    and another very hard challenge done :) had probably my best run yet: ended up getting to ness with all 5 stocks. though i did lose 2 to them... when i usually don't lose even 1 to them. but eh, it barely mattered. the only other stock i lost was to bowser, and i didn't get giga bowser since i stalled on f-zero a bit.

    I never managed to get past the Pokemon team without losing at least one stock. Thankfully, rest of it was mostly manageable and I could thankfully cheese Bowser with downtilts as Roy.

    Of all the super hard single player achievements in this set, I feel like this one is the easiest, just because you have some stock to work with. Still no slouch though. I used Roy for my run. He has range with Smash attacks and neutral special and his up special does decently well against the team fights in this run. I found myself resetting if I ever lost a stock before the Kirby team. Mario/Luigi and Peach can give some trouble, but the rest of the early game isn't too bad. I am convinced Pokemon is easily the hardest battle though. Pikachu just has so much range and attack variety and it's hard to get past all 3 of them without getting some form of damage, but if you have a good Up+B opening, use it., or whatever your character's team-killer is. Ness Battle is a little annoying, but if you find a good vantage point, F-Smash and/or Neutral Special does the job pretty well when they do wander over to you.

    For Bowser....STALL IN ALL PLATFORMING STAGES! I'm sure Giga Bowz can be cheesed, but the less fights you have to do, the better. Taking an extra 3 or 4 minutes in Mushroom Kingdom, Hyrule Underground and Mute City is not a bad call at all. 18 minutes is the cut-off for Giga Bowser, so once you get 18, you will just have the Bowser fight. It's still tough, but he has a very predictable pattern where he spams Neutral B until you get close. Wait for him to start using it, jump in with an air attack and then try to juggle with tilts until he gets high damage, then Smash him out of there. If you have more than one stock and you lose one, you have some time to jump in with invincibility frames. Depending on Bowser's recovery, you can also just keep smashing him from the ledge before he gets back on, or move a little to the left/right from the edge so he grabs the edge, pulls himself up, and you have a few frames to Smash him there too.

    Shame the Team in Classic doesn't fall to Dr. Mario Up+B like they do here... Might have got that one taken care of otherwise. Instead I'm stuck with the Marth strategy there.

    holy hell that was some of the sweatiest gaming of my life, melee is a dummy hard game. It took me 3 days of trying to get this one, not looking forwards to the other ones. Dr. Mario was the way to go, he trivializes the team fights. i had one stock left after the Onette section got though the ice climbers and the polygons easily enough, got super luck on metal Mario man tried to dunk me off stage and killed himself. both bowsers are super easy just pill and forward air and Bam.

    my first of the hard achievements ive attempted and ready to just never do achievements again ever on any game. what exactly am i supposed to do when peach mario just juggle you to 100% in 5 seconds. any character i try feels exact same.
    KyoTheCat 17 Sep 2024 10:06
    So much hate for the triple ness i always loss 2-3 Stocks on them only made it once to bowser so far
    Washington1776 17 Sep 2024 11:05
    @kyoTheCat best advice i can give for ness is what i did for most of the others. use roy and just time f smashes at key points on the stage. bowser just down tilt him to 200%+ then f smash him to death. This achievement is very aggravating when it comes to peach mario section, pikachu team battle and ness team battle.
    KyoTheCat 17 Sep 2024 14:49
    Thanks for the advice. I tried with dr mario for around two weeks now maybe i really should try the roy meta :b
    Washington1776 17 Sep 2024 15:15
    roy really is the boy, i tried dr mario myself but not good with him. some people have done it with him though. down smash spam and up b for team battles its definitely doable with him as well.
    Olafur 17 Sep 2024 18:06
    yeah, I used Roy and he really is our boy. It will still take a number of tries to get this done. But for All-Star, I'd recommend using Marth instead
    KyoTheCat 17 Sep 2024 20:53
    Yeah tried a few runs with roy now. He is a bit worse in team battles but his range makes up for it.
    Washington1776 17 Sep 2024 23:56
    @kyoTheCat up b should be amazing for team battles, are you using it?
    KyoTheCat 18 Sep 2024 03:58
    Yes but it kills often only after using it 2-3 times on team pikachu and then i get pummeld. sometimes the up b one shots but i am not sure why maybe it is the angle? team kirby and team wire are no problem made it so far once to metal mario and lost :/
    ShadwSonic 18 Sep 2024 04:04
    There's a system in Smash that weakens moves if they're used frequently. Sounds like the fresh strength is enough for OHKO, but after a few uses it isn't. Try some quick yet otherwise useless attacks to refresh the good moves.
    KyoTheCat 18 Sep 2024 06:04
    ROY IS THE BOY!!! @ShadwSonic your tip helped the went from 2-3 shots to 1-2 shots but still think the angle matters a bit
    Washington1776 18 Sep 2024 11:46
    you got it, nicee
    ShadwSonic 20 Sep 2024 11:09
    Roy has been MUCH better than Marth in Classic or Dr Mario in Adventure! On my first attempt, I almost got past Mario without losing a Stock! And only lost another to Giant DK due to cheese!
    Unfortunately, despite trying to waste time, I did Kirby Team in under 30 seconds... which meant I had to fight Giant Kirby. Which Roy is not equipped to handle. Definitely sticking with him for both of those!
    KyoTheCat 20 Sep 2024 12:43
    Fun thing about giant DK is If you just duck not even move he will selfdestruck into the river only works on very hard sadly

    Trying to do this with Link and two stocks. Almost every section of Adventure mode is grueling difficult. But Linkโ€™s also one of the only characters Iโ€™m familiar with.

    Iโ€™ve gotten close. Usually around the Kirby mob fight and Pokรฉmon are the farthest Iโ€™ve gone.

    Difficult. But definitely not impossible.
