I don't know if this is the correct thread... but does anyone know what the extra features for the Wii U game will be (if there are any)?
Like, 3DS has Smash Run, so what does Wii U get?

You'll be fine.
Any problem you could face in Smash is either going to be on the server/netcode side or on yours opponent's end.
With your current ping (32ms) you would miss around 2-3 frames which are somehow vital for a game like Smash where hits need to be almost pixel perfect.
Ping is a measurement of round-trip time, so you have to divide it by 2.
Smash probably uses P2P instead of servers.
Graccciiasss
I'll PM it to you
EDIT : Shit, I'm actually having trouble finding it myself. If Oric or someone that knows how to get to the Google doc is around, could you post it?

Now I just have to pray that the 3DS can handle the security settings at school. Nintendo systems have given me trouble with even basic security in the past.
Smash is P2P, no server issues here. Either Netcode or connection.

I doubt he'll actually be getting 32 ping to people <50 miles away with that type of connection anyways.
It's probably just the server because he should be getting significantly lower pings with the types of connection that can actually do such high speeds.

anyone who works at gamestop know when your store will be getting smash bros so I got a rough estimation when I can go to my place and see if I can get it early?

Do you have the demo? If so, go for Mario, though Brawl's introduction of the FLUDD might render him a little awkward.

Yeah, Mario is the best out of the starters, but Dr. Mario is overall the all-around fighter IMO.
If you live in Germany I'd recommend bugging your local GameStop each day from Monday-Wednesday. Worked wonderful for MK8, many stores broke street date on Monday or Tuesday and all stores were permitted to sell it Wednesday afternoon when release was officially Friday :3

I'm at work so I can't get th link, but isn't it in the OP?
Eww, if Smash 4 uses servers I'm probably never going to play online lol. Did Brawl use servers just for matchmaking? I thought they took down the servers for Brawl but people could still play PM online or something.
My philosophy with smash is pick a character you like and work from there, doesn't mean much from me since I've played Pikachu for 15 years but unless you want to jump right into competitive game-play just pick a character from a franchise you like.

All of them.
Seriously. Play classic mode with basically every character. Maybe a couple times since it's so short in this game. As you play you will find characters you like or don't, and that will give you a place to start. You might find yourself preferring faster characters, powerful characters, characters that are more proficient in the air, whatever. Then you can keep using them and practice with them.

KHlover pls, why are German stores so bad at this
and you people already get it a day early
Not sure how I feel about Robin so far. She/He is tricky to master, but the stun generated by the flame is really nice to combo into. Getting good with Robin comes down to getting good with the smash attacks. They're a bit slower than I'd like, but it makes sense considering how much damage they do. I'm excited to see what people come up with for Robin, but overall I was kind of underwhelmed.
Yea, Brawl had that wi-fi server and Project M uses it's own dedicated server. I'm not sure how it compares to brawl.

nah I live in nyc. you ask the clerks when the shipment arrives they refuse to answer you. the act as if its going to arrive at Oct 2nd @ 11:59pm.
I don't see it anywhere but I could be missing. BTW I hadn't really looked at this thread's OP, awesome job Heath and Xane.

I think Dr. Mario having some lag on his moves (compared to how SAFE Mario is) and some of the awkward properties he has on his moves (reverse NAir, meteor smash USmash on ground opponents, etc) makes him not a better character than Mario for this. Also having a really terrible recovery and lacking the combo game Mario has (Doc has always been more of a powerhouse instead) might turn off some.
It's not like the tornado is a good offensive move anyway. :V It's really just good for recovery, and that aspect got nerfed here.

Namco Bandai has some of the best net code programmers out there. There's no way they were stupid enough to not use P2P.
Still playing the demo and wondering why damn near every projectile Mega Man can dish out can just outright cancel out with the weirdest moves. I also lol every time I see the AI Link just straight up stand still and block the charged shot with the shield.

I was leaning over getting Smash in physical form, but now I completely changed my mind and will be getting it from the eShop since it can download and finish while I sleep. I'm so impatient.

It says Brooklyn and you're in Toronto right?Without packet loss measuring:

tell me about it, I won't even sleep until the download is done, and then I'll stay awake another hour playing it :'D
I was going to get it digitally for that very reason, but then I realized that if there's a midnight release nearby I can get it an hour earlier.

I don't trust my college connection, so physical it is.

It's mostly pills > fireballs and tornado > FLUDD.
Honestly I'd probably prefer Mario if I could swap in the tornado and go with the fast fire ball custom.

Same here, then again I also just don't trust the eshop
IntelliHeath
As in "Heathcliff"
It's real but they still kept all brawl leftover data so don't get your hype high yet.
If it uses P2P, then shit, I'm not complaining. It better mean no online removal for the foreseeable future.

If mine downloads fast before I get into deep sleep, I would play until it is morning.
My priorities will change since I will definitely be playing Smash while in school.
Yes. The server I used is in Brooklyn.
