Smash 3DS How competitive is 3DS?

[lawlessnoodle]

im just wondering because I want to play smash bros. 3DS competitively but it seems 3DS doesn't have the competitive community melee or Wii U does.

Nope, not anymore, probably because we have to play it with individual systems, and it will cause lag if we play it wireless.
And a lot of players broke their circle because they play too many Smash. That's probably why Smash 3DS can't be put to the competitive level anymore.

Yeah, the competitive community all migrated to the Wii U version. The best thing available for you would be to connect your Ds to the Wii u in a tournament if they allow that.

I don't think you can since it's wireless. Don't most tournaments banned wireless controllers?
And I don't think anyone will want to use the 3DS as a controller on the Wii U right?

Some tournaments allow any controller, except the Wii U Gamepad. Fun fact: one of our top players in Portugal uses his 3ds to play on the Wii U.

Hm... nice fact.
I recently had a chance to try GC controller again, and man, can't get used to it yet...
But 3DS can only be use as controller in normal matches right? You can't use it in other modes like trophy rush and home run contest.

Yes you can only use it in regular, special and 8 player smash. Everything else (including online) is a no-3DS zone.
I'm also trying to get used to the GC Controller for those bigger tournaments where wireless controllers may lag due to the amount of wireless devices present (cellphones, 3DS, etc.). Better be safe than sorry.
