Man, I'm trying to have fun online but I'm just losing every, single, match. It seems like I'm only pitted against better opponents. The fun level is dropping fast
Whenever I start losing a lot I like to save a replay and watch it. Often times you'll be embarrassed of how predictable/clumsy you are, it's a good way to pick out your own habits and think about what you could have done better. Take breaks, you'll go on a winning streak soon enough.
Eh, tbf that's more on how Japan medical culture works than specifically Sakurai's problem.
After playing FFVII, I learned we were denied Cloud fist pumping in his victory animation before he swings his sword
it sucks that the Cloud amiibo doesn't do anything in FFVII
and that Ryu doesn't do anything for the SF collection
stay winning, Bayonetta

I feel like Ryu & Ken's Amiibos would do something for a new SF game (see Mega Man 11). A shame that USFIV & SFV have Sony exclusivity deals and SFVI will probably never hit the Switch.
USFII:TFC is technically new and they don't do anything for that either
Ryu got to give Yoshi a skin in Woolly World!
that puts it ahead of every pokemon amiibo
Hopefully no nerfs, or at least any major ones. From playing and watching competition I don't think anyone looks downright oppressive. Would like to see small buffs given to mid-high tier and big buffs given to those with huge flaws.
buff the lower tier characters
like yeah yeah yeah tiers are subjetive they change day to day ya'll know what i mean
Got into Elite Smash with Lucas and made some headway, proceeded to lose it all. Ness is absolutely my worst match up and I'm enough of a moron to constantly fall into Ganondorf's Smash attacks.
Fuck Incineroar's Revenge. He should not be able to do 80+ damage off a single hit. That's bullshit.

Anyone else kind of low-key hoping they add Intense mode to World of Light just to see Nairo and friends try it spiritless.
Hard WoL alone has been juciy for the reactions, could you just imagine Intense? https://youtu.be/xNRG-ugbfJQ?t=347

Try using Piranha Plant if you want a worthless character
I wish it was a lot better than it is...
Is it really? I never bought it but I've fought good ones online. For a while I never won against them.
Lucas is a pretty solid character, some rough matchups sure, but nothing unwinnable. You should head to the lucas discord if you are feeling like you arent making any progress.
Lucas has so many options once he gets you off stage, d-smash on ledge, pk freeze, pk thunder, fair off stage, bair off stage, pk fire. Almost any one of those is a kill. As for neutral, short hop fair and retreating pk fire are great. nair is good out of shield and full hop dair can catch alot of people.
Lucas feels best at mid range, I find I lose with him alot if im going in too much.

Do you have a link? I've tried youtube tutorials but there aren't really any.

The only reason Plant isn't considered the worst character in the game is because Little Mac exists
I posted some thoughts as well to help out, as for the link
https://smashcords.com/smash-5#
just scroll down and click on lucas. I was considering maining lucas for a bit so I was in the discord for a bit and there is some good resources there.
A speedier back air would do wonders.
Spoken like someone who doesn't main Shiek
Thank you kindly.
I tend to try and zone with Lucas using PK Fire and ZAir, but I think my issue is that he feels like too much effort for little payoff. People keep falling out of DAir which leads to punishes, and he feels like he doesn't have a lot of options to approach, and what he does have is slow and unafe. Like whenever I fight Donkey Kong, as an example, I can't get close without getting wrecked.
I feel like plant needs some better aggressive aerials. She needs to be able to discourage opponents from simply running and camping her. With that being said I think plant could actually be pretty good in doubles.
Yeah, my personal take is lucas definitely struggles if people get on top of him, which is why he isnt high tier. That being said, resetting the neutral isnt too hard for him and his zone where he is dangerous is definitely scary for alot of opponents. Lucas rewards people who are patient enough to crack open their opponent without getting too aggressive. IMO

That's probably the crux of my issues then. While I try to be patient with Lucas I vastly prefer rushdown and constant pressure, which is probably why I have better results with Ness, who can zip around the arena throwing out damage and PK Fire traps.
Plant's decent, but has some major issues. He's a fast faller, but has a weird jump that doesn't take advantage of it. Plant's attacks that would be decent for neutral are all very short range. Decent aerials in a vacuum, but with their fall speed they just end up being awkward to hit with.
I will miss the Landing Lag Lightning Round but that was so nice. Recreating G&W's congratulations video was also a cute touch. I hope he does Bayonetta next just because...wow, what a change.
Also the crouch segment reminds me of this great video from smash 4
wow that's the thumbnail huh
I hope this 3.0 update gives my piranha plant some buffs, the app better be included in this too, taking too long for just an app
Remember that one time they had Infantry and Tanks as a spirit battle and the battle was exclusive to the event because I&Ts is a store exclusive?
They haven't did that again, which is a shame. Stuff like that would make these more interesting. I'd love to see what Majora's Mask's spirit battle is.
Piranha Plant isn't useless, but it's one of the worst characters in the game. It doesn't really offer anything.
You know it occurred to me, what if there's actually 3 modes being added in the 3.0 update?
Like yeah the teaser only (seemingly) teased 2 modes, but I started thinking about how there's all these left over bonus game/race to the finish layouts
And, hey, what if those weren't left over ideas and instead planned for their own mode? Seems about as relevant as the left over homerun contest & stage builder listings you know?
It's possible that the Infantry & Tanks spirit battle is just accidentally marked to not show up in the spirit board and they never fixed it?
Which is to say they probably haven't done it again because the other spirits don't have spirit battles just sitting around.
The answer is clear, 3.0 should:
-add new spirits
-give a spirit battle to every spirit who doesn't have one
-put the WoL exclusive spirit battles on spirit board OR, at least, put them in special events. Like Ho-oh has one but I am pretty sure that was not in the recent Flying spirit board event.
Oh by the way, the Smash Art Dojo results are in the news posts now. I love Sakurai's comment on the best shot.

They should hold a boss battle spirit board event so I don't have to beat WoL again to get Marx and Dracula
I mean, Olimar exists. I think there are far more useless characters than PP.
Olimar is one of the best characters in the game
The only character consistently ranked worse than Piranha Plant is Little Mac
Little Mac seems like one of those characters that's difficult to balance for 1v1 without breaking him in FFAs
idk what Plant's excuse is

Olimar has like 1 move, can't stand him. Awful character.
PP isn't even in the same universe as Olimar. I'm not a huge Lil Mac fan either but I'd play him a million times before I play Olimar.
Can I just point out how much I love the new Electroplankton song?
I mean, you can hate Olimar all you want, most people share the sentiment because a good Olimar is really annoying to fight against.
But he's easily one of the best characters in the game. Piranha Plant is fun, but in terms of viability, it is terrible.
