Hey guys! Voice Chat for Smash is still something I'm super excited to get going.
So, Devo and I would love to do a test run beforehand just to make sure the server and all of the setting we have are up to snuff. We were thinking of getting as many GAFers as we can to test it out this Friday (though the date may change) by jumping on Mario Kart 8 and seeing how everything holds up. If you're available to to do this, please let me know! In addition to helping get things ready, playing Mario Kart with SmashGAF should prove to be quite fun. It would most likely be around 7:00-7:30 PM PST, but still let me know what times work best for you so that we can change it if necessary.
As I mentioned before, servers for voice chat won't be available until a week after launch the US launch. "But Oric," you cry with worrisome tones, "what if I want quick communication options before then?" Well lucky for you, there's a great text based IRC chat already in place for this thread. I encourage people to use this if they have no interest in using voice chat or when playing with people who can't/don't want to speak online. We won't have text features on our TeamSpeak server, so this'll be the place to go for that. Here's the info for that:
Server: irc.rizon.net
Channel: #SmashGAF
Mibbit Link to Chat
Anyway, let me know if you can help this Friday. Looking forward to when we have everything rolling!
Mark me down as a tentative yes. Sounds fun!

I'm honestly no expert on the differences between the two, but we went back and forth for a bit and just settled on TeamSpeak. I think it had something to do with making private rooms, but I'm not sure.
Marked!Mark me down as a tentative yes. Sounds fun!
Definitely. :/
How's Ike doing these days, guys? I saw some footage and he seems pretty good as usual.
You can set up your own private server for free with Mumble and the voice codec is a higher quality. ^^
Oh, I have the XL btw. Awesome. I have big hands, so I dont think it would be a problem. Thanks for the tip, man.Thanks!

Interesting. Either way, we have everything already set up for TeamSpeak, but if we actually get a consistent VC community going, I'm down to discuss changing it. For now, let's stick to TeamSpeak. I'm all ears for the Pros/Cons of both for future reference, though!
Just replace taunting with crouching or doing one move
until you get banned
If mumble has text, then it would be better. Personally, not interested in any voice chat due to the bandwidth. I want to have the best possible connection when playing online.
It became common in the later years of Brawl's online. I would just attack one of them and then they would all gang up on me lol.
It's in the full game as well. I imagine the New 3DS would be able to handle it better. There have been people saying that they've had better stability with online compared to local play.
Do it with friends as well online.

Sweet! Will be cool a cool way to test using IRC and TS together. Can you make private chats in the IRC with more than 2 people?Count me in
The Toon Zeldas have always been the best incarnations in terms of character, even if they're not as memorable as Goddess Zelda, Sheik and TP Zelda from a design perspective. If only they had kept this design from the initial concepts...
I should have the change.org petition to make SSB4 Wii U a rhythm game up by tomorrow.

I'm not really a Skyward Sword fan, but I totally agree. I'm really surprised she wasn't at least an alt skin.

I've actually been playing a lot of Mario Kart 7 recently, I guess it's just to tide me over for online play, until Smash 4. I don't have a Wii U so I can't join in on Mario Kart 8, though. Have fun, anyways!

Toon Zelda is pretty rad.
What the fuck?, is that a glitch or intended? I cant.

He has all damage buffs on, so if you can hit him he'll be KO'd easily. Plus dodging the arrows seems easy enough.
They're all pretty similar. I think the broken analog stuff is mostly being exaggerated anyway.
For a while there he was hosting weekly Smash-fests that I would go to sometimes. I got JV 5 stocked by him one time, lol. He's super nice/helpful though, really willing to explain what's going on, what you should be doing differently, etc (and great at articulating it too).I see, how often did he destroy you in Melee

ok cool, guess i'll get an xl for the bigger screen.
They all have similar pads, honestly, as mentioned, the broken pad thing is probably blown outta proportion, just be careful and don't mash your system all over the place.

Depends on where you live. When I lived in Alabama, there wasn't anywhere that would break the date. In LA for the Mario Kart 8 launch, I easily found a copy two days early. So...I'm keeping a lookout starting next Monday.

New York and Cali seem to be the only states where broken street dates are a common thing. Anywhere else seems to have really low chances.
As someone who's playing on the original 3DS and has constant issues with slippery buttons and grip, I'd recommend an XL. I've come frighteningly close to upgrading just for two months of slightly more comfortable Smash.

Haha, can't argue with either of those! Though, I at least lived in Birmingham, so there was a decent population size.

How fortunate, you escaped this state. Someday, I will manage it as well. Hopefully. Maybe.
Custom move (not that bad on its own, does 20% damage and lots of knockback, but it has to be fully charged or it's a dud) + tons of attack value from equipment (which are broken!).
Custom moves = perfectly fine, imo, but equipment can be super broken and won't be used outside of playing w/ friends for fun and single player. It's the equivalent of having items on, as far as balance goes.
What's the difference between specials and equipment?

I actually like the South quite a bit; I have constant cravings for BBQ and sweet tea out here. But, if you're wanting to be a director/screenwriter...yeah, not the best spot.
You're welcome. It's the one Steve Youngblood linked:
I think the price has been going steadily up since I ordered it, presumably thanks to Smash popularity.
*edit* Some newer reviews mention the plastic holding the unit in place breaking. I haven't had it long enough to know, but I would at minimum suggest against taking the 3DS XL in and out a lot. Just take the stylus out, then leave it in its grip all the time.At least a day, I've preordered it and normally when I preorder games, I'll get them one day before release, two if I'm lucky. Maybe, I'll be lucky,
I hope so

That SSB4 remix is amazing. I don't think I can not choose it.
Mute City is such a good song though and all of those are awesome.
Cheating! I'm not sure I can choose between the GX and SSB4 Mute City.
How did I know you had an ex-alabamian vibe about you. I'm stuck in Huntsville and you're right. No street dates ever get broken around here.. : (

You don't have to slam with the force of Odin on your slide pad in order to perform a smash attack. It's not the system's fault.
I have an OG 3DS and the only reason the slide pad came off is because my toddler tried to eat it.
