Super Smash Bros.

[Ratatapa]

Mega Man feels way too slow

[Genosync]

The nair still has a sex kick like hitbox in the air though, but it's fairly tiny and does get slightly better KB than buster shots.

I think Ftilt is way better than it's being made out to be, but I'm still going to agree he's going to be rather low on the tier list.

[Corrderio]

The lack of a different neutral air or forward tilt limit his options even further than he has already. His projectiles can be used against him (Leaf Shield borderline useless outside of grabbing, which is a shame because I was originally excited about it) but his Smash has quite some power and that up air is op stuff lol, different ways to finish off people like back air, up air, down smash, forward smash. Up smash and up tilt are alright but don't seem as powerful as the previously mentioned to finish off with. Rush recovery is high but he seems to move forward slowly to me so some recoveries can fail if too far horizontally.

He feels better than the previous demo at the Best Buy event but still seems like he may be in the lower tiers as his play style can be countered fairly hard by some characters known already

Nonetheless, still an interesting style to play with. I have not seen his custom moves used in real play yet to see if that can aid him (anything will be better than Leaf Shield @_@)

Guess I can see that. I'm a complete filthy casual when it comes to fighters so I wouldn't know. All I do is mash buttons.

I'm really impressed with how the game looks on the 3DS, from screenshots it didn't look amazing but is really nice in motion.

Controls are booty though, really need that C stick

I played the 3DS version at PAX and it was pretty fun. Not a small of small screens, but I wanted that Smash Bros towel bad.

The demo on my 3DS XL looks fantastic which was really surprising and yes the controls feel poopy. PLZ movement with Dpad?

Even with DPad movement, it will be very difficult to transition into c stick moves because theyre on the same side of the pad.

Jumps being moved to DPad would be awesome, letting you use the left side stick for movement and just learning to adapt essentially a 1+1 (direction + smash button) c stick while being able to control movement still.

[Genosync]

It's really not that bad y'all. I'm having zero problems doing retreating fair/bairs. The only thing I feel like is truly being lost from the Cstick is Attack being tied to it instead of Smash, which makes two things happen:

1. Diagonals become neutral A (jabs on ground, nairs in air)
2. Down on Cstick no longer causes fast fall (walk off dairs without dying)

If anything, THAT's what I miss. Everything else, you can adapt but probably end up crushing your circle pad cover.

[Meian]

Main reason I'd want c-stick is for dash up smash/down smash or the quick forward smash

I'd like d-pad since I am paranoid about the stick breaking from all the news about it, though I am fairly gentle but quick with my use of the stick

[Nitsuki]

It'll all be over soon! Only 1 and 1/2 months between 3ds and wii u, i really can't wait. I'm comfortable with the 3ds demo, so i can play it just fine when retail comes. It's just gonna suck unlocking everyone twice.

[Nitsuki]

Btw is that release date of 11/21/14 100% true? I'm requesting that weekend off from work, gonna have 72 hours of smash at my place.

[Lucavi]

Couldn't you just take the 3DS to work with you? Its not like its a home console release. :3

He's talking about wii u

Or just let either the analog stick or the d-pad act as the c-stick replacement.

It really helps that it actually employs anti-aliasing unlike the majority of 3DS games I own. This game would have been a jaggy clusterfuck without it.

[Lucavi]

Oooooh, yeah that makes sense. I'd quit work during that release.

That was my point though. You would stop having to move to use the c-stick because theyre both on the same side of the 3DS. Would leave you very vulnerable if you missed, slipped, etc.

Unless you're sitting it on a flat surface and using it like a full blown game pad. Which would just be weird.

Now that I think about it more, even jumps being moved to DPad would leave you in the same situation because then you couldn't fully control the direction of your jump. They really just a 2nd analog pad on the right side. Thank you Super 3DS.

How comfortable are the circle pad pros?

Doesn't really matter because the game doesn't support Circle Pad Pro thanks to Nintendo being a bunch of idiots.

Japan gets Cstick for 4-5 months before we do. Gj Reggie

Yeah it doesnt work, and blocks the R trigger, but it's a helluva lot more comfortable to hold...

Got to play the demo on my friend's 3DS this weekend. I don't feel Megaman is so bad. Some of him moves seem kind of OP, like Sparkman's ability.

[Stromgarde]

Mega Man
Certain moves OP
Metal blade not mentioned
