    I did end up bonking a few of them to make my own recovery safer, which confused them to no end but is also instant death if you've already used your double jump

    Incineroar's aerials are pretty good. I do like its aerial game.

    I think Roar's ftilt has strong knockback scaling. It might be unsafe early but it's basically an uncharged fsmash at ~100%, iirc

    2 different thoughts from playing online today.

    * Wolf is an extremely opporessive opponent for K. Rool, if he gets in and starts doing big claw combos and hopping all over.
    * It's still very hilarious when people fall for the cannon suck like 5 times in a row. It feels like people get impatient and sloppy when they want to make you just stop shooting.

    I win basically all matches I win against Wolf, both as K. Rool and Simon, by being a goddamn pest until people get sloppy. If they actually stay focused and use that horrendous hopping game he has I get mauled, but people get impatient.

    Steam ID: Right here.

    Incineroar is now in Elite Smash, which I guess is a good enough point to get with a character I'm just playing around with

    I really like it! Revenge is probably my favorite Counter if only because it's so different from all the others. It's silly and fun and it makes people relate to you very differently when you have it activated, whether you tanked a big hit for it or just ate a couple of lasers. And getting a 70% Clothesline feels great, even if it doesn't kill as low as you'd think it would

    Now I'ma work on Ridley a little bit and get him back up to Elite, because why not? It's good to learn a character whose ass you want to beat, right?

    I think a few players (namely ZeRo) underrate Ridley, still. The way he can create entire no-go zones around him is really strong, and his off-stage chase game is oppressive in the extreme

    That's an impressive collection! I just have Ganondorf, Ness, and Incineroar right now. Ridley, Samus, and Link have kind of fallen out over time. Never have gotten Isabelle up there. Maybe I should really focus on her next.

    I tend to default to Battlefield in Quick play; what does everyone else do? I wonder if Isabelle might appreciate FD more

    My favorite Smash thing I did this week was getting Revenge to activate in a reversed Warlock Punch and then watching the Ganon panic before eating six trillion damage off one clothesline

    It'd be cool if we could use our customized random stage lists in quick play. I would definitely give that a try for a while

    Yeah, I dunno how you'd do that though without having to fight a buncha dumb matches on elektroplankton

    I figured it'd just be a fourth (fifth?) option

    BF — FD — Random — Random (no hazards) — Random (Selection)

    I can't remember if Random and No Hazards are two options or if it's just No Hazards!

    Anyway I think you'd get the option to set up your list of selectable stages in random, which would work basically like it does in every other mode in the game! You'd never get Elektroplankton unless your opponent picked it, in which case your opponent is probably set to some flavor of Random already

    You pick 10 stages, it matches you with someone else who has at least one of those stages picked on that stage. Rematches go to any other overlap you might have, else just that stage over again. Bam, done.

    It appears that the datamine that hinted at Joker having a "Jane" alt (with a ponytail) was correct. Trailer for the new version of P5 - Persona5 The Royal:

    https://youtu.be/ygyz3Mqjh0k

    Edit: Apparently "Jane" is not a version of Joker, but a new character. (Still, probably what the Joker alt will be base on.)

    Quick question for all of you lovely folk:

    How do you short hop? Like, for ZSS, edging well requires a short down B flip to kick and I have no idea how to have her just not jump high.

    last patch a couple months back added a shortcut for shorthop which by default is both jump buttons pressed simultaneously

    The traditional method is releasing the jump button within 3 frames, but this is horseshit as far as I can tell and anyone who can do it reliably is on my lizardperson watch-list.

    yeah the press-both-jump-buttons-for-a-short-hop or press-jump-and-A-for-a-short-hop-attack alternate ways they added are much more doable

    Yeah I get the XA combo stuff, but specifically ZSS's Flip Jump (Down B). I've done it on accident before but I've never been able to do a short hop version of it when actually trying. I know it's not a tilt (that's her leg sweep), and that looks like a really important part to get down when on the edge.

    What if I play a lizard person and can usually short hop when I want

    Spirit board sucks imho. A lot of those fights are fine in World of Light because by the time you reach them you've probably got a spirit that negates any bullshit, but just trying to do them the hard way as they randomly come up in the board is a whole different story. And then, even if you do win, you might still not get the reward if you fail the extra minigame you have to do afterward.

    You'll get the whole roster in that mode eventually, just keep at it. Remember if you get stuck on a fight, try looking around at other nearby fights as one of them might give you a spirit that negates the most frustrating part of the one you're stuck on. Think of it like a Metroidvania.

    i've beaten every fight so far, though i cheesed the fuck out of palutena and the boss

    the worst fights by farrrrr are 1vMany and also there's a shit load of items also all the robots know where the items are as soon as they spawn also the items are bullshit

    hence why funky kong can bite my friggin butt ass

    Was expecting them to hint at the next DLC character, but I'm content with spending some time learning how to play Joker.
