I wonder when/if Nintendo will ever decide to shut it down. Adding new characters is a big deal.
The hype never dies.
I was figured out.
They added Mewtwo and Roy in the game. However, the 4 characters rumored to be added in is a big deal though as you said. Lyn, Knuckles, Saki/Sami (been hearing both and only know the former from Capcom) and Ridley (supposedly he's in but they still have to finish a lot with him). PM 4.0 update is gonna be big and hope nothing happens because the sole fact that they have a donation button on their website spells their doom.
Edit:
My cousin lied, I see no donation button.
I do recall the PM team saying something about never adding newcomers that would debut in Smash 4.
But yeah, it's still tip-toeing around things (not that this method makes everything legal)
At least they're doing a better job of it then Nintendo ever did with the series. It should speak volumes on how Nintendo should handle their games, whether its with the casual or hardcore audience, people prefer speed over floaty-ness and I still think Sakurai is a nut for believing that Melee was too fast for players. Everyone (seriously all my friends and co-workers) I've played with loves Melee over Brawl and loves PM over Brawl. I try to get hype for Smash 4 but I just can't handle how damn float the slow some of the characters can be. I'll patiently wait until I extensively play Smash 4 but it looks like I'll stick to Melee in the long run to get that fix from Nintendo.
Its not really a tip but more of an observation you'll realize as you play the game is that the neutral/zoning game is a different beast in smash games, its takes a lot more things into account. Street Fighter is as linear and bare bones as it gets in terms of the neutral and zoning game. Melee on the otherhand just takes that and expands on it a bit more with multiple directions and attacks. Watch vgbootcamps on youtube for uploads on tournament matches, grim does a excellent job providing quality and quantity for the channel.
when it's <$2.50
I'm sure they didn't want to overlap with Smash 4 entrants but I seem to remember them saying that the big "consideration" was that they weren't going to include any character that wasn't referenced within Brawl materials, so everything post-Brawl character wise was a big nope.

I think the biggest problem is that they might do a better job with some characters than Sakurai. I saw PM Mewtwo, and I got so hype until I realized he probably won't be half as great in Smash 4.
The same logic applies. I recommend watching some recordings of Smash 4 play.
These are original characters though. Now they are competing with the roster. Also, PM came out when Smash was primarily old and dry on the Wii. Now it is competing for attention. It is incredibly generous of Nintendo to not shut it down right now.
Have you not watched any Smash 4 play? Floaty is not a term I would apply to the game.

Too close to christmas sale for that
Thanks Kadey!
Edit:
You have failed me, the stream is down!
I have watched the game quite a bit for tournaments on the 3DS. I wouldn't say its as floaty as Brawl but it feels like the characters are moving through a batch of honey, slowing them down a bit. I still don't know if my statement is valid which is why I'm waiting for Smash to come out on the Wii U so I can see for myself.
Not really. Smash WiiU, at least at this point, has little in common with traditional 2d fighters. You're going to be playing footsies with floaty jumps, aerials that provide frame disadvantage and KOF-style dodges, but in the air, and it's all going to look and feel just as awkward as it sounds.

day 1, don't care about any sales

Ya I planned on watching some videos. I'll keep my eyes out for more. Thanks for the suggestions, I'll look into those channels.
Would you say the neutral is more like marvel then SF? I haven't even watched much Smash tbh. I played Marvel for a minute, but the online was so bad I just can't. Also that game makes me so salty it's unhealthy.
Another part of the reason I'm interested in this game is because I know some people who will be getting it so I'll have plenty of offline comp.

I think spiking someone off the stage in Smash is probably the top 3 most satisfying things in fighting games.
The entire reason I main Marth is to spike people off stages with the most disrespectful uses of his dair possible.
Kimo is spot on with what was said above and if you want to make a parallel to Marvel with Melee, than kind of yeah. You have more degrees of freedom in Smash than Marvel, additionally, Melee is somewhat like Marvel, only thing is you can't necessarily block in the game. You can nullify some moves but even using your shield becomes detrimental if you spam it to grabs, reads that turn into smashes, etc. The meta is certainly a bit higher than your usual fighting game.

I've seen this Gif too many times. Now to look into what it means so I can be in on the joke?
Fighting Games Weekly | Enzo_GTs avatars shirt offends me.
(I think he'll get the reference).
I am!
I just hope I can get into it. I used to be a huge KOF fan, but even though I think XIII is great, it never really grabbed me. I don't know if I'm simply more of a 1v1 player these days, I don't play any "team" fighter these days.

Threw a lucario off stage the other day at 33% and then spiked him mid extreme speed for the win. Felt amazing.

Yes. I used Marth in Melee back in the day and used to watch Ken put in work.
That was before I had any idea what a FGC was and shit.

It is in between. Spacing and footsies like SF, movement options and pacing like Marvel.
Here is a video that demonstrates what I mean pretty well:

Winter. So...next month?
Gifting you.

Gotta support SNK, especially if the quality's good. Though they aren't doing a beta for it like they did 98, so I'm worried this port is just for the 360 version with the FE changes.
I actually been meaning to look up Aerolinks Palutena.
I've just recently gone back to her for a bit. How do you think she fares so far, Karst?

What was the score of the busby vs champ match?

I haven't played a good Palutena yet, but she looks strong in videos. She has weak KO potential it seems, though. She also strongly differs in her abilities based on customs or no customs. Customs Palutena is undoubtedly strong, especially with the Lightweight glitch.
no don't
when it's cheap enough, I'll get a copy just to own it, but I wouldn't be getting $10 of utility out of it on launch day

...man I have no bloody idea what that's about. All I see is a Budget Chris Rock with a guy that looks like that Drake fellow.
No instead, spend half the time checking notes, doing button checks and getting coached. That being said. True
Am I doing it right?

So about the Topanga league
Besides Daigo, who else beat Sako? I thought he was undefeated last I check but then saw a chart and he had 3 losses. Though to be honest, I only keep up with it sparingly since I don't buy Nico Nico points.
We gotta go to a hyperbolic time chamber to finally put an end to Kadey's tyranny.
