AWKWARD ZOMBIE

Inklings were smashified, they look good

Any Mario tips?

Grabing is effective

Use Fludd. It completely destroys recovery attempts.

Also when in doubt/danger, don't forget the cape. His normal down air is super great after throwing someone up, and his side air is a great meteor. It may be annoying to some, but his up tilt chains well and is good for building damage.

Smash 4 is one of thosegames iI seriously don't get how people can be so good at, like, how can people play a 2D game with a joystick of all things? When I try to attack in the opposite direction, it always becomes some other attack I didn't intend for.

Uh
tap left/right to change directions first
THEN input the command for whatever attack you want

like it's bodaciously the same as you would on a d-pad it's just... a stick.

Yeah, I used to be like that during casual matches with buddies during the Era of Brawl. I used the Wii Remote, for something like five straight years. And I didn't have a problem with it.

But the other month, I went back to Brawl after having played Smash 4 for several months with the Gamecube Controller (and the 3DS, which I still use quite frequently) and I felt like my hands were going to fall off. And to make matters worse, I used to main Lucas. How the hell did I ever use PK Thunder properly with a D-pad?! And I looked through my replays and I saw a grab? How???

Speaking of Lucas, I'm still super hype for him coming sometime this month. When I switched to the GCN controller he was pretty fun to play in Brawl, too. Those dang f-tilts and u-tilts, man, their range is absurd. And even though it's leagues worse than Ness's, his F-air is also pretty satisfying to land despite being a fairly basic move.

Holy shit that Duster outfit is so great. I know what I'm using at least half of the time.

Lucas seems so perfect in the Smash 4 style.

The Miiverse stage and Splatoon costumes are coming on the same day.

it has been way too long since i've played smash and i am completely fucking trash with sonic now, it feels like all my inputs happen just milliseconds too late and it fucks me over so hard

it could also be that every fucking match i've had has been laggy but i never noticed it when i played as my other mains, jiggs and ganon, so i feel like it's gotta be just being out of practice
