Super Smash Bros. for Wii U |OT| True Potential of Smash Bros.

As a total amateur with about 2 hours under my belt, my thoughts on the characters I've played so far:

Link - seems to be just as good as I remember him, but he's a bit slower. Tried to switch to toon link, but his dash lunge is just way too short.

Villager - surprisingly tough. Lots of ways to get back to the stage. But that whole four-move thing to cut down a tree is almost worthless. Is there a strategy there I'm missing?

Zero suit samus - she's pretty, she's fast, she's tough... but I'd never use her. I hate when B-down doesn't go straight down, and instead goes toward an angle.




Who is everyone else playing as?

I know Link isn't considered a top-tier char; but he's just what I gravitate toward cause Zelda games are my favorite Nintendo titles. Meh, I'll never be that great so I may as well have fun.
 
F-Zero feels so forgotten in this game, which is only made worse by how it mirrors its status at Nintendo at large. Seeing brand new stages like Orbital Gate Assault just makes me disappointed that there's no new F-Zero stage in the first HD Smash and it's stuck with a stage with Brawl level assets that's probably among the returning stages that got the least amount of visual upgrading.

Earthbound at least got a new Assist Trophy and a good selection of new remixes. F-Zero got... a single remix of a song that's been in every Smash since Melee. And that's it.
 
I'm having trouble trying to be competent at this game. I love it so far, but coming off the Project M build since its first release, it's really hard for me to adjust.

Anyone have any tips on Zero Suit for this iteration? I already hate what they did to her neutral B. :/
 
Man, the bae (Samus) feels absolutely deadly this time around...Zero Suit does, anyway. I always liked playing as her in Brawl, but she never really clicked the way she is this time around. Those rocket boots really are doing a lot for her. I think part of the problem last game was that her up special and smashes felt super weak.

Also, 300th post, hooray! Fitting, since I've been stalking smash threads since about the 9th mega thread...

At least F-Zero got a NintendoLand game and a Mario Kart 8 course, I guess. It and MOTHER certainly got the short end of the stick in the Wii U version, though. Dunno how it wound up that the 3DS version of all things treated them better.
 
Loving this game, online works really well for me and I'm surprised it works so well. For whatever reason I wasn't a big fan of the 3ds version (maybe controls) but the wii u version I can barely stop playing.
 
Man oh man oh man! I'm having so much damn fun with this game! I barely logged in any hours into the single player modes I've just been playing online nonstop. So freaking addicting. Virtually no lag just keeps me coming back for more.

I got my ass whooped good on for glory lol but I won a lot of matches in for fun so I guess that makes up for it :p

Feel free to add me people! NNID is usefbehbeh


Also can anyone tell me how to register the games to get the soundtrack and mewtwo? Thanks!

Says a lot about how no one could be arsed to go out of their way for F-Zero that the 3DS stage is made up of assets from a 24 year old game.
 
I finally won 100,000 coins from a three match streak. The maximum you can get. Over 270,000 coins. I started the spectate mode today with less than 1000.

Took me a good 6 hours. Obviously I did stuff in between.

I can't continue on as I've got to study. Hopefully this is enough bank to buy all the remaining trophies when I start only getting repeats.
 
For the hell of it, here are all the Brawl tracks that are missing in the game (not including Melee tracks). Will spoiler for the sake of individuals who want to find disappointment at their own pace.

Molgera Battle
Opening / Menu (Metroid Prime)
Checker Knights
Humoresque of a Little Dog
You Call This a Utopia?!
Famicom Medley (Replaced with new medley)
Super Sonic Racing

These are big losses
I wonder why they would bother cutting music. It couldn't possibly be hard to just port it.

Jeez man, do you even like this game?

That blurry pic made me think I was looking at a leak for a second.

Played Pyrosphere once. Never again.

Ridley assisting isnt that bad :p
 
So does no one have anything to say on the single player?

I'm guessing the lack of responses means, the SP experience is fairly shallow.

NOT GOOD NEWS!

I posted about it like in last page. Overall, I'd say it's pretty good even if you can definitely feel the absence of an Adventure Mode and a proper Break the Targets.
 
Sorry if this is obvious, but I've looked through the digital manual and tried using Google, but what does a gold flag signify in Event mode? I can't get a gold flag on "The Original Heavyweights" after several attempts, but with the other two I got it after the first time I beat them on hard.

The lack of Break The Targets actually makes me really sad. I know it was a lot of work to have each character get their own layout, but damn if it wasn't really really fun

And they could have made a creation mode and online sharing and -drool-

Yes? Does that mean I can't express disappointment in it? It comes from love. Part of that love of Smash Bros. is seeing fan favorite franchises treated like royalty, and I think it's a legitimate grievance to see some of these, especially dead ones, left out in the cold.

On F-Zero, I think part of the reason the lack of a new stage from it feels worse than Earthbound is that, while Captain Falcon is great, he has actually little to do with F-Zero as you would know it from playing them--its the tracks and races that sell F-Zero
