General tips on how to punish and deal with Smash 4 Diddy Kong. -- Watch live at http://www.twitch.tv/nakat973

Watching this, I realized that it's not so much that Diddy is super good, but rather that he's a wakeup call.

Been too focused on Smash Wii U, I guess (that, and I discovered Nichijou, so that ate up some time).

As for my character changes in Wii U, I use Villager a lot more in this version, as well as thinking about picking up G&W, Dr. Mario, and Dark Pit, but I'm unsure on that. Mii Brawler is also a lot of fun for me.

the music though omigosh it's practically the jesus of video game soundtracks

For now, here's something fun for once the game can be music modded. I decided to take the Gulty Gear Xrd soundtrack and see which song can go on which stage.

I just noticed that I haven't posted here since the game came out. Whoops.

ANYWAY, the game is just... SO much fun. Was hoping I'd be good with Duck Hunt and Pac-Man, and I am, the music's phenomenal, Smash Run and the single-player are actually pretty enjoyable.

All I really have left to do is beat all of the challenges and collect all of the headgear and custom specials for the Ultimate Challenge (Since I already have all of the costumes).

Luckily (or maybe unluckily, for some), that will take quite a bit of time for the specials, but I'm getting there. Over 250 and Charizard, Jigglypuff, and Kirby are finished up.

At one point or another, you're gonna find yourself frustrated with projectiles, whether you're on the receiving or giving end of it. Here's some info I've gathered from testing these characters out in Training Mode.

I’ve had the game since the midnight release and it’s time for my thoughts so far,

The big picture is that this game is great. It’s very different from previous games so let that be a warning. For most characters, you want to be on the ground walking. You will want to run to close in, but it should not be used for footsies, IMO.

Online is hit and miss. A huge oversight on the developer’s part is that you have no way of knowing the connection strength before playing. This is especially frustrating in For Glory where a loss could be because of lag. This is still a huge improvement over Brawl’s though. Be forewarned that the variable lag can impact the viability of characters online.

Now for the characters that I’ve played with.

Got my copy!

For those getting the game I wish you the best of fun. I know I'll be busy for a while!

~His Knightliness Himself~,

Johnknight1 has shown up to save you from your Smash boredom by sharing his Smash boredom, hypedom, and other doms that haven't yet been discovered.

In case you can't  tell by reading, my name is John, although on the webs I generally go by "Johnknight1". I got that name by beating "the best kid in town" at Melee with his main (Link). My name being John, he knighted me the best Link. When I first started using "Johnknight" I added the 1 because I was #1 in my town.

In future blog posts I will proclaim why I am not just #1 in my town, but give you all the latest on my quest to become the #1 smasher at... something. Or nothing. It remains to be unseen.

But really, I'll be covering lots of Smash 3DS, Smash WiiU, Project M, Melee, and occasionally random other games that relate to Smash and heck, even Smash 64.

Oh, and in case you didn't know, I'm the biggest Toon Link fan ever. I've mained him in Smash since 2003 when I first played "the Wind Waker". Expect a lot of him. And more of him.

Oh and other characters that I plan to play, with those characters being Lucina, Ness, Fox, Mii Gunner, Dr. Medical Degree-wielding Mario, Bowser Jr. ROY Koopa, Pit/tinted Pit, Wii Unfit Trainer, and the new Blue Guy who isn't the old blue guy because he has a gun. And other characters I may pick up and enjoy along the way.

Lastly, be warned: if you think you're safe from the New World Order references, be warned: Scott Hall's body hair will consume you. Because here on Simply SMASHING Blog, we have something of a NWO problem, so you better WATCH OUT! You better not cry! You better not pout I'm telling you why! The NWO is going to wreck your town!!!

Thanks for reading the threats warnings promises of destruction and total chaos that will result in imminent bloodshed ladies and gentlemen!!!!

P.S.: All hail the Virtual Version of the Virtual Boy

Checking some of the requirements to unlock characters, I came up with this to unlock all but Jigglypuff and Wario rather quickly.

1. Wii Fit Trainer > Unlock Falco 2. Falco > Unlock Ness 3. Bowser on 7.0 > Unlock Bowser Jr. 4. Mario on 7.0 > Unlock Dr. Mario 5. Palutena on 7.0 > Unlock Dark Pit 6. Marth on 2.0 or higher > Unlock Lucina 7. Link on 7.0 > Unlock Ganondorf 8. Ness 9. Any previously used character > Unlock Duck Hunt 10. Duck Hunt > Unlock Mr. Game and Watch 11. Lucina 12. Bowser Jr. 13. Mr. Game and Watch > Unlock ROB

Wii Fit Trainer can be any character other than those listed later on.

Jigglypuff requires you to clear Classic 25 times. I have not read anything saying that it must be 25 different characters, but assume it does.Wario is said to be unlockable after clearing 100-Man Melee. Use DK's Down B to grind through that.

Meaning I'm going to be doing terribly at it and I'll barely get any sleep at all.

Think I'm ready for Smash 3DS, guys? Midnight release, baybee! HYPE HYPE HYPE
