We went straight for team battled then called it quits so I didn't get to check, I hope so though.
While I plan to play with the GC controller I only played with my Pro tonight and aside from having to switch the shield to L and R and grab to LZ/RZ I had no issues whatsoever.

Alright.
Yeah, I read something a couple of pages back which made it sound like you can only do team battles online with a local friend which is disappointing if true. I'll have to check myself when I get the game later.

Anyone else get input lag using 3ds as a controller?
oh man rosalina is too fun
Looks amazing unlike 99% of Wii U games. Playing a couple feet away from a 1080p 42 panny plasma

It looks grand. Textures and minute details won't blow your mind but the models are solid and the game is extremely fluid, which compliments its rich color palette very well.
Hmm, so online worked fine for some people? Most of the matches I tried last night were a stuttery mess, probably 10-15 fps. Even the ones that did work better still felt noticeably off compared to single player. I'm stuck on wireless, unless someone has a magical way of getting an ethernet cord through my ceiling without the wife finding out. I've never had any issue whatsoever playing MK8 online, that's always been smooth. I'm gonna be real disappointed if it continues to be like this.

Man the online is damn near as flawless as you could possibly hope! Played tons of 4 player and 1 vs 1 matches and it was very smooth maybe 1 or 2 matches out of 35 or so I noticed any lag,and even those 2 were way better than the bad matches on 3DS... and I'm on WiFi! Been playing almost 6 hrs straight, so much content in this game. Was not planning on staying up till 7am.

What do we know about music unlock conditions? I saw Ash's list, but that's about it.

anybody want to test US - EU connections? i would be up for a match right now.
yeah they put one up for 4-player For Fun too. Andre specifies in the comments that this was recorded live and not through the replay mode so any lag will show up in the video. looks buttery smooth to me.

and they posted on facebook about the online too
"So far, really happy with Smash Wii U's online! Several hours of mostly lag-free matches!"

I'm a newcomer, but I've tried both Wii's Classic controller and the Gamecube controller (I have a homebrew adapter a friend made). Both work pretty fine.
Seems like most serious Smash players prefer the GCN. I don't know if there's nostalgia involved, but since I quite like the GCN controller I'll be using it too. That said, Classic controller works pretty well, and the Wii U Controller Pro will certainly work even better.

After what took about all night, the download is finally finished! Glad I decided to sleep through it!
Sorry for asking again on the next page, but it seems like I've been drowned out by the US release hype. Would be really important to know for me.

I live in Japan but so far the online play has been very close to local play, only one match was slightly laggy.

I'm listening to this playlist right now:
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL0YN3mEp0MJPH9AsLfRf0LlYkdqB7WprK
It's a bit weird because all tracks are 15 minutes long, so I just skip it when I'm satisfied.
Man, you've got Smash! You don't need a wife anymore!
That is just cruel man.....
I'm not really worried about the textures. Just the resolution. On my tv the difference between 720p and 1080p is extreme.
Get a powerline ethernet adapter.
So what's the consensus on the online play? Better than 3DS? About the same?
It's the one thing I haven't been able to try.

Feh, waited for target to open up and they hadn't put up their display, amiibos or accessories. Gotta go back at lunch and hope they have GCN adapters...
Good. I bought a new modem, a new router, and a wired adapter just for smash. Hope it helps me out. Good to know that the potential for good online is there. ;_;
Blessed sakurai. He really went all out for this game. Gamecube controller support, good online, best 'gamefeel' for me ever (I ADORE the way the game plays, vs brawl/melee/64), best roster if we ignore some deep cuts, and some pretty fantastic stages.
I'm so happy with this smash. It's very unlikely i'll go back to the other ones for anything but nostalgia.
100 challenges to go....
You can just ask an employee to get it from the back....

Yeah I did, guy was clueless and said he had to wait for his manager to get in before he could sell anything. I was late for work so I'll have to go back.
Powerline adapter if your electrical wiring is good.
