adjust the song frequency on selected stage

Oh, I see; it's just a quick way of accessing that menu. I thought that the frequency settings you made from the main menu only applied if you selected a stage by selecting a stage in "My Music" mode (the same way you select a stage in "Omega" mode to play it's Final Destination form.

Thanks!

 

[Out_Of_Ammo]

Sure. NNID is the same as my name here

Allright, added you.

 

[Tesseract]

why is online so good, i must sleep

my eyelids are heavy

one more 1v1 ...

 

[ExReey]

Just bought Smash Bros Wii U (my first Smash game ever!), and I don't know where to start!
Sooo many game modes, sooo many characters and moves and items, I'm just bashing the buttons and wonder what's going on.

Is there some tutorial mode? Or beginner's campaign or something? Or should I really go through the manual first?

 

[AGoodODST]

Falling asleep in work today after staying up all night playing Smash. Too addictive. Surprised by how much I am enjoying the single player content, particularly Master/Crazy Orders and Events. Classic is great aswell, though I do wish there was a higher rate of 1v1 fights. All Star mode is underwhelming for this same reason.

Surprisingly had quite a bit of success with Shulk online, considering I've not played Smash in ages and never touched Brawl online.

Love playing as Mega Man but I am terrible as him.

 

[random25]

Anybody up for some matches? NNID is my username.

There's a How to Play video in "Games and More > Vault > Movies"

That should explain a decent amount of it.

There seems to be a new wave of Shulk players on the WiiU version. I see them much more often than on the 3DS For Glory.

 

[batbeg]

Getting beat more often than not in For Glory but I love playing 5-10 matches with someone when we're close in skill.

 

[Zing]

I dunno, I remember him being picked extremely often in 3DS.

Should people start mentioning that they are in Europe now when asking for a match? Or is the latency across the Atlantic not an issue here?

 

[Dimitri LH]

There's another Event I'm having a ton of trouble getting the reward in, but I can't remember the specifics of it. It's on Bridge of Eldin, and I think you're playing as Zelda + Sheik against Samus + Zero Suit Samus... or the other way around. Ether way, you have to beat it on Hard in like 45 seconds or something to get the reward, and I'm like WHAT HOW.

Oh that one....had problems with that one since im mediocre with shiek. Found out after a few matches that you get zelda if you lose the first stock. Kicked ass afterwards.

Well, Xenoblade Chronicles was a normal Release-Title here. We actually know, who this guy is ;P

2 hours left of work. They're going to go so slow. The game and gamecube adapter arrived 20 minutes after I arrived into work.The last 6 hours have dragged so much.

 

[Cedric]

Yea maybe, but it seems at least in my experience every third player in For Glory is a Shulk. Short hop nairs for everyone!

True, true.

 

[Skyfireblaze]

Say is there a spreadsheet with all SmashGAF NNID's?

Yea for sure! Been busy with university so I haven't played anyone on GAF yet, I'll definitely get to that this weekend.

 

[Out_Of_Ammo]

GGs man, but I'm taking a break now. You're good!

 

[DodgeDusk]

GGs man, but I'm taking a break now. You're good!

Thanks. I don't fight many Dededes, so I wasn't too sure what to do against yours. GGs!

 

[J@hranimo]

Congrats to EuropeGAF for Smash Wii U finally coming out!

I'll be on later today to play with some of SmashGAF. I've been too busy lately to even ask for 1v1s here until today >_<

 

[Out_Of_Ammo]

Thanks. I don't fight many Dedede's, so I wasn't too sure what to do against yours. GGs!

I usually don't play him but I want to learn him. Tried him out yesterday and love the way he plays. I still need to get used to his slow moves

Fair enough. That's the thing with this game: most of the cast are fun to use; it's hard to stick to a small group of characters

 

[havaska]

This game has the best soundtrack of any other ever. Granted, it basically nicks music from other games but it combines them all together in one place with lots of lovely remixes.

I've just been playing with the Sound Test feature and there are 323 different tracks. THREE HUNDRED AND TWENTY THREE!

 

[Monster Zero]

Anyone else down for 1v1

Nnid: KingGhidra

 

[Zing]

Anyone wants to play some 1vs1 or FFA?

Anyone up for 2v2s NNiD is Scaggsalicious

Adding you both. I'll add anyone else who is interested in FFA or teams.

My NNID is dcorban. I'll be playing frequently this weekend and my internet is flawless.

Edit: don't know ammo's NNID. Heh.

There's still more to unlock

 

[SupaNaab]

FYI: Alternate colour sources

I honestly thought Charizards were random. Neato.

 

[random25]

Sure, KingGhidra if you still on

Sorry I read this late. Thought nobody took my offer

I'll add you if you don't mind so we can have matches in the future.

 

[balladofwindfishes]

FYI: Alternate colour sources

I honestly thought Charizards were random. Neato.

I think only two of those are intentional references (GS Shiny and Charmeleon) the rest seem to be stretching a tad, although the Aerodactyl one might also be an intended reference given how strongly white Charizard actually looks like Aerodactyl (with arms).

And no Black Charizard


That page also says Bowser's Blue color is based on some artwork and/or a spiny shell, but the actual game itself says it's based on the false Bowser's from the last worlds of Mario Bros: The Lost Levels.

It's Za_Warud0 (with a zero). I'll add it to the spreadsheet.

 

[Soulflarz]

I mean, we know marths/lucinas arent really random colors

 

[Son Of D]

Sorry to ask, but do we have a list of unlock conditions for the characters?

 

[Soulflarz]

Lazy way is 100 vs matches where you commit suicide. Set it for 1 stock. Takes a little.

 

[sheepishlord]

Anyone know what time Amazon UK stop delivering? It was dispatched yesterday but it didn't come with the post and they've stopped the tracking of packages for some reason.

 

[suavelicious]

amazon.de why are you failing me??!?

 

[Skyfireblaze]

Ooops I'm blind Thanks

 

[uncleniccius]

So people with the adapter bundle, was it normal post or not?

 

[InvincibleAgent]

By starring in a new game for the first time in a decade.

Gimme Ganondorf game!

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

Bottom left, purple button

Suck stuff up, doesnt it heal you more?

Whoa. Guess I already knew that from the PotD... :/

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.

Congrats!

Hi guys! So, I'm a complete Smash noob but I just couldn't resist the insane amount of content and fanservice. Any suggestions on good characters/characters to avoid?

Also, I've got my download code from Game.co.uk but I still can't redeem it. I get a message saying it's a DL code for a game that isn't out yet... probably should have preordered through the eShop, at least I'd be playing it today, as opposed to whenever the 17gb download finishes.

Some good characters for beginners are Kirby (To learn recovery), Link (To learn items and throwing of items), Mario (To learn grabs) and Captain Falcon (To learn A-attacks). In that order.

My friend did this:


I love my friend.

Your friend is talented.

Ganondorf is such a frustrating character. So many of his moves are godlike (Uair, Fair, Bair, Dtilt), but his mobility makes him a total pain to play. I used to main him...now I'm all about his esteemed son Captain Falcon. Though a part of me still longs for the 'Dorf.

Yeah... I've been digging Falcon more this game... And in Brawl.

Hey GAF,

I just received my LAN adapter, and I'm having some problems. When I go to play an online game (1 on 1 For Glory), everything runs smooth as butter, EXCEPT for that every 15 seconds or so, everything stops for about a second and a half. It's like someone walking up and pressing pause every 15 seconds.

Here's some things I've tried to fix it:
- Ensured I am using wired (deleted wifi connections)
- Restarted router
- Restarted Wii U
- Connected with multiple randoms, and not just one person. Happens EVERY game

Any advice would be amazing. Any settings I can tweak or anything?

My advice would be to mess around with UPnP, Application Forwarding, QoS and/or port-forwarding. I had success with the first two. Find them in the control panel for your router.

 

[Soulflarz]

Whoa. Guess I already knew that from the PotD... :/

I only know it from watching someone do the event >.>

 

[Karsticles]

Anyone have videos of a great Zelda player?

 

[ExReey]

There's a How to Play video in "Games and More > Vault > Movies"

That should explain a decent amount of it.

That's a start, thanks.
How do you do a Final Smash? And can you do anything else with those trophies besides collecting (is there a complete list somewhere) ?

 

[Zing]

Wow, I suck at home run. It's due to how jittery the characters move. I try to just move a little bit to get closer to the sandbag and I'm dashing all over the place. It's as though the dead zone on the controller is a micrometer. Anything beyond that and I sprint.

 

[UpDownLeftRight]

Is there a way I can turn off the gamepad screen while playing on GC controllers? I can't back out of that menu without having to wake the gamepad again.

 

[Saiyan-Rox]

So got this today (£50 in GAME....I feel dirty) along with a Wii U pro controller. Love the controller on this the gamepad just felt weird

have to say tho WTF is the point of the gamepad switching on when your using a pro controller? why display all that when i'm obviously using another controller *bangshead*

Use a Wii Remote.
