For the Frog the Bell Tolls

This has an assist trophy in 4 so there's a reasonable chance of it returning.

I was really surprised when I saw it in smash having only recently played it.

Zss and Ivysaur are stuck with garbage tethers that don't have any other horizontal or vertical boost.

Smash 4 ZSS has a good recovery with both her down and up specials giving solid mobility, and it looks like Ivysaur will be able to swap out for Charizard mid recovery in Ultimate.

How is the pro controller, anyway? I've been making do with the joycons the system came with but I've been considering picking up the pro so I don't destroy my hands playing monster hunter in a few days.

They are good with the exception of having a not so great dpad.

Game and Watch was pretty much the best for just goofing around in Melee. Tired of bacon and aerial keep-away games? Sure, have a random-rear end Nine Hammer, courtesy of the house. We're just making up the rules today.

I wish Melee Game & Watch didn't have such an inexplicably bad shield. I mean look at this, that's fully powered.

Did anyone play the last smash on a pro controller and have thoughts about it? Any reason to use a GameCube controller other than pure nostalgia?

I'm a big fan of Smash with the Wii U Pro controller, and other than the potential to get the wrong taunt I see no reason that the Switch pro controller won't work just as well.

I know it'll never happen but it would be cool if tournaments shifted to stamina matches.

Could you go into your reasoning as to why you'd want this?
The whole game has been balanced around getting knocked out of the blast zone. Characters that are good at racking up damage would do extremely well without needing any KO options or a good recovery, and there would be a whole lot less of the interesting offstage interactions.

Does anyone have any experience with external capture cards? I was thinking of getting one to route the video and audio of the game to my PC so I could get the audio to come through my studio monitors because my projector doesn't have audio out. Is this feasible or is there too much lag for good gaming? I guess as a bonus I could stream it as well.

I wouldn't expect to get the sound to sync up by going down that route, not to mention the hassle of getting it set up each time you wanted to use your Switch. I think you'd be better off using one of the many available devices that splits out the audio from an HDMI input to a 3.5mm/RCA output. Something like this, there are definitely cheaper ones available but I have no idea about their quality, I'd try to check reviews if you can.

I have the original Smash Ultimate press kit banner (before they added the new characters) in super hi res


Is there a good version of it around in its completed state? I can't seem to find it in HUGE res

I don't know how big your current one is, but this is the best that I've been able to find.

So I up smashed as Piranha Plant when G&W dropped a bomb on to me.

I think PP ate it?? Since his up smash is a upwards bite, the bomb literally just disappeared with the bite. Can he eat other projectiles dropped onto him this way?

G&W's bomb is slightly weird in that any hit box at all will make it vanish.

So do you just get some kind of damage/knockback multiplier when you're buried?

No, Smash 4 had a 0.7x knockback multiplier on buried characters but in Ultimate the knockback is standard. Interestingly, unlike in previous games, if you hit a buried opponent with an attack that doesn't deal enough knockback to unbury them, once they mash out they'll still have the knockback from the move. This can set up for some sneaky combos.

What score does your GSP have to be before you unlock Elite Smash for a character?

The cutoff will continually go up as more people play. It's probably in the region of 6.3 million right now.

That's odd, have you definitely set your rules properly and asked it to try and match with them? I wouldn't expect to come across those kind of rulesets at 4m+ otherwise. Also I don't believe your opponents can pick specific stages outside of battlefield and final destination, it's those or random all stages.

My views on people defending Nick game for being better than smash.

I think I missed the posts where people said that. Certainly aspects of it are better (looking at you netcode) but expecting a budget game from indie developers to match the amount of content and polish as Smash is absurd. Fun game though, I like playing as Repar, he has both speed and power.

One thing I can't figure out though is why the combos I've seen on YouTube don't seem to work for me.

I'm pretty sure I'm just doing it too slow probably, but man it feels like the hit stun is so short compared to what I've seen from the tutorials and match footage. Smash really is a game where you've gotta practice going fast

It's worth going in to training mode and turning down the game speed, once you get a feel for landing it in slow motion you can speed it up.
