How much data would that use up?

No idea. Gaming generally doesn't use up much data unless you are downloading updates.

But I haven't had to pay attention to data usage in years so I don't know a ballpark figure.

I know I use about 50gb of mobile data a month on Netflix and music streaming alone though.
 
I found out about a last-minute smash party at a friend's place. I didn't even realize they were getting smash. We had exactly enough for 8-player smash with 4 gamecube controllers and some other pro / gamepad / wiimote controllers.

8-player is madness. People had a hard time seeing their character since the screen was "only" maybe 40 inches or so. It was better with 5 or fewer.

Items actually weren't too bad. The only item that seemed really annoying was the black club that shoots tornados. It seemed to show up at least once nearly every single match. It's not even that it kills you, it just irritates everyone playing and not in a fun way. Fortunately I guess it's possible to turn off only that item.

We briefly tried the Mii classes. I don't like miis in general, and most people didn't seem very excited about the classes. We also tried one 15-turn runthrough of the Smash Tour mode. It sort of made sense, but wasn't a huge hit. There's too much time doing random non-fighting things. One thing that would be great if Nintendo could patch it in, would be the ability to do custom draft stock matches without requiring the boardgame. Like, allow two players to take turns picking from all fighters, until each player has a list of 3+ ordered stocks, sort of vaguely like Marvel vs. Capcom (if I'm thinking of the right series) without the dynamic tagging. And yes like someone mentioned, 5-6 team colors would be appreciated for the cases where you have 2-3 new players.

I was really bad with a GameCube controller even though I've used one in the past. I felt like I did much better with the 3DS for some reason. I don't know if it was partly the TV but since other players were doing better, presumably not. I may try the Pro Controller and see if that works any better for me.

It also occasionally felt like the entire 8-player game was slightly slowing down (aside from slowdown items), but for all I know certain levels might briefly have that effect.

Overall I'm pretty happy. I might wish for some more levels, and I'm hoping I can find a control scheme that feels good for me on my own HDMI monitor.

So, looks like peach is my main. That float, that fair.

Zelda will likely still be my main like she was in melee and brawl, but I did notice I did way better with peach in this version then I had in previous versions... though I wasn't able to figure out why.

while we lost our characters from time to time... in general we didn't have much trouble following our characters on my 37 inch screen.

As for tour mode another thing I would like to see patched in is the ability to choose which character you defend with form the ones you have... as far as I could tell I couldn't switch characters which makes it really boring when you have a bunch of characters you don't like and only one that you actually like, but can't play them because they weren't chosen for you :(

I would love a mode where you could select characters for each stock though... or at the very least a random that each time you died you came back as a different character.
 
This is only tangentially related to the topic, but I could use some advice and it's Smash related, soooo...

I preordered the Wii U bundle a while back through Best Buy (unlocked member, 20% off, etc.). Went to pick it up and they didn't have any copies for anyone that didn't order online. Now you can't get bundles anywhere. My preorder is still active. What do?
 
Who in the world thought giving Greninja 5 teleports was a good idea? that shit is stupid. 165% and he's still not getting smashed out. Get bent.

Flip tables and go with Amazon next time.

In all honesty, just pick up the normal game and hope you can find the GameCube stuff somewhere. They are completely sold out in a lot of areas.
 
Had a nice 8-person party tonight at my house when I started up Smash 4 for the first time. Played more than 50 matches, unlocked several characters and had a ton of fun. The game is great.

I'll have to get some solo time in tomorrow when I wake up.

Tried it in Brawl. Still preferred the wii remote-nunchuck.

Is it possible to compete with that set up though?
Click to expand...

I feel like it's doable but it's always going to create control issues... I played a lot of Brawl using the Wiimote (as well as during today) but continued to have trouble finding a place to comfortably put the jump and grab buttons.

Leaving up-tap to jump makes some of the up-combos imprecise (and short-hopping difficult), and only using the C-button for jump makes dodging with Z kind of... dodgy. I played around with the idea of making the B-button jump (and moving Special to the down-arrow on the Wiimote) but it started making the special moves harder to reach.

If only the Wiimote had one more button nearby.
 
what. why is co-op online for glory timed and not stock?

wtf



Also i might be crazy but smash tour is almost not terrible. almost. Need to do one last one to unlock the MS Paint stage.
grumble.
 
Unlocks are so weird.

I beat 100 Man Brawl and unlocked
Dark Pit instead of Wario
.

Then I played Cruel Smash, got 0 kills and unlocked
Lucina
.

I have no idea how unlocks work haha.

In an unrelated note, I got a cool 3rd party trophy:
Globox! Which means Rayman isn't alone.
 
I just love how Pac-Man, Megaman and Sonic are highlighted on their own thumbnail at the back of the box as "Gues Stars Join In!" <3
 
Guys, sort of a unique Smash question here.

I'm not really a fan of the series but I've usually purchased each one because of the Mother content they have, to add to my Earthbound collection (COME ON NESS AMIIBO GOD).

What type of Mother content is in this game? Mother stages, characters, special items? Music? Does anyone have a comprehensive list? I'm trying to see if it's worth buying for my purposes (no Lucas T_T).

Online a good time? Not many gamers in my circle.

I haven't played online yet. Judging from the comments in the thread, most people are having success. I suspect like the 3DS it will depend on the quality of the connection between you and your opponent. Hopefully For Glory takes that into account. With a wired USB adapter, of the supported chipset, it should be even better.

Did you really love earlier Smash games? If you don't have local friends to play with, and you're considering getting an entire system for one game, you might carefully think about whether you really like the game that much. I would say there ARE other good games for it (e.g. the new 3D Mario, Bayonetta 1 & 2, Donkey Kong games, Mario Kart 8, Hyrule Warriors), but just think about how much you like Smash itself if that's the only use you will be getting out of a $200+ purchase.
 
Is it just me, or is level 9 AI actually pretty damn hard? I haven't played Smash more than a handful of times since being obsessed with Melee back in early high school (~6-7 years ago). I was decent back then, but I'm getting my ass kicked now. It's like they're letting the AI read your inputs and respond in kind. Their reaction times and ability to judge your trajectory is insane.

I haven't unlocked a whole bunch yet, but there's a fair amount of Mother related music tracks available right away.
