Yep land controls are pretty frustrating. Why no full CPP support?

Because you'd never survive anything higher than intensity 7 trying to spin the camera around that way ooooohhhh GOD THERE'S A JITTERTHUG BEHIND MEEEE!
Impressions:
Graphics are great.
I love Pit's voice. He's a cool character. The girl's voice stumbles at times however. I like their constant conversations.
Flying segments and ground segments are both fun, but the controls are weird. I hope I'll get used to them.
Tried online. It was shockingly smooth and fast, though I sucked at it. Not used to the controls at all.
Nice music.
I really like Sakurai's way of doing achievements (SSBB and this). I really hope Nintendo, if they ever decide to do achievements across all their games, implement it like this and Smash Bros.

Except for the one logic option that is.
But you're supposed to be able to do that by controlling the cross hair with with the A/B/X/Y-buttons? Why else is that control scheme supported?

I played for about 5 hours today. I was worried that me being left handed would make playing the game frustrating but I can actually use the default controls quite well. The default controls are uncomfortable so I ended up preferring the slide pad for movement and buttons for aiming (I cranked the turning speed up pretty high to compensate). I tried to use the buttons for movement and the slide pad for aiming but for some reason I can't physically do that. I guess the years of my left thumb controlling my characters made me this way. Everything started to click at around the
level. Pretty awesome game so far. I played a few rounds online, its chaotic as hell but I had fun.
Since everyone else is posting what cards they got I might as well do the same:
Pit
Palutena
Dark Pit
Insight Staff
Twinbellows the Ferocious
Mik
I also had the Power of Flight card from Game Informer.

Seriously though... Sakurai tweeted and one point that he only learned of the CPP very late in the game's development. I'm assuming it was just too late to incorporate it at a level up to his standards.
Or my other theory... He put ABXY control in the just to prove everyone right--that the stylus controls are godly and you don't deserve to survive past intensity 7 if you don't put the effort into mastering them.
Great 3D, though I kind of wish more stuff popped out at you.
I would not want to play this game with the 3D off.

Don't feel too bad! I was honestly spamming the wonderful laser and planting bombs.
Then I found my weapons for the moment, violet palm. That I got for getting inside the 5.0
door in the first chapter. Really, don't feel bad, I bet you unlocked like 15 things from all those battles too!

This game just blows me away.
Played a team match with a friend to get awesome wins!

Unless Nintendo are to blame and the devkit for ccp is damn near impossible to use it shouldn't take more than an hour of development time to allow us to use the second analog stick instead of ABXY.
Back to my first question: has any 3ds game been patched after release? Is it even possible to apply patches to retail games through eshop? I know there's DLC out for Theatrhythm now but that's probably just new data and not a patch for the actual game.
I want that kamehameha.
I don't know why I was doing so little damage, the cpu could kill me in 2-3hit but it took 10-20 to kill them.
Maybe I got used to the auto-aim from single player and I can't aim anymore

Was thinking about picking this game up and happened to just spot it at best buy here for only $30. 25% off on launch day is not something I can pass up. I'm glad I got it too, the game is a lot of fun. The banter is hilariously stupid as are all thhe crazy enemy designs. This game is the opposite of serious in tone.
The multiplayer is really good. Lag free thank god. I love the dynamic of Light vs Dark. In my last game I took the last hit and became Pit, and then lead my team to a crazy come from behind victory by just straight up CLEANING HOUSE on some fools. So much fun. This multiplayer mode scratches a particular itch just right for me.
Cards I got were:
Pit
Palutena
Magnus
Dark Lord Gaol
Stack jaw
EZ Cannon

This is because everything past Chapter 9 was under embargo until today.
Anyone try it in game, at least on a fairly large enemy?
I lower it not for framerate but to make it easier on my eyes. 3v3 battles are quite hectic and I can get a headache easily if lots of flashes keep coming in 3D.
I love how the "rooms" are set up. They're basically a party, and you'll always be with your party if you search for other random players to join.
I love how you can play the multiplayer with bots. And I love how you get stuff while you fight, too. Matches are a disorienting clusterfuck of pyrotechnics and sound effects all over the place--I wouldn't have it any other way. It really does feel like 3D Smash Bros.
My right hand (movement) is starting to hurt, but it's the same 3DS pain I get when the corner digs into my palm.

You have to be nearby, and you have to have the stylus on the touchscreen. There's no way to do this with the circle pad aiming option unless you use your left thumb to hold the touchscreen while you dash with the face buttons.
The only time I turn 3d off is if it isn't working, like I'd I ant play with it in the sweet spot, or if there is glare on the screen.
The 3-D in this game is awesome, everyone should play with it if you can.
The depth perception added is extremely useful in this game. It just makes since to play with it on.

You have to be firing at the enemy and then dodge. I think you have to be kind of close too.
I haven't tried intensity 7 or above, but you guys throw this argument around as if flicking the stylus across the screen was super accurate. You'd probably get more accurate results from a button that turned you 45 degrees or something.

I'm having more problem with dodging than aiming, especially in air sections. It would've been nice if I could assign dodge to a button like in Sin and Punishment.

My Club Nintendo cards better come tomorrow before I leave for college...
I guess I'll just ignore the game and scan the cards instead. It's least you're able to do that without pain.

Really? Did they price match? Nice.
Anyway, up to chapter 4 now. I played some of the MP and wasn't really feeling it initially, maybe Ill play more later, because I'm more addicted to the main game now.
I'll keep feeding hearts to Palutena... Hopefully there is a reward for it.

How?! they didn't for me... what did you say to them?
I told them it was unfair to be punished for preordering through them when I could just go into a retailer and get it day one for less.
Subtly implying you have better options elsewhere scares anyone into giving you money
i tried all the control schemes and hated them all.
played the first chapter 3x and it was amazing, looked amazing. just the controls are killing it for me everything else about this game oozes quality though.
god... hopefully it's just a big learning curve but i hate them atm.

I'm this close to ignoring my work and going out and buying this tomorrow. You all make this game sound so good and packed with content.
How's the difficulty?
