Super Smash Bros. Discussion

[Spinosaurus]

He's the only character with a known unlock criteria outside of Classic and No. of versus matches. The others have known classic criterias, but I've seen some of them unlock in Smash Run and all that.

Actually I unlocked him through VS matches, I forgot how many.

 

[Judge Mandolore Shepard]

To unlock Wario through VS matches, it requires doing 30 matches. Each character that can be unlocked has a match requirement. The amount of matches that is required is an amount that is divisible by 10. Ness requires only ten matches, while Jigglypuff requires twelve times that amount.

The fastest way to unlock all characters:

1. Go to smash mode
2. Switch to 1 stock
3. Only 1 CPU
4. Jump off ledge 10 times.
5. Face New Character.
6. Repeat 12 times until you get Jiggly (last available character).


I ended up getting most of the characters the conventional way though, but it took much longer. Plus some people aren't able to beat Classic Mode with Bowser on level 7.0, for instance, so this is a fool-proof method.

PS how do you unlock Jiggly??? The encounter was supposed to be after 120 battles, but she appeared randomly. I may have beaten Classic Mode with Peach for the second time...not sure, but she was the easiest unlockable to beat.

Beat Classic mode for the twenty-fifth time on any intensity

So I have 4 more characters to go! So far my main is Sonic, and Bowser! The game is awesome!

I only beat it a few times, less than 5 and I unlocked her.

 

[Alfieri]

Back to people fighting in For Glory, my record has been 3-0 so far with Pikachu having 2 and Lucina 1. I had a lot of lag though. I know it's not me because I have Optimum. Must have been my opponents or something. I don't want to blame the lag for my horrible misplays but it was certainly exhilarating!

 

[BrandoSheriff]

I only beat it a few times, less than 5 and I unlocked her.

Apparently Jigglypuff's other condition is collecting at least 30 unique custom parts. Either it was that, or complete Classic Mode using a customized character. I believe I unlocked her this way since I'm still far from 120 battles and I have lots of custom parts from playing Classic Mode so much. xD

 

[ShadowEdge]

So what are your guys opinions on the game?

 

[Entermaid]

If I were reviewing this game, I would give it between a 9 and 9.5 out of 10. It's near perfection for a Smash game on the 3DS.

How I scored the game:

Spoiler:

Smash Run: 10/10
"Fun, exciting, variation, creative, challenging, fresh. There is some luck thrown in the mix, but that's what makes it all of the above! You never know what the challenge at the end will be. Do you need to race horizontally or climb vertically? defeat more enemies quicker? or flat out beat the other opponents?"

Classic: 8/10
"Choice of difficulty, nice map layout, nice reward/risk mechanics, new final boss mechanics, overall nice take on classic mode (though underwhelming in fun), would like to see different final bosses to choose from for variety...not a fan of the morphing matter cliche."


Roster: 9.5/10
"Giant! Though there are some clones with their own slot ( Dark Pit) and I can think of more deserving spot recipients, (K. Rool, Dixie, Mewtwo, Issac, Delphox/Chesnaught. ect), I think if Dark Pit wasn't included there would be a spot available for another fighter. Plus, the roster has SO much to offer it's hard to dwell on the "what-if". I haven't even been able to use every character yet, and if I have, I hardly have had time to try them on for size. My only thought is...how did Nintendo have the ability to create so many character models with unique and varying move-sets and skins for a portable game???

Stages: 8.5/10
"Beautiful! Seemless transformations, not a fan of the 8-bit style clash of several stages, though it kind of works for the Earthbound level....it's beautiful beyond words! Not including 8-bit style stages it would have been a perfect 10 for the color, transformations/hazards, and overall atmosphere."

Skins/Alts: 10/10
"Kooplings, Fierce Diety Link, Dalmation Duck Hunt Dog, Jigglypuff w/ hair-bow, patriotic Mario, gender alts, my only complaint is that they all didn't have that one or two really special alt."

Customization: 10/10
"Glimpses of customization in the past, but this one is on a completely different level. Mii fighter move and apparel customization, character move customization, equipment customization. There are also customization in the smash run. "

Music: 10/10
As per usual, Nintendo comes through with music. I like the sounds section, which lets you listen to all the music AND the characters (can't believe each character has around 35-55 different sounds they make! Great melody remixes, that is what really makes the music stand out for me.

Interface: 9/10
Very Brawl-esque, but much better with the color blocking and outlining against the white backdrop. Everything is quite clean, fonts especially are prone to messiness on handhelds, but it does a great job of placing information across the screen in an appealing way...the only issue is that the classic mode and other central components to Smash are stored under the "Games and More" section...? That makes no sense.

The game records and trophies seem more organized and presented better than predecessors.

Hardware Compatibility: 7/10
The game never lagged (offline) the only issue I had was keeping track of where my character was. I'd like more options for people who want an even thicker outline, or add a colored aura to their own character. Also the team battle have faint auras which sometimes blend in with the scenery making it difficult to identify teammates.

Overall though, it's impressive that smash run works so well despite being a HUGE map. It's telling that Sakurai has experience with working with ambitious gameplay on the 3ds if you'd ever tried out Kid Icarus Uprising. All-in-all it's a success with the small screen, but there are some things that could be improved like the faint auras, ect.

Fighting Mechanics: 10/10

Melee glitches remain a thing of the past. Moves and gestures are so lively and interesting, but not overly distracting. The fights are quicker than brawl and there is a great balance for casual and competitive player alike.

Extras: Smash run is the only enjoyable trophy minigame of the series. Target Blast is cool in concept, like Angry Birds, but there is a high learning curve (I miss target smash). The credit roll is pretty fun as well. All star mode plays with the classic nintendo nostalgia, ordering combatants by the year introduced.

Overall I would give this game between 9 and 9.5...which I don't do often (Pokemon X/Y. MK7, SMT4, Link Between Worlds, Kid Icarus, Bravely Default, and Fire Emblem are the only other 3ds games in this tier). It's near perfection for a smash game for a portable device. And notice, it's the only fighting game on the list I provide above.

 

[Starry Windy]

I think Smash Bros. for 3DS is quite decent, even though I was having hard time unlocking several characters (which I already told in the spoiler tag on my last post here), and Smash Run is surely challenging for me to compete. It's a great game nonetheless.

 

[ShadowEdge]

I give the game a 9.5 and I see my self playing for a long long time :)

 

[Judge Mandolore Shepard]

When it comes to unlockable characters that I have beaten, yesterday that was Dark Pit, Lucina, and Wario. The unlockable character I currently have to beat, one thing I am going to say about it is that I hate its laugh. Yes, the unlockable character I have to beat next is Duck Hunt Dog. As for the game itself, I find it is very good.

 

[Pinkie-Dawn]

I'm currently working on completing the challenges, and I've recently unlocked the third panel. Does anyone know which character is best to get over 3200 ft on Home Run Contest (one of the challenges in the third panel)?

Ganondorf is by far the best at home run.

 

[Dragon]

He's been the best since Melee! Goooood times~

Mmm, had some matches with Spinosaurus yesterday, and online play flows really good! They were enjoyable matches, sooo shoutout to him!

 

[Nick]

Yes, I managed to get over 2000 ft with Ganondorf. xD
