Talking points

• I have a question for the next Smash Bros Cast. So, you know how Bowser Jr. can be any of the Koopalings? They aren’t “Echos,” just cosmetic variations with the exact same moves. How likely do you think Isabelle’s alternative colors could be other Animal Crossing characters? Or do you think they would have mentioned it in the reveal if it was possible?
• Question for @Nightcrawlr724 You have mentioned your kids (or kid) a couple of times in the podcast… How do you manage to smash and play other games while raising your kids? Is there a particular age where you had trouble keeping up? Question coming from a New dad here :).
• Hey, gang, I’ve been wondering something. The stage morph option looks super fun and I’m looking forward to using it when I’m playing with my brothers and whatnot but I couldn’t really wrap my mind around this one part lol. If you select two random stages for stage morph, does that mean you’ll bounce between Smashville and Luigi’s Mansion is those are your two selected stages? Or does that mean you’ll be on a random stage every single time?  Random stages on a random timer would be SOOOO wild

Smash Tips:

• Start of game/Neutral

-Jab

-Walk

-Shield on approach, be wary of powershield timing.

-Look for the shield, grab.

-Projectile to force a shield or jump.

-Focus on frame data.

Advantage

-Wait patiently with a lead, no matter how small.

-Hold shield and react to their options from ledge.

-Stand still and react to their tech get-ups. (Look for  roll in on better opponents.)

-Trap the landing/frame trap.

-Take the guaranteed damage and move back to a safe position.

-Abuse shield and react to run up grabs with spot dodge.

-Pressure them into the corner/don’t run away when pressuring.

-Save kill moves until the percent threshold you know they will kill in or in the situations, they are most effective.
