That's pretty interesting. Granted, some attacks (Notably the ones you didn't describe) I had to look up, but it was pretty fun.

I know. I'm not a big Bayonetta fan at all for that precise reason.
But it's not like it's impossible.

I've been seeing stories about Smash bricking consoles, but Smash itself isn't the problem, it's actually a hardware error. The error code people have been getting has occurred with other games and the bricking is only happening to users who try to fix it by formatting the system or messing around with the system memory. It just seems like Smash is causing it since it's the game everyone's playing right now.

In a game where Zero Suit Samus is given a revealing bikini as her alt for no other reason then nerd boners (I know its from Metroid Zero Mission, but out of all the hundreds and hundreds of potential alts that didn't make it, I don't think we can make a different reasonable argument for why the secret ending for the GBA game got chosen) and Palutena is given an awkward victory picture of Luigi perving on her bathing, plus a taunt in which she uses her staff to pole dance, I don't think Bayonetta's Wicked Weaves would be a problem at all. After all, its only when she uses Final Climax that she's actually naked, every other time she's simply in a black one-piece bikini, which they could easily use for her Final Climaxes as well. And heck, if that is still too much of a problem, don't have her lose her clothes at all! Just make her hair swirl all around her as she poses. Sure, it wouldn't be quite true to Bayonetta's character, but I don't think many would complain when we've got a great third-party character that caters to adults to replace the loss of Snake.

Plus the difference with Bayonetta is that its exaggerated and comical, you're not really supposed to find her sexy, everything from her design to her speech to her movements to her attacks is so amazingly over the top the entire sexualization is a huge well-done parody. You can't really say that for Palutena or Zero Suit Samus who really are just being overly sexualized for the sake of being sexy. I don't see why one's OK and the other's not. If Snake can be slightly edited to make a character that doesn't upset Soccer Mums, Bayonetta definitely can too.

As for Smash itself, I trained my first Amiibo (Aesir the Pikachu!). I'm ashamed to admit that twice me and my friends lost a 5-stock free for all too him when he was LVL 50. Such an embarrassment! Training them is fun and its cool seeing the progression as they learn how to react to things, but I'm a little disappointed that you can't really teach them combos. I showed him how to throw upwards and then Thunder about 100 times and he never picked it up, so I'm thinking that Nintendo exaggerated just how much an Amiibo can "learn". I've also seen other people report that its not possible to teach them how to meteor smash either. Levelling him up was satisfyingly quick. I think from LVL 1-50 only took about 2 hours. He levelled up about three levels per 5-stock battle, so just shoving him in when I was playing with my friends moved him along very quickly.

I'm also a little surprised that they can't join you for 2-Player "Classic" or All-Star modes. Its not a problem for me, who lives with two other Smash players, but I can really understand why that'd be a disappointing and strange omission to people who don't have anyone to play with.

Does anyone know if the 3DS version is going to get patched with amiibo support ever?

I'm assuming yes but since the new 3DS hasn't come out in all territories yet they haven't done so.

Well I'm pissed at myself for never knowing the Lucario Amiibo got put up for preorder and is now sold out. :(

Fuck man now I'll probably never get one with their bullshit decisions on these...

I believe it will on the New 3DS.

Does anybody want to play online on 3DS?

No I meant the feature of doing the dynamic A.I. thing like the Wii U version.
