I-n-j-i-n Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 I can't wait to get my ass beat in online SSB! I'm pretty good, but I know there are people out there who spend a hell of a lot of time training way more than I do! I know there are people on this forum right now who look at the stats in my sig and say "Pfft! That's it?" Tourneytards? In my SSB? I just wish a lot of people play item-enables matches online so I can win via a fluke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crabsmasher Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 Heh. I know I am going to get owned for a long time. Sadly I don't own any of the Super Smash Brothers games, but I have played them alot. Recently my friends and I have started to play the original SSB again. I get beat every time I mentioned earlier in the thread that I once got over 700% damage ther with Ganondorf, with no alterations to the damage percentage. Crazy stuff.

Recently my friends and I have started to play the original SSB again. I get beat every time I don't own the game either. The only reason I didn't buy it was because my friend had it, and I unlocked a lot of things for him and I didn't want to do it again. I usually beat my friend after a few warm up rounds though.

I just wish a lot of people play item-enables matches online so I can win via a fluke. I like playing both ways. Items just make the game fun, but no items can really make the game into a serious fighter. Anyways, whatever way, I'll have fun playing it.

Jam Stunna Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 I love the scrolling stages. Stages like Big Blue and Poke Floats are so cool and the action is really intense when the stage is part of the challenge. It just makes the battle even more interesting. Think about it. If you want to create a truly dramatic scene, what do you do? Place the characters in as much peril as possible, and what's more perilous than fighting on top of racing hovercrafts at breakneck speeds? Have you seen The Matrix Reloaded? Isn't the highway fight scene freakin awesome? Bah, I dunno. I'm just not a fan of having to fight the stages, too. It's just more satisfying to beat them man to man, no items, no cheap deaths. Then again, My PvP experience with the game is limited to my brother. I've never really played the game competitively before. By the way, what exactly are the generally accepted character tiers for SSBM? My best characters seem to be Roy, Fox, and Donkey Kong. This is the most recent tier list I could find (source: http://www.smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=50171&page=1) Top:Sheik Fox Marth Upper: Peach Falco C. Falcon Samus High: Jigglypuff Dr. Mario Ganondorf Mario Ice Climbers Mid: Luigi Link Roy DK Pikachu Zelda Low: Ness Young Link Yoshi Kirby Mr. Game & Watch Bowser Bottom: Mewtwo Pichu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How the hell is Falcon better than Ganondorf? And Jigglypuff on the High Tier?! And how the hell is Mewtwo on the lowest tier with Pichu? You should see my brother use him. He's crazy-good with Mewtwo. Oi. Maybe I'm missing something here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murmeli Walan Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 Not earth-shattering news, but smashbros.com has been updated with descriptions and pictures for Meta-Knight and Pit. So, I assume that the site will update every Thursday, then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had heard that Jugglypuff could be good, but this is the first time I have seen it.

genghisdani Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 I can't wait to get my ass beat in online SSB! Heh. I know I am going to get owned for a long time. Wow... I've got to say that I am going to have lots of fun owning everyone here, once SSBB goes online. And Jigglypuff on the High Tier?! http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-5295353616970642959&q=DBR Educate yourself. I used to be that good with Jigglypuff, but then no-one would ever play me. I'm not that ruthless though, it's just not my style. Now, I almost exclusively use Samus; but I'm decent with pretty much every character.

Yeah, maybe certain characters are a hair easier to use than others once you master them, but these differences are minute. Personally, I find that SSB is so much more fun when you're not ultra-competitive. When you've sat down to rank the characters in such a balanced game, you've lost the purpose of it.

cobaltstarfire Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 The tier system just makes me more satisfied that I kick peoples asses with Yoshi since he's apparently such a bad character to use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the tiers are broken up into how easy it is to use the characters. Your brother must be very patient if he's as good as you say with mewtwo. I can find that list very believable, if I'm understanding it properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Author Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 If I remember correctly, the tier system is established in Final Destination, without any items. So, basically, how the game is not meant to be played. All the items, all the arenas, that is how SSB are supposed to be played. So what if a pokeball can change the course of a game, anyone can pick it up. Luck and randomness are what make SSB and SSBM great. If you think a character is advantaged by a stage, find ways to counter it. If a character is too powerful with one item (mewtwo + lightsaber for example) react accordingly. A true great player does not turn off item, he learns to react to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a character is too powerful with one item (mewtwo + lightsaber for example) react accordingly. A true great player does not turn off item, he learns to react to them. The only time I do this is when I want a match of skill, one that reflects how good a player is with that specific character. It's just to eliminate the chance for my opponents to go OMG DAT WAS LUK!!! That way, he knows I won. I don't think the tier system actually works, because SSBM is one of the most balanced fighters I've ever played. Is mewtwo tough to use? Yeah, but he might be awesome when mastered. Every character has it's ups and downs, and by changing frequently, you get a true feeling of how the game is played, and you know how your opponent will react when using it. Even better, play SSBM the way its meant to be played: TONS OF CHAOS! ITEMS ON MAX! POKEMON STADIUM! 4 CHARACTERS! And watch the good times roll. Super Smash Bros. Melee: without a doubt, one of the best multiplayer games out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cerrax Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 I'm glad that SSBB won't use the Wiimote. Even though whole new gameplay could be unlocked, I'd hate to have played SSB for so long just to have to relearn how to play the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
