If that's the case, I don't think it has too much of an effect because I did really, really well with Rosalina once and only got one special out of six custom parts.

dude it took me like 4 smash runs just to get two of luigi's custom specials.

So yeah just keep trying, it takes forever, but it could be worth it.

Although some of the custom specials really suck, especially peach's.
That's what I'll be doing because completionist nature.

It definitely won't be enjoyable, but it'll be nice to have them all regardless of how good they are.

I guess i was more disappointed, as peach has been my best since melee and i was expecting some good custom specials, since quite a few characters have some pretty good ones.

Lucky you too, robin has good custom specials, id probably know more about them though if i didnt blow so much with robin. But from what ive seen robin so far has some good specials.

Died my first time beating the Core.

I tried.

Don't feel bad, master core is probably the hardest thing in the game, well fairly anyway, not that DUR HUR BEAT 100 MAN WITH ALL CHARACTERS and crap, but yeah master core ain't easy if you want my opinion.

Solution for all your Master Core problems: Use Zelda and spam fair.

Ya know i thought of that, but man it just sounds so cheap. Plus i got close to peach him with peach with some healing equips.

Might do the whole zelda thing anyway but one day i swear im gonna kick its ass with peach.

I did that one because I raged and used my last golden hammer on the 4 KOs in Cruel Smash one
That one's easy. Just spam counter with ike.

That does not work. You have to resort to Kirby's Inhale, as the CPU is very smart with knowing which frames Counter will be useless on; I tried with Shulk and could only get 3 KOs with the Counter method.

Per this, though bair also works.

The main challenge is just getting to Master Core with Zelda. I can do it on intensity level 9.0 with Rosalina, but I'm not so confident with the other fighters.

D-d-did Lemmy hit adolescence in this picture?

Well the main thing you wanna do with zelda is

[approaches]
-Mid jumping and use forward air
-use side b in place or while mid jumping(be careful however as this can lead you open should they roll towards you)
-regular dash attack(you can also dash and use up smash if they mid jump or just in the air, can work with opponents that roll as well but its a bit tricky)
-Dashing and stopping to use other attacks, such as neutral b to reflect projectiles(dont recommend it while mid jumping)
-Dash rolls
-mid jump dodging


[close range]
-Down smash will be useful for low and high percentages(works against rolling foes and foes that are behind you)
-you can use down normal at higher percentages to possibly get a combo going with side smash or mid jumping forward air
-mid jump neutral air can usually hit on both sides, but doing it can be tricky, forward air and back air also work but its much harder to do correctly.

[Coming down while airborne]
-there is the common way of just using a speed drop while dodging, but there are other ways such as speed dropping to the left or right and using one of the side airs, also her down air can be pretty deadly if hitting with the right spots. If you have faroes wind, its really easy to come down, just make sure you dont let yourself be too open for faster falling foes such as fox and captain falcon.

[edge guarding]
-Using side b is your best bet. As the default version can go in any direction, although if memory serves din's flare only goes horizontal directions, however it has a lot of freaking knock back power, ive even ko'd foes at 90% damage with it WHEN they're close to the edge of the platform(or a stage that has a platform).
-Being a few feet away from the edge while a player is grabbing on a ledge can be useful, this is a good opportunity to use zeldas side smash as it lasts a bit, has great damage, and pretty good launch effectiveness.
-If a character decides to grab the ledge and roll or goes to the air and tries to hit you, zeldas up smash is key, as it lasts a while, does a lot of damage, and can launch foes pretty easily and as you can guess from my previous message, it can hit rolling opponents too, unless they're really small like olimar.

-end-

Those are my stragedies anyway, practice those against a level 9 and see how you do, then challenge classic mode.
