secret pay-to-win tactic? Dern Nintendo

i'm betting my chips that Lucas will be top 5 because he's ness
I dunno if they'd really do that, I'm more expecting every DLC character to be average at best
but you never know!

The only thing that has me intrigued about Lucas is what is usmash (if it isn't nerfed) will be like in a game where airdodges have landing lag, I'm expecting him to be :4mewtwo: tier otherwise.

Recording some combos for documentation/GIF'cation at the moment.

sakurai will buff lucas. just wait and see

edit: Everyone's right on spot though about Lucas (in all seriousness). If he isn't that significantly changed from Brawl, he probably will still be worse than Ness

o

all dlc characters will suck

except for the last one who will be top 5 if not #1

that way everyone will buy the characters they like before the character people buy to win comes out
*GASP* How dare you!? I'll have you know that Seagull Joe and Chillin are secretly working with Nintendo to insure that Wolf is a good, but not broken character who will retake his place as the 14th best character in Smash! He's gonna be the one to take them down. :p

He's Ness

Without his holdy PK fire

Without his FAir

Without his NAir

Without his KO up b 2

Without his Bthrow

Slower attacks overall if we're looking at Brawl Lucas as a base.

Easily a trash version of Ness.

ness' pk fire is a scrub move
ness' fair is a scrub move
ness' nair is a scrub move
ness' pk thunder 2 is a scrub move
ness' bthrow is a scrub move

Scrub-ish moves overall. Ness confirmed 3rd scrubmaster.

Not sure about Wolf but chain grabs don't exist in Smash 4. That's actually amazing news for Wolf and his viability if ever he gets into the game

It's kinda hard to tell what is going to happen to Lucas as far as competitive viability is concerned.

Lucas doesn't have as poor of a recovery as Ness does thanks to his tether grab and it's buffed range, plus his F-Smash doesn't take a year to come out so it's probably going to be a slightly better reflector. His B-Air is a better meteor than Ness's D-Air...

Lucas doesn't have what makes Ness that good, but he does have some advantages of his own.

I also wonder if they're going to keep some of Lucas's techs like the zap jump.

I think the main things that made Lucas chosen over Ness for people who liked those type of characters (recovery, namely) aren't a big deal in this game, so I really think Lucas is going to be significantly worse than Ness if he's more or less the same as Brawl.

No Wolf please. All they know how to do is bair.
Meanwhile, SSB4 Diddy, Mewtwo, Sheik, Captain Falcon, Lucina, Fox, Shulk, Mega Man, Olimar, Mii Brawler, Ganondorf, and Zelda; Brawl Falco, Meta Knight, Ike, and Ice Climbers; Melee Fox, Falco, and Roy; and 64 Kirby. :p

PM Wolf does a lot more Dash Attack, Fair, and Dair alongside Bair. :p

Chain grabs don't exist in PM, right? Well, it didn't stop him from getting grabbed over and over until he died in that game either. I mean, SSB4 Luigi is just grab-man; we should all have restraining orders against him to stop his groping rampage. :p

And with a crap grab.

And a worse PK Thunder for juggling.

Mewtwo got a dumbstrong usmash but I'm pretty sure Lucas usmash hitboxes were 1000x better so we'll see I guess

I miss the early days of Smash 4, when a Ness would try to absorb a fully charged Phantom with their PK Magnet...and would end up absorbing it with their face instead. :chuckle:

In the early days of Smash 4 Olimar was considered low tier. I am actually one of the very few people who didn't think so. Maybe it had something to do with that glitch where the pikmin just desync and died falling off the ledge like lemmings.

Today I met a really bad Falco main.

Seriously, all he did was spam his laser. He managed to KO himself after I forward Smashed him off the screen.

Or they don't want some evil being who ripped them from the ground by their heads dictating how they're to die.
Whenever I try playing against an Olimar as Sheik, it's really annoying. The Pikmin seem to catch every needle and Bouncing Fish I throw at Olimar because he's tossing them all the time.

"Maybe I should play FG"

>router resets itself midmatch

ok that was a terrible idea anyway

What I should actually do is fiddle with the alert sounds on my phone, haven't changed my ringtone in awhile and I still have the stock text message notification.

Might pick up Lucina as a secondary. She WAS my first secondary in Smash 4 and her playstyle is all about spacing so I won't need to have a different mindset when playing as her

It's a rare occasion where I can play somebody for a short while. Any console for about 30mins.

what I read;
"I feel like hurting myself"
router "I got you"

I could, but I'd have to add you first, I was just hoping for the MK update anyways

Random note of the day:

Favorite Melee players are HBox, Armada, and Mango (even as a Marth player lol, but I love watching PPMD and M2K's matches)

I tried spreading the word about how annoying Olimar can get. But they didn't listen, most likely due to lack of representation.
Don't get me started on what people thought of Mega man then. I'm glad people had started to wise up after a while.

Characters that are 'balanced' will always have low representations in tournaments. People aim to win.

mine is angrybox which is just hungrybox when he decides to disrespect and ****s on leffen
Sandstorm might actually have been darude trainwreck, but that one set alone was worth that tournament

Guys, for some reason this whole avatar thing got me a bit down.

I mean, I wanted a movement (revolution?) around it back there with the staff and I kind of got it, but ultimately nothing actually changed (media still gets flagged, slight feelings of "improper" lead to a prosecution, and the bar is very, very low in that regard, and apparently it will get even lower) and I even feel I was scolded by an admin I appreciate a lot, but I don't want to step back on what I decided and and and... I don't know anymore.

On the bright side, some people seemed to be on my side. That feels good actually.

Yo Philoz, how are you? Back from exams?

Seems like you actually worked your butt and browsed through all the missed pages (got some random likes). I usually skip so I applaud you for actually browsing through it.


I'm still at confusion though at how the avatar's considered inappropriate but that's not what salted me anyway

Do what I do: post vague/cryptic references to questionable subjects and no one will be any the wiser :smirk:
