It is. Unless my copy is some secret Japanese VG God copy, then Nintendo is making games ridiculous. Not "Hard" or "Skilled". Fucking ridiculous. I can't beat Jigglypuff. For some stupid ice cream reason, it manages to launch me at 50% damage. Even worse is Tabuu. That butterfly attack was stupid ice cream, it was near-impossible to dodge.
I like the game, but it's too god damned frustrating.
