For those with friends who own a Wii-U, can someone try and PM me if they were able to use their own gamepad on a friend's Wii-U as an extra controller.
With begin able to use a 3DS and a gamecube controller, it would be awesome if Nintendo allowed (or enabled) a 2nd gamepad to be used as another controller for Smash.
I doubt it works but it's worth a shot.
I'll try it myself afterwork, but if anyone has access to the game w/ Wii-u friends, you might as well give it a shot

Yup, Mario. Very directly.
Though if you're actually new to Smash you will have a lot of adjusting to do related to the controls.

I won't really be able to sit down with this until after finals and my LSAT but picked it up today and played a couple matches:
1. I suck. Haven't played Brawl 3-4 years probably
2. The game looks beautiful and I'm only playing on a 720P TV
3. I wish more characters/stages were unlockable as opposed to everything basically already being unlocked from the start

Games and more > solo > stadium > multi-man > cruel
Use kirby/wario, follow online strats.

Reports so far in this thread:
LAN Connections: Game is perfect, even up to 4 v 4 connections, though there are some problems with 4v4 connections when there are tons of items, but only in a small % of games that are played
Wifi: Sometimes game is perfect, other times game is far from perfect. Still trying to determine what is causing imperfections.
You cannot use 2 gamepads on a single Wii U.

Doesn't read OPs, especially not his own
online depends entirely on the connection of both opponents, if your wifi is shit or just acting shit then the connection will be shit and will effect the other person, so if you have good wifi, but your opponent does not, the match isnt going to go very well
That really blows. Haven't had issues yet, surprisingly.
Game is freaking incredible, as expected. Myself and two other of my friends all had it pre-loaded last night and started playing right at 9pm PST. We played 10 games maybe? It was flawless. I mean really incredible. They are both on wifi and I'm connected via ethernet.

Are the character unlock conditions the same as on 3DS? Wish you could just transfer that stuff over.

Well, shit. What's the best LAN adapter for the Wii U? Might as well get one while I can.
I have a Nyko Wii Lan adapater that I bought 6 years ago for Brawl. Tonight, I'll give online a go and post my results. Here's hoping it holds up. Used it for Mario Kart with no trouble, but it wasn't a noticeable improvement over Wifi. I think I got around 12-15 down with it, which isn't great.

Either you are unlucky and got matched with 5 people who have bad connections or your connection isn't up to snuff.

yeah I know that, was just hoping for some Nintendo magic for this one game, since every controller they made in the last decade works on the thing.
It's so good. That new plastic smell!

A wifi connection with 100% failure seems to be rare from this thread. He/she should either figure out how to tinker with the connection, figure out if there are people stealing his/her wifi, or go LAN IMO.

How long is the cord on the new Gamecube controllers? The original ones were super short.. like 3 feet long. ;(
Shit.
I work at UPS. Just a minute ago there was a package that is going to Greece that went through the X-Ray but had to be checked by hand. Turned out it contained about 100 copies of the European version of Smash.
I HELD A COPY OF THE GAME IN MY HAND BUT STILL HAVE TO WAIT A WEEK!

I got a $5 one off Amazon and it works perfectly.

This morning I was able to pick up a gc adapter and controller. Also got a Link amiibo and strategy guide. I'm all set except for the fact that I have to go to work now 
I ordered the controller bundle from bestbuy.com since they were the only place that still had it in late October. Chose free shipping because shipping was too much otherwise. When I placed the order, the delivery estimate was "before Dec. 1st."
My game is out for delivery right now. Got free release day delivery. Fucking awesome.

Yeah, it seems like a problem is on his end. You should always go LAN for online if you can or make sure that your wifi is stable and strong.

Mb/s doesn't really matter, it's your latency (ping).

People please post more info than just this. What mode? How many ppl? Do you have trash internet? Im reading lots of positive impressions for online play.

For the uninitiated, make sure you put the Wii U in the DMZ on your router to avoid firewall issues, along with setting up a dhcp reservation. Also, make sure the MTU on your Wii U and router match. MTU mismatches can cause packet drops between the two, even if your ISP connection is fast and reliable.
Same as the new white ones. 10 ft.
You tell me
Try http://www.pingtest.net/
Make sure you enable java/plugins so you get accurate results.
You tell me
Your ping is terrible.

This is only Wifi specific right? Doesn't matter for wired connections as I recall...

For what, fiber? 17ms is perfectly fine and probably better than most people in this thread saying the online is fine.

Alright spent the morning doing randoms. Came out with about a 80% winrate, feels great to use the GC controller again. I am on the WiFi and had 2 instances of being matched with someone laggy. I know I have the LAN adapter somewhere, I bought it for my Wii when I was in college... just need to figure out where it ended up.
Ill be around later if any GAF folk wanna throw down.

Well, we need his jitter too, but I'm used to and expect <10ms. Work has spoiled me.

Nope, the DMZ and MTU issues apply to both. The difference in MK8 online performance for me was night and day.

17 ping is terrible? In what world?

Try checking your router settings? (MTU, DMZ)
or try going wired if you can.
