You should also switch out her default specials, since most of them suck (such as Autoreticle).

I personally would recommend using Explosive Flame for the Neutral Special, Angelic Missile for the Side Special, Warp or Rocket Jump as the Up Special, and either Counter or Celestial Firework for the Down Special.

Speaking of customization in smash 4, is it typically better to choose equips for more attack power or more defense?

Also, how do you play Rosalina and Luma?

I haven't even played Smash 4, and I would bet all the monies that at any skill level where the choice matters at all that the answer is attack power. Actual survivability in the Smash series seems to be completely about mobility, recovery potential, and the defensive utility of your moveset, and almost not at all about the raw numbers of how well you eat damage. Back when I played I was a Marth-whore, so my idea of defense was moving around a lot, waving around a big ass metal stick with good priority, and having counter.

You know what can often be worse than even YouTube comments?

Miiverse.

The Miiverse stage keeps getting funnier. When I was testing Ryu out at a Friend's house, stuff like

"GOVERNMENT = VIOLENCE
VIOLENCE = DESTRUCTION"

Kept popping up in the background.

One time, me and Darth were playing on the stage, and this post came up... I can't describe it. Basically, it was a drawing of a dude asking Donatello (yes, from TMNT) to end his life and send him to "pizza heaven", and Don replying "You'll be with Pizza Jesus".

It was just glorious.

Actually it was Raphael. Wrong turtle.

Also, my vote for new Smash character:

Lay it on a faulty memory. It's still hilarious.

There will be more DLC characters.

Who they are is still a mystery.

So, I downloaded the Version 1.0.8 patch for my copy of Smash 3DS... and it promptly stopped working. Every time I try and launch Smash, it freezes.

And this is RIGHT AFTER I got my 3DS back and in working order.

Does anyone else have this problem? Or is there a cruel god that apparently doesn't like me having video games?

So, next month the results of the Smash Fighter Ballot will be revealed. Let the rampant speculation begin.

Did you vote for anyone? Who do think won? Who do want to see?

I voted for Chrom and Shantae, 'cuz those are the two I want most in the game. I'd also like to see Ecco, but I'm not sure how that'd work in Smash...

The ballot ends tomorrow. That means it's time to go and spam the thing while we still have the time.

So my copy of smash 3DS is fucked. Again. Every time I try to play Smash Run, it freezes after 2 or so minutes. Every. Single. TIME.

Why... I mean, just... WHY DOES THIS SHIT HAPPEN TO ME?!

I suppose this is as close as I'll ever get to getting a Dragon Quest character in Smash...

Ooh, Alis (Alus?) would be awesome, too.

Well, given SSB4's handling of Zero Suit Samus it's not too surprising that they'd add a character that's all about sex appeal and ridiculous weaponized high heels.
