I used to have trouble wit Master Edges due to that ridiculous combo attack, but I mastered it (no pun intended) when I learned to jump off the right ledge as soon as the slicing begins and recover when the attack is finishing up.

 

[Icemario]

master swords is relatively easy for me

master beast is what gets me

that god danged bite attack

lol master beast was too easy for me

which is strange because a lot of people say master beast is the hardest

It's just the jumping attack that gets me.

Generally Master Core as a whole is pretty easy to me, to be honest. Or maybe that's just because I've done it with everyone now, I dunno.

 

[Baby Mario Bloops]

I know what you mean.

Metal Mario never flinched and it took forever to get his meter up to where I could KO him.

what all you had to do was throw him off the stage even at early damage

he was probably the easiest fight out of all the fights in classic

Lol, sometimes I just feel like you have to say the opposite of what everyone else is feeling. :P

Though I do agree with you that master beast is probably the easiest one for me. The only thing I have to worry about with him is when he suddenly jumps into the background and launches back (which I think is the bite attack Nysice said), because sometimes I can't dodge fast enough, but other than that he's pretty easy.

And the swords can be a pain in the butt, though once you get the dodges timed, it's not that bad. I just hate when he makes those spears.

You mean that attack where he slices across the screen and performs a powerful chop to finish the move?

if that was the case id say the final form of master core is the hardest

anyway metals just require you to throw them off since they fall so fast they cant really recover well enough to get back on stage

i thought that was pretty obvious lol

Please, the bite attack is easy to deal with. Just keeping thinking about it and always be ready to avoid one out of nowhere unless you just dodged one. No long attacks otherwise.

If anything, it's that jumping that always got me. If you're above or below that thing at the wrong time, it can seriously wreck you so hard.

Sadly, if you're recklessly attacking Master Beast, you are going to get mauled by its bite attack, especially on intensity 9.0. Of course, you'll know when the bite attack is coming when Master Beast is approaching you, but it may also use its lightning attack instead.

Anyway, the biggest problem with Master Beast is just trying to damage it and then retreating to avoid its attacks.

 

[Meta Knight]

I think the fortress is the hardest

 

[NSY]

I have no trouble with the beast at all, I find the easiest out of all the phases (including the hands), I find it really easy to predict when he's going to strike.

Master edges on the other hand...

 

[fantanoice]

Master Swords is definitely the killer for me. I can usually get through the other two without dropping a stock but those blades man...

Worst is when the five of them are on the edges of the screen and then swoop down at you one after the other.

Each of the second form's (can't remember name, the one that bites) attacks can be countered by Ike (and probably others) which is really funny. Definitely the easiest to deal with imo.

Yeah, Master Beast is a walk in the park if you have a countering move.

But that jumping attack, it's pretty much the only reason I'd lose against Master Core.

Honestly it's the spears that get me with Master Swords. I have no problem timing the five swoops, just as long as I get that last one dodged, even if it means using a lot of shield.

I haven't tried the Master Fortress yet. How is it?

 

[Cirdec]

Master Fortress is the hardest for me, those lava spots have ridiculous power and knockback.

 

[Nysic]

A good strategy for Master Fortess is just take your time and kill the enemies, especially the Lethiniums. Then it's much easier to not get slammed into danger zones and die instantly.

 

[MnSG]

I haven't tried the Master Fortress yet. How is it?

I've only went up against Master Fortress on intensity 8.0, but from what I know, it's easier to handle for the mobile fighters. You need to watch out for the Lethiniums, as their laser attacks can really build up your damage, and that's bad, as Master Fortress has acid walls and acid water that'll instantly KO you if your damage goes over 100%. Likewise, the Geemers and Plasma Wisps can be problematic as well if they're in your way.

There's also the Stalfos' that you should watch out for. You can wait for them to do an attack before passing them to avoid any possible injury.

Once you start attacking the weak points, you may have to revert back to taking out enemies to avoid seeing your damage increase even more.

Healing equipment can come in handy, as you can use them to heal yourself a bit. Remember, the only real danger that Master Fortress possesses is its acidic walls and water.

 

[Glitchy Bowser Jr.]

Master Blades are a pain. I always end up losing a stock to them.

 

[LeftyGreenMario]

The fast sword swipe is really hard to dodge and man, it's powerful for a fast attack.

Hate those mofos.

 

[Daniel Dyce]

I love playing as old man Ganondorf
Way better then Young Man Space Ganondorf

 

[Baby Mario Bloops]

So got to 8.0 with Rosie and was on Master Fortress (honestly it's probably the easiest form to me). Everything going great and defeated the third weak spot, and then a new path was opened, and I was confused on which way to go. Before I could react, I went to the right and fell down and then I realized "oh crap, this is not the right way" and tried to launch back up but it was too late and self-destructed.

Just...I was already stressed out re-doing it like 5 times to finally get to him, and I just died because of a self-destruction....I had to switch modes...

Honestly, a lot of the modes stress me out. I mean, I love the challenge, but ugh....it also might have been the fact I went to the events and was attempting to get the special prizes.

 

[ToxBox]

I used Charizard to beat Master Fortress for first time

 

[fantanoice]

Don't worry BMB I did that the first time I got the third one as well. :<

 

[Ray Trace]

so i cleared kirby's crazy appetite on my first try

to be fair, i already know the strategies beforehand...

 

[Anser]

Ok, I totally suck at this game. I can't even beat Master Hand and Crazy Hand at 5.0 difficulty. It's impossible for me. They've beaten me four times now. The worst part is that I used to think that I was a decent player (not good but not bad) but this marks my ability as something you would call below average. I thought I was good at using Palutena

Play online, that's it

I'm usually in the middle too. Better than For Fun, but not as good as For Glory
