Yeah, you just gotta keep practicing that one. If you dodge the 4, you can just block the 5th, if it's too hard to dodge. Or, conversely, block the 4, then run away for the 5th.

Ah, not that one. I mean that attack where he slowly homes in on your character, begins this spherical slash frenzy (trapping you), then slapping you into oblivion.

You know, I really like how the trophy descriptions are handled this time. It almost seems like they're diary entries of Sakurai's journal on all the characters haha

Brawl's were like boring descriptions taken out of Wikipedia or tvtropes, while being completely careless about spoilers.

Interestingly enough, the trophy descriptions were written by my buddy Akihiro Toda, the man responsible for writing much of the dialogue in Mother 3 as well as everyone's favorite digital acid trip, a.k.a. Moonside in Mother 2.

Guys...

Kirby basically replaced Ice Climbers...

I can just picture the BitF strip now: Kirby inhales the IC and walks over to the Smash 4/5 registration with the two of them still in his mouth.

Nevermind, it's not tetris, it's that one game. Ketzal's corridors?

Here is the grand prize for 9.0!

EL OH EL. Okay, better to prepare myself for the disappointment. Also, congrats! :D

Does Little Mac have any custom moves that help his recovery ability a little bit?

Unfortunately, no. One of Custom Side Specials actually decreases the distance traveled and brings him down faster. :(

To everyone who has the Japanese version: Who is your favorite character to play as so far?

Little Mac and Palutena! I've also been playing a little Ness. Peach is too difficult for me control on the 3DS; I've been having trouble effectively executing floating aerials without accidentally performing a special or something else. Really want to get into Greninja and Robin as well, maybe even one of the Pits.

And then considering
just how tragic the final battle is, with said brother beating down his own father, then finally coming to his senses... and promptly killing himself with electricity and dying in your arms.
Lucas must be one messed-up kid.

And then we add the music that bring it all together. The tears...

Whoo, I just went 3-0 against level 9 Mario with Mega Man on Omega Battlefield. I think this might be the first Smash where I become better than slightly above average!

Anyone have any list of translated challenges? Would really like to do more of them.

Oh, that one? I block all of it, and dodge the LAST hit. And thanks! :)

When I finally won, he never used that attack on me :p A lot of it is luck, honestly. Fortunately, classic mode is realtively short, unlike some brawl modes.
 
Didn't think I would, but I think I'm officially going to switch from Marth to Lucina. It wasn't till I played her for an hour or two that I realized that Marth without the tipping mechanic and the spacing game it comes with pretty much becomes a rushdown character, which is more in line with my preferred playstyle in fighters. The arc for her spike is a lot more generous, which is nice, too.

Yeah, confirmed you can save replays after for glory matches.



Did it myself.

Once again, still no way to export these videos :/

Really hoping youtube support will be added into wii u version, or at least miiverse posting of them.

Replays aren't saved in some way to SD card?

I've heard in general that the nerfs to Marth are so notorious Lucina is the better character.
 
Holy Starstorm.

The dark side of Nintendo.
Yet at the same time it's one of the funniest games I've ever played, filled with happy and light-hearted moments. It's really worth playing, avoid spoilers if you can.

EDIT:
Interestingly enough, Japan really kinda hates MOTHER3. This may be why Ness is back in Smash while Lucas got cut.

I’m sure Nintendo wants to bury this failure of a game in the darkness forever. I bet they’re thinking on the inside, “Dammit, mind your own business and don’t bring this game back up!”
Welp.

Can anyone tell me if download play is an option? As in, for local multiplayer do you need 2/3/4 copies of Smash or can you play with just 1 copy?

What's the fastest method of unlocking custom moves?

Field Smash or Classic 8.0+ and good slots timing skills. The slots cycle through 4/5 different rewards 3 or 4 times, so it's possible to select the one you want.

I translated the second screen here. I haven't cleared anywhere near all of the third one yet, but I can type up the ones I know of later.

Huh. For some reason, shielding did me no good--I still got sucked up into the sword vortex--but I'll try again. Hopefully I get lucky like you did! :D

What is Field Smash?

Can you unlock moves in online vs.?

Field Smash = Smash Run in Japan. :p

Not sure about unlocking them online.

Thank you, and please do!

I feel silly now. I saw you translations of those and was like, "...That's it? Those are the hardest challenges the game has to offer? Wut?" Had no idea there was a third panel. Hahaha.

Just got like 5 different answers lol

From what I've gathered, you're supposed to play smash run over and over with a certain character. How many custom moves do you unlock after one smash run?

Also, do I need to wait the full fucking 5 minutes every time I do smash run? I swear the computers you fight are level 3 CPUs.

So amazing. I really like a lot of changes to most of veterans. So good. :)

I think that's the best part. Things are different, a lot of things are better, but not many are already dismissing it. People are seeing a lot of potential in this game. Yeah, it's not melee, but it's basically what brawl SHOULD have been. It's like the direction brawl was going in, but fully executed. More approachable, but not bad, dull, boring, or broken. Well, broken is hard to tell, but so far, it's definitely not bad, dull, or boring.

Replays aren't saved in some way to SD card?

They're saved to SD card, but you can't view them outside of smash bros. It saves the game data, kinda like how starcraft replays work, so that the game can reproduce the playback. It's not saving a video.

Currently, it's impossible to export the replay, or even share it w/ smash friends, afaik. You can rewatch it in game as much as you want, but that's it.
 
See anything good yet? I heard the Cyber Grips are tough to remove once placed on.

Not anything that screams "must buy!" The CYBER one seems well-reviewed. As is the dreamGEAR Comfort one. But both mention flaws that make them not a perfect solution. I don't know. I might roll the dice and get the CYBER one and see what happens.

You can't customize the time/CPU level?
 
Yes! I beat Classic Mode with everyone and Menu 2 started playing when I went to the main menu. I was worried they had taken it out since I couldn't find it in the sound test.
