Progenitor Posted August 27, 2015 Report Share Posted August 27, 2015 I think this might actually coincide with the shovel knight DLC that's going to be dropping soon. I believe the dev team did say that they wanted to implement some special features for the Nintendo systems at some point. If it is smash related though I'm not complaining. A more close range Megaman-type character sounds awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flame Dragon Posted August 27, 2015 Report Share Posted August 27, 2015 I'm sure news is most likely spreading as we speak, so keeping a lid on it might be difficult. Having said that, I suppose the packaging on that amiibo is different because they didn't want to reveal it for Smash yet if it was Smash related. Besides, I'm sure employees at that store only have themselves to blame for this. That would only make sense if the Amiibo wasn't a leak. The different packaging leads me to think it isn't Smash related, but we're likely to know in a few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though with PAX beginning tomorrow, we'll definitely know by Monday at the latest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Progenitor Posted August 28, 2015 Report Share Posted August 28, 2015 Just played this awesome shulk on For Glory for like 10 straight games. He was right at my level. Really helped me work on my Charizard and learn the matchup. Speaking of which, if any 3ds peeps want to go at it for a bit, I want to work on finalizing my Zard. Add me and then either post he or shoot me a PM saying you have added, from which I will add back and host. 4055-3385-6172 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake the Sage Posted August 28, 2015 Report Share Posted August 28, 2015 So I now have 14 Lvl 50 amiibo. The list is the following:MarioLuigiYoshiPrincess PeachKing BowserLinkZeldaDonkey KongDiddy KongKirbyPikachuPacmanSonicMegaman I can easily get Shiek whenever I want, and I've seen a Toon Link before, but I've not been able to find any of the others- meaning I'll have to order them online.

Shradow Posted August 28, 2015 Report Share Posted August 28, 2015 So speaking of amiibos: 1. That was a funking fantastic commercial, I don't care what anybody says.2. At least if he gets in to Smash Bros. they've got an amiibo ready for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Progenitor Posted August 28, 2015 Report Share Posted August 28, 2015 As expected nothing relating to smash. Though now that his Amiibo already exists it would make integrating Shovel Knight into Smash that much easier should he actually somehow find a way in.

Fusion X. Denver Posted August 28, 2015 Report Share Posted August 28, 2015 If you guys are ever casually smashing with friends, I have a fun game for you.Every round, someone has to pick a theme and then everyone picks a character they think fits the theme."Best wingman""Was cool in high school, not so much now""Browses 4chan"etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Progenitor Posted August 29, 2015 Report Share Posted August 29, 2015 Welp, back from the tourney. Made it to losers semis. Of course I got knocked out round 1 Cuz I was facing my good friend whose and Ike main and loves to spam counter, stop spamming counter for awhile, and then kill you with a counter. I SDed in 2 of the 3 games too. So that sucked. I used Charizard in my way through Losers. Pretty much rekt everyone. However the dude I faced in semis was GOOD. Like holy sheet. He played Pikachu and Link. His Link was absolutely rediculous. Lost game 1 with zard, ALMOST beat his link with my zard with the kill throw landing on the Tree in Duck hunt from 30%. Really cheeky on my part but it could have worked at 40%. I managed to take game 3 with Mac. He switched back to Link game 4, and knowing I couldn't beat him with zard I reluctantly stayed on Mac, and just barely lost when I held the ledge for a tad too long at 170% (your invincibily on the ledge runs out faster on the ledge. Who knew?) And he d-tilted me into the skybox. That dude made it to grands though so whatevs. I probably should have gone Falco game 4. I totally forgot I kinda knew the character enough and that's a very bad matchup for link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fusion X. Denver Posted August 29, 2015 Report Share Posted August 29, 2015 That's a shame mate. I always try to mix up the moves I use so I don't get accused with spamming; I recently had that with Link because I kept using projectiles one after the other for zoning. Actually, how do you guys look up locals? I'm guessing Smashboards, but I only saw big tournaments listed when I looked, like for the whole Midwest, or in Canada, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Progenitor Posted August 29, 2015 Report Share Posted August 29, 2015 Mine wasn't actually a local. My friend and his brother did a week of events in June to raise money for MS. One of them was a smash tourney. Everyone had such a blast that they decided to do another one, and now they are gonna try to do one monthly. In June I managed to place 3rd, though the tourney was single elimination vs.this one which was much more official in structure (winners was best of 5, losers best of 3, all semis and up best of 5). And he knows he shouldn't spam counter. But he'll just keep doing it the middle of your strings until you get the read once, upon which he'll stop almost entirely. Then when you try to string him again, he'll whip out a knee jerk counter that kills you at 60. Yeah that's right. I was Mac game 3. Sd'ed my first stock Cuz I accidently hit R and air dodged to my death instead of grabbing the ledge. Destroyed his 1st stock. On the third one I try to do the old D-Tilt > F-Smash angled downwards > missed tech up smash. He countered the f smash and killed me at 60 from mid FD. Why? If you didn't know, angling Mac's f-smash downwards does more damage, more shield damage, but less knockback, allowing it to actually combo into other moves. However counters don't care about knockback. They care about damage. So a 25% f-smash will definitely kill when countered. He's so cheeky he's not as good as me but I never beat him he's just that guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Βyakuya Posted August 29, 2015 Report Share Posted August 29, 2015 In a C. Falcon only tourney, both players must do an obligatory "COME ON" or "SHOW ME YOUR MOVES" at the start or else it's heresy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agro Posted August 30, 2015 Report Share Posted August 30, 2015 Just got back from my locals, lol. Got 3rd in Doubles, which was nice because it was my first time playing doubles. Teamed with one of the two guys I knew the best at my locals, who's a Zelda main that just happens to be in the WI power rankings. Got several quality wins, two of which were streamed, so I'll probably post those in here once they get uploaded. Otherwise, you can watch it here starting at 1:23:00: http://www.twitch.tv/eventhorizon/v/13429786 Singles I scrubbed out HARD. Lost in winners to a Meta Knight that came out of nowhere and ended up making it all the way to Winner's Finals. Lost in losers to a guy that I never imagined losing to in my life. Got one win out of that, though, so it wasn't the worst, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
