Saw this earlier. While I choose to believe it for now, I wouldn't be surprised if its a well-made fake. I have to say though, it looks pretty good. I can't see flaws in whats been posted so far, and Nintendo did say that Ubisoft sent them an entirely new model specifically for the game, so I say its legit and I'm hyped.

I know right? Smash 3DS/U is the most addicting game I've played in ages. Competitive enough for experienced players, and accessible enough for noobs.

Been playing Smash 3DS and YGOPro recently.

If you haven't been there yet, Anther's Ladder is a great place to fight new people. Its got its own ranking system and everything (and uses tourney rules).

Wow, thats interesting. I've only found one good Olimar thus far when playing For Glory. I hope to run into this guy. Its rare that I find people that can match my Yoshi, and I'd love to see if this guy could. Do you remember his name? Maybe I could find him on SmashBoards or Anther's Ladder.

Wii Fit Trainer OP, LOL

Ridley too big, but Olimar isn't too small (resized from the original size of a quarter). Why Sakurai, why?

Newest Smash Bros 3DS patch was released (1.0.4). It gives some well deserves buffs & nerfs to characters. Thankfully, it seems Yoshi has stood his ground and had no changes other than glitch fixes.

I'll be getting it, but not at launch.

Ew. What's wrong with swimming? Killed the pace in the stages they used in Brawl. Could be better now that we don't have floaty jumps anymore, but IMO, Brawl used swimming wrong.

Ew.

I assume we're excluding Mewtwo from these 5? If so, these are the characters I'd want; Captain Toad (peer pressure got to me) King K. Rool Rayman (He got a trophy, so why not?) Paper Mario, because we need another Mario character. Ridley. I won't let go of the chance of a playable Ridley. He got two spots in the boss battles in Brawl, so why can't he be playable and a stage hazard? Toon Link conducts the train unless he is in play, in which case Alfonzo takes his place. Meta Ridley can replace Ridley if Ridley is in play, right?

Saw that. Had to change my pants. Twice. I've found me a new second main come Spring.

I hope its not ass now.

Why didn't I think of that? Thanks. Found the thread I wanted over there.

------- Could someone direct me to somewhere that I can find more people that I can battle in friendlies?

Very nice. I don't think I've gotten one of those in For Glory yet. I've gotten an 9% 2-0 victory in 18 seconds, but not any 0% victories. If anyone wants some friendlies (any type of match), I should be available for some from now til 6pm (est), so I have about 5 hours. Brought my win rate back up to 80.35%. Ain't stoppin' there if I can help it. Woo! Finally got a 0% 2 stock victory. Did it on a Kirby in exactly 30 seconds.

I don't know who my true second is now. It was Bowser Jr, but I think I've gotten better with Dr. Mario now. Bowser Jr can mix things up with projectiles galore and quick pursuits, but Dr Mario has so many different tools at his disposal, one being his Tornado which has priority over SO many things.

No prob. You should definitely give him a try. You can perform some sick stuff with his Tornado, like using it on someone trying to recover at the edge and bounce them up against the bottom to kill them. I met one guy that beat me down bad yesterday. Given I was playing as Dr. Mario instead of my main Yoshi, but still. I lost a couple percent on my win rate. I've gained one back. I've got another 27 wins to go before I have 80% again (given I don't lose again).

Dr Mario's aerials, Smashes, tilts, Up-B, and his Back-Throw (dunno why) are stronger than Mario's versions (this only accounts for identical moves, not the switches like Mario's tornado to spin kicks for Doc's D-air). Apart from the others, Doc's Up-B is now a kill move if hit on the first frame (much like Luigi's but easier to hit and not as strong). While Mario's F-Air spikes, Dr. Mario's does not, however, it is 2% stronger when hit correctly. Of course, Dr. Mario has the Mario Tornado as his D-Special, making his D-air spin kicks mentioned earlier. The Tornado has priority over many moves, such as Ganondorf's Side-B among others, and is also a kill move if you land the last hit. Using the Tornado in the air on someone with a high-ish percentage will guarantee a kill, much like ZSS using her Up-B on others. Dr. Mario does not jump as high as Mario. Dr. Mario cannot jump as high as Ganondorf can when performing a full jump. This is bad for recovery, but good for approaching as his short hops allow him to use almost any aerial move out of a short hop. If your opponent continues to vector towards you and they are of mid-weight or higher, you can do shorthop backflips and hit multiple B-airs which do 13-14% each if hit correctly. Finally, his taunts are quicker than Mario's (Dr. Mario doesn't have a taunt nearly as long as Mario's "growing" taunt). ------ I love how the only matches I'm losing now are ones that lag to hell. Why couldn't Nintendo at least make the match-making system match you up with someone that is close to you?

I don't get why people are saying Dr. Mario is inferior to Mario. He isn't inferior, he just plays differently now. He is an amazing character, now that I've played him and compared him to Mario. I'm actually maintaining my win rate with him, so I'm satisfied. Been whopping ZSSs, Sonics, Falcons, and Diddys among others with him.

Brought my win rate back to 80.12%. I'm finally learning Jigglypuff again. Didn't realize that carrying folks could be done so efficiently with f-air instead of b-air.

I think I'll be dropping Dr. Mario for Game & Watch. While I'm a fan of the Doc, his recovery is just too horrid. Perhaps once others find new tricks with him, I'll bring him back, but for now, see ya Doc. I do have to admit though, it is fun to run off the stage with Dr. Mario and Up-B into a person coming back to the edge, bouncing them against the underside and killing them.

I haven't. I've found a bunch of ZSS and Shiek lately though.

This lag is ruining my win rate in For Glory. I've had a great connection with most people until yesterday. What happened? I've had my win rate drop to 78.78% when it was like 80.4%. These people need to get better connections or get to playing for fun.
