Megaman neutrual B buster shots are so good.. you can literally spam the first 3 walking up to someone and grab them for free
Little Mac is a very different character that is easy to play badly. My first match in Smash 3DS I picked him and killed myself twice with his side special. However, his ground smashes and tilts are extremely strong. He has many potential KO moves. His specials are also very powerful. His neutral special fully charged can send someone flying across the stage even at 0%. His one hit instant KO move is more or less instant, all you do is press B when you want to unleash it (though it won't automatically KO anyone. If you are at 0% you can surely survive it).
His air game is really awful though. His air attack animations are so long, so if you are off stage and try to get some air game in you're just going to fall to your death. His Up special is actually very potent as a finishing move though.
Overall he's a very fun character to use, but if you need to be agressive yet aware of the enemy as you have fewer options than a normal Smash fighter.

I understand how you feel about Little Mac (although I think the trade-off for the occasional one-hit k.o. is fair) but could you explain your issue with Megaman in more detail?
For the latter question, yes you can.
Megaman isn't bad, you have to play him differently. Use fair/bair, buster shots, and a combination of Metal Blade and Crash Bomber to zone people out, kill with bair/footstool jump/fsmash/utilt. You can do stuff like throw Metal Blade at the ground to grab it, toss it around/drop it on the enemy to set them up for up smash/fair/bair.
Avoid using dash attack too much since people can punish it, and avoid using Leaf Shield without holding a Metal Blade or item.
EDIT: wait you're saying Megaman doesn't have an air game? You can kill with uair off the top of the screen, space people with fair/bair, and dair is a good meteor smash since it's detached from his body, makes it easier to use than Mario's/Link's who have to be closer. You can also chase people off the edge and hit them with bair to kill or get them far away enough so they can't recover.
It's good, throw them into the star. You're welcome.
Anybody have a translation for the second challenge board?
Finished the first one.
I know ZeRo is a competitive player so he's not crap at the game.
So confused, lol.
I've enjoyed my time with megaman. His unique spacing centric gameplay is fun and interesting. He has great recovery and can K.O. Pretty reliably at decent %s.

Thats a little hard to do when theres no c button and you need to do that to do smash attacks becuase 75% of the time it doesnt do what you want. lol
Now seriously, the controls are suboptimal, even whn you have the chance to change the jump and all that jazz. Smash seems that at the end of the day doesn't fit well as a portable game.

I only played him briefly in the demo but Megaman seemed better than people were making him out to be. I recall his Bair being pretty good.

Megaton, please be more than one track, I need that Yamane goodness.
Yeah the thing is that Megaman doesn't really have any combos, he has great grab range but no good follow ups after it. You have to play him differently.
bair is awesome for killing and chasing people off the ledge.

Can anyone tell me what the All-Star character trophies say? I was just wondering if they just talk about stuff like their attacks, or if they give you more information about the character in his or her canon.

I have one and it definitely makes a difference. I bought it when I first got my 3DS because when playing MK7 and KIU I was getting terrible cramps when playing. Been using it with the demo and I think I'd have the same problem if I wasn't to use it. Recommended.

Michelangelo painted the Sistine Chapel. Yabuki turned off voice chat in Mario Kart races. True artists of their time.
Yeah, his up-smash and up-air are great, too. He's just really different, so it's hard to adapt to his play-style. Not an up-close-and-personal type character. His jab/buster can cancel many projectiles and destroy items. Up-tilt (uppercut) is a great kill move if you can connect - usually when the opponent is airborne.

I use this Hori Racing Wheel to make my 3DS practical for long play sessions in my large hands. It gives so much grip space and makes the shoulder buttons larger. Feels so good. Highly recommended if you have a non-XL 3DS.
The R button has started to stick after two years of use, but for less than $10 I will just order another.

Listening to the music on that YouTube channel.
Ooh, that "To Each Future" in the N's Castle Medley.

"Lucas used to be weak-willed, and cry all the time. However, he overcame unimaginable hardships, and must surely be out adventuring somewhere right now. Or perhaps, he's found a partner and made a family of his own... No, no, that feels too soon. To fans of the MOTHER series, both Lucas and Ness might be young boys for all eternity."

One of Doc's victory animation is amazing
He leans forward, holding his chin, and just stares at the screen with a hilarious angry expression.
I love it :lol

That leaves just Roy (FE), Young Link, and Snake for cut veterans to discover (though we know we won't find Snake or Young Link).
Still surprised there's no trophy of Ridley, Isaac, or Ray MK II/III found yet.

Yeeowch.

I find it strange that Wolf is the only "veteran trophy" not in his Brawl look.

We might be able to, but from the beginning Sakurai envisioned 3DS being the more solitary experience based around growing your fighters & Wii U being the "stadium" where players gather to show off their built up fighters.

For this best main theme ever made, the soul calibur vibe is now confirmed.

Why do people still pronounce it as "ey-ther"
Translation of Lucas' trophy :

Or perhaps, he's found a partner and made a family of his own... No, no, that feels too soon. To fans of the MOTHER series, both Lucas and Ness might be young boys for all eternity."
I'm... confused, and sad. Really sad.

Man. I'm starting to really hope custom moves are worked into competitive play. Some of these are just really awesome. They probably won't be though.
Swords don't work that way, Ike.

And no one still has made a translation to Wolf's trophy
....Yeah that's definitely better than his regular up B for recovery lol. Now I want to see the 3rd variation.
I love her.
She's a pretty cool character too. She seems like a faster marth, not as many tippers but better all around damage.

Crazy good, from what has been shown so far it seems customized attacks are almost always preferred over the basic versions.

I have a JPN 3DS. I could get the game since last friday my time. I still don't have it and don't plan to either :| I'm just not hyped at all to be honest
I really really loved Smash 64 and spent loads of time on it, but that's really the only one that stuck with me.
I'll see if I'll be more hyped for the Wii U version or not.
That said, I hope you all have a blast with it!

Bought Earthbound on the Wii U eShop after listening to the new Mother tracks and seeing the Magicant stage lol.
Gonna try and get into it this time, didn't click with me last time I played it for some reason.
