They shouldn't have put him in. Every time I play against someone who chooses him, they go for the smash ball all the time. Guess what happens next? Gawd I hate him...
I'm slightly more beastly whenever I pick Lucario or Toon Link. But I swear to gawd, my friend constantly uses ROB, and it is so annoying because he can fly! Gah! I can never hit ROB with Lucario's final smash! He flies RIGHT above my range!
As do most other players who play characters other than Sonic.
I don't play with the smash ball. I think it's cheap. Especially w/ Sonic. I end up wanting to throw the remote at the screen whenever I fight a player using Sonic. I can beat any computer on lv. 9 easy, but I end up having to bust my a** just to knock a player Sonic down a few lives. And why? Because they always get the smash ball.
