Your Most Frustrating Times In Smash

[Dark Phazon]

- Tripping.
- SSE's padding.
- Brawl's craptacular online.
- Brawl's online error-ing when you finally found an opponent.
- Going into a room in Brawl and seeing the other 3 characters just spam up / down and taunts after waiting for 10 mins to find people.

Poor Brawl, lol. Needless to say, I hope there are improvements for SSB4 with online experiences.

Brawl

 

[Goten21]

The way the characters kept holding on to the edges in brawl

 

[CardiganBoy]

Brawl Samus' up taunt

 

[CardiganBoy]

Watchig Brawl Samus' up taunt

 

[Miss Fit]

Getting footstooled. I think its a pretty silly mechanic and it just gives an unfair advantage to characters that can have multiple jumps over others who don't

 

[Arcadenik]

Besides the obvious stuff like tripping, Cruel Melee/Brawl, 15-Minute Melee/Brawl, and Very Hard (or Intense) difficulties... I hate battling against a level 9 CPU-controlled Fox, Falco, or Luigi in Melee... and attempting to collect trophies with the Trophy Stand in the Subspace Emissary.

 

[Eternal phoenix Fire]

Unlocking Sonic and Tails in Melee.

 

[Lugubrious]

Fighting teams of three in Brawl's online. Not being able to do the Dedede hammer-dash. I'll think of more eventually; I'm sure I repressed a fair few.

 

[MasteRMerF]

Event Match 49 in Melee.

 

[JediLink]

Unlocking Sonic and Tails in Melee.

I remember at one point I was determined to unlock Toad, so I played classic mode over and over again to practice shooting the credits. What a naive child I was.

 

[PadWarrior]

Unlocking Mewtoo in Melee. Some of the events in Melee. Poke Floats. Adventure Mode not having an variety in Melee.

I really, really wish that Toad is a playable character for once in a Smash Bros. game...

Guess that's what Super Smash Bros. Crusade is for...

 

[DakotaBonez]

Wavedashing in Project M with the wiimote and nunchuck!
GRRAAAH!!!

 

[Blaziken]

Choosing random and getting a bad character.
Mewtwo not being in Brawl.
The weekend wait for updates to the website.
Clones.

 

[The Real Gamer]

Brawl.

Fixed.

 

[Knight Dude]

Event 51 in Melee. That was annoying. But I managed to beat it twice. Also, The Geat Maze was pretty bad too. Not so much for being actually hard, rather that it was just so long and needless that got to me.

 

[SmashShadow]

Lv 9 Melee Foxes jab locking.

 

[randy2dope]

unlocking Falco in melee it brought on a world of hate in 2002

 

[Daedra]

Playing against cpu Luigi

Think that's bad, try resetting your game (with a shiny Swampert no less) because of some hoax you found on Youtube.

 

[PlayerXIII]

Going for that final hit with Marth's down air tipper in Melee and missing it, only to have the situation turned around on me and sent to my doom.

 

[BindingBlade]

Using Lucario's Double Team, they don't attack and immediately send you flying when you have finished.

 

[Ulti-Bman]

My most frustrating moment? When my friend told me that Mewtwo was an unlockable playable character in Brawl as he was in Melee. So, instead of looking online to see if what she said was true, I played through Intense All-Star mode. I died plenty of times, my hands hurt, but what did I get as a reward? I got Mewtwo alright...as a trophy.

-You are playing Wi-Fi and you have the perfect setup ready for that awesome combo. What happens next? The game lags on you and your attacks are messed up now.
-Your controller starts to act weirdly during a match. For example, your character is moving right even though the joystick is stationary.
-You never died in Classic Mode and then you die on some stage only to not die on the rest. That's just painful…
-You play against someone who is spamming a move… an infamous example is Pikachu's down B.
-Taunt Partys on Wi-Fi. Nuff said.
-Tripping in general.

Do not speak of that rodent in my presence.

Spoiler

In all seriousness, I know how you feel. I was going against by boyfriend last weekend and he decided to use that exact move over and over just to annoy me. Up until that moment, I thought Pikachu was harmless. He proved me wrong.

 

[mimgrim]

Unlocking characters and stages.

Then you wouldn't have like me when I was a kid. It's all I did.

Unlocking characters and stages.

How about unlocking everything ever period? That means unlocking every character, stage, and trophy as well as every bonus for Melee or every cutscene, CD, sticker, and masterpiece for Brawl?

I don't care about that other stuff as they don't affect gameplay.

 

[kylexv]

how LONG weekends are during game development

 

[Substitution]

I would.

 

[mimgrim]

I would.

I'm not you.

 

[Substitution]

I'm not you.

You don't know that.
Heck, we could be in different universe where we're the same person.

But, frustrating moments.
One time I was in a match between one of my friends.
We we're toe to toe, and I was winning by percentage.
...Then I air dodged.

 

[mimgrim]

You don't know that.

I kinda do.

 

[Substitution]

I kinda do.

Edited my post.

Oh, and the time I tried to figure out how to grab, or the "rolling back attack (Pikachu's back throw)".
...I was a stupid kid...

 

[mimgrim]

Heck, we could be in different universe where we're the same person.

That's possible. I have been known to argue with myself at times.

...I was a stupid kid...

I concur.

 

[Substitution]

I concur.

...I'm not joking.

 

[mimgrim]

...I'm not joking.

Neither am I.

 

[Substitution]

Neither am I.

Look, trust me when I say, you have no idea.

Though if we're going to talk about my childhood stupidity, It's for the best we move this. I'm running out of terrible Smash memories.

 

[mimgrim]

Look, trust me when I say, you have no idea.

I've talked with grown-up you. I think I have an idea.
