Super Smash Bros. for Wii U & 3DS Discussion

This is why I'm saving my golden hammers until all the challenges are revealed and which challenges that you can't hammer so I can at least save 5 of the most undesirable challenges to be hammered before I use it on something that I could do in time, and there ending up being an even more nearly impossible thing for me.

I really wish that the harder challenges were more tolerable, as there's even one intensity level 9.0 challenge where you have to complete that intensity within 12 minutes with Marth. Sure, Counter may be helpful against Master Core, but you still have to get past the monsters that come before it. And of course, there's the Master Fortress portion of the battle as well.

Anyway, this game really overdid it with the challenge difficulty, as not even Brawl had that many absurd challenges; the only Brawl challenges that were Golden Hammer immune contained rewards that are affiliated with the Subspace Emissary.

Not to mention the fact that most of the rewards behind it are complete and utter shit. You know what's behind the Marth challenge? Equipment. Yup, fucking equipment. I have absolutely zero motivation to do this challenge because:
A) The reward is stupid.
B) The Classic mode in this game is complete trash.
C) I can't play Marth worth a damn.

But I know I will have to.

I already know I'm going to hammer the Classic on 7.0 with all characters and All-Star on hard with everyone when I see them (I hope they're breakable). Some of the challenges aren't breakable too. Like there's one where you complete All-Star on normal without healing, that one's unbreakable. But there's another one where you complete All-Star on normal without healing as Captain Falcon and that one is breakable, but there's no point in breaking it because you may as well do it with Captain Falcon to kill two birds with one stone. Same with Cruel Smash 8 KOs and Cruel Smash 8 KOs with Lucina.

I really feel like if I were in charge of making the challenges, I'd probably do the following...

120 challenges; 6 Golden Hammers; 12 Golden Hammer immune challenges

you still have a disgusting amount of "clear X with all morons" challenges though

"Complete 9.0 Intensity without losing any lives"

"Clear Classic at intensity 9.0 without any customizations."

Too bad these weren't in the 3DS version, I've done the latter with everyone and the former several times already.

They weren't kidding when they said the challenges would be harder, but I find them more annoying. They're basically "do hard thing, then do it again with a certain character."

Okay yeah, that's pretty ridiculous.

Far worse than the "do x with all character" challenges, they should've just stopped at the hard things and not padded it out like that.

It's way more tolerable to complete them on the standard 2.0 intensity level though. Clearing Classic on intensity 7.0 or higher with every fighter is just asking for a death sentence, especially since some fighters are just very lousy with how they fight. Likewise, there's those brutal Cruel Smash challenges as well. Just getting 4 KOs is hard enough in Cruel Smash, so there's literally no reason to be adding insult in injury with the character specific challenges.
