I suck at Megaman.

Although I do bash heads as Lucario.

I can polymorph into Lucario. Does that count for anything?

I just played SSB4 in a Target store cuz they had a demo

My thoughts on the new characters:
Shulk: 3op5me pls nerf
Robin: not that bad, not that good
Wii Fit Trainer: meh
Bowser Jr.: A fun little character, I like using the different Koopalings.
Rosalina: meh
Palutena: meh
Little Mac: GAWD
Villager: JESUS
Greninja: MOSES
Mega Man: Awesome :3
Zero Suit Samus: BIKINILOOMYNARTY
Pac Man: Kewl

The rest of the new characters weren't in the demo. A shame, I really wanted to try Duck Hunt Dog.

So, I decided to re-watch the most recent Nintendo Direct, and I saw that the next update will feature "tweaked character balancing" So, who do you think is gonna get nerfed or buffed? Here's my predictions:

Diddy Kong: Yes, definitely. He's so well-known for that OP "Hoo-Hah" combo. I'm sure Nintendo has heard about it by now.
Sonic: The Spin Dash is probably getting nerfed. This is unfortunate for me, since I main him.

Dr. Mario: He'll most likely get SLIGHTLY better recovery. I doubt it, though.
Ganondorf: No more Ganon-ciding with his side B. They did this with Bowser, so they'll probably do it to him.
Donkey Kong: I can see some of his customs getting nerfed, but I feel like that's not very likely.

These are all I can really think of at the time.

Tbh I wouldn't want Ganoncide getting nerfed since it's way more risky than the other suicide moves unless you do it from off-stage to on-stage in which case it's really predictable. The risk is way higher, while with Bowser it's literally just Get Damage on>Sideb>steer offstage

If they were going to nerf Ganoncide or Spin Dash, I feel like it already would've happened. Both of those were already common tactics when the last update took place, so I don't see much of a reason for them to be removed now as opposed to then. Ganoncide in particular probably would've been removed alongside Bowser's flying slam suicide if it were going to happen.

Diddy Kong's probably getting nerfed though; that wouldn't surprise me at all. He wasn't really as centralizing as he is now when the first update happened, and he is pretty centralizing now. I'd guess that his down throw will gain a bit of knockback scaling in order to prevent it from hoo-hahing at high enough damage to kill; he would still be a viable combo character at low percentages but wouldn't be able to kill off a banana at 90% damage any more.

I could also see ZSSamus's boost kick getting nerfed in knockback a bit; she has some crazy bread and butter with her down throw and up aerial into that attack right now. Kills at like 50% damage. Nerf wouldn't bother me at all and she'd still be viable.

They'll probably nerf Greninja again.

...

;(

Idk, I really feel like Diddy needs a little bit a nerf. Even I have trouble beating Diddys with Sheik.

Yoshibrothers · Postby **Yoshibrothers** » Sat Apr 11, 2015 11:05 am

Diddy Kong definitely needs some nerfing. I will go into detail about why I want him to be nerfed so bad: when you enter a tournament against a Diddy Kong, you at least want to feel like you have a fair chance. Now this actually was the case beforehand. The Diddy player I faced in this tournament I had beaten on FD in the first match with ease. Everything went downhill from there. First was our next fight at Town & City. While I had the upper hand for a short time, he quickly managed to barrage me with "Hoo-Hah!" to the point where I felt defenseless. Eventually I lost due to a recovery fail, so it was more or less my fault that I lost my second stock. But this next match was just uncalled for. So then we go to the Duck Hunt stage. I decide to switch to Link, knowing that I might have somewhat of an advantage(this was a mistake to be made). I couldn't really hit him anymore. Before I knew it I lost my first stock like it was nothing. I managed to damage him enough to the point where I launched him into the air, so I tried to use Link's recovery to K.O him(and of course Link's recovery was nerfed at one point, so this wasn't going to be too easy). I get a few hits in, and SOMEHOW he manages to K.O me in the middle of it ON A LOW PERCENTAGE. Needless to say it pissed me off, and that is why Diddy should be nerfed. c:

okay seriously am i the only one who hasn't found these "op players" yet? so far the only 2 guys are annoyng to me are Robin and Sanic, and maybe Zero Suit Samus and Shulk.

i encountered 2 diddys, and i fought in 535 online matches.
yes.
and the only thing these two diddys did were failing the rocket barrell.
i must be very lucky.

FG though. There's a lot of terrible players there, and IIRC in 1200 matches or so I only fought 1 or 2 that could even use the HOO HAA. Also Yoshibrothers, do you participate in tournaments IRL? Are you also on Smashboards?

And BTW, already said it before but I'm often up for some games so just PM me. Like right now I'm free for anything. You people seriously need to learn to fear Ganondorf.

There is normally a difference between tournament players(who normally have some type of experience under their belts) and your regular online player(skill varies).

Since I literally know nobody in my area that plays smash at all, I play in Smashboards tournaments. Also, I wouldn't mind to smash with you if you're free.

Kyogokudo · Postby **Kyogokudo** » Sat Apr 11, 2015 11:58 am

Sure I'd like to play now. I'm no competitive player though, even if I play quite a lot.

Yoshibrothers · Postby **Yoshibrothers** » Sat Apr 11, 2015 11:59 am

Alright. If you wouldn't mind, meet me at #smbx.

Mewtwo is coming for those lucky club nintendo users who managed to register both games in only a couple of days! Who is hyped?

I had both version, I just didn't resister them in time. That, and my friend took my Wii U version of the resister code too.

Yoshibrothers · Postby **Yoshibrothers** » Mon Apr 13, 2015 9:23 am

Its a good thing that the Mewtwo codes are being emailed rather than being placed on Club Nintendo(I think some of us know how that normally turned out).

Mewtwo Hype

...except that I'm leaving on Tuesday and won't be back until Saturday ;__;

Also, I feel like I'm the only person that likes Dark Pit. Imo he's really enjoyable to play.

Yoshibrothers · Postby **Yoshibrothers** » Mon Apr 13, 2015 9:57 am

I've seen Dark Pit be used more than Pit in competitive matches, so there's that. I personally don't use any of the Kid Icarus characters simply because I don't enjoy playing them.
