MK's up air is still fast but has a LOT of cool down. So you can't do rapid up airs anymore like you could in Brawl. I'd say in the time you could do 3 up airs in Brawl, you can only do 2 in Smash 4.

Down Smash is nerfed considerably. Hitting from the back or front sent my opponent flying at 100%+, not even close to killing. Most of my killing has come from down air gimps, f smashes, and the second hit of his up b.

Captain Falcon's knee has SO MUCH LANDING LAG. I've yet to sweet spot it. However, his back air is very strong. I've been killing in the mid 80%'s with it.

 

[daxgame]

guys, sorry if posted but has someone detailed For Glory mode?

I only heard it's 5 mins 2 stock.
I guess stages are random, FD forms? Anything else?

 

[Forkball]

My bottom screen is stuck on connecting when I try to get online and I get error messages.

1on1 is 2 stock, 5 minutes, no items with a random FD form stage.
2on2 is 2 minutes Time mode, no items with a random FD form stage.

I'm done with the online for now, it's less laggier than I remember Brawl being and this is whilst having to use JP servers, when it's released world wide it should be fine.



Massively salty about the Ness nerfs, what the hell was the justification for those?

 

[Anth0ny]

I finally hit a knee on DDD.

It's not fucking good. Barely any knock back. Doesn't seem fair considering how hard it is to sweet spot.

Back air is better in every scenario.

If the netcode is still bad I don't know what to think about the Wii U version, will it share the same code?

 

[Zane]

What rules does for glory use and how's the netcode?

Edit: answered above. Still want more online impressions tho

 

[The Technomancer]

Wait, are Male Wii Fit Trainer and Female Villager different characters, unlocks and all? Or just different skin options?

 

[Mysterious]

You could say 3DS is homologous to 64 (both released fairly late). Wii U is still in its second year, that's pretty early. Brawl was released around then.

Brawl released ~9 months earlier than Wii U Smash.

If JP gets it November, then that's 11 months earlier.

Smash released on N64 when the platform was 2.5 years old, whereas 3DS is 3.5 years old at this point.

GO UNLOCK CUSTOM MOVES PEOPLE

That's amazing. I think I know what I'm going to do with customized Ganondorf

 

[Toxi]

What rules does for glory use and how's the netcode?

Two stock, five minutes, 1vs1, no items, final destination variants of stages.

Wait, are Male Wii Fit Trainer and Female Villager different characters, unlocks and all? Or just different skin options?

Just different costumes.

Just different skins but i think they have separate trophies. Wii Fit has several trophies with the trainers doing various exercises

HOLY SHIT Falco has start up on his down air like CRAZY

 

[Zane]

HOLY SHIT Falco has start up on his down air like CRAZY

God dammit

 

[Kouichi]

HOLY SHIT Falco has start up on his down air like CRAZY

Yeah callmsJackz said so earlier. More Falco impressions would be greatly appreciated!

 

[Anth0ny]

RIP Short Hop Lasering

Both Fox and Falco land after a laser, smoke a cigarette, then slowly put their gun away

 

[PadWarrior]

How's online? Any pit or greninja impressions?

 

[Zalman]

How easy is it to set up a customized moveset? Say I'm playing with some friends, how quickly would we be able to do this? Is it a separate menu?

 

[callmeJackz]

OMG that Melee Final Destination remix track sooooooo good

 

[ec0ec0]

Anth0ny with ALL the bad news... RIP

 

[Koppai]

I am assuming the game doesn't have English voices like other games?

 

[OmegaSmash]

We've know that they took out auto canceling projectiles since E3. I really don't understand why though.

 

[Forkball]

Just did three online matches. All as LUIGI and FOR FUN.

First one looked like it was at 30 fps with about two or three pauses where the Smash loading logo popped up.

Second match was almost flawless and I got a flaming uppercut on Ike (get rekt). I lost in sudden death to Mario

Third match was the same as the second. Online isn't inheriently broken, I guess it depends on who you pair with.

You can do it from the character select screen with customisation turned on, which means it's good.

Okay, just checking since I saw them both on the roster image and I know the Olimar alt is his own character

That sounds promising.

 

[Nanashrew]

You may not be able to post screenshots in Smash to Miiverse but you can get them off the SD card. http://twitter.com/VOOK64/status/510454588764213248/photo/1

https://twitter.com/VOOK64/status/510454588764213248

It's something.

 

[Zane]

Does online MP with friends allow you to turn off custom move sets? I really don't ever wanna touch that shit

 

[Jacobs]

Charizard plays really great, maybe a new main.

Good enough for me!

 

[callmeJackz]

I'm assuming these are custom moves? I keep picking these up in VS mode occasionally.

 

[Formless]

Gimr isn't having problems kneeing

 

[Durden77]

Oh god falcon yes.

Return to me.

 

[A Pretty Panda]

Remix of smash 64 char select that playing during win screen is nice

 

[FSLink]

So with Robin, it seems if you smash attack on the ground, Levin Sword gets equipped and gets equipped to his/her aerial moves, I don't think "smash attacks in the air" is accurate.

Got Ness after 1 VS match, but it might be because I already unlocked Falco through Classic mode.

 

[Zalman]

You can do it from the character select screen with customisation turned on, which means it's good.

That's cool, doesn't sound like it'll be too much of a hassle then.

For anyone giving online impressions: Can you please mention if you're in or out of Japan? I think that can be a big factor for some people.

Thanks. Online is a big deal for me.

I think so, yep.

Is uair faster or slower than PM? Dsmash still pretty fast/safe?

 

[Diprosalic]

Lag is disappointing, this is going to be Brawl online 2.0.

it's a shame but anybody who expected different doesn't know what's up.

 

[Hypemaster]

Wait...they nerfed Ness? From the footage I saw his pk thunder by itself got buffed.

 

[daxgame]

Gimr isn't having problems kneeing

the knockback is lame tho.

 

[Oldschoolgamer]

Some of the shit that GimR is doing is getting me hype.

 

[JoeInky]

His PK thunder got buffed in knockback, everything else is a downgrade from an already bad character.

 

[munchie64]

That (not very good, but very dedicated) player was doing solid with Ness right?

 

[Anth0ny]

I don't play PM enough to say. Down smash is still fast, just the power is nerfed it seems.

SHEIK IS SO FAST, SO STRONG, NO LAG ON MOVES. Why can't everyone be like her

 

[Hypemaster]

His PK thunder got buffed in knockback, everything else is a downgrade from an already bad character.

I'm disappointed. Haven't been able to main Ness since 64, thought this game would be the one to deliver.

 

[KittenMaster]

Are there any streams playing the online mode?
