It's because of all the eggs he's been chucking, of course.
Back when I played Brawl competitively, those things would be on the screen constantly.
RE: Uprising controls:
Use your pinkies to balance the system. I play without the stand, and with 3D on full blast. I'm using an XL. It works fine.
Be sure to dial up the turning and aiming speed, and max out the stopping for each. This way you have super-precise control with quick flicks/taps of the touchscreen. We're talking like KBM levels of twitch-action here. Along with the "tap Circle Pad to dash/dodge/charge shot" function, the control scheme comes together so beautifully...
Except for scrolling through a list of bit-sized icons for the (optional) special powers. That feature is clumsy no matter how you approach it.
Also, UPRISING IS SO GOOD. Sakurai's masterwork. Play it!

Like most memes, it's overplayed and long outstayed its welcome.

They have big eggs, big noses, and big tongues? \kappa

Exactly, they said at least 1 newcomer and 2 veterans for direct
No, I wouldn't recommend it unless you've tried other in place method for a few chapters and REALLY hated it
It won't last.

So here's a fun question to kill some time tonight, looking back on the past Smash Bros games specifically new comers. In each version of Smash Bros including the upcoming Smash 4, what new comers were you most excited to play that you ended up not liking, and which newcomers did you not care at all about and ended up really enjoying?
Personally for me
Smash 64: Excited for Link and Samus didn't like playing as them, no interest in Jigglypuff and Falcon loved playing as them
Melee: Excited for Bowser didn't like playing as him, no interest in Ice Climbers and ended up loving to play as them
Brawl: Excited for Meta Knight and Pit didn't like playing as them, no interest in Rob and ended up loving to play as him
Currently for Smash 4: Excited for Greninja and Mega Man, no interest in WFT

When the meme overstays its welcome, Alfonso jumps in!
Alfonso: Leave it to me!
Much more precise and involved (particularly for ground segments), but at a basic level yes.

Nicely played
Come to think of it, they do have some similarities, but in Uprising you're moving a character through dungeon-like levels, of course. You move forward and backward with the Circle Pad, you turn with the stylus, you strafe left and right with the Circle Pad, and tapping in any direction makes you dash in that direction, which also allows you to phase through incoming attacks unharmed. And if combined with a shot (the L trigger), dashing results in a special power shot, with each of the hundreds of weapons having unique shots for forward, backwards and side shots. Also, turning with the stylus is comparable to a trackball, or spinning a globe -- quick flick to the left sends the camera spinning leftward; tap again to stop it in place. Very twitchy, and allows for an amazing degree of control comparable to playing a FPS on a PC with a keyboard and mouse. It's a brilliant control scheme, but it strains the hands a bit as you acclimate to it.

Hand position wise I wouldsay it's very similar, but you have to be aware of a few more buttons and camera is like spinning a globe
I don't use my pinkies personally, but the point is your right hand shouldn't be separated from the system. It should help support the system in some way. Oh and yes to all of the reccomended stopping speeds and sensitivity

Do we have to limit it to newcomers? For me, I had no interest in Yoshi coming into Brawl and he ended up as my main.
I still don't like playing as him in 64 and Melee, by the way.
p.sure you're just proving his point.

we can have Squrtle/Ivysaur/blastoise be with pokemon trainer now
Charazard will just get water on his tail and die >

The idea is that with vets you have an idea of how they've played before, obviously with new physics and tweaks a main can become someone you don't play or someone you don't play can become a main but that's a different question that takes a bit more time to answer.
Understand your point exactly how I felt with Mr G&W going from melee to brawl

Ditto on the MetaKnight and Pit part! The first time I used Pit and realized how spammy he was I thought "No, this is not ok." When I saw that Wolf was in the game, I had a lukewarm reaction. But then I played him, and it clicked perfectly for me
except for that side-B
You seem stressed. Maybe you need someone to "take over" your duty as a poster.
I'm going to come back tomorrow after everyone stops repeatedly mentioning that this is a new thread, so that we can get back to the really important topics, like what color Sakurai's shirt will be when he announces that Ridley will be a stage hazard.

This is how I play with my pinkies, minus the XL and minus the 3D.
It took me a while to get used to the controls, but the game is so worth it. Amazing gameplay and very clever dialogue.

It's bad I've rewatched that direct like 4 times, plus I've watched all of the Game Explain analysis stuff, some of it twice. I haven't even checked out any other video analysis

Palyed Melee at friend's house after release, but I was a pokemon fan and was excited for MEwtwo. Didn't really care for him afterwards
Loved yoshi, link, G&M, and coming back to it these days, Ness.
Indifferent when I played Lucario despite previously being hyped for him
Meh with Sonic before release, but there was a good deal of time afterwards where I mained him
Same deal with ROB
Hmm, I always wanted to get the game but something always comes up. I'll make sure to get the game for reals.

What was the original title?
You'll be blown away by how good it is. You'll also be astounded by what Sakurai can do and how creative he can be. He wrote the script and the pacing, the characters, the humor, the twists and turns, the themes -- all impeccable. It makes the decision to outsource the Subspace Emissary to the FFVII writer seem like such a waste when Sakurai could've done something a trillion times better himself.

Yoshi's alt:
That's silly. With Sakurai's style, his shirt is going to be ALL of the colors, except for purple. He knows what purple means to the fans

Even as a left-handed player I've never had a problem with KIU's controls, to be honest. The only game I've ever really struggled with being left-handed in is Dillion's Rolling Western and even then, I thought myself to play around it. Speaking of (repeating myself), although probably a sticker, Dillion as an AT would be pretty dope in my opinion.
It's actually worse.

You know, this was actually better than the new one. =/
There are amazing thread title suggestions all over the place, why can't we just use one of them?

I think the one I came up with earlier "Ridley is too boss to be playable" is also better. But I'm probably biased

If Smash 4 does have both WFT and Chrous Guy from Rhythm Heaven I'm honestly not sure where Sakurai can even go from there to one up his "WTF" picks
