I have now played with Newbie in addition to Thad. I like that you can have two local players online to help fill out the room.

I don't like that when you pick up a wrench in vs. mode there's no way to tell what you got.

WHAT'S THIS FEELING

CAST ADRIFT WITHOUT A MAIN

JUMPING FROM CHARACTER TO CHARACTER, SETTLING ON NONE

THINKING THAT NEVER AGAIN WOULD WE BE TOGETHER

N .. NO LONGER

Second quarter of 2015 is best quarter of 2015. Is it too much to hope that Claus gets a name credit this time?

I mained Lucas back in Brawl, and when Ness got Awesome for 4, I was happy.

I am just as happy as Niku here.

Ryu, Lucas, and a boring blah boy are now playable.

They translated Ryu's moves so doing his original SFII moves to a better, stronger version of his attacks.

I played as him last night and it took me a bit to get used to. I'm no fighting game player so I have no idea how he feels compared to a person who knows what they are doing.

As a Smash player, however, he feels pretty different than other characters with his moves predominately setting up combos and the like instead of knocking opponents away. He's got good mobility and has at least two ways of doing every move, including two final smashes.

He's kind of neat to play with, I guess.

Ryu plays exactly like a smash character he's just a smash character. Trying to do quarter circles ends in sadness as half of the time you will just go through the platform you are standing on because you have to fucking press down to do them. It's cute that i can recognize all of his normals that they brought over from street fighter.

L U C A S . I S . A M A Z I N G

I mean, I can play him now, so I would have said that no matter how he'd changed. But I think I like these changes! His down special magnet does damage/knockback when you release the button, his PK Thunder recovery feels like it flies farther, and I think I'm able to grab people with ol' Rope Snake a little more consistently? He's floaty and laggy, so I don't expect to see him tearing up any tournaments soon, but for my purposes I'm very pleased.

Roy seems pretty strong in all-star mode. Maybe it's just because the AI doesn't know not to walk right into Explosion.

Another fire emblem dude/chick, and Bayonetta.

Fly me to the moon, baby.

Okay, Bayonetta's a rad addition. A little surprised to see them talking about how she regularly summons demons in a Nintendo trailer for Smash Brothers? I feel like that might ruffle a feather or two.

Also, Frocto weighs in:
[13:58]Frocto: can you imagine what the kids growing up with bayonetta as a childhood memory are gonna turn out like
[13:58]Frocto: like “Oh, yeah, the giantess dominatrix slut-witch, I remember her from when I was 6 years old.”
[13:58]Arnell: best generation
[13:58]Frocto: “She was in Smash, I’d freeze-frame her crushing Link’s head between her thighs for hours.”

I can't stop laughing every time I do Bayonetta's side-b in the air.

I got a Switch. It is the first console I have purchased since the DS. I got Smultimate.
You may already be able to guess the problem here, from those three sentences.

I liked Melee. I was hype for Melee. I had played the shit out of 64 and Melee was all of that but more and better, a love letter to everything Nintendo, by Nintendo. I don't know what my final clock time on the game was but if it was less than a four-digit number of hours cumulatively I'd be surprised. I had collected all the trophies that weren't region-locked or whatever. I wasn't pro grade or anything but have you seen pro Melee players no thanks

Brawl was the killer app... for the Wii, so I skipped it. You guys remember where my life was in the second half of the aughts, right? Not really in a great position to be buying anything as superfluous as vidya games
So I also skipped, well... everything else on the Wii. And the WiiU. And the 3DS. And here I am with a new console for the first time in about 20 years, and Nintendo's far more comprehensive love letter to itself. And boy the experience is not the same. I am indifferent to the new Pokemon. There's a lot of Crossinged Animal here that does nothing for me. Having never Chronicled a Xenoblade, I don't know who Shulk is, or why his gimmick is... all that. I do not care about any of the Fire Emblems (except Marth and Roy, since they were in Melee! ha ha). Even new characters I recognize aren't as dramatic as they might be if I'd kept up with the fandom, as even, like, Ridley is just some other guy.

So I can appreciate in a sort of academic sense that all this stuff is in the game, but it's... just not for me anymore. Pretty sure that goes double for the DLC, which I haven't bought and don't plan to.

"You don't want games to be like they used to be. You want games that make you feel the way you used to feel" is something I think about a lot while I'm playing.

I'll finish Xenoblade Chronicles one of these days, dammit.
