DoctorWhat posted:Just get a replacement stick cap, they're really easy to install with a triwing screwdriver. I replaced both of my stick caps with Wii Nunchuck sticks. Is there a suggested stick mechanism to purchase if the springs are loose and you want to do an overhaul? I know there has to be something like that out there because of the OCD secondary market around GCN controllers specifically for Smash, so I'm hoping I can get my controllers working good as new for a couple dollars of parts and an hour of soldering.

Xad posted:I have bad news lmaooooo that is some last century poo poo. At least I don't have to give people my IP address to join, I guess? I really thought I was just missing something simple. This is my first Nintendo console since the Gamecube, so even though Nintendo's gonna Nintendo, I was at least expecting it to be on the same level as PSO. I think it ends up being even worse, since the console tells me that my friends are online and playing, but there's no way to get a game going unless we're in a chat room or some poo poo.

Oh my God, when you beat classic with Lucina the picture you get is of her and wrestler Pikachu wearing luchador masks and posing. Please tell me that has something to do with that Super Slam video with the revoltech figures. I've never played any Fire Emblem games so as far as I'm concerned she's John Cena with a sword.

I fought the Boss while being way underlevelled using just the poison nullifier and it was so fuckin' intense with the Snake Eater music in the background. Having all the music from every game ever does so much to make it feel like you're actually fighting the spirit character and not just an alternate palette of whatever fighter it is. It took me like thirty tries but I was eventually able to pull it off, and the whole time I was pumped as hell instead of frustrated because the Boss is supposed to be insanely good at CQC.

lol, you guys have all been talking up the Pauline fight as being crazy hard so I held off even entering it for so long, but it's so easy as long as you're using the right spirits. I tried a couple times the normal way, then said screw this and went through my inventory. Equip the staff with as many gun buffs as you can fit and just fuckin' 360 no-scope her from across the stage and she's dead in literally less than a second. You have clear line of sight, and the staff gets more powerful the further away the target is. I burst out laughing when I sniped her and she flew off the screen before Mario could spawn.

Sydin posted:I actually beat 9volt+18volt, took about half an hour of trial and error bullshit but eventually I had a round where I got the first Galaga item and it carried off one guy, then got a throw + spike on the second. Almost threw my controller across the room getting there though, absolutely the most obnoxious fight I've had so far. Spergatory posted:Some fights definitely have harder/smarter CPUs than others, though. The Boss in particular will kick your rear end up and down the jungle if you try to fight her the "honest" way. For Dr. Wily I got a metal killer spirit and paired it with something that healed you every time you got a KO, and was able to pull it off on my first try, although I was cutting it real close. At least I was still able to, like, control my character.

Not sure if I'd go so far as to say it's better, but I can definitely play just as well as with my wavebird without any noticeable differences. Just needed to switch the Y button to special to keep myself from accidentally jumping all the time.

Holy Christ the Madama Butterfly spirit is savage on the stages where you get to use it. You basically have ∞HP. Also, I hate stamina battles, or at least the number of them in WoL. I don't wanna play conservatively to outlast the opponent, I wanna bumrush that prick and gently caress them up.

Just finished WoL. It ended up being a lot more engaging than I was expecting, and that end sequence sure was something.CodfishCartographer posted:Try not to use Down+B only for edge guarding, it's really useful all around! You can send it out early with a tap of B, or down+B if the knight has finished building. It comes out super fast and WILL make approaching you a pain in the rear end. It forces people to approach from above, which makes it very easy to predict what they'll do.

Any of you folks using the EB/Gamestop house brand LAN adapter (this one)? It specifically says it's compatible with the Switch, and I've tried two different ones with no luck. It works fine on my PC and shows up as having the correct chipset that the Switch is compatible with, but for some reason the Switch isn't detecting it. I'm gonna try on a friend's Switch dock to see if maybe that's it, but all the ports work fine with the GCN adapter. I just wanna play online without ruining everyone's connection.

Is playing online any better if you're playing in arenas with friends that are closeby? I'm almost ready to give up on quickplay because even with a LAN adapter the latency is ridiculous. On one match the last ten seconds took a full minute to count down while I watched the Monado plunge into my face in slow motion.

I'm trying to talk my friends into getting the online subscription for convenient smashing, but it's a hard sell when it runs this awful.

Is the temp banning for stuff like intentional SDs automatic, or does someone need to report you? I paired up with a Toon Link and we ended up in a team battle with two new people. One guy was lame and about a minute in he just SD'd three times and disconnected. Rather than just do an unfun 2v1 match I got rid of the rest of my stocks and got to watch a pretty close game. I didn't get blocked and we rematched a couple of times so they probably caught on to what I was doing and didn't report me, but I wanna make sure there isn't some kind of automated process that will block me for doing stuff like that.

Overuse of Farore's wind, throwing out Nayru's love after just about every move, only combo they know is set up phantom > din's fire and pray, rolling like it's still Smash 4, etc. It's kind of sad because I want to see good Zeldas but there are apparently no good Zeldas online. Zelda is fun as hell to play as, but I had to stop using her online because the input lag kept causing me to SD with Farore's Wind. I switched over to Wolf and I'm having a lot more fun now.

Except for the N64, which had confirm on the south and cancel on the... west? Being an OG 64 smasher using B as attack and Y as special feels so much more natural on a non-GCN controller, but A being the confirm button in menus and stuff but jump in-game weirds me the gently caress out. Right now I have both A and B set to attack and Y as special to satisfy my brain problems, and I can mash A+X to do a short hop.

Thanks to the person who suggested using spirits to make custom gametypes for playing with friends. We decided to give it a try by making a 3v1 against Little Mac decked out with four punch spirits and everyone had a blast, from newbies to experienced players. Just making up spirit combos for stuff like that is gonna be a lot of fun, I think.

creationist believer posted:It's also good to verify that the LAN adapter you purchase supports both USB 2.0 and USB 3.0. The Switch dock physically has one 3.0 port, but the firmware still only connects to devices with the 2.0 protocol right now. Someone else in this thread had trouble where they bought a LAN adapter that had the AX88179 chipset, but didn't fallback to 2.0 if plugged into a port that didn't support 3.0, so it didn't work with the Switch. Yeah, that was me. Hilariously all the "Compatible with Nintendo Switch!" adapters that GameStop sells don't work. The Startech one I replaced it with worked right out of the box, although I'm thinking of returning it since all my online games have still had tons of input lag.
