So guys, I have a 16gig SD card on my 3DS that pretty much full. Should I get rid of some games to make room for smash or should I just get a bigger card? Having smash with me at all times will be great to have if I want to randomly battle someone near me with smash. I find having digital copies of the game is great to have on multiplayer focused games.

Quoting because I think people didn't see it at all.

Hey, if anyone from Konami gets in as DLC, it's Bomberman Snake.

... With Bomberman getting in next. He already has connections with the other characters, like that time Wario took one of his games!

And he, Snake, and even Simon (and Optimus Prime!) have Smash-esque experience anyway in Dream Mix TV, so it's not like he's a stranger to Platform Fighters.

That doesn't even have critical hits, the most OP equipment of all.

Those rules are so ridiculous. Equipment is completely broken, whoever gets lucky and gets the best stuff is going to inherently have a huge advantage. And no changing characters is like, wat.

Next they are going to add a rule saying you can't attack the opponent if they are off stage, you have to let them try recovery.
Yeah, I'm referencing that picture.

Just keep in mind that my first instinct was to make it say "Metal Gear Solid is a terrible series," but I thought that was a little too mean.

Also someone (forgot who) suggested that I give you a Solid Snake My Little Pony avatar like this:



And I didn't.

So it could've been worse!

*sigh* I guess If you have to shoot one of us, shoot me, not the series.

Lol wtf at that Snake pony. You're still evil though.

I think they linked the wrong thing in the twitter account. According to Nintendo's tweet, they are hosting a demo of Smash at Gamestop for 100 stores on 9/27. The tournament is only in 15 stores on October 4th.

Oh, yes. The link is for the gamestop tournament, not the demo, despite the tweet saying that.

Yeah, I bet it's starting roster w/ starting stages. It's easier to just throw the full game into demo units, though.

You can only use characters from the initial roster for the local tournaments, and it seems customization is off cause it doesn't mention it (also the use of "a level playing field").

Players may bring and use their own personal Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS game, complete with their own custom save data if they so choose (each, a “Personal Game”).
Nintendo will also provide a Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS game with official tournament save data including customization options (the “Nintendo Game”) to any player who does not have their own game or who chooses to use the Nintendo Game instead.
Prior to the start of the tournament and livestream, all players must create on the Nintendo Game the customized version of the character they plan to use and an alternate customized version of the same character.
In any round of the tournament, any player in that round may choose to require that round of the tournament be played on the Nintendo Game, rather than on the Personal Games.

Looks like they have pre-unlocked data for nationals?

Eurobros, did Nintendo crack down on early releases in Europe after XY debacle? I know this is possibly the reason why ORAS is coming out a week later, but did anything change since then? I had not bought Nintendo game day one since SM3DW and I want to know if I can expect being able to pick up SSB on Wednesday. Anyone knows anything in that regard?
Click to expand...

I think the real reason we are getting OR/AS a week later is because Smash Bros Wii U might being hitting on the 21st so Nintendo of Europe just pushed Pokémon a week later.

But if you want Smash Bros 3DS on Wednesday try Shopto they send out copies a few days before release dates.

The rules sound terrible though. Starts out with FFA's and has items on.

Not like there's one in DC anyway, so it makes no difference for me.

Edit: And they don't even give the locations for the playable demo, despite it being 2 days away.

Does anyone know if you're able to play the With Anyone mode online, but have a friend with you as well, or is it random free-for-alls? I want to know if I'm able to 2v2 with a friend against another random team. That would be nice.

Awwwwwwwww. Team battle against randoms would be neat but that would require a lot more organization amongst peers than simply connecting online and playing so I understand why they didn't make that a feature.

Nah I know where to shop and I guess it can be the same situation as with SM3DW and ALBW last year. I got SM3DW, Pokemon X, WiiU, NSMB2, Skyward Sword, etc all two days early on Wednesday so I got my sources :D Was just wondering if there was any change since last year since it seemed Nintendo was rather unhappy with how we knew everything about X before it even came out officially. Non-NoE European countries are rather... lenient with street dates.

Yup, custom equipment may as well be 'items on.' Custom moves are pretty good though. Not broken (yet) as far as I can tell.

Apparently you can't tell if your opponent is using custom equipment until the match starts when you're playing online :/ You just gotta trust your friends, I guess.

They're balanced with stat changes and rarity. And some of them only activate a small percentage of the time.

It's an attempt to balance, I suppose, but some of those effects are too good, regardless of stat changes.

So anyone got a page/link on buffs/debuffs and tier list for the game now?
Click to expand...

A character tier list is not possible without match-up data and tournament results (the game is not even out in the US yet).

If you meant an equipment tier list, then I doubt one would exist because of how many of them there are to begin with.

Gonna try to attend the Anaheim GameStop tournament. Don't expect to win really, but it'd be loads of fun. Some pretty cool prizes to the victors. I'm impressed, Ninty.

We'll probably hit OT2 late today or early tomorrow. 15 pages can't last for 8 days.
