Uk? Amazon really suck for me so I stopped using them for anything important. I've switched over to pre-ordering from the Nintendo UK store and I'm expecting the game today.

Yes. Well, I'm on one of the offshore Islands, so when Amazon only post the day before a Friday release I never get the item till the following week. Since they've started doing this as a rule, I'm experimenting with other retailers. Got a better chance of Smash coming tomorrow since it was posted on Wed - my Amazon order would still be in their warehouse!
 
A New UK Smasher is approaching. (Excuse the stacks of Blu-rays that arrived today).

Where'd you get it btw?
 
Ordered from shopto. Assumed that I had no post today as our post normally comes between 10:30 and 11. Left the house to pop to Tesco at 12:30. Came back to see a note from Royal Mail. Oh well, will have to pick it up from the post office on Saturday morning.

Why not tomorrow (Or this evening)?
 
Are there any character guides to help a beginner to this series? Wanting to main Bowser but have no idea where to start with the system in general or character specific strategies.
 
Keep in mind that the GC adaptor pack isn't exactly small so it might not come with your mail, but instead be delivered by a royal mail parcel truck. Apparently these can deliver anywhere between 8am and 4pm. At least that's what I'm hoping happened because the mail's already been today for me and it was just boring letters XD

I am also a beginner. I found that I was pretty much on my own. Just play and have fun, and you will figure things out. I did watch a few tournaments, and I bought the hardcover guide, which gave me a few pointers.
 
Just got my copy. Damn this game is great. I wish you could transfer more than just characters from the 3DS save though.

8 player smash is such a lovely mess, what a great addition.
 
And mine hasn't arrived from ShopTo. A bit grumpy now, needed something new to relax me from ORAS coverage for an hour or two.

It's just a pain because my post comes the middle of the afternoon. I could go down the shop and get it before it would arrive. Whole point of ordering online used to be to get it early.

Jealous of you guys who got it today
 
Hmm. I also ordered from ShopTo, but the Royal Mail delivery just arrived at my office and there's no sign of it. :(

Is everyone that ordered from there seeing their copies arrive today?
 
With the lack of availability of the GameCube controller adapters in the US, I'm thinking about ordering one from Amazon UK. With the slowest shipping option (6-10 days), I can get it for $32. Any reason why there would be any compatibility issues over here?

America uses USB slots whereas we use UKB slots. They are not compatible.
 
But she has nothing to handle.
BG pls. There is something there. I'm positive.

She's ready to use the chopping board!
:3

Dammit Horizon! I'm about to finish my daily chores and head out to find Smash Bros in a shop but then you post this .gif and make me want to snag a PSN card on the way to get Senran for Vita too! D:
Shinovi Versus and Bon Appetit. Do it Sky. Buy them. Life and hometown all day every day.
 
Tonight I'll download it! In the meantime...

I'm still not 100% sure, but it could be that tomorrow I will have a spare PAL Smash U dd code to sell. Code is 39£ at GAME, I'd trade it it for 40€ in eshop cards.
If someone is interested, contact me in PM.
 
I just ordered a few GameCube adapters and controllers. I'm going to give it a try and see if it really is any better than using the pro controller. I figure I have nothing to lose. I can either return the stuff or sell it to people here if I change my mind.

It does seem odd that Z is the default for grab. Even weirder is that Nintendo defaults to the opposite on the game pad and pro controller. On the GC controller, you would move your finger up to grab. On the default controllers, shield is the high button and grab is the low button.
 
Another ShopTo order here that didn't come. Seems the people getting it from them today only ordered the standalone game SKU and nothing more.

I got mine (adaptor bundle), meanwhile two of my friends have not got it but one did get the Pokemon they ordered so if there's a pattern here I can't see it.
 
Amazon sent me a three 30 days of Prime. Maybe I'll order a Pro Controller for tomorrow.

Man, I feel like I've been spending more money than usual this month and it's not even Christmas.

Noooo, as much as I want life and hometown I have to stay strong! D: I promised myself to gift myself a Macbook Air for Christmas, Smash including the GC adapter and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire will cost me 100€+ already, I still have my import copy of Shinovi Versus and my 8gb + 4gb memory-cards are filled to the brim... :(




Oh fine I'll see what I can do... >.>

Takaki-sensei: laughs
 
hmm, so it seems hard for me to get my groove with characters in this game. I've gone from

C. Falcon
Ike
Diddy

to my new main which I'm winning well with...

King DeDeDe

his side B is no fucking joke.
 
I stayed up far too late playing Smash. I'm going to be a zombie at Thanksgiving today. Probably the second best holiday to be a zombie, though.

Totally worth it.
