Between Link and Villager, I'm making real headway with WoL.

I’m loving this game in Smash mode and Classic, but try as I might, I just can’t get in to WoL. It just feels like there is no sense of progression, it always seems too hard or too easy. With Classic mode the progression is far more tangible, with it scaling to match your efforts (and assigning a numerical value), and a Smash vs cpu is rewarding as you can keep bumping the difficulty level and add more items etc to match your progress). WoL just frustrates the hell out of me, which is a shame as I was really looking forward to it.

I think I would prefer it if there was no levelling system (it feels arbitrary to me as you always have loads of snacks to boost spirits), and it was a more focused test of defeating specific scenarios.

Curious if this is some kind of mistranslation but in my music you can create a playlist which specifically says "listen to while you battle". But you can't actually do that? Not sure what this alludes to.

sounds like a mistranslation, i do recall something about using smash as a music player, but i dont see what battles itd be referring to

You could have tried it. Then let us know.

Was taking me a while to click with the new mechanics and things were feeling a bit sluggish for a while. Then I remembered that one of my HDMI channels is optimised specifically for gaming and I swapped my WiiU out for my Switch and it was instantly so much more responsive :lol:

Really enjoying the single player content on this, plenty to get on with. Think I've unlocked up to about 44ish characters now.

Trying to get my head around all the changes to Link and also get adept with Young Link to satiate that classic Link feeling. However this time round, I'm enjoying many other characters compared to in Smash 4 where I only really clicked with Link. The overall boosts to mobility compared to 4 really helps a lot of the other characters too.

There's a "how to play" thing if you wait at the main menu for a bit.

Just tried to watch this.

It does nothing to tell you what the actual buttons are :fp:

I find this with most fighting games, you don't get told the buttons, it tends to just be HP or LK, and the like.

Press A to pick up pokeballs and then press A again to throw them

Had a good session with Jazzem the other day. My Ganondorf his King K Rool. Recorded the replays via my capture card, uploaded them and then put them into this playlist: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0uISIZ8 ... XX4nq-r1jZ

Thought I'd get them up before that upcoming update which will make the replays un-usable.

Camera's a bit of a mess at the start of the first game because I'm pressing the wrong buttons on the GCC's cramped d-pad to remove the buttons display. Considered using the game's in-built video-converting function at first, but among other issues I don't have a micro-SD for it yet, so I couldn't even use it. Also Jazzem did win some of the matches but it only occurred to me late on in the session to save all the replays. Is a bit of a shame since I enjoyed all those matches.

Ganondorf is pretty nice to play as. Not really considering maining him, but he's fun and in some ways he's the best he's ever been (definitely better than in Smash 4 or Brawl). The reduced/uniform lag before jumping has definitely helped him and the other heavy characters, since it was one thing that plagued them before.

Looking forward to playing some actual local multiplayer matches soon with people soon and getting better.

I love Ganon and usually play him as much as I ever "main" anyone.

Probs around tonight for some arena battles if anyone else is!

There's no option to choose your playlist before you start a match. You can't just let it play out it either because it will switch to the selected stage music. Just seems such an odd way of phrasing it >,>

Does he still play like a hefty Captain Falcon or have they changed him since Melee?

Ultimately still that, however they have redone his animations so he at least looks more visually distinct. In particular his charged Smash attacks now utilise his sword which looks all kinds of badass.

I also completed World of Light 100% (Normal difficulty). Absolutely massive Adventure Mode, though I have some conflicting thoughts on it. Probably would play it again in future, but not for a while yet.

Still have yet to start WoL. I'm in a loop with offline labbing, classic mode runs and spirit battles which has been surprisingly fun.

I found this last night, it was beyond me

Use the cupid spirit. Zap her with the staff that gives you at the start. 3 times in quick succession and she's outta there.

Pyra's spirit battle has to be some kinda cruel joke I mean how in the heck >,>

Also, Patch is already out, brace yourselves. They mention which characters we're "balanced" but no notes on what even got changed. I guess we doing this again huh.
