Super Smash Bros. 3D-Specific Thread

I'm still not bored of it yet, but my commute only has another 3 weeks remaining (til after Christmas) so if I don't finish the 3rd panel by then I probably won't. Will have to get more online games in before Wii U though.

I think as soon as I clear classic with everyone I'm done, or until the 13th, which ever comes first

This is long overdue, what's everyone'a classic and all star GSP's!? Lets compare!

Mine are 1945477 for classic mode and 1751501 for all star. Pretty decent scores, I'd like to try and improve that overall classic score a bit however, but for only half the cast complete I like that all star score.

Classic is 1876683, all complete though I haven't got a completed 9.0 run yet (keep getting to sword form though)
All-Star is 1693500 for all complete

Classic: 1367567

All star: 1272235

Only finished classic with about 11 characters & about 4 or 5 in all star.

I have to do all that again as yeah I lost all the save data for smash, which was a bit annoying but then again it could have been worse

Not coming to post about my GSP - I don't really pay attention to that. Instead, coming to post about Palutena again. She's got to be better than I gave her credit for, because the level 9 CPU is brutal with her in 4-player vs. It's those long-range powerful smashes that do it. She joins Lucina and Little Mac (when he's not falling off the stage constantly) as my most challenging CPUs to fight against.

So I'm going to try to use her again, and more or less ignore her specials.

I more or less ignore most characters specials, which is probably a problem...

Speaking of lucina is it just me or does the ai have a really obnoxious amount of button input reading counter abuse for the fire emblem sword users? And shulk as well. The ai seems to constantly spam counter whenever against me, and it's rather annoying. The obvious down throw in to a combo option isn't available all the time, unlike counter which can be used anywhere.

Counter does have one perk at least, it makes the master and crazy hand fights hilariously easy due to the highly telegraphed nature of their attacks. I love killing master hand with a counter as he's doing the fly-in punch attack so he dies when he returns to his normal position after the attack rather than the moment his hp reaches zero.

Pretty much 9 out of 10 smash attacks seem to be countered which does make it highly annoying, can't believe I never though to use it against master hand though.

That's what's handy about the C stick on the new 3ds, you just spam your smash attack

I think that's the one thing I'm missing from my game in this Smash Bros, I know it's a little cheap but it's so much easier.

I wouldn't say it's cheap as doesn't it do less damage? I love to personally c-stick smash as a quick way to KO folk who are above 100% I'm so excited for wii U version now as I pre-ordered the new cube controller with the game the other day.

The AI sure does love its counters. Lucina and Mac the worst: others don't seem to be quite so bad.

Sorry about this, it's breaking away from the current discussion flow a bit, but I thought I should ask as Nintendo need a bit of a kicking for this:

Has anyone seen the advert with Olympic boxing champion and all-round nice person Nicola Adams? They create a Mii of her and have the Mii fight against Little Mac. It's a great idea, would work as an advert ploy with a lot of British people and I assume costs a bit to hire. But I've not seen it on telly, and not even at the start of another YouTube video. I actually had to click on the advert to watch it. It just seems like a waste to me.

I think the discussion flow has broken anyway, as people wait for SSBU. Nintendo have never been the best at advertising, though. *cough*Wii U*cough*

Google Nintendo Aus ads and see what we get..

Hey, New Super Mario Bros. 2's out Shanks!

Ah. I see.

I'm up for playing some people here.

Who's up for the challenge?

I think you're probably more likely to see people playing the Wii U version at the moment, Kornel (welcome to GNamer! ). No harm in trying though!

Amazingly, my Internet where I am now is even worse than my Internet at home. So I definitely won't be able to accept for the moment, I'm afraid.

Ah, good point. Thank you.

So the Amiibo update is out tomorrow I hear

I'm not too sure I'll make much use of it but it's nice to have the option, without the option of 8 players it means some of my darling Amiibo will miss out.

I'll probably set mine to the Wii U and then train them on the 3ds as it makes them level up faster.

Though I may get a dedicated Amiibo for both 3ds

Unrelated to the amiibos which I'll probably never bother with because Nintendo like being stupid idiots with artificial shortages meaning I'll never get my main and therefore have no use for them, but I've finally got back together with my beloved Marth, and it's got me back in to playing this again.

My only complaint is how stupid the ai is in All Star mode, even on Hard they're absolutely no match if you give me a half decent character. Why just the other day I woke my 3ds out of a several week long sleep mode and found I was a little way through a run with Ike. It wasn't until I finished and was told "Wow, Incredible!" that I realised I was playing on Hard. It honestly didn't feel that tough.
