f00had Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 You beat me to it :p Poor Waluigi, first Mario Kart 7 and now this... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rummy Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 I respect items, and there is skill in how you use/counter them. Nothing quiet like throwing a pokeball upward into an airborne player, and having a Pokemon get them when they land. Imagine the bastards that manage to pip you on it and catch it midair instead! That's why I love(hate) items sometimes. It takes a lot of hits to break the Smash Ball, if you're going for it then that makes you free to attacks from everyone else. You have a fair few strong Final Smashes like ROB's invincible stupid laser thing, Super Sonic, Wario man, Snake's grenade launcher... but you also have weaker ones like Peach's, Mario's, Meta Knights, Diddy Kongs, I think they should try and make every character's Final Smash even so no one is too strong or too powerful. With Super Sonic you can easily kill everyone twice but with Mario you'd be very lucky to kill anyone at all. I like to play with items, they can be a bit annoying sometimes but that keeps matches from getting boring IMO and they do add a lot of strategy to the game compared to playing without items. I tend to play the game with friends so we always have 4 players on so that's why I use items, when it's just a 1 on 1 fight then I won't use items otherwise it's easy to camp out the opponent especially when they're slower than you. I dunno about the balancing...I sort of agree but would rather a few folks had 'weaker' final smashes. For sonic in some stages you can avoid death, and if you avoid it just a bit then just angel it out while they burn out it's only one life. I actually tend to avoid the smash ball a bit myself, letting folks go for it first then attacking them for it...then getting the ball(hopefully)! Makes them very open as you said. If I've got no chance I just stay out of the way and start thinking about avoiding what might be coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.C.G Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Haha I saw that picture with Waluigi in it as I was taking a sip of tea... ...fortunately I then quickly read the words 'Assist Trophy' so all is well, glad that I didn't end up involuntarily spitting tea everywhere. :wink: I love the way Mario is peeking out over the edge with an expression that says 'I'm-a-gonna get you!' Luigi is looking as if he's staring down his arch-nemesis and Waluigi is just grimacing in pain at being 'reduced' to a mere assist trophy, even though he's never been (officially) playable in a Smash game and never will, just how it should be. :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sméagol Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Waluigi must be the one character in the Mario universe I don´t care about at all. The name alone just makes me cringe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retro_Link Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Yep same, terrible character really. Was ok and kind of a novelty in Mario Tennis 64, but just somewhat annoying since. Plus he doesn't have any sort of move set anyway. Guess he'd be a Luigi-Peach clone somewhat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fused King Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 What are the chances that Travis Touchdown makes it into the game? Ever since WiiFitTrainer was announced, anything is possible my child. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wii Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 What are the chances that Travis Touchdown makes it into the game? Anywhere between 0% and absolute 0% chance. Shulk will be a possibility eons before Travis is even contemplated. And Shulk has about a 2-4% chance. Pac-man is the only real 3rd party character with enough clout to make the cut. With Namco co-developing it's a possibility. They don't deserve it though, Namco's home console support for Nintendo has been dire. Still pissed off about Graces and every other game we've missed. In my books they're nearly as bad as Konami. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fused King Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 Too much detail, having serious doubts about a purchase now. It's amazing that, even though we get all these pictures, we still only know about 10% of this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rummy Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 He's such a fucking don! Don't know why but I absolutely love the massive heffer.

markderoos Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Yeah, Dedede was my most played character in Brawl. My friends and colleagues even forbid me to play as Dedede :P The slowly hoovering giant can of whoopass coming your way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kav Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 I do hope this is good online. I played loads of Melee with friends back in the day but Brawl never got a look in as a lot of my mates don't live close anymore and the online was so awful I just didn't bother. This game best bloody have voice chat!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh64 Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Yeah, the online is also make or break for me as pretty much none of my friends like the Smash games. Or perhaps I should just get rid of all my casual non-gamer friends :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ville Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 I think the easiest solution is that Nintendo starts shipping "Local Multiplayer Buddies" with each game. No need for online then! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
