i will say that the terrible character designs did scale down nicely into sprites. though as many have noted, the quality difference between some of them is pretty major.

they're very clear/legible, but some just are pretty bleh (hello zetterberg and wrastor). i like the six-pack beetle though some of his animations are super lame. the rest don't really bother me, and maypul and absa in particular are nice.

do NOT play this with a fight stick. i say this as someone who loves fight sticks.

I picked this game up this morning and Kragg is my jam.

My only issue is that the game seems to bias my analog stick inputs to the side variants of moves, even though my stick is very much pointed down or up. Has anyone else experienced this? My controller's calibration seems fine.

I have found that as well, although for me it's not consistently one way or the other (ie doing sides when I wanted up/down or up/down when I wanted sides). I'm not sure what's going on there tbh.

its very likely to be a deadzone issue, if you spend some time messing with the sticks in x360ce you should be able to make it perfect.

people I've been playing need to work on their recovery (and so do I), and here's a page that explains this game's unique recovery mechanics: http://bigfriendlygames.net/2015/09/20/recovery-mechanics/

Also someone was poking around in the files and found this;



People are assuming its for Abyss Mode and is basically Smash 4's custom fighters, but the guy who found it seems adamant that it won't split the community and isn't what people think it is (but won't elaborate), so we'll see

I've been having trouble getting dash dancing to really work right on a gamecube controller, but literally everything else works fine so I'm not really sure what to do to fix it without loving something else up. I might just play on a 360 pad because I've gotted used to it and actually like it now

messing around last night i realized you can double maypul's jump height by using her up-air the moment you press jump

You can use this to really improve her recovery after a wall cling as well. If you want to recover from low as maypul and don't have/want to use the vine, side-b to the wall, cling, release and immediately up-air then side-b or up-b onto the stage.

I never really got hardcore into smash, hell I didn't even know how to wavedash before yesterday. Picked this up yesterday afternoon and HOO BOY THIS GAME. It's nice having my accuracy go up from 20% to 45% and start to get a feel for the combos/mechanics, I'm not getting dominated nearly as much as I was when I started. gently caress every good Kragg player though.


How does he keep cancelling his up-special like that?

Playing random other kraggs online has taught me a lot of tricks, we should play sets some time and I can help you with the match-up

Sure, add me. I'm a big gay firebaby lion pretty much all the time though, so don't think less of me.

Also how the gently caress do I make maypul's jump work? I get that you have to have a mark on a target for it to work, but I just can not trigger the vine pull with any regularity.

You need to hold the button rather than just tap it.

I think the fire lion has a pretty bad matchup against Kragg, as soon as he gets you offstage you're probably dead.

Having said that, Ptarmigans consistently destroys me no matter which side of the matchup I'm on.

Feels like everyone pwns everyone if they can follow up the first hit. Feel like the only way i can recoup at times to reset neutral is to get a perfect parry off but im terrible at it sooo I die.

Trying to figure out how to do quick set ups/defend as orca so I don't get constantly tossed around with no up b to recover with. Gaffe was kicking my booty last night with maypul, couldn't do anything on the ground against that fucker

I played against a good Wrastor earlier, dealing with marth aerials on metaknight is hard. FOrtunately his kill options are really limited from what I've seen, though that might just be people not knowing confirms into Strongs yet

A juicy up air string into tornado kill off the top is the funniest and most satisfying kill in the game imo

Basic mechanics of Smash Bros, tuned and balanced more carefully to make it a for-real fighting game.

It's not like Smash in that you know all the characters. It's like smash in that every character is Frankensteined from the most fun parts of all the really good characters in all the Smash games, and also in the control scheme and objective.
