.
  • Lightning effects
  • Less overall damage, but if hit at the sweetspot of the axe, does more damage and knockback.

It's perfect, you'd only have to change one animation: Ike never does sword-only movements like thrusts (except when he stabs the ground). His movements are all heavy cleaving strikes, and that's the only thing an axe can do!

I might be absent from SB for a while...

It's been two years since we've spoken, but, God bless ye. I pray you well.

 

[Opossum]

How doesn't it work then? I'm kind of confused as to what you're arguing (sorry, I need something I can visualize).

Tons of Robin's attack animations, as well as his general movement, rely on him being a sort of clumsy and unrefined swordsman, as shown by things like his dash attack, tilts, back air, and down smash, to name a few. Celica's swordstyle is a more graceful and elegant rapier-like style. Add to that that Celica's almost always a magic user over a sword user (except in Warriors due to time constraints that wouldn't be present in Smash), and that Robin only uses magic in his jabs and specials, and it honestly just isn't representative of Celica in the slightest.

The trick is that if you keep it stored and throw it out in disadvantage, the opponent had the choice between retreating or continuing but taken tons o' damage.
Since it doesn't deal knockback, you're usually already damaged by the time you realise this so Both options Just suck at that point

I don't understand how I never noticed this given my love for Historical European Martial Arts-

--and that Robin only uses magic in his jabs and specials--

Ah, I see, I was distracted by the cool vfx. Nothing like a good EXPLOSIONN to excuse bad swordsmanship.

 

[TheMightyP]

Come to think of it, why is the Inkbrush Inkling's F-Smash, let alone the strongest of all three of her Smashes. In both Splatoon games, it's one of the worst weapons, and just one swing alone is pretty weak. On top of that, both the Blaster and the Slosher are far more powerful (though the Blaster is supposed to be much slower than the Inkbrush, and have far more range than it does in Smash. The Slosher's range is more than the Inkbrush, so at least that's accurate).

Are we talking most wanted Echos? Besides Malos, and this might be unpopular, but I would actually be cool with TP Link as a BotW Link echo with his Sm4sh moveset

I'd like to see Dr. Luigi as an echo with Luigi's old moveset and mechanics tbh.
