My kids can officially kick my butt at SSBU all the time now. Need to practice more. Any tips? They are into the harsh tournament style 1:1 with no weapons or spirits.

Seems pretty laggy online, at least according to my kids...

well I guess you should grind it out against your kids and git gud~

which chars do you like to play? all the anime sword dudes are pretty easy because their normal attacks have bigger hitboxes
― ciderpress, Wednesday, 27 February 2019 00:44 (five years ago) link
more seriously I'd say make sure you know how to shield, grab, throw, use your normal (A button) attacks and aerial attacks. When my sister and I were small playing Smash on N64 I'm pretty sure we only believed in special (B button) attacks for a long time.

like not use them well necessarily just get the inputs down.

I’m getting there. Back in the day, we would play 4-player free-for-alls with weapons so it never felt that bad to lose. Much worse in a 1:1 battle. I’ve been using Ganandorf and I can beat L9 CPUs like 25% of the time. My kids play faster characters and have gotten really evilly good at spiking and edge-guarding. I think that’s my next frontier, but that shit feels particularly cruel.

it's just part of the game, think of it like having someone stuck in the corner in a trad fighter

Pokemon sword & shield
game world looks based on England
looks pretty nice for a Pokemon game but not revolutionary

'scorbunny' sounds like a gross website or an english countryside depending on how you pronounce it. neither is acceptable.

also, fucking green chimpanzee would be called groopanzee and wouldn't have a tail. visit a goddamn zoo.

you should have checked snopes.com to see if grookey really is a chimp. you would have found a soundcloud of the bestie boys singing "grass monkey. that funky monkey." is my point.

Sure, but with a decent designer it can look as good as titles of old.

both games on my wishlist, Fe and Gris, are on sale
― na (NA), Friday, 8 March 2019 15:12 (five years ago) link
thanks for the heads up, been waiting for Gris.
― Josh in Chicago, Friday, 8 March 2019 15:16 (five years ago) link
^same, thanks NA. Fe looks up my alley too--anyone played it?
― rob, Friday, 8 March 2019 15:27 (five years ago) link
i think i wishlisted it because it showed up on a few end-of-the-year lists
― na (NA), Friday, 8 March 2019 15:33 (five years ago) link
gris is really good. play it on a big screen with good headphones/stereo imo
― ciderpress, Friday, 8 March 2019 16:24 (five years ago) link
yeah I'm excited for that. Am I right in thinking that the difficulty level is fairly gentle?
― rob, Friday, 8 March 2019 16:29 (five years ago) link
yeah it's a v easy puzzle platformer, the appeal is that it's an audiovisual marvel
― ciderpress, Friday, 8 March 2019 16:30 (five years ago) link
oof did the first quarter of gris yesterday
absolutely stunning :)

played the first couple dozen levels of Baba Is You, easy recommend if you like fiendish puzzle games

more evidence that whoever is running the nintendo online thing doesn't actually like or know anything about NES games

― but i'm there are fuckups (Karl Malone), Tuesday, 19 March 2019 00:57 (five years ago) link
don't get me wrong - i was very excited to pick up my switch last night and realize that i could now play kid icarus, a classic game that i never played back in the day and never got around to emulating. but they're "reissued" is so incredibly bare bones, like literally the minimum possible effort. and even the SP versions of the games, which in the right hands could be a really cool idea, somehow always end up being something that i'm not even tempted to try
― but i'm there are fuckups (Karl Malone), Tuesday, 19 March 2019 00:58 (five years ago) link
startropics was never released in japan so the ppl running the service probably don't know much about it yes
― ciderpress, Tuesday, 19 March 2019 01:15 (five years ago) link
i don't know if that's supposed to be a gotcha or whatever but my point still stands that they make the minimum effort. imagine having the opportunity to re-release these games, and all the interesting things they could do. they could just email whoever runs @supermariobroth and ask them for a few ideas about old concept art they could share, or pay someone $150 to write a decent blurb for the games, or dig up an old interview with Miyamoto from schmuplations, or reward players for beating a game with some sort of gamebreaking cheat, or put up global leaderboards for certain games, etc etc etc.
― but i'm there are fuckups (Karl Malone), Tuesday, 19 March 2019 01:25 (five years ago) link
also, if i were re-releasing some japanese game that i'd never played and was never released in the united states, i'd probably spend half an hour reading the wikipedia page on it before putting it out just to make sure it didn't have a hardcore sex scene after Act II or whatever
