Good games! They were pretty fun! Your Shulk is improving steadily, while your Meta Knight needs to rely a little less on specials, as his normals are more safe.

And just something I've noticed about how you play in general: When your opponent is constantly rolling around you, don't be afraid down Smash. You don't need to charge it long or anything, but I noticed that you rarely ever do it.

I can do that with a down smash? holy shit! But down smashing is hard for me, and I fear if I hit the special button a picosecond too late to going down I'll fall off a platform if I'm on one.

Well, except for rare cases (Like ZS Samus), a down smash hits both sides of you, so an enemy will have a high chance of getting hit if they roll around you a lot. Sometimes timing can be big (In our Falco vs. Meta Knight fight, I missed) since you're just taking a shot, but it's a quick way to get an enemy away from you.

Something a lot of people mistake is that they charge it for damage. Keep in mind that you're not going for damage. You're not going for a kill. You're just trying to get an enemy away from you to regroup, so release it as soon as possible.

You do run the risk of falling through if you hit down too early, but if you don't charge, you won't be in too bad of a situation.

Good luck!

Just registered my 3Ds and Wii U copies and I'm set to get Mewtwo in the spring!

[Matrixbeast]

Nice!
I'm just hoping the paid release isn't too far separated from the free release, since I don't got the Wii U copy.

I hope so too.

I feel kinda bad for Sakurai. He can't go home that much even after the game is finished because of his laundry list of things to do for the game.

Miiverse stage.
Mewtwo
Tournamnets
Amiibo support for 3DS

I just hope he has enough time to make stuff like events and special orders for the 3DS

Anyone up for smash?

How am I doing matrix?
