    100% world of light doesnt account for chests. Maybe check the song totals for each series to track down what you're missing.

    Im surprised they don't have an X/Y counter for songs like they do spirits.

    Speaking of spirits though, I noticed a lot of people showing the 1297 total number as being all of them, but my counter shows 1302 total now (still missing like 200 though). I'm just wondering where the discrepancy is here.

    Playable fighter spirits and alternate versions of same?

    Maybe? Unless they added a few in the last update... Idk, does anyone elses say X/1302, or does anyone still have the 1297 or whatever number those were.

    There've been two sets of Spirits that have been added since the game's release: two Pokemon Let's Go! spirits, and three Super Mario Party spirits from an event just before New Year's. That's where the five additional Spirits are from; all of them should be as numbers 1298-1302. The Let's Go! spirits have, thus far, only been obtainable by having an appropriate Let's Go! save on the same Switch, but it's been reported that a later event will allow everyone a chance to collect them.

    That Donkey Kong and Lady spirit battle from the most recent event was a bitch and a half. Goddamn I hate those 75m challenges. Especially when the AI goes to the bottom of the screen where shit gets hidden behind the player portraits and percentages.

    This was the big dk vs you and peach right? And if peach dies you lose?
    Using Olimar + Akuma makes it pretty easy, only takes a few solid arial hits to knock dk out

    There is no way I would have known that fighter was advantageous in that fight, I don't think I've even used half the fighters in Ultimate yet. That spirit is hella powerful but it has no slots, so normally I don't use it either. I cleared the Donkey Kong and Lady fight with
    Marth + Geno + Celebi
    .

    But I used up all my damn Rematch items in the process.

    No, that combination is just generally stupid because of spirit mode scaling.

    Not a bad idea. Is there any place that has the song totals divided by series?

    ness' pk fire is annoying as shit

  • dav3ybdav3yb Registered User regular
    Decided to venture online some. Didn't bother with the preferred rule stuff, since the challenges require you to get smash tags, i figure FFA might be better for that anyways. I think I'm going to just try and have fun with online, be less serious hardcore 1v1 stuff... at least for now.

    Speaking of online though. I noticed that when my switch wakes up from sleep, it likes to kick back over to wifi, and i have to unplug and replug my wired adapter. is this normal for people? It works fine after plugging it back in, or after doing a hard restart of the console, but it's pretty annoying.

    And I'm apparently missing 1 song to have the entire library... according to some wiki page there are 876 tracks, I have 875... it's going to be fun figuring out which one I'm missing. I figure i'll not worry much about it until I open all of the Online challenge panels. If there's one hiding under there then I'm good, otherwise I might just have to get lucky?

    Clawed up to 1.5 mil with DDD. Figuring out my gordos and it's delightfully evil some of the baits and setups. At long range I can just hand them a hit back... into my waiting mouth.

    The occassional kill with a sneaky jet hammer (since it has super armor on the swing?). Finishing people off is still a weak point for me - I'm not comfortable going off stage with a iffy up B, so it's mostly gordo and smash mixes to keep them off. Or just up smash, because it has great arc and ssnds em flying straight up.

    I nailed someone on a hilarious final stock with rocket hammer. I was falling towards them facing the wrong way, but it feels it'll spin you around while it's charging pretty much instantly with any input in the other direction (I still don't know if you can turn around mid-air normally but if you can it's a right pain in the ass). So just before I landed I booted up the rocket, spun about, and absolutely blootered them.

    I also think Rocket Hammer reaches below ledges and the super armor protects you from a getup attack flinch if you time it right, so I need to get in the habit of charging it after tossing the ledge guard gordo.

    So I think I've discovered something about (my) LAN adapter, and I thought I'd share if anyone else is having this issue. When my switch would wake up from sleep, it would default back to WiFi, instead of the LAN adapter. I went into the settings and removed my WiFi from the console, then made sure the LAN adapter was connecting properly. I added my WiFi back to the console, but now since it was added after the Wired Connection, it seems to set the LAN adapter as preferred connection, so it defaults to that now it seems.

    Indeed. I thought maybe it was armor or projectile immunity, but he seems to just get pure invulnerability. Mind strong enough hits can send him rocketing in the opposite direction. I've also seen a loading screen mention if you jump on him like a koopa it will knock him out, but I haven't seen it in action.

    Jumping on him does indeed put him in a helpless state where he's stuck on his back, and I don't think he can mash out of it, so you get a free hit.

    Okay, I meant to post about this sooner, but after some discussion earlier this week, we're trying a new set of stages this time!

    Neutral: Final Destination, Battlefield, Smashville, Pokemon Stadium, Unova Pokemon League

    Counterpick: Wily's Castle, Skyloft, Yoshi's Island, Lylat Cruise, WarioWare, Wuhu Island, Castle Siege, Mushroom Kingdom U, Frigate Orpheon, Brinstar

    The idea here was to maximize variety in terms of stage layouts while also keeping the selection lean enough that choice of bans matters. This probably isn't a perfect list, so feedback is welcome. I'd like to keep refining things over the coming weeks.

    Spend them before a Classic Mode run to increase rewards, or use it to Continue in Classic Mode without losing any Intensity.

    Classic Mode is, in fact, the only place you're allowed to use Classic Tickets.

    In unrelated news, the boffins over at Reddit have determined through experimentation that darkness attacks like Mewtwo's smashes and Ganondorf's Warlock Fist are powered up by Fire/Explosion Attack Up, and not by PSI Attack Up or Magic Attack Up as you might expect. Do with this information what you will.

    My favorite musical instrument is the air-raid siren.
