Smash can't do more do my Circle Pad than Street Fighter IV did to my d-pad. Goddamn. Was not built for quarter circles.

A fellow Huntsvillian? We're just bringing out all the (ex-)Alabamian Smashers today.
(Of course if someone says they are from Alabama Huntsville is one of four likely places they would be from so that's not too surprising).
Haha, that's crazy! Maybe my southern hospitality just shines through.
You took mine with you. I'm like the least southern person that has never lived outside the south. Beyond enjoying college football I can't think of a single stereotype I'd fit.

Mostly lurk smashgaf but honestly never guessed anybody here would be from down south (huntsville here)
SSB4's one wins for me, none of the others even come close to that song! First time I listened to it, as well!
Yeah, I'm of the mind that Birmingham is the only other city of any value in the state. But then again, I grew up in Cullman so maybe I'm a bit biased.

Just glad to know some GAFers will understand where I'm coming from when I say I sometimes actually have dreams about eating at Milo's.
Seriously, I need that in my life again.
Haha, sorry this thread has become a Southern Reunion thread.
Excellent, thanks.

Because they want to win. Same reason they used to do it before cash prizes were a thing. Not even a pat on the back is needed.
I love that place, but I'm not a fan of sweet tea so everyone gives me weird looks while holding their gallons of tea when I eat there. lol
And don't worry, I take full responsibility for bringing out Bama-smash-GAF....Some stones should be left unturned lol.
Custom moves/specials are 8 additional moves per character, as joeinky and I have been showing off.
Equipment are stat-boosting gear that you can equip onto a character (up to 3). That increase offense, defense, or speed, and also have BONUS abilities, like starting the round with an item equipped (start with starman, or blaster!), or having auto-healing (recover 2% hp every 3 seconds!).
Attack up reduces defense.
Defense up reduces speed.
Speed up reduces offense.
Some pieces of equipment are inherently better than others. You can have some with +25 attack, -15 defense, while others are +25 attack, -8 defense. You can also have ones that have a -0 to the other stat, so it's just 'make you stronger', and that's it, no drawbacks.
Equipment is about as balanced as items are. Custom moves, on the other hand, are pretty good so far.
You can do anything online with friends. Custom moves and equipment can not be used 'with anyone.'
Playing online with friends is the same as playing locally with friends (with added latency, of course!)
Thanks for telling me that!
Just realised the game has an 8-Bit remix of the main theme in it, and 93 songs total, I believe.

You guys should make an AlabamaGAF Thread in Off-Topic with that many guys here

I have a room ready that aren't used by anyone. It's #mariokartgaf
So we can use it this Friday.
Tell me about it. I missed Northern Pizzas. Pizzas here suck hardcore.

Oh, not all pieces of equipment have bonus abilities, by the way! But they all have '+ one stat, - another', in that attack/defense/speed triangle, but sometimes the - is zero. I also have a few where the + is 0, so the piece of equipment literally does nothing but make you worse! (it may have had a bonus associated with it, but I can't read japanese!)

Just to confirm Smash will cost $39.99 plus tax right. Just want to make sure cause I'm going to put 43 bucks on my eshop account for when it comes out next Friday.
Holy crap. Is this a new thing?
Thanks a bunch!
Only a matter of time before Amazon UK takes my money and begins prepping dispatch...

Alright, all you Southerners, I have a question: would you call Maryland a Southern state? Because we Marylanders can't make up our minds. Sometimes we're a Southern state, sometimes Northern, sometimes Mid-Atlantic, sometimes a "border state"...it's a mess.
You can just tell eshop to 'pay remaining' so you're not left with change you can't use. Unless you've figured out a magic way to put 3 dollars onto an eshop account that I don't know about. Afaik, it's just 5 dollar increments.

On second thoughts, in going to buy two hard copies since I can get 16ish dollars off So about 64 dollars.
Yes, it's a new thing in Smash 4.
I would consider Virginia and up to be northern, while NC and down are southern. That's the way I've always seen in done in terms of Smash at least. And I assume that's based on some typical region separation. (That's how I've seen it setup for the regional sections on Smashboards, and the split normally used for crew battles.)

Southern state? Really? I guess it's in it's own category.
Well since you're beneath the Mason Dixon Line, technically Maryland is a "southern state". I know a bunch of southerners in Alabama that would call it northern, but that's just relative to them. I have a friend from columbia who calls me a "northerner" all the time, lol. We're all southern to Canadians.

Anyone that adds me from the friend code list please PM me so I can add you back! I would love to have lots of people to play with when this releases and I don't have many friends with 3DS's (almost all are holding out for Wii U version)

Before cash prizes were a thing tournaments were tiny niche events that few people cared for. If you want the skill level to rise and people to become better and better at the game incentive needs to be offered to they can dedicated more time to it. That incentive is created by having a game that's fun to watch and draws sponsors and an audience which generate revenue to create said prize pool.
If you want a scene to grow out of basements and people's homes the players gotta be fighting for a big reward. Not just the glory.
Naw, your not even below the mason-dixon line. I do have a question to why this is relevant, though? Even though I do enjoy discussing these random things.
EDIT: Just read the rest of the thread.

Wow. I am at a loss for words. It's a marvel to see the game run. But then again, this is a screw up beyond countless proportions. In what world is it ok for a fighting game to load mid match. How is this acceptable? How are people not talking about it? It made one two minute match near unplayable.
In any case, thanks for verification that this shit is in the full version.

Yeah, well, I think you guys should...
SETTLE IT IN SMASH!
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.
Awesome. Just ordered it. Thanks guys. If it breaks down the line it's no big deal, still relatively cheap. Worth it to save my thumb haha.
Just saw this post mentioned on mariokart gaf community. I'll be there.
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!

Easily Melee. It's also only a slightly arranged remix of the F-Zero X Mute City theme, while the others are remixes of the SNES one, and I think the X version is easily superior to the original.
Yeah, we can do this. I'll fight (in Smash) over this. Let's go, euphemism!
Yeah, it really is bad. I'd be more upset over it if the Wii U version weren't on the way.

Don't go saying that in Virginia - there are a lot of people there who consider everything from Virginia on down to be the Solid South, and Maryland up is the North.
Seriously, I think it's a political-cultural thing: in my experience, liberals like to associate their state with the North and conservatives with the South. In the deep-blue DC metro area, most people are pretty "Northern" - everyone driving eco-friendly cars with Obama bumper stickers - but drive out to western MD and southern VA and you start seeing Confederate flags on pickup trucks.
...huh? This is the Smash thread? Sorry, I thought this was the Regional Culture OT.
lmao the "settle it in Smash" thing gets me every time.

I finally received my press copy of the North American version of the game today. My NDA says I'm not allowed to talk about basically anything that's not officially announced until the game comes out, though. : /
I'm pretty sure we know everything there is to know about the game already, but if anyone has any NA-related questions they want answered somehow I'm all ears. I'll be doing all of my unlocking procedures again tonight, although pre-release Hyrule Warriors is beckoning me too. ^_^

If you can try out online with other people in NA, that would be great.

is mewtwo in it
To think you would be under NDA, Shigeru. Nintendo is very tight-lipped, I guess.
Mewtwo is in the NA version of Hyrule Warriors, yes. I hope I don't get found out for breaking NDA.
I wonder why they left him out of Japan though. ???

Cool, I'll double-check my intensely long NDA again (don't want to miss anything) and then that-permitting check out some latency and things in online tonight. This will probably be the only time I can play online because once the general public gets in the poor games press gets royally trounced (if MK8 is any indicator).
They actually list all of the unlockable characters/stages and specifically tell you not to talk about them! This could be a big thing when the press copies for Wii U come out because that would probably settle any of the questions about additional characters if it isn't already by then.
