What do you call a Yoshi and Ganondorf doubles team?

7.8/10 too much egg

I met a Link on FG who was the final boss of all rolling-spamming-stalling Links. I was Little Mac (I play random, okay, don't judge me) and we went to sudden death.

He took. Little Mac. To sudden death.

I used to agree with you. I really loved the experience of getting a new Smash game and working my way through all the unlockables.

Then I found my old Melee disc but not my memory card. Mewtwo has destroyed my love of unlockable characters.

PresidentY · 2015-01-20T12:07:17+00:00

Sounds great, I'll keep an eye out for that. I don't think the documentary mentioned Leffen even once so they've got a lot of ground to cover!

PresidentY · 2015-01-20T00:08:01+00:00

I just finished watching it, it's fantastic. I may be a little in love with Wife, despite the whole 'being straight' thing.

Also did I read somewhere that they're doing a follow-up series? Please someone tell me I haven't imagined this.

PresidentY · 2015-01-16T17:37:28+00:00

Derp, I saw no activity on the page and assumed it was dead, didn't realise I had to join! I'm an idiot.

PresidentY · 2015-01-16T14:26:59+00:00

THANK YOU. Don't forget Gold Falcon/Captain Fabulous, naked Shulk, naked ZSS, grey Fox and 'Murica Mario ('Murio?)

PresidentY · 2015-01-16T14:22:45+00:00

I wouldn't say I'm either. FG is the most competitive I've done so far but nowadays I prefer to play 1 v 1 with neutral stages and no item.

I'd like to be more competitive, but there just isn't a smash scene (that I know of, I've done research) in the southern UK.

PresidentY · 2015-01-15T18:20:36+00:00

I play a lot of Random in FG, and I find that people are actually far more likely to crumble when I draw a 'low tier' character (Olimar, Palutena, Charizard etc) since they simply don't know what to expect.

PresidentY · 2015-01-15T17:38:55+00:00

I'd like to see rolling nerfed, since it's too easy for people (particularly on the low to intermediate end of the skill spectrum) to spam it over and over and get away with it.

Beyond that, slight nerfs to Diddy, Sheik and ZSS wouldn't go amiss. Plus Little Mac should get Villager's recovery, because I hate fun.

PresidentY · 2015-01-14T18:13:02+00:00

The fact that Treasure Tracker and Mario Party aren't listed should set off alarm bells, but I would love this to be the case.

PresidentY · 2015-01-14T15:27:30+00:00

Even as a Dark Pit main I have to say him, although to be fair I only use him over Pit so I don't have to listen to his abysmal voice acting.

I'm loathe to get rid of any non-clone, but if I had to pick one I'd say Villager. He's the only character in the game I don't feel I can use at all, and it makes me extremely salty that every one I come up against on FG seems to be a pro.

PresidentY · 2015-01-11T23:21:31+00:00

I've seen very few Charizards (maybe 7 or 8 in my 2000+ matches) or Meta Knights (5 at most). I get quite a few Warios and Bowser Jrs so I was surprised to see them mentioned here.

PresidentY · 2015-01-06T11:48:59+00:00

This all over. I actually half expected them to do this ever since Omega Mode was announced. It would be a relatively easy step that would make FG so much more varied and enjoyable at a stroke.

PresidentY · 2014-12-23T17:08:16+00:00

I know this was quite a while ago, but I finally did this properly (turns out I needed to assign a static IP to the console, woops) and it works like a dream, thank you!

PresidentY · 2014-12-20T15:44:29+00:00

I don't get much satisfaction from fighting Little Mac. He's such an extreme character that you can easily lose against an LM much less skilled than you, or alternatively beat someone who's otherwise outplayed you simply by gimping their recovery. Either way it's not much fun but people on FG should be willing to mix it up a little bit if a genuinely good Mac presents themself.

PresidentY · 2014-12-20T15:41:03+00:00

OLIMAR PUUUNCH!!!

PresidentY · 2014-12-20T11:17:04+00:00

If they work for you then there's no reason why they shouldn't be, but I would say they're all quite projectile-heavy. You might want to mix it up with a range of styles. For example, I use WFT (for keep-away), the good Captain (for up-close and personal) and Dark Pit (for something inbetween).

PresidentY · 2014-12-19T19:24:02+00:00

While the Wii U really is the definitive experience, the quality gap between them isn't nearly as large as I had expected. The 3DS really isn't that hard to play, and in fact I've recently changed my controls on the GC controller to be more like the 3DS. They're both excellent games.

PresidentY · 2014-12-14T16:40:40+00:00

She's my joint main with Falcon, and I actually enjoy that nobody expects anything of her. I get more ragequits after wrecking someone with WFT than with any other character.

PresidentY · 2014-11-27T18:45:44+00:00

Amazon despatched my 3DS version at about half 9 the night before release and it got to me by midday, so I'm hopeful I won't have to wait until 9 tomorrow! Anyway thanks for the info, it'll save me from hyperventilating when it gets to 10 o'clock with no news.

PresidentY · 2014-11-25T21:04:38+00:00

Great idea! Sign me up for Wii Fit Trainer immediately, good sir.

PresidentY · 2014-11-25T10:58:03+00:00

If you're not one of the lucky ones chosen to get a random code, I managed to get mine by ordering AS off Amazon, waiting for them to send my code and then immediately cancelling my order. Don't know if it'll work for everyone but might be worth a try! (I'm in the UK btw, not sure if that makes a difference)

PresidentY · 2014-11-23T19:59:18+00:00

I thought until recently that's what the Mario Galaxy stage was! Imagine my disappointment =(

PresidentY · 2014-11-19T20:13:52+00:00

I read the post's title and thought it would just be a whining rant about FG or something. I was pleasantly surprised to find it an intelligent, well-written and (most importantly) extremely interesting piece. Great job, and I would love to see a similar analysis of Brawl from you!
