I know this was posted at least once in this thread:

Is there any "new player" thing you can reference to in terms of learning how combos work and what is possible with the movement.
I litterally feel like learning too much new stuff by accident (Ganondorfs special can be turned around if you move the stick into that direction right after starting the attack etc.)

Thanks GAF :3

I don't know about new players specifically, but I've been watching this series of videos (just posted within the last 24 hours) and have gotten a lot of good info out of them. I'm not new (having played Smash 64 and Brawl), but have very little knowledge of fighting games in general and have never really played Smash at more than low-mid-level.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d30uy9hR4vw (characters)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ny3Cj_5yVmE (more characters)

Note, these guys are advanced players and a few of the things they mention are over my head, but for the most part I found it pretty easy to follow. The character-specific stuff in the last 2 videos will be really nice for learning how to play your fighters of choice.

Hey good idea! I'm doing it right now with my 3 amiibos, Kongy Donk, Peachipie, and Mare E O. What a great way to get through life and be productive in your Smash output!

Edit: I hear Mew so I just look over and watch him drop a CD only for all the Amiibos to pass it up... Good job Maverick... ;)

Edit again! Happened twice! CD's disappear so quick!

I think you have to teach them to pick up the items, I guess. It happened to me too but it don't matter now since I already have all wild CDs right now.

Only last two CDs were locked behind the challenges.

By train them you mean play with them on the same settings and grab the CD's myself so they start picking them up more?
 
What is the best method to get into this game? I played a round of smash on easy mode (2.0) and realized that I'm terrible...also I played as Ness.

The last time I played Smash was ages ago on my friend's N64.
 
Hey all, long time lurker that has finally received posting rights at last! Anyways I thought I would put my Nintendo ID out there if anyone is looking to play for fun or scrimmage.

Yeah. I guess it should work since they would learn something from you.

Welcome to SmashGAF :D
 
For a while I was raging "why this damn Wii U does not recognize my SD card? It even asked me to format it!"

...

Yeah, I was using it on the wrong entrance, completely forgot that the Wii U had a dedicated SD slot.
 
Well I finally caved and ordered an adapter for $75. Not too bad, but still miffed that I couldn't just grab it on release morning anywhere. Ah well, glorious cube controller goodness heading my way.
 
Hello there ! Long (really) long time french lurker here, just realized that I got my posting right at least several days ago ! Just in time for the official end of the Potd !
Well, I look forward settling thing in Smash with the lot of you !
 
Ok still need to learn all the basics but feel free to add me.
Maybe there are other shitty players here, who'd like to win once in a while! :D

If this demand for GC controllers tells Nintendo anything, it's that this is the method of control people want to use to play these games.

This adapter better be forwards compatible. Forever.
 
Left? Sorry about the lag, before playing you I was doing a For Glory and it was working perfect

Edit: no its not common actually

You try making the room then

Yup, now that consoles have USB ports and probably always will, there's no reason this adapter can't work in all future systems, outside of them having an agenda to make money off new controller purchases.

Maybe it's me, though I have a wired connection now let me see a few things. But even with Wifi that usually never happened. Where do you live? I'm in the US, California.
 
I miss the actual Gaur Plains music from Smash for 3DS. The Xenoblade compilation remix is great, and all, but the Smash level is so close to the original that it feels wrong to play it without the original track. The original GP track fits Smash really well, too.

....the same track that's also in the Wii U version?

Did I miss it? Just got the game last week and I've played that level 5 times. I've only heard the main battle theme called "You Will Know Our Names" (which is also in Smash 3DS) and a remix of different Xenoblade songs. Are there more besides those two?

Related, I like how Metal Face comes and wrecks half the level in the Wii U version. The 3DS version seems bland by comparison.

There are a few Xenoblade songs. The original Gaur Plains is in, and so is the night-time version of it. Before selecting the level, press the Y-button to select how often you want to hear the songs!

If it's not better I will just need to reset the router or what have you. At that point I going to need to leave anyway.

Coming now.

Wow, I never realized how useful amiibo are for farming, well... everything until I just started putting them to work farming CDs for me.

I've got Paisano (Mario), Denver (Yoshi), My Boy! (Link), Kirbz (Kirby), and SpaceFurry (Fox) doing repeated 99-Stock matches with Master Balls set to high (for Mew, who drops CDs), and it's great. After one match they had gotten me:

- 9 CDs
- Around 7,000 Gold
- 4 Mii Fighter hats
- Around 10 custom specials
- A bunch of equipment

I'm probably nabbing a Pikachu amiibo tomorrow too, so I'll put it to work right quick as well. :3

Yep, I'll be doing this quite a bit to farm stuff easily when I'm doing work/other stuff. Really glad there's a fairly reliable way to farm CDs that doesn't involve Crazy Orders...

Do you have to use Amiibos for this method?
 
stage builder work

I still have some love for the bulls =D
 
Uuuumm.... how do I change the button configuration to my profile when trying to play modes such as Events where you don't go through the char. selection screen?
 
Guys, is there a soft/hard cap besides 200 on the amiibo's stats? I know that you have to make them fight after some time to feed them again, but if I keep battling, can I reach a 200/200/200 monster amiibo?
 
This game is awesome never been a fan of Nintendo franchises but this and MK8 are in my top 3 for GOTY. Quality.

Are all the characters easy to unlock e.g. play some matches then have a 1 on 1 battle with them.
 
Video Game Awards are tonight. Nintendo will have stuff there.

How cool would it be to have a new character trailer show up? I bet people wouldn't expect that.

Smash Bros. at VGA tonight best case scenario:
New character(s)! New stages! It's all going to be part of a free update!
Smash Bros. at VGA tonight worst case scenario:
"We have an exciting announcement for you today!" Screen goes black. The Smash Bros. trailer intro plays, everyone expects something awesome. But after the fire and heartbeat, we get reused footage.
"Smash Bros. for Wii U is out now! How exciting is that?"

Not likely but it be cool if it happened. The miiverse stage is kind of a new stage coming for free in a later update though lol.

If we got a smash trailer, it will probably be the Mewtwo one, he needs a proper presentation (I think the way it was revealed pretty cheap and rushed :/ ).

Anyway someone available for a 1on1 ?
 
I would fucking die if Mewtwo had a reveal trailer where he's having a psychic battle against Ness or something.

and just before ness is defeated LUCAS ROPES IN
