Do you have to start from the very beginning of Grand Prix if you die? I hate that I have to do it to unlock ranked. I just wanna play online. :/

Nonetheless, really hyped! Only 90 more minutes until the eShop launch!

I am a horrible person. I am going digital on this because it's a small file and I am ordering extra joy cons that won't be here till next week, so I am going to get SO much better than my roommates before they arrive and I reveal that we can play local mp.

I am already way better than them because I own the only Switch in the house, and I refuse to commit the single joy con control method to muscle memory. NOPE.

Did the same. Might not be able to play till tomorrow. On the plus side, the digital version was cheaper than here in the US.

I don't know what to do first when I start the game.

On the one hand I want to practice a bit and try out the characters that weren't in the testpunch.
On the other, I just want to play with gaf and learn later 🙃


Edit: I didn't even think about what arms will be available from the start....

Well if it goes through next time you want a game from Amazon JP it will be instant.

This was the odd thing for me. I already bought two previous Nintendo cards from Amazon JP back in April. I don't remember the pending verification taking this long, but whatever..

How do you aim your ultimate punches at a dashing target?

I just fought a bunch of rounds with a guy who dodged every single time I popped it. I was careful to only pop it when he was in air or had a punch out too. No matter what, he just repeatedly dodged to the left and never got it. I tried the same against him and got nailed every time. WTF?

Looks like I'm going to be playing this for the first time tomorrow in portable mode. Will be out tomorrow but will be getting my mail first.

Fake it out(throw/punch and before it hits the enemy use rush which instantly cancels the throw/punches leaving him open) or use it when he/she is out of position to punish.

Right but how could the other guy just dodge in a single direction and avoid every hit but could nail me with his when I did the same? I was mashing dash like a motherfucker, it's not that I wasn't fast enough. What was he doing differently, some advanced movement technique? Wave dash? lol

Seems a lot of the game is based around timing. He was getting his times right.

Holy shit Nintendo actually put this up on the eshop at midnight? I'm impressed. Hope this is the norm for all future Switch releases.

1. It's not up yet. It's up at 12 AM on the 16th in the US.
2. They always put their games up for release at midnight. Starting from the 3DS and the entirety of the life of the Wii U

Not really. There are a series of training scenarios that you can practice against AI (dodging, countering, etc.) but no normal training mode that you'd expect from a fighting game. I can't set an AI dummy to just repeatedly throw out a certain move and practice reacting to it.

Seems like having to beat a single player mode to play ranked was a shitty decision.

It's definitely frustrating. It has the side effect of making sure everybody playing ranked is at least competent... which is also frustrating. There's no difficulty ramp up here. No training wheels. It's sweaty from the start.

Versus mode. 1v1. Infinite time, infinite health, infinite rush. You can tell the AI to do just about anything. You're welcome.
