Thankfully _I got it from Amazon, so I can if nothing else recover my money. But Amazon is sold out of them like, it seems, everywhere else, so I can't trade it for a new one, which means no smashing in gamecube pad for me. Well, might as well try. Thanks for the replies!

So yesterday I had been playing some Smash with my new GC adapter, having some fun in For Glory... and suddenly today the gamecube controller doesn't seem to be getting detected much as I mash A. As you can imagine, this is rather a bummer. Mostly I'm posting this to see if this kind of thing...

Viridi is a jerk. It's a big part of her character. Of course she's going to be making hurtful remarks. Duh.

Oh, a little thing. A lot of people try to see feuds between Mario and Luigi, a resentment by the younger brother or a dismissal by the older one. This couldn't be further from the truth. Despite their differences in personality and hobbies, the Mario brothers positively adore each other -...

Pollyanna (I Believe in You) appears in one of the stage builder videos. Given that that is the name given to the vocal version in the soundtrack CD, we might have reason to hope for that very same vocal version. Which is all sorts of great.

Well. I admit I have a little extra practice. I played Pit in a Super Robot Wars RP game (riding Cherubot) for like a year. Had some time to get his voice.

Lucina is happy as a clam to be here. She loves a good fight like nobody's business, and being able to regularly cross swords with people like Link, Marth, Ike, Pit or Meta Knight is basically the best vacation ever to her. Samus and Rosalina are in very good relations. Being raised by the...

In general, Pit is not so much super stupid as tremendously naive and lacking any brain->mouth filter, while Palutena has a cynical undertone and Viridi is an openly sarcastic brat. Pit also frequently likes people who show themselves to be badass. Pit: This guy is SO cool! After this fight I...

Personally, I like the new Bowser. It reminds me of the Bowser in Bowser's Inside Story, this big, brawny, wrestley, but surprisingly fast dude that just punched THROUGH enemy attacks and gave no ****s while laughing. Had they given him a roary voice instead of just Godzillaesque sounds and not...

Hmmm, that is a good point. Lag making people a bit slower to react and shield might be what is making me able to dtilt with such impunity, because I swear it's working more often than not. I probably shouldn't get into the habit just in case.

I have been finding some success with dtilts against some characters with long rolls rolling through me to escape. If you are very confident of your timing you can make that a utilt, but dtilt is being more reliable for me as a way to get some poke in and chase - and sometimes the unexpectedness...

Given I do it myself, it would be horribly hypocritical of me if it irked me. I'm trying to find a main. I can only do that if I try more than one character. So I switch between like a dozen characters constantly, with varying levels of success.

I've been having to shift my playstyle significantly when facing a good Wario. He's very hard for me to keep at that arm's distance that Rock works so well in his zone game. An important discovery I made in my second match is that a metal blade will knock Wario off his motorbike. Still, I feel...

Yeah, Smash is a very accesible game - it's one of its strengths, and what keeps it selling gangbusters. That means that anyone can play a bit, and practice relatively easily until they find the level they find themselves comfortable at, be it simply able to take out the level 9 CPUs or being...

Man, don't remind me. Where the heck did that come from.
