So they've put Piranha Plant up for general sale now.
I have no idea what the purpose was of playing coy with the, "It'll be up for sale sometime in the future," thing just to have it out like two days later but whatever, it certainly beats when games will wait for months to put things on sale.

Past few days I've been working on trying to beat Classic 9.9 with as many characters as possible. Thus far I've done it with...
Link Peach Daisy Bowser Ice Climbers Dr. Mario Lucina Ganondorf Pit Ike Pokemon Trainer Diddy Kong Lucas King Dedede Olimar Lucario ROB Toon Link Robin Ryu Cloud Ridley King K. Rool Isabelle Incineroar Piranha Plant
Edit: And now also Corrin and Richter.

Update; I’m still horrifically terrible at this game. I like to think I’m a pretty competent gamer, but when it comes to Smash I revert to “I’ve never touched a controller in my life.”
For the life of me I cannot get the feel for this game.

So for a rather long shot of a DLC character I'd kinda like to see Travis Touchdown make an appearance... or at least a spirit if I remember Suda was pushing for it for Wii U/3ds but more or less said it wasn't on the table for Ultimate He wouldn't be my first pick for a character and I don't think he has much of a chance but still.

Travis is one who I would really like to have (granted not as much as I once would've, given I have a pretty negative opinion of, like, the entire existence of Travis Strikes Again but I digress) but a certain conundrum with him is that probably my favorite song in the series is Philistine and there is no chance that would make it into Smash Bros with how filthy the language is.
Is a minor sacrifice (and so long as we got Pure White Giant Tiny Glastonbury I'd be fine with that, though wouldn't really count on it either) but it would be disappointing.

Travis Strikes Again is odd.
It was not meant to be a No More Heroes game (Suda apparently doesn't even consider it part of No More Heroes still...) it was originally designed to be a weird Indy game crossover game.
Suda realized that it would take too long for a development cycle to go through all the paperwork involved with getting the OK for that.

So far have only done Snake, and that's because I misunderstood that one thing on the challenge board with him.

It was hardly cou,they made pretty clear the date you could redeem the free plant and said it would be for sale after.

Some tournament or something had an ad for Joker and the Fighters Pass, has people thinking they might be announcing the next character next week since there's a Direct rumored for then anyway.
Next character will probably determine whether or not I end up buying the Fighters Pass or if I just buy Joker and whatever other characters end up interesting me (if any given, like, zero of the rumors are doing anything for me) separately. Given by all signs it's going to be Erdrick... Yeah, I'm probably going to end up just buying Joker.

Considering I already bought the Fighters Pass, I have to pretty much ride with whatever Nintendo throws my way.
I'm interested in other stuff, like returning stages and Mii costumes.

I'm mostly hoping for DLC echoes at this juncture. Mii skins could be neat, although with modding already being a thing any real use for them is rapidly fading, but the taller Miis have kind of killed a lot of the appeal for me (for instance, the thing's WAY too tall to really feel like Ashley now, despite there being a suitable voice for it). Don't really have any expectations of quality of the Fighters Pass by this point although we'll see on that one, and stages... Eh. The only ones that didn't make the cut that I really particularly miss are Pokefloats and Rainbow Road.

Well on single player mode I'm pretty darn good, but when I go online the bitter taste of defeat or "almost got them" becomes a common occurrence. Not to mention I get dinged with self destruct penalties almost all the damn time, but yet through all the frustration I push on which makes the fleeting victories I do eek out all the more sweeter.

So basically the 9.9 pursuit and how much the game dicks you around on that got me to the point I deleted the game just to get the satisfaction of killing it, because I am exactly that kind of petty asshole. While waiting for it to redownload decided to play some 4 for the first time in awhile and...
Yeah, I think 4 is WAY more fun to play than this game. The more floaty feel of it and heavier emphasis on dodging are things I find way more enjoyable. Also just being able to edit your rules on the fly and picking a stage after the characters feels so much more natural it's ridiculous.

www.dexerto.com/smash/nintendo-under-fire-lying-about-players-lagging-smash-tournament-349765Nintendo been hosting a Smash Tournament online and they got caught laying about the online lag that happening in the game. During one of the match, lag started happening so Nintendo decided to cut away back to the announcer and try to blame it on something else. Doesn't surprised me since Nintendo basically told people to buy a $40 lan port because they have no plan to fix their shitty online service anytime soon.

I actually was watching the replay of the event and saw that. I think they took the video down, though. Other than that, I thought it was a fun watch. The Northeast announcers were a lot of fun and really got me into the action. The other qualifying rounds had some knowledgeable people, too, but I just really enjoyed the Northeast guys.

I watch a little bit of it yesterday and it was fun. I dont blame for announcers for this. It seem like Nintendo pulling a WWE and trying to lie about a problem that been going on since the Wii era.

So you're telling me fans aren't actually chanting "Let's Go Fire Emblem!" at Smash esports events, then?
