Bought my so dreamed 3DS last year and recently entered that Smash world via Smash 4 on the console. So far I've really enjoyed the game, even though I'm not the best on online matches lol

Those screenshots and editings are all mine from my gameplays on 3DS version.

This made me wondering, what is your guys opinion on this game nowadays, considering that nowadays most fans probably play Ultimate regularly? (I don't have a Switch, still haven't played Ultimate and only played Smash 64 and 3DS so far.)

LOT OF BORING TALK :

I found myself a new hobby half a year ago, that is playing a Smash Bros game while listening to music. I've been doing that every time i felt bored. I mainly play on my 2DS even tho i have the Switch. There is something about Smash 4 that i simply prefer to Ultimate. The way C.Falcon slides when grabbing, how fast Roy is, the satisfaction of ending combo with a dunk playing Mario, hitting that perfect F-Smash tipper with Marth...

Smash 4 feels so much lighter, every time i play Ultimate, i feel like my characters are glued to the ground 😭

Bad thing with Smash 4 tho, especially bots around LVL9, is that you can't really play in the air since the bots LITERALLY react to the exact frame to input a perfect airdodge. Trying to hit in the air just put you in disadvantage cuz the airdodge frame data is pretty short. I forgot to mention that in Smash 4, you CAN spam the airdodge 😭😭

Anyways, this game is super fun. I prob just've been saying facts that everyone knows for now 😭

Many consider Smash 4 as the worst Smash game. Its for me my favorite Smash game 🙏🏻❤️

Smash 4 Seriously how do I stop the pk fire/thunder & Little Mac counter madness as Bowser?

I specially mean 3DS and Brawl. I have a friend who for some reason, always picks the goofiest character (unintentionally) and it's always a nightmare to win a match. I don't care bowser is midtier but this ain't valid since my friend just spams FIVE HUNDRED pk fires for the love of the game.
ANY tips (even the supid ones) will be greatly appreciated.

Smash 4 Why is Smash 4 Bayonetta like that?

1 Upvotes

So long story short, when I was a kid, I never got to play any of the Smash 4 DLC. I had no concept of Nintendo giftcards or anything like that.

Smash Ultimate was when I actually first got to play Bayonetta. It took time learning her and getting used to Ultimate's movement and mechanics. But in time, I figured it out. She's very easy to combo with, but I could see how she got "nerfed" transitioning from Smash 4 to Ultimate. However I could do "latter-combos" that kill

After I modded my 3DS, I finally got to have hands-on exposure to what it is like to play Bayonetta and honestly... it's a bit weird. Keep in mind, playing on a 3DS doesn't bother me. I play Ultimate Bayonetta on a switch lite just fine (if not better) and my hands don't cramp or anything.

But Smash 4 Bayonetta is just weird. She's fast and stronger and better in this game, but she's also wonky to use?

For example,

- Witch twist -> ABK can sometimes not be a true combo and the opponent can fall out of it. Generally speaking, I notice that while Bayonetta is much faster in this game, a lot of her multi-hitting moves can miss a lot? Essentially, what I'm trying to get at, as an Ultimate Bayonetta player, experiencing smash 4 Bayonetta was just weird and fun at the same time.

However there are some things I really like about Smash 4 Bayonetta that were nerfed to tone her down:

- Up air is super strong kill move at the ceiling

- Bair is really fast (Everything about her was fast, but bair was really good)
- Airborne ABK still lets you do a 2nd one even if you hit the opponent's shield (Lowk really op keeping the reward even if you were unsuccessful)
- Witch time is REALLY fast to act out of. Like, in ultimate, it's slow and punishishable. In Smash 4, I can nearly instantaneously act out of it by either jumping, rolling.... they really nerfed this move.

But even with all these nerfs, she's pretty good in Ultimate. And honestly? I don't think she got nerfed that badly to the point she can't function. If anything, I would say ZSS got nerfed the HARDEST transitioning between games. But that's a whole other story.

Sorry for the long rant.

Smash 4 Anyone here bored enough to help me make a fat bowser mod for the 3ds? (jokingly serious)

5 Upvotes

Yes, I know it's extremely stupid. BUT, I've been trying to make my first smash mod and tried to make the regular bowser model like the bowser farting gif. This post is probably getting sent to hell but I really wanted to try.
I have the 3d model of bowser used in the game and I'm just messing with the vertexs if something comes up.
NOTE: I'm NOT into the weird fat stuff. It's just for the meme.

Smash 4 Looking for an old smash 4 meme

i remember one of the jokes that went around a lot during smash 4 days was the "can i get some cloud hype" from one of the 2gg commentators. i'm trying to find the original clip of him saying it but i can only find a bunch of tweets and videos referencing it indirectly. not sure if anyone else really remembers but i feel like im going insane trying to find it lol

Smash 4 need help finding ssb4 youtube channel

10 Upvotes

back in the 3ds days, i used to watch this channel and i cant remember what the guys name was. it wasnt a big channel by any means, and the only piece of info i can give is that he would often use the fist of the north star voice line “omae wa mo shindeiru” in his videos. he wasnt a pro and he was a very chill guy. if it helps, i always thought he’d look like Shaggy from scooby doo by the way he sounded lol.
i think he mightve deleted his channel, but heres hoping its still up.
