she's still marth-lite and that's better than chrome could ever hope to be
chrome is essentially little mac with a sword and (arguably) an even worse recovery - one that doesn't even have i-frames like lucina or the horizontal capability of mac's.

Spirit Board has surprisingly been the mode that has gotten the most attention for me. There's always something to do and characters to try out.
After hearing so much bad stuff about the online, I had been kind of avoiding playing it. But I played about an hour and it was better than expected. Really really really dependent on the other player's connections, but at least the fix to the preferred matchmaking seems to have made a difference. Got all 1v1s, no FFAs or anything. Eventually found a solid Mewtwo player and sparred for 5 or 6 games. The Mewtwo/Yoshi matchup is really good for offstage shenanigans.
Was kind of surprised it starts you around 1.8 million GSP. Figured it would start you at 1 or unranked or something.

It starts you higher and higher as time goes on, at launch I think I started around 500k? Little intimidating to get back in at this point because of it.
Chrom is good, there's absolutely 0 debate around that. He just might not be one of the top 5 GOAT as many had thought him to be.
I finally spent a good amount of time online today but focused on Arenas . I think this will be my preferred method of play since everyone seems a lot more into just having fun. I was seriously addicted for hours and couldn't put the controller down as if the game just came out. Really good connections, really great Team play, good players, considerate players. It was the best online experience I've ever had in any Smash bros online setting. Today completely changed my mind about the games online in general.
I complained about this earlier in the thread. It's really dumb and I have no idea why it's like that. Only way to avoid it (seemingly) is to play with random stage selection.
I hope he sticks with PT, its looking real nice already. That set with Gluttony might be the best Ultimate set thus far.

Im the only one that when playing the Paper Mario stage, when it changes from the land part to the pirate ship part, and the (i suppose) main music from that stage sounds, the only thing that can hear is the intro of the tiny toons when the warner bros logo fades away?
Starts in 1:08
Every time I hear that sound I start mumbling, we're tiny, we're looney... lol

When I play with a character I haven't played with much and it's gsp is only around 1 million why does it match me with 2.5+ million gsp players and not around 1 million gsp players like my character
I have no idea what I'm doing in this game. SO many menus and options. Playing through WoL first, the characters I unlock in battles can't be used here? It's only giving me Mario, Kirby and Villager to choose from, but if I choose a smash battle I have about a dozen fighters unlocked. Makes no sense to me. Also the Spirit board, what's the point of that? I fought some spirits and unlocked them from the spinning wheel shooter, but can't seem to use them in battles? I have to be missing something.
World of light is it's own thing as a big campaign, characters you unlock there will be unlocked for everything else but not vice versa. The spirit board is an additional way to fight the sprit battles, some of which can also be fought in World of Light. You should be able to equip the spirits you collect there before going into a spirit battle, if you optimize your loadout by pressing y on the spirit equip screen you should see them cycle through eventually. Just keep playing, there's a lot to Ultimate and frankly the best way to learn is by simply playing and learning as you go
Characters unlocked in WoL can be used elsewhere, but not vice versa. Spirits unlocked on the spirit board can be used in the WoL.
Btw, if this is your first Smash, I'd strongly recommend classic mode first (Games & More -> Classic Mode), as it is much more basic than WoL.
Thanks, I'll try that, Not my first Smash Bros, but first in a long time, so I'm not sure of all the intricacies, like how the hell do you warp back to a landing when knocked off the board, I just sink down and end in defeat.
Almost every character has a recovery move on up special (up + b), and every character also has at least one midair jump. Characters like Pit and Kirby are very easy to play as they can jump/fly multiple times and both have good recovery moves too :)
You mean WAH WAH WARRRIIOOO
Edit: Never mind, SPACE DRAGONS FOREVER

He's not bottom tier or anything, but he's absolutely not good.
My highest is 2.84 million with dark samus and I have no elite right now.
I feel like I've hit a ceiling at the moment and I'm having a hard time trying to break through, and that's defense and movement. I panic and dodge roll a lot, and this is something I noticed when I don't play my more keep away characters. It's just bad habits and I have no idea how to practice this and get better at shielding. It's really discouraging and I have no clue what to do. Having troubles with what to do in terms of getting back to the ground as well.
All the characters I play are in varying points of 2 mil on GSP, but I feel like this is what is keeping be from breaking through. :s Any tips ?

Smash United Top 48 stream is on here for now.
Salem just won a set and man his Link is just amazing. Glad that Link is finally getting time to shine.

So there is this Fighter in WoL that I don't know how to get to. It's in the Zelda Map to the right in the forest. It's next to a chest but I have no clue how to get there.
Can anybody help?

Go into one of the open chests.
I had to look it up too. I don't know how they expect you to know this.
There is a hint owl that outlines it, I believe, but it's vague and still not very intuitive. I still had to look it up because I had already looped around the forest several times.
Something I'm really enjoying about spirits is how obscure they got with them. Like, I just unlocked a character from a Japanese-only Creatures, Inc. puzzle game for GBA called "Nonono Puzzle Chalien." I looked up some gameplay and it actually looks very cool, like something that would make a fun simple mobile game today - I never would have known about it without spirits. I can't even find much or any English-language discussion about it - this Wiki page seems to be one of the only sources of information on the game, along with this blog post from 2005. It's apparently a spin-off of a game called Chee-Chai Alien for Gameboy Color, which had a DSiware followup that actually did come out outside of Japan, called Spin Six.
Anyway, here's the trailer for Nonono Puzzle Chalien, it's fucking crazy.
I'm looking forward to investigating more of these deep cuts as I make my way through the Spirit Board.

I'd try to think of it as adding a new move to your reptrior instead of removing old habits. Go into matches planning to have nearly every attack be a true out-of-shield option after blocking an attack. Outright spam it until the opponent proves that they're going to consistently grab you until you stop.
You'll naturally stop panic rolling after you prove to yourself how good it is to block instead.
So Salem makes Top 8 most likely gonna face Zero, MKLeo is in a Top 8 qualifier and then final Top 8 winner spot will go to either Dabuz or MVD. That winners side top 8 is looking to be stacked.
I just feel like I let my shield go too early and I end up getting hit still or they just grab immediately after their attack is blocked. I've kinda been forcing myself to just shield. I guess I'm having trouble with the application of when to do either, and it's screwing with my reaction times.:s
Once I found the hint Owl that told me it seemed obvious, but that was probably only because I had spent about 25 minutes running all over trying to figure out how to get into that spot and had the forest area memorized.
Muteace took a game off of Zero.
Wow the end of that second game was unfortunate
