Happy 500th page Smash thread!

As well, those sales are rather lackluster to be honest... I hoped for a lot more.

Not to mention that the holidays are coming up.
The first big pulse of sales would have been on Black Friday, but the coming two weeks promise to hold just as many.
 
Holy fuck, this thread is 500 pages long?
 
I wonder if Mewtwo will be any better than his Melee... *ahem*... performance.
 
Aside from shadow ball, I'm expecting him to have new moves. I didn't enjoy his playstyle in melee and I'm not into P:M, so hopefully Sakurai and his team will do him right this time.
 
As long as they keep all his coolest animations I'm down to clown with whatever
 
I never played him, how did Confusion even work?
 
It'd be a lot better if it actually reflected projectiles properly. Don't know how that oversight got through.

It was a command grab that caused a knockdown and could theoretically reflect projectiles. Problem is the knockdown is kinda really easy to tech out of and the projectiles it reflected didn't actually do anything to the person who originally threw the projectile.

If you're far away, and a projectile gets thrown, you can use it as a reflector, and then get punished by anything the opponent can do because there is a mountain of endlag on the stupid move.
Up close, you hit 'em with the grab, maybe while they were blocking. The enemy will do the flip thing for a little bit, and then this happens:

It's really not good.
 
If the thing actually did hitstun it sure would help.
 
It would be even better if Confusion and Disable switched names so they can actually have a somewhat indicative name.

So it's a counter, but not a counter because you'll fuckin get rekt by it?
 
you sure the move that stops enemies in their tracks (with eye contact) shouldn't be called Disable
or that the move that sends enemies for a loop by spinning them wildly shouldn't be called Confusion
ok then
 
I'd pay for a Jigglypuff one.
 
Also, remember those GC controllers themed around Mario, Luigi, Peach and Yoshi? Now there's gonna be more controllers for DK, Wario, Link and Samus.
As someone who has purchased one of these controllers and spent some time getting used to the feel of them, recommend not buying it if you are thinking it will be just like the GC controller.

Obviously it's not exactly like the GC controller. It's a third party, licensed knock-off and it is really good for being just that. However, I can't get past the feel of how bulky it is and the trigger/shoulder buttons are actually painful. Where the GCN controller cradles the index finger with a "U" shaped groove on the R button, these controllers can only be described as a "J" type shape where the finger can and frequently slip over the side of the button, causing it to be incredibly uncomfortable. Of course, when you let go of the button, there's no longer that issue, but having your finger slip over the edge like that happens too often and I really dislike that.

Other than that, the buttons are great. Sticks have a cool feel that I enjoyed mostly (even though they aren't analog) and the material is very nice to the touch.

8/10

I dont feel like paying 60$-100$ for a 12$ trinket. at this point they're "discontinued" until Nintendo decides to produce more.

I did it. Spoiler: it was really fucking hard and took really fucking long.

This has got to be the hardest challenge in the game.
