"It is bitter, yet tasty."
Didn't know someone used the same main and 2nd main as me. Nice. Anyway, I feel as though Ike's Quick Draw has about the same distance, maybe a little less. That said, the fact you can keep a little bit of momentum after hitting someone is really nice, especially when trying to recover, whereas you'd stop immediately after the swing in Brawl. His down tilt is much, much faster than it was in Brawl for sure, but the rest of his attacks are still kind of slow. That said, I think Ike got an overall nerf. More projectile-based characters aren't a welcome sight for Ike, and it doesn't help that Rosalina is basically the new Meta Knight. Meta Knight could edgeguard Ike to hell in Brawl, but Roaslina can just sit there and outcamp Ike like there's no tomorrow thanks to Luma.
I know they were kind of thrown away within the first couple of weeks after release, but has anyone come around and found a way to utilize the space animals (Fox and Falco) with consistency now that the game is nearly a month old?
so lookin at that in slow-mo...he bairs you, you bouncing fish as he upspecials, and the second he reappears, before he grabs the ledge, you land the first hit of bouncing fish, bounce back, and land the second hit of bouncing fish, causing him to go flying.
holy crap that was exquisite o_o
Ive got those and the 1000 KOs left. Who did you guys beat intensity 9 classic with? For me it was bowser.
Pic of the day. In Stage Builder, you can draw lines on your Wii U GamePad to create stages!! It might not be the easiest stage to battle on, but you can even make stages like this one. For more details on how this works, check out "Super Smash Bros. for Wii U: 50-Fact Extravaganza" (“Super Smash Bros. for Wii U: 50 Must-See Things”).

There are going to be people who do so many crazy things with that stage builder
let's be honest half of the stages will just be dicks
Box stage mark 2, let's go
I've been keeping up with Fox from the beginning and he's definitely not throwaway. Maybe falco but idk. I just don't play falco because of his changed aerial game. Anyway, Fox's nair is still n-airplane, all his other aerials give him great edge guarding potential, his custom blaster is god tier, his throws connect laser shots, up tilt combos, his pivot tilt is great, and his drill recovery koes at like 90 percent. Up smash is rly bad tho :/

Fox is alright. Not quite at the level he was at in Melee (which is probably a good thing,) but he's still pretty good. Aside from what Gato mentioned, Fox Illusion no longer leaves him in a helpless state when used mid-air, allowing him to immediately follow it up with Fire Fox (lol) and no longer dashes over the edge when used on the ground.
Falco is bad though.
Falco is bad though.
3 sided boxes with an open top were the shit in Brawl, especially if you made the realization that Lucario was the only character that could wall climb forever and that you could set a state height such that only he could get to the top.
I remember making one stage that was just a box with a tiny opening at the top. You spawned outside of the box because I forgot to put spikes on the top, but once you were in, you were getting up to like 400% before getting KO'd. It was so great watching everyone fly around, hitting the edges of the box.
Lucario was king on that stage.
Monado arts give you temporary buffs. There is one that boosts your defense so you don't get knocked back so easily (but makes you slower), one that increases your damage output/knockback, one that increases your speed, and one that increases your jump.
Clarification: The damage output and knockback powers are separate. These are the powers (in order seen when trying to activate):
Jump (Green): Jump increase
Speed (Blue): Speed increase
Shield (Yellow): Defense increase / more KB resistance
Buster (Purple): Damage increase (iirc, knockback is decreased)
Smash (Red): Knockback increase (iirc, damage done is decreased and it's easier to be KO'd with this power active)
Generally, I use Speed and Buster to rack up damage and then Smash to KO. I'll use Shield to keep from getting KO'd at high percents.

Don't use Jigglypuff period.
... What? I'm not telling you not to use her against Yoshi, I'm telling you not to use her at all.

Don't listen to the Zoroark, he is trying to confuse you with illusions of Jigglypuff not being woth using, but she is the best.
What exatly is you problem when fighting Yoshi, though?
Mostly his speed on the ground and ridiculously strong aerials which can't be outprioritized by Jigglypuff. Playing defensive doesn't work because he will just start throwing eggs at you and approaching is just way too risky from any side. But getting a decent chance to kill him is like literally impossible unless the Yoshi player is an idiot. B-air is too slow to connect in time and Yoshi's aerials have both quite the reach and speed so Rest is really really risky. N-Air seems fine if I can force him off stage, but even then, the super armor on the second jump makes it really difficult to properly WoP the dinosaur.
At least for me, maybe I'm just bad though.
Haven't tried fox, but Falco is pretty solid from my experience (don't know why people are dismissing him so easily). His tilts, dash attack, grabs and jabs are pretty amazing while his F-Air and B-Air are great for edge guarding and are solid kill moves at High %. D-Air is pretty crappy now that the spike isn't instant (although I've seen a few users on smashboards make some comments on how to get easy low % kills off stage w/ this move). His recovery has been improved as well since You can use Fire Bird after you use Falco Phantasm, improving his off stage game. Non-custom Lasers are pretty much useless though since their extremely laggy.
