Now make customs far less of a chore to unlock so as to guarantee their use in Tournaments and an excuse for myself to use Ganondorf outside of casuals. :T

Adding to what I've said about Ganondorf, I'm happy to say Customs are well within EVO's spectrum. As an aside, it also brings up a peculiar issue regarding the licensing of music -- and subsequent banishment of additional stage choices. Weird, considering Nintendo owns the thing.

In other news, a new update just hit the 3DS which looks to be the precursor for a Wii U follow-up:

While it’s been some time since the handheld version of Nintendo’s latest Smash title was in the news, the developers recently rolled out a brand new patch for the game that adds a variety of functionality and even addresses some gameplay issues for good measure.

After being updated to ver.1.0.5, Super Smash Bros. for 3DS gains a number of new features, including a share mode that allows players to upload screenshots, replays, and Mii Fighter data to the game’s official server. These items will be fully searchable and available for download across the globe, though they will be removed after 30 days.

Much like previous updates, Nintendo’s official patch notes also vaguely reference changes to the core gameplay, leaving it up to the community to figure out what has been adjusted.

So far, folks over on Reddit have found that the patch corrects a number of mechanics that could be considered bugs, including Greninja’s running Shadow Sneak, Kirby’s ability to hover when using his Dark Pit copy move, the hitstun-canceling technique discovered for Lucario’s Extreme Speed, and more.

The full list of the changes found by the community so far can be found here.

At this point, Super Smash Bros. for Wii U appears to the competitive standard moving forward, but changes implemented in its 3DS sibling may offer a look at what maybe in store for the console version.

The trunks were there in full glorious display, but the lack of backslashing is heinous.

HEINOUS. D:<

Good show to this man right here. He had me and a good chunk of the internet fooled yesterday about Rayman and I'm VERY impressed that he managed to make, not only a convincing render, but also fake video footage!

[DeviantProtagonist]

Impeccable attention to detail, no doubt in regards to that fake leak.

But holy hell, the higher-ups behind EVO are actually going about with Customs. Looking forward how this all pans out for sure.

[ChocoCats]

Yep. So much yep.

[DeviantProtagonist]

In case you were being sarcastic, I don't see why they wouldn't ban PikAmp, let alone have Nintendo patch it like they did the G&W+Pikachu exploit on both counts.

The Meta Knight video, while seriously impressive in itself, was also done without Customs. As it is, the less Diddy the better. :3

You ain't no airfighter Mac!

Or... are you?

Been putting work into getting custom moves lately. Have 13 characters left to deal with.

Been putting work into getting custom moves lately. Have 13 characters left to deal with.

Is there any method of manipulating the RNG in your favor, or is it just completely random? Like is any mode more probable of getting custom moves than another?

[DeviantProtagonist]

The Custom Farm says sup. :3

[Saturos]

The method I've been going with has been:

1. Go do a regular VS mode. Make things quick with 1 stock setting.
2. Use the character that you want customs for and play against any cpu. I recommend winning.
3. Go to Target Blast, stage 1, mainly because it's the easiest stage, and pick, again, the character you want customs for.
4. The tedious part is keep resetting the map until the green customs target is spawned.
5. Play Target Smash as normal, aiming for the custom part, and you'll get your reward.

Rinse and repeat steps 4-5

Supposedly, after reading up reddit, the first game of Target Smash that you finish has the highest possibility of rewarding you with a custom part (but not guaranteed to be ones that you want). Again, it's still all RNG from there. However you are currently swaying the RNG to give you parts towards the character that you are using.
I do this method because I can keep track of the customs that I get. Plus, I don't have a turbo controller 

If that sounds somewhat tedious you can try the other method that Deviant posted.

...aaaaaaaaand I just unlocked all of them.
But, then I went into For Glory only to get whooped and taunted by a competent Little Mac and DK, and then on to a run-around Toon Link.
