Is the final difficulty really that hard or is it just me. I use link, zelda and ganon - I have the most trouble in multi man brawl style battles. This is specially true with fast characters.

I just thought that if I'm good enough it wouldn't be that hard.

Or rather if you find it easy, that means you are good at online player battles and that if you beat the game, you are hard to beat online

I was actually able to clear Classic Mode on Intense difficulty without continuing. Of course, I was playing with 5 lives.

I used Wolf, and didn't lose any lives until stage 8. Was down to my last life against Master Hand (no Crazy Hand fortunately), but managed to survive.

All-Star mode on intense is harder, but to be honest, MK makes all the 1 player modes easier.
Seriously.

I managed to clear both Clasic and All-Star on Intense without continues with Snake, but still, MK makes everything easier LOL.

First two or so matches are fairly easy, afterwards it gets practically impossible.

Agreement with Eternal Yoshi.

I agree, I can't seem to finish Classic mode on intense with 5 stocks.I fail in general against CPU's. Level 1's have so much mindgames. :urg:

beating classic on intense is really a luck-of-the-draw type game.

some rounds, youll consecutively breeze through certain matchups with ease. other times, you just get nailed by certain giant/metal fights (olimar -_-) where its almost impossible to escape without losing one or even two stocks per fight.

the kirby universe round is generally the make-or-break imo. if you can get by with only one stock lost, consider yourself lucky (team ddd? giant MK? **** THAT)

Kirby characters are so ridiculously cheap in Classic, and Giants are just evil....

And Scabe is absolutely correct in his statement.

yea Insane is pretty hard well IMO but I don't play as much anymore, I usually play singles with friends and stuff or train on lvl 9's... well anyways you use Link, Zelda and Ganon 3 lowest tiers and yea I know tiers are mostly for tournaments and playing real players but they do take effect in the single player too... because well those charecters suck, (and yea I know I main Link I admit he sucks)

Again I have never beaten Insane with any charecter yet (I main in link and he sucks... and I can't play many other charecters well) so yea I think it's pretty hard... IMO

Which is why Intense Mode is pretty much not hard because you play it just like any other difficulty, but it gives unfair advantages to the CPU like lowering the player's kill power while at the same time increasing the CPU's weight and kill power. Beating Intense isn't really an accomplishment.

Boss Mode on Intense is pretty legit however.

-it's kinda hard if your tryingto keep all your stocks (assuming 3) but if your just trying to beat it then not at all ^^.

Not taking continue(s) into consideration, Classic is much harder than Boss Battles on Intense, but still considerably easier than All-Star.

Giant Snake is bull****.

Honestly though, outside of giant Snake/Kirby characters, the only actual challenge of Intense is clearing it fast enough to fight both Crazy and Master Hand, which requires a lot of luck in the first 3-4 matches.

For me it wasn't that hard, but going against Giant Kirby/Meta-Knight is virtually a OHKO at Halberd since the first thing they usually do is drop and nair, so I usually have to reset if I'm trying to do a one-stock run if that happens.

The SSE is a nightmare on Intense in some of the levels though.

Right, in melee I never could have done classic without using continue, I didn't thought it was hard... (not including all stars, I hate all stars >.<)

I would give you or anyone mad props if you beat it.

my younger brother would get his butt spanked by any of you guys 1 on 1, but boss battles on intense: he's pretty good¡!

now as for what killer Jaws said about the subject; you're a big boss, or the samus queen(king)!¡ so i guess it would be easy for ya, but not if i pick sammy. if you were to youtube that i would be so envious

Agreed to Giants ****.

I can do very well on Very Hard, but I'll give Intense a try. Let you know what I thought.

I've managed to reach Master Hand three times with only one stock without continuing, but he's faster than what I'm usually accustomed to and his 360 HP doesn't help. I got him down to 17 HP before he flicked me off the stage, but thankfully the notice allows for continues.

Giants are the worst for me, as a single opening can mean your death.

I found Boss Battles Intense easier.

All-Star Intense without continues I will never be able to complete.

Yeah classic on intense is pretty hard, however Boss Battle on intense was pretty easy with Captain Falcon.

i can easily beat cpus in 1v1 on intense, but the team battles are always a challenge. my teammate never helps me and gets ko'ed in less than a minute.

That tends to be what happens on the higher difficulties (happened in Melee too). Just stick with him as best as you can.

Also, beating intense can come down to luck sometime, namely the giant characters. They'll kill you at 66% sometimes. But, then they walk off or something.
