Dead Horse Interchange

Having played around with Smash 3DS, I can say that the whole "use different klessik fighting game face button attacks depending on how hard you press the button"-gimmick is a bit annoying. What is this, Street Fighter 1?
Unlocking new moves once your damage is high enough sounds dope, though.

It's only really useful for fireballs. For other specials you'd only very situationally want to use the weakest version. Unless you whiff, of course.
What I do like about using the proper input for the strongest version is that it allows them to make those really powerful without fucking up the balance. The proper input Burn Knuckle hits real hard.
Also I can Buster Wolf fuckers in Smash. How awesome is that? It's everything I've ever wanted and more.

You can also swallow Terry as Kirby and have the pink glutton shout "Power Wave!" in his adorable voice.

It's a shame that Kirby otherwise is pretty bad in Ultimate. In some cases he can use the copied powers better than the actual character. Pretty awesome as well is that he can get Shulk's Monado arts that way.

The real question is does he ask if I'm okay?

He never does, but you're not allowed to complain because he's non-binary.

Yes! Yes, he does. Are you okay? BUSTER WOLF!

Sadly no "Get serious!" as a taunt.

Funny thing is, Ken has a "Get serious!" taunt.

Minor complaint about inputs; I wish they were only mapped to the special button, not the normal button. I've had a few situations where I've wanted my up tilt or up smash, but nope, I was crouching a second ago, so I get Rising Tackle.

Fair enough complaint. It is more plausible with the SF shotos where I exclusively use the A button because an unintentional hurricane kick is an easy SD.
For the non-Smashfags, it's much, much easier to get crossed up in Smash. Wanted a Shoryuken but some faggot just jumped over you? You get a Tatsu instead because Ryu turned around in the meantime so instead of shooting a fire ball to the right your dude is travelling to the left, likely off the stage. So that side B could kill you or at least cause you trouble. With the proper QCF+A command you have much more time to react and just not press A.

A question, though, Dingus. Why did you crouch? It does next to nothing in Smash and you really should have Tilts set to the C-Stick instead of Smash Attacks.

By the way, I completely forgot that each DLC character comes with a set of ghost cards you can collect and fight for. I'm having a blast wrecking shit with Terry right now. I just got all the SNK cards and am now getting the Dragon Quest and Banjo ones.
And Terry is strong as fuck! Not even of the usual "DLC character is OP so people buy him" kinda variety but just legit great for Smash by design.
Power Wave, Burn Knuckle, Crack Shoot, Power Dunk, Rising Tackle. Think of the angles those cover in progression. Ground, slightly elevated, short hop, jump in, above. Just like in KoF, all possible angles are covered by the specials alone, never mind you moving. Un-fucking-limited supers as well? Two of them? Fuck yes, please! Power Gaiser covers absolutely every jump in and many platforms, Buster Wolf is a straight forward face wrecker that can't be parried because it goes through those!
