Unsurprisingly, Ness is still my strongest character. I mained him in every game except Brawl, where I mained Lucas and had him as a secondary.

 

There are so many characters I'm liking. I'm experimenting with so many that I'm not getting very good at any one of them. Robin, Toon Link, Mega Man, Bowser Jr. and  Mii Gunner are the big ones I've been working on.

 

Smash run is WAY more fun than I thought it would be. The enemies are awesome, running the gamut from simple to terrifying boss-types. Too bad I don't have more people to play it with here.

 

DCEnygma: Odd ... I've experienced very few problems with online play, and my internet sucks. The only time I ever had a problem was when another computer was doing something bandwidth-intensive.

Btw, are any of you guys finding the "New Challenger" fights to be a lot more difficult than in Brawl?

 

Yes! Half of the unlockable characters took 2 tries or more (Curse you and your Counter spamming, Lucina! She gave me the most trouble, requiring about 5 attempts) to beat.

 

Progress: Got all the unlockable characters and almost every stage (Flat Zone 2 hasn't been unlocked yet despite getting Mr. Game & Watch. I have to get the 2nd page of Challenges to get it. I only have 7 or 8 challenges left in the first page, and none of them sound too hard).

 

Online is fun when it works (Encountered a few brief instances of lag, but nothing that made matches unplayable. Error codes were a bigger annoyance, however. My first online match abruptly ended because of one, and it's also annoying when they pop up when matchmaking).

So ... I just beat Lucina with Robin, and his victory quote changed to "Lucina ... I hope I didn't hurt you."  Awesome.

Lucina also trash talks Ike if you beat him.

I haven't gotten around to trying out the other fighters quite yet but Lucina is a strong contender for new main. I like how she feels ( sorry I'll leave) and also I just love her character in general, so there's that. I just unlocked Duck Hunt Dog earlier on break at work, so I'll get to see what he's like.

I've grown very attache to Lucina. It's funny, because I never used Marth like, at all! I'm also starting to like Rosalina more.

[thepsynergist]

Lucina plays like Marth used to.  She's my new main as well.  

 

On a side note: THIS FEELS LIKE THE BEST SMASH TO DATE!

Online so far I've 5 wins and 0 losses.  Adjusting to the lag a bit, but it's very smooth.  I've only had one instance that it didn't work very well and I got huge spikes (that was due to 4 player, I'm sure of it.)

 

Next to Lucina, I've grown attached to Little Mac.  3rd best would have to be Mii Fighter.  I still have 5 more guys to unlock but I've only owned the game for 3 hours.

Oh boy, I took my first snapshot!

 

 

And there's my new main.  I can't help it, just look at those eyes and that smile.  Who's a good boy?  Who throws clay pigeons for me, and summons wild gunmen?

 

Ahem, erhm.  Yep.  I could say I'm a bit disappointed with how fast unlocking is going, but at least it's not "Do 666 vs. matches to unlock this one character".  I kiiinda prefer this over that.  And there's plenty to do with unlocking custom moves, which...while some are really subpar, others are absolutely great.

I'm trying to get good with Palutena, but her moves leave her open for, like, a year.

I unlocked everything in Brawl in 1 day, but then again, I was crazy as a senior in High School.

Holy living sh*t, what?  After one day I probably had about 3 characters unlocked.

 

Anyway, I do agree that the challenger battles are unnecessarily hard, especially considering how easy it is to get to them.  My current main is Bowser Jr. (I prefer the Ludwig skin) and my secondary is probably the Mii Swordsman.

As fun as unlocking characters is, that's not really where the fun or the value of SSB is. It's probably good design to some extent... I dunno. It gives something to work towards, giving solo players more incentive to get good.

[Dawnlight]

Robin looks like he's going to be my main. Oh a side note, what do you guys think of the new Pit? I personally like this nerfed version (if you can say he's nerfed ). His Side+B is like Captain Falcon's Side+B lol.

 

So are Palutena's moves meant for countering in mind? Lately I've been using just A Moves with her.

[thepsynergist]

So, are we going to have a tournament anytime soon?  I think we should, even if only for fun.

I definitely agree with this; it'd be really fun! Just let me get better at my main character, even if I can already beat a Level 9 easily.
