Gamepad lights up informing me SSBU is out now....... *sigh*

That physical copy in 13 to 14 hours will make all the waiting worth it.
 
You're a brave man buying these things over the Internet. I wouldn't buy unless I saw it in person first. Too much variation from one specimen to the next.

I have what I want from Wave 1: Yoshi, Kirby, Mario, DK, Peach and Fox.

For Wave 2, I want Diddy, Pit and Captain Falcon.

And for Wave 3, I want Dedede, Toon Link and Bowser.

I'm also interested in Shulk and Mega Man.

SO MANY AMIIBO!

Hmm, I guess that's true. Well, I've been lucky so far with my wave 1 amiibo (Kirby, Fox, Yoshi, Link) - they all look great except for Link, who looks kinda crappy, but his was one of the crappy-looking figures already, so I knew what I was getting with him.

Hopefully my luck continues!
 
I figured out what my problem is with this version of smash - the momentum changes have completely fucked my spacing game. I whiff so many attacks expecting my character to slide further with them. Also, it seems like the range on many characters has been toned down somewhat. I literally stand there doing smashes that are pixels away from connecting all the goddamn time and it's killing me.

I say this as a Marth/Ike/Toon Link/Captain Falcon player. Running attacks don't carry as far. Smash attacks don't carry and have less range. The momentum changes make the whole game feel more stiff to me.
 
After grabbing a few select amiibos from wave 1, I think i'll grab marth as my last pick from this wave.

After that, i'm looking to preorder Shulk tomorrow at gamestop. I would recommend you fellow collectors consider doing the same. Shit is going to sell out fast, plus I was told they're getting a limited run once the figures arrive at gamestop stores.

Overall I think next year i'll grab megaman, shulk, lucina, rob, and duck hunt. After that i'm good with amiibos until nintendo decides to let us order custom mii amiibos.
 
Holy crap. So confused. Where do I do custom moves and power up stuff on Wii U?

I HAVE NO IDEA. I went through so many menus ;.;
 
So I just played, and won, my first online match but damn, that lag was unbearable. It's a miracle I won, but maybe my opponent had the same problem. Was this just coincidence or might there be a problem connection wise? I'm connected wireless and the router is barely 50cm (two feet?) away from the Wii U.

Would the Wii LAN adapter definitely help? It's actually a bit ridiculous that a 2012 console doesn't have a LAN port, but that's for another thread.



lol, just as I hit 'reply' to this the doorbell rang and the prodigal box appeared in my silly little hands :D

I'm a walking talisman of luck, THANK ME. :P
 
It really does feel like something is missing in solo, without an adventure mode or Break the Target (also I liked race to the finish).
At least the 3DS version have Smash Run.
 
Got the last GC controller adapter in town and I'm done shopping.

I invested 320€ in Smash the last three days (I had the console already, only game, pads and Amiibos), you are welcome Nintendo.

Now lets play! The three hours I did dip in last night blew me away already.
 
smash releasing on black friday.

AKA the worst.....

Stores are all so so busy, all I want is a couple of gamecube controllers and the adapter

but no, that's impossible as in game the queues are so long it would take at least an hour to get round.

Why can't I just enjoy smash?

Before you ask the websites down also....
 
Is it connected to hub via y cable?

Thanks for about the rumble wasn't aware of that. :)
My USB hub is actually powered through an AC adapter, so my hard drive is connected to it through one cable only.

You should get a powered USB hub cause one port on the Wii U isn't enough to power a hub.

If you don't have one, try and get one that comes with a power cable for the hub itself like this one: http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00E0NH9FC/

Yeah, the hub I got is externally powered via ac adaptor so in theory I should be okay.
 
So I just bought my copy but when I start the game it just shows the Super Smash Bros logo and it doesn't do anything... Ive been waiting for half an hour now. When I reboot it does the same thing. I can't even open the home screen or anything. What luck...
EDIT: Now my screen turned black. Progression?

Man, I have about a 20% success rate on matches not being laggy as shit. There was a villager last night that was literally just dodge rolling back and forth, over and over. I couldn't do anything about it because there was a half second (or more) delay on my inputs. It was smooth visually though, which was weird.

Yup, I think I'm done with random online matches.

ShopTo failed to get the game to me a day early.
 
I had a similar experience against a Sheik a few hours ago. I could see what he was doing, but for some reason I couldn't shut the **** down! I might record it and upload it to youtube to get some feedback on how to deal with that kind of pressure.

Ugh it kinda makes me at ease to hear that I'm not the only one struggling with such players, I know how you feel :( Yeah I couldn't shut it down either bar one time where I only stayed on the ground and somehow managed to always side-step in his back for 1-2 normal attacks. And that's a good idea, I recorded some matches too so I would upload them aswell but I sadly have no capture-card :/
 
I can't believe someone just asked for Mew to be playable character in Smash 4. I can't really see how it would work in battles. Also just remember the game isn't just made for competitively fan bases. Casual might like the things that you dislike.

Finally! Hope that you would have fun with the game.

You should check out KartGAF. Dat trash talk.

Yep, I love MarioKartGAF for that <3.
 
Yep, this is a very fine game!
Spent an hour trying some modes. Toon link feels weaker than in brawl. Maybe because I played with the gamepad.

Can't wait to put another hour in later!
