Heath, read my spoiler-free LTTP here -- I have lots of tips to maximize enjoyment of the game. I'm currently lv. 60 in the game. Xenoblade Chronicles is EXCELLENT.

-If you skip sidequests and lots of exploring you can beat it in about 50 hours.
-Also you only need to be about level 78 to beat the final boss.
-Make sure to change your characters equipment about every 30 minutes from all the drops you get, with your active party getting priority.
-Buy books at any merchants to increase the levels of your skills. Don't worry about buying them all at once. You can come back at any time and do so.
-For enemies that resist physical attacks Melia and her ether attacks are very useful. Upgrading her bolt all the way is a good idea.
-Riki, Shulk, and Reyn make a good take team for a majority of battles. Especially if Riki and Shulk healing spells are upgraded.
-Riki, Melia, and Sharla make a good team as well for enemies you need to defeat with ether.
-Make sure to keep tabs on the skill tree and the skills you choose to select from others member. Early on I would say to prioritize anything dealing with XP. Will help in the long run.
-Make sure to go back to Colony 9 once in awhile to make gems. Having strength gems, ether gems, and numerous other ones that fits roles can help fill in level gaps.
I think that just about covers everything I was wondering about when I started.

Wait what is a UK publication doing posting US opinions on the demo (I hate this Americanization of things*). Target, Platinum member, at that point it should be obvious and pen-noted with a [This is America-Ed]. He should try being in Europe where it was seemingly random or there was an obscure criteria to fulfil. I'd say that is more annoying than the "you didn't tick the box you've never needed to tick" that NOA pulled because at least there you knew what you did "wrong".
Also the feature was posted so late that the demo is now out if you have an NNID (which is not a problem in America as US, Canada and Mexico all have identical content from what I can tell...). Must have been a crap week for readers features...
*-Yes the US spelling is ironic
Another example is Bayonetta 2 for how it messed up Amazon UK. They seriously thought every copy of the solos game came with 1 when in fact it was only the special edition. After customer services lies and too long stalling they did upgrade everyone who ordered when the description said includes 1 free of charge.

As for joke or controversial reviews. Happens from time. Apparently they gave Sonic 3 a bad review back in 1994 (in their Digitiser days).
You mean all the buttons but change movement to the D-pad (I know it sucks but that is my choice to make, not yours Sakurai!)

I buy cakes for myself on my birthday it's not weird lots of people do it I bet
Damn, why is the Balloon Fight remix so amazing?
Is the Balloon Fight stage even fun? I've seen like 0 footage of it outside the Direct.

Are you talking about this incredible medley? Balloon Fight is my favorite NES game, straight up, so this is aural heaven to me.
The stage itself looks great, too. Especially the Final Destination form -- the platform is an island elevated high above the water, so you still get the proper sense of place.

I get that, but they still published it
Guarantee this person will still buy Smash. Regardless, a one week exclusive demo that doesn't (inherently) require you to buy anything does not warrant nearly this level of hyperbole.

You can use the map to quick travel.
Occasionally somebody does not realize this until they're a good ways into the game, and their reaction when they find out is usually hilarious.

I said wow
My win rate just dropped 8%. At least now I know when all the hardcore players are online!

-don't do all the quests, unless you actually know what you're doing (aka looking at a guide, but why would you do that)
-skip travel, don't forget to use this
-stop using Shulk/Reyn/Sharla as soon as you can use someone else, it's the classic noob trap team (though you're not even at that point yet lol)
hell yeah
Just don't get too hung up on sidequests, and you should be fine. What I do is accept every sidequest I see and then ignore it. If I finish it passively, great, free exp. If not, well then whatever, no big deal.
Also be wary about fighting things more than 2 or 3 levels higher than you, especially early on. A single level makes a big difference in this game.

The fact that his identity is a spoiler is kind of a spoiler to me. Because of that, I'm pretty sure it's
the guy from the intro that isn't Dunban
IntelliHeath
As in "Heathcliff"
Got it! I'm very hopeful that I would able to finish Xenoblade before Smash 3DS came out. I'm doubtful that I would. I only have 10 and half days to go.
Haha, I hope so.
Thanks! I subbed it when I need the advices again!
Thanks! Hopefully I will keep it in my mind but I will copy and paste it in my note since the thread are moving at decent pace.
Yep, I have heard a lot of stories about quick travel. I was surprised that we can use quick travel at early in the game. I heard that some people didn't even find out until middle of the game or almost end of the game.
I see that the game might forced us to use other characters at the point of the game right? I don't think it would be problem for me since I love to use all characters since its my habit for all JRPG.
I bet that you are happy now
Yeah, my goal is completing the main story. I already learned my lesson. Borg just handed my ass over to me despite that we are at same level.

I'm watching a vid of Smash 64 and I really miss the crow reactions when you make it back to the stage from far away. I want those back.

I think the crowd still gasps when you manage to make a great return to the stage if that's what you mean.

Yeah, they just don't do it every single time like in 64.

They do? If it's still in there I barely hear it.
The crowd goes batshit insane when you make it back in 64 lol.

How much are you doing?
I got to 50 and didn't feel there was enough worthwhile content to play for 100 hours.

Man, just looked up some Yoshi footage and he is looking mighty fine. I used him a lot in Brawl, but he's seems pretty buffed this time around.

Its always been pretty random as far as I can recall.

There is a W/L ratio?
Maybe it's just me but I always felt that the crowd was a little more discerning in previous games.

Member
There is a W/L ratio?
in For Glory at least
I started playing this back on the Wii so basically I've played it in chucks with massive breaks in between. I last left the game just before

aMSa is using Yoshi in Smash 4 now and here's what he said:

Soooo I imagine we're going to get some good Yoshi footage at some point, presuming he records anything similarly to what he did with him vs Captain Jack when he was playing Greninja.

They returned Jigglypuff to former glory? Who gives a damm about newcomers!
I don't know, but I was playing the demo as Megaman and I used a charged side smash on Mario, he sent it back witb the cape, killed me and the crowd started cheeeing for Megaman. It was amazing.
I've posted this before, but here is some excellent Yoshi play (and Sonic!)

Awesome! Glad it doesn't seem to be a placebo effect from me wanting him to be good.
great job dispatching yourself
Sometimes the crowd chants for characters that aren't in the game. It makes sense that they have a greater affinity for the dead.

They seem oddly at ease with being there.

It's great isn't it? I have yet to say anyone who is an outright stink bag. So far it seems like everyone has a chance to truly shine at the moment. Of course even 6 months from now could paint a different story but I remember Brawl had some major red flags on day one with characters like Link, Zelda, and Captain Falcon.
Also even if infinite combos get found out making someone broken we already know they'll get patched out in no time!
As for the crowd chants how much would the internet explode if someone randomly stumbled upon a Mewtwo or Ridley chant?
If someone is going to knock me off the platforms it might as well be me!
Probably because it was difficult to make it back to the stage in 64 lol
Smash 4 the crowd is all "good for you... I guess"

Has anybody made a big fuss out of how the SSB64 results screen music is back and how SSB4's main theme seems derived from those notes?
Great Sonic vs. Diddy Kong set (includes FD forms of Wily's Castle and Pac-Maze)

Ahh ok that definitely makes sense for all of that.
My running through the game as well was mainly just in case smash spoiled anything.
