I've played it recently a few times at parties and stuff. Toon Link is definitely my favorite, and Diddy Kong is my second. Never quite got to a solid third... Peach maybe?
I think I suck at it though. Albeit I held my own in Montreal, which surprised me, since you gaming nerds are usually so good at stuff.
I've played this game consistently since the day it came out (except when I was traveling) and I've never come close to getting bored of it. Such an amazing game.
I haven't played this game in over three years because I hate it, but R.O.B. was the best newcomer. Unfortunately, I don't see it returning in the next game. I also liked King Dedede though, and he seems likely to return.
My main was Falco. Ike was my other main, and Sonic too. Also, Captain Falcon. And DK, plus Dedede and Jigglypuff and Ganondorf. Mario as well, and Pikachu. Plus Squirtle and Ivysaur.
@DrFinkelstein I'd rather not get into that because it never ends well, and I don't want to turn this thread into arguments. I know I've said a few things on it here though, which you can find if you do a little searching. It was in some Smash thread and there can't be too many of those. As for the new one, I'm watching it, but haven't seen anything yet to make me optimistic. I'm actually worried about it being too much like a regular fighting game since it's being made by a fighter team, though I s'pose that's still better than Brawl which was made by an RPG team who only know spectacle and not actual gameplay. All I can say so far is that the graphics are much better, and I'm glad they don't have the dark colouring and dramatic shading that makes Brawl dull, drab, and depressing.
Just nabbed my Ancient Minister trophy and beat Tabuu!!!! Subspace complete once again! And on Hard no-less. Damn those red rings of death.... you think that's a jab at the Xbox?
I just realized... that fight may have been easier if I had used Stickers. I only put them on Mario and Captain Falcon but I never used them unless I had to. Oops...
Just unlocked Toon Link, Wolf, and Jigglypuff! Needless to say, I am so happy to have the first, the second I hope doesn't make it back into the Wii U version (or at least replaces one of the other similar characters). As for the third... I say bring her back. I know she's similar to another character but her unique moveset always makes for fun and sometimes funny matches. Also, do I have to bother spoiler tagging this stuff?
I kind of suck at this game, but it's still fun. And I did close out our Chicago session as the NW champion. (Ploot's motor skills may have been somewhat impaired, though.)
By they way, if you guys want to picture what it's like to play Zero in Smash, just imagine a never ending torrent of banana peels, downthrusts, and land mines.
I shouldn't talk, though. I use Mario and Captain Falcon's uppercut 90% of the time.
Just beat All-Star Mode with Ike on Hard with No Continues. That was fun. A little tense at the end there. My battle with Olimar I was already over 100%.
Too bad the netcode for Smash is so terrible. You could be facing my ridiculous array of smash attacks and endless spin attaks. Oh, and a healthy obsession with dodging.
