So yeah, I got to stand in line for 2 hours to play 2 minutes... worth it? Heck yeah!
First of all, I forgot my 3DS. So many Streetpasses... *cries*
Anyways, I got to play a bit of Smash Run on 3DS (played as Samus because the player before me chose her) and it was pretty darn neat. The map is absolutely huge and offers so much diversity in the layout and enemies. I was really happy to see that Egg-Robo from Sonic was an enemy there. He used his gun to fire a laser across the screen.
But after that we got to the big screen. I chose Greninja (black alt color with the red tongue-scarf), my sister chose Fox, and two others chose Zelda and Mega Man (every match had a Mega Man haha). We agreed to play on the Punch-Out!! Ring, and of course the rules were Time Match 2:00 with items on.
First of all, Greninja has hops! I mean, I get he's a frog, but jumping with him felt like any other characters with the bunny hood on. He can get up fast. But he's fast on the ground as well. I was more focused on the win than I was on discovering his moveset and how he plays, so I resorted to Smash attacks and areal strikes. Characters can take a lot of damage before really being KOed, but then again the stage is veeeeery long horizontally, and the lighting rig saved those who were Smashed upwards.
So I got tired of that and resorted to a different tactic, using Greninja's hops to get up to the lighting rig and send it crashing down, KOing all three characters. I got a few more KOs by the time the timer ended, and I got the victory! My first of (hopefully) many more. The rep said that Greninja was a popular choice, and I can see why. He's quick, mobile, and can hit pretty hard.
All in all, I had some fun. Can't wait for October. :D
