Smash 4 Highlight of the Day



Generally I try to play it safe when it comes to edgeguarding, due to the 3DS being notorious for its controls. Well to be fair, the 3DS controls aren't really bad, but the problem with them is that the circle-pad lacks the notches the GameCube controller had to prevent fuck-ups like accidentally fast-falling to my death. However, for the first time on Smash 4 3DS, I took the risk and man did it pay off!

Also, slightly unrelated, somebody brought the Wii U version to school and it was amazing. I am so excited to own it myself.

Smash 4 Highlight of the Day?

I kicked a lot of ass in Smash 4 today, but I won't be sharing gifs today. Instead, enjoy a couple of screens I thought were great!

If it's two things I love most in this game, it's Zero Suit Samus and the cats.

JonTron watches the fight! Did I just Self-Destruct? "Eccchhhh" Also his hair is brown, I need to fix that (downloaded the Mii)

New Leaf: Days ????? through なにそれ?

Yep, I haven't posted anything about my town in the longest time. Oh well. A ton of things have happened, like for example, my town reached perfect status.


Many villagers also came and went. Among these, sadly, was Cherry, who was absolutely the coolest and greatest villager ever in my town (not to mention she was A: Brand new to the series and B: Part of the Uchi lineup of villagers, the new personality in this game). One day, she just up and left, didn't even leave me her picture. She still lurks around Main Street, but it's just not the same anymore. I'm working on pushing out as many inferior villagers as I can so that I can bring her back through someone else's void. She may not remember me or my village, but at least I'll have her back again :(

Elvis also left, but at least he left me his picture. I am kinda glad he left, honestly; he was cool and all, but sometimes he'd show up to my house to see my "silly face"-- at three in the morning. His picture phrase is also bizarrely morbid/fucked up for a game like this: "Better a live coward than a dead hero."

Aside from this, I made a wonderful design of Samus based off her "Justin Bailey" appearance in Metroid II.



I also have made fortunes off the turnip-trade subreddit, and finally fully upgraded the Nooklings' store. Now I am just on my way toward fully expanding my houses. Which also reminds me, I made a female villager to be the ultimate fashionista in the whole of Animal Crossing-- even more so than Gracie. But of course, life can't go on for my adored character without things being pretty awkward on an average basis...

TFW turtles use pickup lines.
Uhhh.... thanks? To be fair, Lyle is supposed to be sleazy! (Fun fact: apparently they count as "red" furniture)
Also, other random awkwardness:

Excellent phrasing there, Sable.

This literally happened the next day.
There are quite a few things going on, but I want to save them for later (mainly how Anna, my fashion villager, looks great in nearly everything in this game). I think I'll write a new post once I fully upgrade Anna's home, which shouldn't take too long since I already have more than enough money to do that. Until next time, then.

My Smash Highlight Was Featured in a Compilation!



I'm famous!

SMASH 4 HIGHLIGHT OF THE YEAR



I posted this on Reddit just now, and I'm expecting them to tear this whole video a new one. Oh well, whatever, this is staying here in a theoretical golden frame because I completely lost it when I did this.

Two things I'm willing to give, though: 1) This guy's Kirby was a little WTF (what is he hoping to hit with that side-b?) and 2) I'm never entirely proud of a down-b auto-spike from the stage unless if it was super clutch.
