Can YOU get a better fairy bottle flip? Doubtful. Also yes I KNOW the Simon jab fact was in his reveal video or whatever. I just saw that a ton of folk didn't know this, despite that fact (prolly cuz no one uses this mechanic cuz it's bad). So I just decided to throw it in quickly

[@SapphireCarbuncle009]

The reason Metal Face isn't killable via Metal Slash is because that's not actually his original name. In Japanese he was referred to by a phrase that roughly translated to "Black Face". I think you can put together why they changed it in the localization.

[@aionicthunder]

Yeah, I imagine they’ll change certain location names to match both Metal Face and Face Nemesis’ localised names, instead of their Japanese names

[@62049]

[@elijahpadilla5083]

3 Hero facts: 1. You can not get Kamikaze in Classic Mode at all 2. Critical Hits do not occur in Boss Battles (At least during classic anyways, haven't tried in WoL) 3. With FS Meter on, Hocus Pocus has a chance of filling your FS Meter entirely

[@Blueybeak]

Dan Demolition14 wow, 3. Is OP

[@meta04]

You _can_ get Kamikazee in Spirit Board however. (And I have misinput that.)

[@lordnul1708]

1 is wrong, I've operated under that assumption and wound up casting it during Classic mode twice. The second instant was after Banjo's update as well, so it's not a bug.

[@dandemolition1412]

@@lordnul1708 Really? I've played through Hero's Classic many times and not once have I gotten a Kamikaze In fact after reading this I grinded his Down Special for 5 minutes in round 2 and yet again no Kamikaze Maybe you got it form Hocus Pocus?

[@lordnul1708]

@@dandemolition1412 no, it definitely said Kamikaze in the command menu. My guess is either a) you were just having very good (or bad?) luck or b) there was a recent stealth patch that I was not aware of. If it's the latter, then it probably would need to be Hocus Pocus from here on out.

[@lordnul1708]

@@yourunclejohn984 1) how is having the second highest end lag in the game not a weakness? 2) "never shows up"? What are you talking about? Metal Slash shows up WAY more often than Kaclang. And no, that's not my luck, that's in general. Look up any uncut game footage, you will see Metal Slash listed more often than Kaclang in general.

[@yourunclejohn984]

LordNul1 1. Its doesn’t have the 2nd highest end lag, it’s hardly got a second 2. Just because metal slash show support more often than Kafka good doesn’t mean it shows up often in general, because stats show it doesn’t. And the likely hood doesn’t increase like with zoom when you’re off stage, it stays the same and that means the chances of you getting it at the right time are super low considering you also have to take into account the animation times of the other things you’ll be doing to speed through

[@reducedaltoid]

In Sudden Death, Banjo only gets to use one Wonder Wing

[@meta04]

Confirmed. If you just set everyone's handicap to 300% in a normal match, they get five, but if you go to Special Smash / Super Sudden Death, they get one. Also, if you have less than 150 starting HP (incl. handicaps), then you don't get your full five feathers either. 10 gets 1, 30 or 50 gets 2, 80 gets 3, and 100 gets 4.

[@jgilly0]

Spinning the Belmont's whip is basically sheik's chain from melee except, it has poor range, upwards knockback, can't cheese/gimp unless you fight against a sleeping person or a person with no fingers, and kills MegaMan at center of pokemon stadium at 730%. Edit: I forgot to mention that the whip only blocks weak projectiles i.e. Mario/Luigi's fireball, but cannot stop any stronger projectiles.

[@adamxue6096]

The reason snooze doesn’t effect people who were hit into it is because they are in that falling animation thing (I don’t know what it’s called). For some reason Snooze doesn’t override the falling animation, most likely because that’s just how the priorities work in the game.

[@EyeDonutz]

here is one that is interesting that i discovered myself ages ago, which i dont think many people know of: with the whip dangle simon can do, if you happen to fall off a platform (ie the bridge on palutenas temple breaking under you), he will actually still do the whip dangle in midair. it even has a slight animation difference, as his feet dangle a little like most airborne animations.
