Nintendo's favorite fighter franchise makes its first foray into the handheld world. Here is the place to post your impressions and discuss your favorite modes, characters, strategies and anything else related to Sakurai's baby.
So I still need help on Cruel Smash with 4 kills... any suggestions? I've tried Shulk but can't seem to activate his counter. Kirby is slow and inconsistent. I suck with Little Mac. Ike managed 2 kills but it's still really hard. Any easy tricks?
Get either Kirby or King Dedede, inhale and then spit out baddies just barely off Battlefield. Their recovery is awful, and they won't chase you so much off-stage, so it's a strategy safe enough for the amount of kills you need. I remember watching a guide to this on GameXplain.
I just used Marth's counter. Didn't have too much trouble with it--might be up to luck. Try spamming the move and hoping that they attack you at the right time.
Dunno if you're a Ness user, but I got 8 KOs by jumping offstage and PK Thunder-ing myself into opponents over and over again. It did take several tries to get that many though.
EDIT: Crud, you get a notification for getting 10 KOs? I might have to go for that next...
As a matter of fact, I have never tried it with Kirby before. Just did it with him and it took me some 20 attempts, but I just did precisely 10 KOs, using the method. The secret to doing this with Kirby is to use the Final Cutter constantly to get a hold on the ledge without the edge-guarding chaos. Also, you need to be careful, because even when the Mii Fighter is out of jumps, it may still try shuffle in the air to footstool you to death. My current record is 16 KOs with King Dedede.
Using counter is probably easier, but the inhaling trick the way I did it.
This is totally anecdotal, but has anyone else noticed that certain stages are more likely to lag online? For me, it seems like stages where the background frequently scrolls or changes stutter more frequently. Like in my matches with Hero_Of_Hyrule yesterday, the Spirit Tracks and PictoChat stages (FD versions) were a lot more stuttery than our other matches. Anyone else noticing this?
I've only played online once. Did "ok" I guess. Still annoys me that there is no way to track your record unless you only play the boring stages. I think I won more than I lost but Nintendo doesn't want me to know if I did or not for some reason.

That ruins the fun for some people (me included). So it would be nice, I guess, if there was a ranked fun mode, but scoring the regular mode would cause many off us to not play online any more.
@nate38 The only stage that causes major slowdown for me is Find Mii, and that's ONLY when playing locally. Very strange.
@Cubed777 That said, I'd love for there to be a 1 vs. 1 "For Fun" mode. I love 1 vs. 1 and I like items and fun stages. Unfortunately, all my 1v1 action has to be on itemless FD stages. Boo.
