Why are there so many smash threads ; ;? I am excited for smash brothering in a week.
Fuck it, I think this is the right thread:
It's not a huge deal, but Nintendo needs to knock it the fuck off with these limited uses on their demos. It makes even less sense because only the peasant version has the limit. They know god damn well people are just going to leave their 3DS' plugged in and on Smash for the entire week, so what's the point?

Alright GAF. I just downloaded the demo and I've never owned a Smash Bros before. Gimmie some tips so I don't get my ass beat.
sadly, your scenario is not very far from what he did with the "every stage is FD" lol
The demo comes with a how to play video that explains the basics. Basically start off getting used to the controls.

Okay so are lvl 9's easier in this? I'm getting mixed answers but to me they seem easier compared to past versions.
These are the hardest level 9 cpu tho they're still stupid occasionally lol.
Seem about the same to me.
Spam ALL THE BUTTONS!
don't do this unless you're playing with me when the game is released

The AI seriously switches from being really easy to bait to always reading your every move in the demo at least lmao.
Worse at offense, better at defense.

Michelangelo painted the Sistine Chapel. Yabuki turned off voice chat in Mario Kart races. True artists of their time.
Focus on A attacks instead of specials (B button). You don't want to be like Hamayama. Use all your jumps before using your special up-B to recover.
It takes like 10 matches to get used to it. It felt terrible at first but it's like second nature to me now

It would be nice if Nintendo would put up a preorders price on the eshop

Where is it? I can't find it in the menu. Only tips.
Heh, I've been trying to find the controls but I don't know where they are.
Thanks! Will do.
Wii U version is still Smash 4 if we follow the conventions of every other fighting game.
Wait at the start screen and it will automatically load the "How to Play" video.
I know
Also I doubt that is a play on words, Nintendo really is that bad at naming things.

Controls are completely fine to me, only issue I have is the up tilt but everything else is very precise in my opinion.

What is VI?
I don't really understand it.
I don't really understand it.
gotta admit the controls kinda put me off the demo.

Am I the only one who thought the controls were actually better than they expected? Still nowhere near as nice as using a gamecube controller though, of course.
Ok guys I have a question, and be honest here:
How do you guys feel about Link in this game? Like compared to other Smash games? I personally think it's the best he's been but my friend hates how he is in this game and thinks he's the worst of all the Smash games' Links. I blamed it on him being spoiled by Project M Link but after playing with him a lot in the demo I feel he'll be good. Do you guys think he's better than Brawl Link or worse and, do you think he's the best version?

Is there a good overview for the controls menu?
Vector Influence (or Knockback Influence) is the term coined for a new mechanic where you can add "vectors" upon being hit (similar to DI, Directional Influence) which affect knockback value. What separates it from DI is that instead of just altering the angle you can literally affect the distance you travel upon knockback. While people were worried that it'd cripple combos, it's mostly showing it's effect in KO moves and vertical KO's have been hit by this pretty badly as a result of this discovery. There's a lot of concern that this mechanic exacerbates rounds that might already go on for too long.
It's still a very early discovery making it hard to say how much of an effect it will have and just how executable it is but some results have been cause for relative concern. Overall the lessened potency of vertical KO's seem to factor into Smash 4 having an overall larger focus on edge guarding and gimping compared to previous entries.

Anyone know how much super armor Ganondorf has on his Warlock Punch?
Hit X on the stage select to change the cursor and go into the final destination version of battlefield.
Press X for Final Destination mode.
This is so awesome to hear, thanks.
