Damn, I hate all metal characters in classic mode, and WTF is metal R.O.B.? It's already made by metal!

Goddamn. Motherfucker was UGLY in Melee.
And yet there are still people to this day that insist that Wind Waker was a downgrade from the demo.

Apparently the battle with the secret character also counts as multiplayer match, but throwing the secret character match is probably no faster until all are unlocked is no faster. Though if you do that:
In Smash Bros when you hit multiple requirements usually the highest one has priority. Given the vs. matches I'd have thought Falco was low priority.

And Dark Pit can use his staff as his final smash! Everyone wins.
Yeah, that should ease up the wait. This weekend will go by quickly, though I'm not sure if HW will have much replay value beyond that.Hyrule Warriors friday, thats going to help with the smash wait

Everyone loses. Since the staff is a dark cop out version of the Light Arrow. And Ganny's custom is still a awkward Warlock Punch that gives slight range for less damage.
Adventure mode will take a while. Increase Adventure mode by x3 when all the DLC for it comes out.

I'm iffy on hw. I used to play dw years ago but the replay value wasn't that great.
Ganondorf never used his sword as a weapon in an actual Zelda game before Melee, but he does as the final boss in Twilight Princess (Which was a really awesome boss battle, btw) It makes sense for him to use it now.
I think Ganon would actually be an interesting character, not as a final smash transformation. Could be based off of ALTTP, instead of Twilight Princess'/Ocarina of Time's Ganon.

Actually, the organ would fit fairly well as a victory pose; especially if he were to get his own fanfare. Other characters pull out things ranging from bugs to Chrom and Doc Louis in their victory poses, so an organ shouldn't be that strange.
Metal ROB... Reminds me of that scene in Spinal Tap: "How much more black could this be? The answer is, none, none more black." Only in this case, "none more metal."no man, he is made of Nintendium.
so, metal ROB is a downgrade.

Infinite smart bomb ftw
I dunno, I just used item place menu to stack up 3 of the expanding bombs at the character's feet, threw a fourth over and watched the counter go from 0-103.
Nice to hear that there's a lot of stuff. For one, I just plain forgot about Adventure mode (that's the one with the LoZ1-looking grid map, right?). And I've just kinda assumed that the game will take 8-15 hours to go through the main campaign in co-op. I don't actually know a ton about it. I quit following it closely when it released in Japan, to avoid spoilers. The big gap has kinda dialed down the hype for me. Still really looking forward to it.
Lol I forgot the Melee challenger warning had him with a big ass sword. What the hell.
Sakurai's reasoning for DK, Diddy, Bowser and the like still sounding like animals is so sound. "It makes more sense."
Yet Bowser Jr. doesn't sound like an animal (I don't think, haven't heard him too clearly yet) and happens to be a new character too. Sakurai logic, how does it work?

I don't remember Bowser Jr. ever sounding like an animal in any other game; he always sounded like a whiny kid, so it makes sense to keep him that way in Smash. Those other characters, by contrast, have all sounded like animals in at least some of their games.
I imported, but I would have done so anyways as I only have JP 3DS'

Was playing for fun online and... there's a second form for balloon fight stage?! I must be late.
Yeah, Bowser's voice sounds pretty similar to his voice throughout the N64 era where it was mainly collections of growls and screeches, so those were the most recent games to draw from for Melee and it's just stuck with him ever since.
Bowser Jr.'s had the same voice since inception, so he gets that one instead.

The great thing about this whole series is that the controls are very simple. For the most part, you use one of the two attack buttons + a direction to do different moves. There's a button to jump, a button to block, and a button to grab. I think it's pretty intuitive!
Like with anything though, it will be very difficult if you're playing against other people who know what they're doing. Many of the game's modes shift focus away from direct competition, so don't worry too much if normal fighting game style duels aren't your thing.
The weirdest thing to me is the robot noises Samus still makes.
Hmmm Bowser did sound that way for a while, but only during the N64 days. And DK only sounded kind of similar to an actual ape in MK64 if I'm remembering all this correctly.
I guess Bowser Jr. kind of gets a pass, but it still doesn't make more sense in the slightest. It might've made sense in Brawl, but considering this game's aesthetic and especially Bowser's changes, it's a weird contrast.

...I'd actually prefer that she stays that way. :x
Depends on the execution. I think that ZSS sounds fine.
It's been so long I thought that Challenger Approaching screen from Melee was fake for a second. That sword really is a huge tease. Glad it's a custom option, but functionally, it's still a Falcon Punch.
And yeah, that kinda bugs me. I was excited when I heard the now-false information that Bowser would have his normal guttural laughs and everything; Bowser's not an animal, he's a pompous king with a lot of power behind him. The voice he has now is perfect. And similarly, I liked DK's old Grant Kirkhope voice too, and the character's evolved now to the point that it seems wrong to not at least give him his Scooby Doo voice from the newer games. If we do end up getting Dixie, I wonder how she'll sound. Diddy doesn't sound too bad himself (His voice sounds like his in-game voice), so I feel Dixie'll sound right, too.
He also mentions Dedede, so I guess that means we'll never get to hear him yell about clobberin' dat dere Kirby.
Calling a "Sakurai Bias" claim now.
The thing that bugs me most from that Famitsu interview was that they can't port from Melee. They at least have the groundwork for Mewtwo already laid out from Melee, and we got Dr. Mario back, too; he may have been the easiest clone, sharing a model, but it shouldn't be that hard to bring back Pichu or Roy, and Mewtwo's still a crucial character. Just make Young Link a Toon Link alt and give us back the Brawl cuts (I'd say Lucas would be the most important out of bias, but I'm still pissed the Ice Climbers are not in either game despite the Wii U running them without incident. But the others are important, too, especially the non-Pokemon ones, coming from a guy who casually played Ivysaur).

I think maybe the root of his agony is deeper than Smash Bros.
People read into stuff way too much. Everyone wants to play games early.
I didn't get one either because I didn't have that box ticked. Really stupid. Since I have the Japanese game, I would have shared my codes, too.
The 3DS version lets you swap the functions of the buttons so there's a 99.9% chance the Brawl control customization options are still there in the Wii U version.

Just because they're a fireball and an invincible anti-air doesn't make them similar. You can't just ignore the fact that he's a charge character when both his normals and his specials take that into account in their design either.
Between their joke of a Hyrule Warriors review and this "story", respect for Metro is in rapid decline

I only understand the outrage if the demo was exclusive to Club Nintendo members.
Otherwise, people were being pretty dumb.

OOT: Some people have been encouraged me to start playing XenoBlade, I would like to update on that notion. I just started playing the game and now I'm at Colony 9. Any pro-tips would be nice. I'm already aware of skill tree, arts, equipments and basic things.

There's really no tips needed because Xenoblade is extremely easy. Except that if you care about 100% every sidequest, then look up a guide because there are a few point-of-no-returns. This is my only annoyance with Xenoblade, because it works against the rest of the game being so free and one of the few RPGs you don't need to have a guide attached to your hip to enjoy. But none of the side-quests are that rewarding so no biggie.
Just explore everywhere, and you'll easily level up. And there's no penalty in dying, so just play at your own pace.
I hope you have a lot of free time. You are going to need it.
