Sage of Tales
Why, hello there, Zelda Dungeon. Sorry to disappoint you all, but I am still alive. *Evil grin.* I decided to return because I thought some of you might enjoy the sharing of some of the interesting self-imposed challenges and rules I've come up with of late for a certain already insane Nintendo game.
Unexpectedly got a Wii-U for Christmas, and even more unexpectedly, I got Smash Bros. as a gift and didn't have to buy it myself. It's kind of a gift for the household, actually... though the relation that got me the Smash Bros. got me a Link Amiibo. On screen, he's in the Fierce Deity outfit and I nicknamed him "Toki." (People who've read a certain weird fanfic of mine will know why).
Anyway, my people and I were Smashing yesterday, and we have all kinds of weird little "themes" we do to make our games interesting. My guy, his nephew and I do 3 players against a CPU and we do stuff like "All Swordmen!" "All people from hi-tech universes!" "All dark-characters!" "EVERYONE IS PINK!"
Well, in fiddling around with the 8-player Smash and finding out that, yes, I can play it one-player, I came up with a couple of "themes" for 8-player Smash. Maybe you've come up with the same thing? Maybe these ideas are new to you and can give you some fun?
So far, I only have two, I'm sure I'll come up with more:
The Seven-Nation Army: This is a challenge for one-player. You pick a character. Then you pick out CPUs one by one, each of the seven other characters representing a different "nation" - that is, a different game/game franchise. This is possible. And fun.
The Hunger Games: This can be played one-player or with other humans. You make "sets" of characters, one male "tribute" and one female "tribute" from different "Districts" (games/game franchises). Sadly, with only 8 players you only wind up with four districts and the limited array of female characters in Smash is also limiting, but it is possible. (Especially if you can chose a character's gender or can assume genders as with the Pokemon).
So, here are some stupid ways to have fun in Smash I've discovered.
