VGD: Dr. Shrunk Says be Happy!!

[outfoxd]

Just because Duck Hunt doesn't have as much kill options, doesn't mean you had to leave him.

The frustration was mounting. I'm keeping him up in case there's a buff or I find something meta change. I still love him

Villager clicked like the Dog did for me though, so I'm exploring.

It's okay to explore and find a character that makes ya happier! If Duck Hunt wasn't doing it, don't force it, but would be very useful to keep him as a strong secondary. Anyway, welcome!

trust me I played duck hunt having my opponent live at 200% fells all sorts of messed up

 

[Sonsa]

Yeah, I love the dog too, but people always fall out of the smash attacks somehow... at least there's up-tilt.

 

[outfoxd]

most of my kos were from kamikaze can aerials or finally landing hi percent sweetspot bairs.. it's refreshing to just land a good uair or upsmash for a kill, and be confident it'll happen

[Mr.Sile]

Hello, errbody. I'm a Duck Hunt main that is transitioning to Villager. I have to say, having killing power is like Christmas to me. Just wanted to introduce myself, and look forward to being a mayor.

Hey and Welcome! If you're just starting out on Villager, you're in luck as one of our members is making a guide soon so stay tuned for that.

If you have any questions or want to talk about anything, Ask in the Q&A thread or here. We'd love to answer any questions you have about the character.

And remember, you don't have to drop Duck Hunt, but keep him as a pocket or a second main. (His customs make him annoying too).

I hope learning Villager will be a fun journey to you as it was to me. You can apply your prior DH knowledge but Villager is still different.

have i mentioned the villager boards are the cutest of all the character boards?

It's because of you :D



no, not like like that ew

 

[Wonderf]

lol , that was beautiful!

 

[Dee-SmashinBoss]

Nope Kirby
I don't really have a favorite costum of villagers as for now........
I just use default, but maybe purple shirt could be the coolest.

 

[Mr.Sile]

Decided to force myself to learn Shoulder Jump + C-stick aerials for the next 2 hours. Wish me luck because It's hard so far.

I keep overpressing L into a fullhop :`(

I think the C-stick aerials autocancel themselves eventually, that's a neat feature.

So yesterday I had a mini epiphany at school. It was yearbook day, so we didn't really do anything productive. Most of the day we just sat in the cafeteria area. There was a Promethean board in the center that they had used for a Senior breakfast thing earlier, and we asked if we could use it to set up a Wii U, and they let us have at it. Of course you guys know what game we brought.

Boy was it a blast! We had two GC adapters and 8 controllers, so we had 8 players playing at all times! All sorts of guys in the school were hopping on, and everybody else was just watching with a look of joy on their face. All items were on, any stage goes, completely casual.

And I realized that while I definitely enjoy the game more as a competitive hobby, I think Sakurai was on to something when he said the game was meant to be played at a casual level. I don't remember the last time I played Smash not really caring whether I won or not. If Sakurai were with us that day, he would've been proud.

We also set up a mini tournament later on, which I won, so that was fun too.

I wish I could bring my Wii U to my highschool without the, you know,...social pressures.

They were playing Melee and PM in the technology room the other day so I assume they don't like Sm4sh.

Also, learning C-stick aerials + shoulder jump feels worse than the day that I turned tap-jump off.



Edit: jdsnkfsdksk This is so haaaaard. But whenever I want to give up, I imagine @ Sonsa is like

Nice!
We have a smash club at my school once a week, but there is lots of people who are like "Melee is the only worthy smash game to be played" so it's mainly just melee played there but me and a couple of other people bring their 3ds and play some good old sm4sh. I find it's much more friendly for newer people to smash (like me) and the club.
We once had a sm4sh tournament but I came second...
so close, yet so far.
It's always nice to play smash with other people at school

I think I discovered the cure to autopiloting aka not using all the tools at my disposal.

 

[AnchorTea]

I think I discovered the cure to autopiloting aka not using all the tools at my disposal.

What is it?

 

[Mr.Sile]

What is it?

Change your control scheme.

If you map your jump button to shield like I did, Your brain can't resort back to old habits. Just take two hours and play in FG or against your casual friend with this control scheme and see how you do.

Your brain has to regularly stop and think about what to do in that situation and although it causes you to play slower, you start using all of your tools.

Really fun, and it's making learning how to use C-stick aerials fun too.

 

[RaenUE]

Do you recommend changing everything? I've really bad auto-pilot issues

 

[Mr.Sile]

Do you recommend changing everything? I've really bad auto-pilot issues

Depends on your most used move. For example, When I autopilot, I use Bair/Fair/Nair a lot.

So, I mapped my jump button (Y) to shield and started practicing shoulder jumps (mapping your unused shoulder button to a jump), which can help later on when you decide you want to learn C-stick aerials.

With that done, I can't go back to old habits without knowing it and forces me to analyze the situation and learn the new scheme. Changing everything would just cause extra, unnecessary confusion IMO.

It's really fun, I think, and once this learning ordeal is done, I'll map my shield button to something else and see what happens. I reccommend anyone try it just for fun. (a friend of mine said that he wishes he could map his shield button to taunt, that's not possible though).

Edit: Of course, Don't do this in the middle of a tourney match or anything but If you have free time, or get bored, Try doing this for about a week and see what happens.

 

[SoniCraft]

Mapping jump to a shoulder button makes jump cancel glide tosses much easier and more effective. I think I'm gonna start using R to jump, but I have no reason to stop using L to shield.

Yeah, I only mapped my unused shoulder button to input jump. I shield with R though.

Hello other villager mains!
Call me zang, I just joined smash boards and used to strictly main Yoshi but trying to get the hang of Villager recently,
I really love the people here! :-)

Hi guys, Villyness from Australia. I kind of lurked around on the forums for a long time cause I never really found courage to say hi.
I've mained Villager since the Japanese demo and I love him to bits! I also co-main Ness but Villager's definitely my main for this iteration of smash.
I hope to make new friends with fellow mayors and learn from everyone! Very keen to improve my Villager. ^^

Welcome to the Villager Boards!
I hope you enjoy your time here

Yay Villyness, thanks for introducing yourself to the boards! Excited for new people to join the boards!

 

[AnchorTea]

A lot of new Villager's are appearing more and more! Our adorable fellow is getting more and more attention! And in a good way!

Also, I challenge every Villager of the Villager Boards to solve this puzzle!!

( @Indigo Jeans if you solve this. I shall no longer call you a female!)

Isn't this the Euler's puzzle or something?

It's only got a solution if you allow people to trace onto an edge (i.e. you don't count it as having 'intersected' when doing so). Otherwise mathematically it's impossible to solve iirc cause something about old number of possible paths I think...

^He tried to read all 1491 pages of the Zelda Social.

 

[Tikivoy]

Intruding because I wanted to mention I got a Villager amiibo and he's my favorite.

Spoiler

 

[zang]

think villager amiboo is one of the more rarer ones to find or the rarest
