Oh man, Captain Falcon on Great Smash Ball:

"Falcon Falcon Falcon Falcon Falcon Falcon Falcon Falcon Kick!!"

Hehe. Me too. Was a complete fluke the first time it happened but then I just had to keep doing it. 
It was noted on the puff-puff Jessica stage that apart from when you respawn it seemed only Piranha Plant could get up there to the hair platform on his own during normal play. Good camping ground, so maybe some platform or some other way to get up there.

Thanks for the games.

Yep, that was actually somewhat intentional. You see Hero can also get up there if you time his jumps right and fully charge his up B.
The idea was to give him a slight advantage on that stage (similar to what I did with the R.O.B one, where R.O.B's final smash can trigger the stage collapsing ) but as you saw, Piranha Plant can also get up there, and quite a lot of characters can actually, but obviously not everyone, so yeah, it isn't particularly balanced.

It's not possible for me to add anything else to that stage though, as the weight limit has been reached, and then some.
So let's just all agree to no camping on there!

Actually, I think this is my preferred solution.

I like stages where some characters might have an inherent advantage, it can make the random character choice feel a bit more dynamic. In this case, having a "Safe Zone" for when someone gets a Final Smash or an item that is immensely powerful, but temporary, like the hammer, to escape to, is fine by me.

But you do need a Gentleman's Agreement to not bring the pace of the match to an absolute halt by exploiting it.

I'm holding back on the theme night so RedShell can take part.

So Time format tonight from 8pm. (No custom stages, so we can start later tonight)

[BowserBasher]

I can be on early if you want a few 1v1 games @Glen-i even just 10 minutes.

I mean, I don't mind opening the room at half 7 if you want to.

[Ike]

Sorry, might not be able to make it tonight. Will join if I can later.

[S.C.G]

Thanks for the games.

(After a ropey couple of weeks, we're back to full streams and full-strength Terry tactics)

N-Europe Saturday Smash! (23/03/2024)

- - - - -

[BowserBasher]

Thanks for the great games. Most were nice and close with a number of sudden death matches. And then we still had some run away victories. 

[Glen-i]

Right, now we're doing a theme.

Princess Peach: Smashtime!

"Princess Peach: Showtime!" came out quite recently, marking the first time Peach has been the sole protagonist in a game in 19 years! So here's a theme revolving around most of the transformations she has in that game. Yes, I had to cut down on the Swordfighters to ones that almost exclusively use their sword in Smash.
Anyway, if Dillon was playable, we could've had a Cowgirl Peach representation, just saying.
Daisy's not invited, no-one likes her. Peach tolerates her, and you all know it.

Mii Swordfighter is allowed, but the Mii must actually be wielding a sword, so no Goemon, for example.

There is one costume restriction tonight.

Joker - No School Uniforms allowed

Spoiler

Battlefield
Small Battlefield
Big Battlefield
Final Destination
Peach's Castle
Hyrule Castle
Saffron City
Mushroom Kingdom
Princess Peach's Castle
Rainbow Cruise
Yoshi's Island (Melee)
Onett
Mushroom Kingdom II
Fourside
Delfino Plaza
Mushroomy Kingdom
Figure-8 Circuit
Castle Siege
3D Land
Golden Plains
Gerudo Valley
Prism Tower
Mushroom Kingdom U
Mario Galaxy
Mario Circuit
Super Mario Maker
Suzaku Castle
New Donk City Hall
Dracula's Castle
Mishima Dojo

The stages are either stages from games that Peach is in, or ones that sorta fit a location that is in Showtime.

Spoiler

Items are restricted to Mario ones.

Format - Stamina, 3 stock, 150 HP
FS Meter - On

See you at 7:30pm.

The stage is set for Peach!:

I have enough other custom stages that roughly follow the theme too.

So this would be OK then?:

Come on, we can't break the tradition of somehow shoehorning in Goemon Mii Fighter now!

It's a sword, I'll allow it.

[Glen-i]

Alright, @RedShell. Question. Did you mean for the P logo to start glowing Pink whenever Peach does her Final Smash?

Even if you didn’t, it’s still amazing anyway! Bravo!

Thanks for the games.

"Falcon... Pawwwwnch!" "Falcon Kick!" "Show ya moves, show ya moves, show ya..." "Falcon... Pawwwwwnch!"

I sure did!
Nah, just another one of those "happy little accidents", I must be the Bob Ross of Smash Bros stage building.

Anyway, cheers for the games, and for holding back the theme night.
That 4 player Peach battle was great:

You can call me Mystic Meg, because my headlines are downright prophetic!

Stamina matches tonight from 7:30pm.

[Glen-i]

I like to think I'm incredibly impartial when I say this.

Best stage ever, @RedShell. No notes. Might as well retire.

Thanks. Had a feeling you'd like that one.

Great games tonight (as always) cheers everyone.

Will have to wait for @S.C.G's vid to confirm, but I think I somehow hit myself (when playing as "Bomberman" Mii Brawler) with the Beetle!

Actually, I noticed this. Any hit to the beetle will reverse it. So you throwing it while you were in Piranha Plant's Poison Cloud was very unwise and hilarious.

Some really close matches tonight, but a really spectacular finish on the last one. I had no idea you could cancel that into a Final Smash!

[BowserBasher]

Great fun. And some great matches @RedShell to start the night off. You had the perfect Mii to counter Sephiroth’s moves there in that first fight, even then it was close. Some very funny moments throughout the night.
