For the love of god, everybody needs to buy the lan adapter.

Some people, like me, don't have their modem in the same room as their Wii U.

2nd round 4 player. SLIDE SLOW.

its like pablo or paulo was downloading porno in the background.

I had hoped 4-player lag would at least be tolerable on Wii U. I hope it improves but it most likely won't.

Just being realistic.

You can; these are just alternate unlock methods.

 

[Banana Aeon]

You still have to unlock characters?

Seriously!?

Oh, yeah, you can do those too, I was listin g the alternative methods.

OH the one you could order from Amazon? Won't get mine till tomorrow.

 

[guek]

This game looks fucking glorious

 

[KLatin Scelus]

Considering this game has something along the lines of 12 hours of music or so, make it a few more days.

He said music rips, not the whole soundtrack. Of course that's going to take awhile.

 

[abstract alien]

Seriously!?

Would have been fun if we didn't actually know who the hell they were already

They have the Luigi Hori fightpads I see.

 

[GregLombardi]

Guys I'm not playing the game until Saturday, but I"m just trying to guide impressions a bit. It's really important to me to be a bit more scientific about online impressions. As such, again, I recommend everyone include this in their info:

1. If online works OR doesn't, how many players?
2. What connection type did you have?
3. What is your geography?
4. Were you playing with friends or randoms?

Would be awesome to categorize impressions this way! <3

 

[Haloid1177]

Pro controller gonna take some getting used to if I can't find an adapter tomorrow.

 

[Nairume]

Smash Tour is fun

 

[guek]

Online is flawless in the 6 games I played.

Just being realistic.

it's probably a per match thing. i just did a 3 player match because 4th player disappeared. but it was good with some hiccup but overall it didn't hinder the fun. maybe because i'm used to lag in games ;P

 

[Super Stardust]

Almost all of his attacks got small buffs in damage and knockback, f-air has less lag, his two hit Smashes connect better, and the weaknesses of Buster and Speed were lowered by a good amount.

Awesome thanks

 

[Spainkiller]

Question: if you complete All-Star Mode with a character before having unlocked any (or only some) of the unlockable characters, does that All-Star victory still count towards the "complete All-Star mode with all characters" challenge?

I reckon it does, as I've cleared it with a few characters already and have gotten their (awesome) All-Star trophies, but a confirmation would be nice. It isn't "true" All-Star yet, after all.

 

[MaverickHunterAsh]

Now that embargo's up, I can finally post this: the fully unlocked character and stage select screens, for those who don't want to wait!

 

[Makai]

Amazing all around.

 

[AdanVC]

wifi works online for me

Aw yissssssssss

 

[Makai]

Online is indeed flawless. I'm on ethernet, though.

 

[OrbitalBeard]

Pre-load works perfectly

Game launches ten minutes early

Online seems to be pretty damn good for the most part

WTF Nintendo

 

[sheaaaa]

Is For Fun still limited to time battles?

Releasing a game on time and that works? Nintendo really is stuck in the past.

Smh when will they learn

 

[Orbis Tabula]

So, custom characters. If I have then on the 3ds and import them, does my WiiU version gain the custom moves I unlocked or do I need to reunlock them?

 

[Steve Youngblood]

I have to give Nintendo credit. That eShop unlock went far smoother than I expected. I half expected a large download or some other type of problem, but a small download and I was up and running. If only I didn't have work to do and didn't need to sleep before another long day at work tomorrow.

 

[FleetingFlowAir]

I gasped when I heard Kirby Air Ride music that wasn't the Legendary Air Ride theme. Thank you Sakurai for representing your own game with more music.

 

[tapedeck]

Probably very early to ask this question but..initially how much faster/better than Brawl does this feel?

 

[IntelliHeath]

So, custom characters. If I have then on the 3ds and import them, does my WiiU version gain the custom moves I unlocked or do I need to reunlock them?

Nope, it wouldn't gain those custom moves so you have to unlock everything again.

You have to re-unlock them.

 

[blackgandorf]

Well, I started the game for the first time and is appearing a message about the need of a SD memory card to save photos of the game. I installed the game on a External HDD. To avoid this, I need to transfer the game to the internal SD memory of the console or can I use a external SD memory on the slot?

It's 2014, Nintendo is suppose to blah blah blah.

 

[AppleSautts]

Is the Online flawless for 4-player matches, or are we talking about 1-on-1?

 

[Cody_D165]

Oh, 3 stocks instead of 2?

many are speculating the game will use 3 stock in tournament because the better control options are doing wonders for game speed and playstyle

obviously needs more testing though

I still prefer 2 myself

 

[batbeg]

I've only won one online match so far though I lost several Sudden Deaths lol. It's just seriously so good.

Done 8 4 player for glory fights, one for fun, minimal lag even over wifi. One match started rough but only like the first 5 or 10 seconds.

 

[JC Lately]

Releasing a game on time and that works? Nintendo really is stuck in the past.

Next thing you're gonna a tell me is that plan on releasing even more features in patches for free.

 

[jorgejjvr]

Anyone for 1 v 1?

 

[Timeaisis]

8 player is insane.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

had to chase down an SD card

but GTA5 was holding me off

now supper badass Smash intro

 

[XANDER CAGE]

Eshop seems pretty hammered now. Can't pay for the game.
