You should also switch out her default specials, since most of them suck (such as Autoreticle).
I personally would recommend using Explosive Flame for the Neutral Special, Angelic Missile for the Side Special, Warp or Rocket Jump as the Up Special, and either Counter or Celestial Firework for the Down Special.

Speaking of customization in smash 4, is it typically better to choose equips for more attack power or more defense?
Also, how do you play Rosalina and Luma?

I haven't even played Smash 4, and I would bet all the monies that at any skill level where the choice matters at all that the answer is attack power. Actual survivability in the Smash series seems to be completely about mobility, recovery potential, and the defensive utility of your moveset, and almost not at all about the raw numbers of how well you eat damage. Back when I played I was a Marth-whore, so my idea of defense was moving around a lot, waving around a big ass metal stick with good priority, and having counter.

Sakurai's fuzzy logic on why Lucina, who is almost exactly the same as Marth, got a spot on the roster, while Chrom, who he considered too "similar" to Ike, didn't.

The Miiverse stage keeps getting funnier. When I was testing Ryu out at a Friend's house, stuff like
"GOVERNMENT = VIOLENCE
VIOLENCE = DESTRUCTION"
Kept popping up in the background.
He jumps like a damned dragoon, and charges into battle fighting rather insane monsters with little more than his bare hands and rather nasty spell effects conjured up solely through knowledge and the local plantlife. He unerringly knows where his goal lies, he breathes underwater and is untroubled by space travel, seems to have no limits to his actual endurance and favors killing his enemies by driving both boots square into their skull. His agility is unmatched, and his strength legendary, able to fling about a turtle shell big enough to contain a man with enough force to barrel down a near endless path of unfortunates.
--The horror of Mario
Zak S, Zak Smith, Dndwithpornstars, Zak Sabbath. He is a terrible person and a hack at writing and art. His cultural contributions are less than Justin Bieber's, and he's a shitmuffin. Go go gadget Googlebomb!

One time, me and Darth were playing on the stage, and this post came up... I can't describe it. Basically, it was a drawing of a dude asking Donatello (yes, from TMNT) to end his life and send him to "pizza heaven", and Don replying "You'll be with Pizza Jesus".
It was just glorious.

There will be more DLC characters.
Who they are is still a mystery.

So, I downloaded the Version 1.0.8 patch for my copy of Smash 3DS... and it promptly stopped working. Every time I try and launch Smash, it freezes.
And this is RIGHT AFTER I got my 3DS back and in working order.
Does anyone else have this problem? Or is there a cruel god that apparently doesn't like me having video games?

So, next month the results of the Smash Fighter Ballot will be revealed. Let the rampant speculation begin.
Did you vote for anyone? Who do think won? Who do want to see?
I voted for Chrom and Shantae, 'cuz those are the two I want most in the game. I'd also like to see Ecco, but I'm not sure how that'd work in Smash...

The ballot ends tomorrow. That means it's time to go and spam the thing while we still have the time.

So my copy of smash 3DS is fucked. Again. Every time I try to play Smash Run, it freezes after 2 or so minutes. Every. Single. TIME.
Why... I mean, just... WHY DOES THIS SHIT HAPPEN TO ME?!

Well, given SSB4's handling of Zero Suit Samus it's not too surprising that they'd add a character that's all about sex appeal and ridiculous weaponized high heels.
