Listener Questions

Kcross202What did you use to play joy cons or pro? And how did the buttons feel when playing?

The_navillusHow fluid was Mario moves? Any difference from older versions of him. How was the Inkling? Was he/she hard to control? Was collecting ink in battle difficult?

BradaloopHow does it compare to Smash Bros 4? Is it very different speed wise? Have combos drastically changed? How is the general gameplay compared to it?

GeorgebryansWhat is Inkling’s playstyle? Is it hard to track her ink levels? Is her neutral b good?

 

Lake Douglas Dimmadome

 

“Wassup fella/fellas! I’ve got a smash bros cast question for ya! With Dark Samus making the roster that makes 3 versions of Samus. With 3 Links also included, Mario must feel slightly sad. Sad Mario, what do you think the chances might be that we get some kind of Paper Mario announcement this year as the “2-D Mario game” with a new smash fighter inclusion? Dr. Mario is cool and all but they could really have some fun with a paper Mario move set, and for Mr. Nintendo (Mario) to have fewer forms than Link and Samus I think Sakurai might have some Paper Mario action in the works. Let me know what you guys think!”

I know you mentioned the people you played with all took time to try some small things out before you started playing, did you spam roll to see what the lag became?

Did the cinematic camera come into play for a “hard hit” was it distracting at all

Smash Tips:

Smash Character:

Smash Tips: Plucky4498

Pivot grab: Increase range of grab by a little(increased range depends on character) and can be used to read dashes or spot dodges, also are very helpful when playing a heavy character like Bowser and DK since they rely on grabs for many of their combos/kill combos.

Ledge Trump: This is grabbing the ledge and while your opponent is on it(Enemy will be forced off the ledge and do not get invincibility frames when grabbing a second time). The way to do it is run off stage and circle the thumbstick down and back just as the character moves off of solid ground.  Practice it in training with your character and you will then be able to recognize the frame where you circle the thumbstick.
