Wow, a year already. I still play Smash 3DS from time to time. There's a certain charm to this game's scaled down graphics that I find appealing. I'm at 119 hours clocked on the 3DS version, just a hour shy of being my most played 3DS game.

At launch, the guy at gamestop was nice enough to let us come in and open up our copies of the game two hours before midnight. We couldn't leave the store, but it was still cool to get to play it early.

Who was the first character you used when you got the game? I picked Robin because he/she was the character I was most excited for.

On my first match I was using Captain Falcon against Palutena on Arena Ferox, all items on. I was sitting on the store's floor with my buds at the time.

The day I got this game was memorable, since there were some good moments on our way to the store. It was a long trip of taking 2 bus rides (had to go to state university first to meet everybody before going to the other side of town) and pretty unsafe, unplanned walking on roads and viaducts without sidewalks. When we got there, they only had one copy reserved for me, instead of 5, which was the number I asked for on the phone and confirmed through e-mail. Still, luck was with us as there were exactly 4 spare copies left on the shelves, so we all got Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS on that day. I had a great time and the game was more like a cherry on top of it. It's all about the journey and not the Final Destination, it seems.
When I finally get sick-tired and stop playing it, it'll still serve as a memento, so that's neat.

Had an epic battle the other night. I saved the replay, and it is below for your viewing pleasure. I'm playing as Mewtwo, and my opponent is Lucas. I like to call this video "Never Give Up! Trust Your Instincts!" Please enjoy.

I counted roughly 84 ground dodges from Mewtwo in that match. That's an average of 17.68 dodges per minute, or a dodge every 3.38 seconds.

Ha ha, I dodge a lot, I guess! Though it's mostly just to move around the stage. I rarely dodge to...dodge. I found it's quicker than actually running from one side to the other, for most characters. Exceptions are characters like Fox, Captain Falcon and Sonic.

It's a good way to quickly create space without turning your back to your opponent or opening yourself up with the long animation that plays when you stop dashing. Maybe a bit too good considering how hard it is to hit people between dodges (especially with lag)

@GameDadGrant

The blow you took with 1:30 left in the battle looked decisive. Nice job coming back from that to win the match!

I have a theory. One of the new DLC characters will be Chibi-Robo. For obvious reasons.

@Octorockin

Thanks! It was a nail-biter for sure!

@GameDadGrant

It's possible. I always thought Chibi-Robo would be a decent Smash newcomer, representing a franchise that has no representation yet. Did his newest game do all that well, though?

@TriforceBun

Not sure if we got sales numbers yet. I imagine it will do pretty well, thanks to the included Amiibo.

Well, Bayonetta was a surprise! But she looks like she might be a cool fighter. I guess we'll see. In the meantime, can we just take a moment and just bask in the awesomeness that is this?


Cloud is in Smash. A dream come true.

A video from Negative World's Thursday Night Throwdown! It's Octorockin (Donkey Kong) vs. GameDadGrant (Pikachu). Enjoy the video below. It was a close one!

Hey, Paul? If you could stop curb-stomping our butts into a bloody pulp for like, one second? That'd be great. Thanks buddy!

@GameDadGrant
I was happily surprised my random time logging in coincided with you and your friend.
Thanks for the games, Grant. I needed that.

@ploot

Yeah, it was good timing, *and* good times! I wish I could have put up a better fight...but I was unable. I...I lost face. And now I have a bruised ego.

*goes into corner and cries*

But yeah, anytime you see me online, feel free to join! The more, the merrier, as they say.

P.S. I wish I would have saved some of those fights! I always meant to grab some of them (particularly the one where you played as Link) but I kept spamming the 'A' button after each match, rather mindlessly. D'oh! It would have been cool to show off those battles with you - some of them were real nail-biters!

Also, if you guys have nearly 12 minutes of free time, check out this battle between me (Pac-Man) and my buddy Rocco (Villager) in this epic online battle. @ploot, this was the guy you were playing with (along with me), last night!

Good games tonight, Fabien! Thanks for playing!

More craziness from several weeks past. I would have uploaded these sooner, but...I'm forgetful.

Both videos are me versus Negative World's own Octorockin! He played as Shulk both times. Enjoy!

Man, I still don't know how this happened.

@GameDadGrant
He was all over you at the start. It always feels great to pull off a victory in those circumstances!
