I think it was longer than that, but that doesn't make sense as Ganondorf was never like that in any of his games.
Yeah, but nothing changed since Brawl that would make Ganondorf a priority. Twilight Princess is still his most recent appearance. Pit starred in a brand new game with a ton of new weapons. I'm not saying I agree with the way Ganondorf is depicted, but I don't think Pit is to blame for that. Kid Icarus: Uprising practically ensured that Pit would have some new moves no matter what.
 
Do characters unlock if you link the 3DS version or do we have to unlock them again? And if we have to, is there a list with unlock requirements somewhere?
 
Has anyone unlocked random stage selection yet? I thought it would unlock once I've gotten all of the stages, but maybe I'm missing some.

edit: wait, I am missing one
 
Sooo I'm back with my haul of Smash Bros U, Pokémon Alpha Sapphire and the GameCube adapter! :D Sadly no Senran Kagura, Horizon but the store only had 50€ PSN cards in stock and that would be way more than I needed, but it will happen soon enough :P

Also a huuge thank you to my Media Markt! They didn't get any Smash bundles and had the game for 60€ and the GameCube adapter for 20€, even though their website listed the bundle as available for 64.99€. I went to the guy at the gaming sections info-stand and asked him about the bundle I saw online. He knows me by now and confirmed they didn't get any but asked me how much it was listed for online, then he printed me a paper and said I can get the Controller Adapter for 4.99€ instead of 19.99€ to match the bundle!

What a amazing customer service, if you are on GAF and read this by any chance, thank you very much! :)

Now I just popped the game in and now update yet on my EU Wii U so I just did a quick two minute Smash and my god, the 3DS version was already awesome but this is a revelation, it looks and plays so smooth and well in motion even on my PC monitor where Wii U games usually look a bit meh compared to my TV. The 1080p 60fps really shows and it's beautiful! :D Can't wait to dig in fully after the patch is out and after I descaled our coffee maker which will take me 40 minutes :(

Oh and how can I get screenshots on my PC? Do I have to use the Wii U upload method or will it be enough to put my Wii U's SD card in my PC and can I grab the screenshots I made from there?
 
Walked into the store, everything was Smash, Amiibo and Pokémon.

Dat Samus! So good. Amiibo's look pretty good in person. Mario and Peach looked good. Haven't seen Killager, Wii Fit Trainer, Marth or Kirby. Apparently the first batch of Amiibo are sold out at the store I went to. They only had two Pikachu's left, but their future owner would be there soon to pick 'em up. Guess Amiibo will be a thing.

Groot is eyeballin' Samus right now...

As for the game, well damn, IT'S BEAUTIFUL
 
Don't know if this is week old news or just a funny quirk in the PAL versions of the game but a few times I've had music tracks I haven't unlocked play on a stage, my two trips to Mushroom Kingdom U were accompanied by the SMB3 medley and Omega Temple threw in some Dragon Roost Island, it made a mockery of my music sliders which is of course one of the first things I addressed when starting the game.
That and Smash Tour gives no fucks about these so called unlockable characters, I was rolling with Wario from the start of my first turn so it actually surprised me a few hours later when he popped up again as a new challenger approaching.

Did you use Royal Mail Tracked for the delivery?

I don't believe so, as you can probably tell from my posts so far the attention I paid to this side of things was in the region of being oblivious.

Maybe it's just me but your Samus kind of looks like it's bent and is leaning to the left (her right).
 
So ShopTo has had issues with Amiibos as well as the GC Adapters:

We are contacting you regarding your currently 'processing' order for Amiibo. Due to unforeseen circumstances in regards to collection via Royal Mail, your order has not been dispatched today. We are expecting to dispatch your order tomorrow (Friday 28th), with delivery as early as Saturday 29th. Please accept our apologies for all inconvenience caused and thank you for your patience. 

Dunno what the hell is going on here, but I already received my dispatch notices for the 3 I ordered.
 
I'm not bloody happy. Amazon has dispatched the game yet and I selected the on the day of release delivery option. Anyone else in the same boat?

This is exactly why I stopped pre-ordering with Amazon. Had this happen way too many times. They don't give a shit either, or maybe they'll offer free shipping on something.
 
Amazon still hasn't dispatched any of the other stuff I ordered with the game (GCN controllers and Amiibos), whereas ShopTo has atleast dispatched it (the game + adapter) on next day delivery.


Decided not to buy games from Amazon again, may as well save up points from ShopTo.

This happened with Pokemon Y as well (except in that case, all 3 other people in my house who preordered it got it on release date, but I didn't, despite being at the same address and being the first to preorder it), should have learnt my lesson there.
 
Fuck Kirby's Crazy Appetite event.
Yeah it's so hard to see the foodn that stage... and then the cart comes flying at you while you're focusing on the area around you. I love the challenge variety but holy crap are some of them hard. Also the duck hunt one took forever because the collision detection on the ducks is really wonky.

I preordered the Smash bundle from GameStop. They never did ship it, and last night they canceled my order.
 
yup, looks pretty much like her figma, and that's pretty cool

not like Link, he looks like a McDonald's toy, specially the face :c
It differs really; saw one Link Amiibo which looked pretty damn smooth. Quality between several Link's was weird. Saw one derpy face, damn.
 
It's been a while now and I think it's unusual, even if the game still isn't out yet, but for European gaffers: Have you tried to register the game on Club Nintendo?

Mine still says the code isn't valid, which hasn't happen in years (a long time ago it was the case as they were entered in database late).

I would try again tomorrow on the actual release, and if it still doesn't work contact nintendo.
 
Something for EU- or German-GAF... our Media Markt (German electronics chain) broke the street date today, so we all can enjoy the game a day earlier!

They did not just break the street date... they broke it big time. I mean... that's quite a pile of copies. Hell, they even didn't care about fucking ORAS.

So yeah, went home with Smash U and the adapter for 69 € (about 86 $) and I'm damn happy. Was tempted to get a Link Amiboo, but then I realized that I don't shit money. :D

Happy smashing, everyone! :)
 
She does yeah. But honestly, it's not that distracting though. Quality of the paint job is pretty solid.

It's not supposed to look like that though, right? I wouldn't buy an amiibo, but if I did and got one that was bent I'd request to get a new one (which you can by law of course).
 
Waiting for online to come on and messing around with the music...just incredible.

Any news on a solid gamerip, surely someone has dumped the game by now and this can be achieved?
 
what are the best strategies for fighting the sword boss at the end of the higher modes of classic? i feel like i can never dodge those attacks very well
 
Any way to put all your Smash attacks on the Wiimote D-Pad (like in Brawl), using the Nunchuk too of course.

Just testing out different setups, and in Brawl that was actually super effective once you got used to it.

Edit: Maybe I'm too drunk already, but I see zero option to do so (only shake smashes), so any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
