Congrats!
I'm still upset with Nintendo not sending me a code because of the email notifications setting. Surely they understand that an actual promotion is not the same thing as the junk mail I opted out of ;__;
I'm sure they also understand that I've now volunteered to receive advertisements from them via email for the rest of my life. :\
Bowser looking good. I might make a custom just for King Koopa from SM1.

I think a poster with "chaos" in their name claimed to have written it.
I ended up buying one. I was kinda looking out for one for some friends and family... but with a public version coming Friday anyway, I have to say I'd feel kinda bad if I took you up on the generosity. The rest of Smash Gaf would no doubt appreciate it more. Thank you though!
First off, have we seen this before?
Orange variation of the balloon fight stage.
That's gorgeous! Is it random?
Also, I am now pro with Lv9's in the demo.
Mario's back air off-stage is brutal.

I may or may not have made that claim.
I'm not the writer though.
I like going for stage spikes with it.
Wow, so Nintendo really banning because of disconnects and bullying?
Not bad. They are taking Smash seriously.
What is the threshold for bullying and disconnects?
Disconnects, sure.
But bullying? How do you even determine that? I think it was implied that it was targeting one player. Banning the most basic of strategies...

I've never disconnected once ever in any online game. I take my loses like real man or true woman would!

Speaking of this, I just noticed that I haven't received any e-mail from Nintendo since May or so (prior to May 10th I've received Nintendo e-mails regularly for years) and I have no idea why. I have the box checked to receive updates at Club Nintendo, my e-mail is correct and was never changed...anyone know what's up?
And yes, I checked all the folders including the spam one.
Vertical recovery is absolutely insane in SSB4, so probably. I've tried gimping people with Link's arrows and it never works when they're closer than half-way to the edge.

Bullying seems like it would be really hard for any sort of automated system to detect versus strategic play. I can only see it working in FFAs, and even then if you have a particularly good player in the group it makes sense that player would be the one that tends to be targeted. Which could possibly lead to bullying-related bans.
This stream is going through some custom moves right now (with a competitive mindset): www.twitch.tv/ninjalink

If you can spare 2 for two friends of mine who were platinum but didn't get it, I'd and they as well, would appreciated it.
Yeah, I'm just trying really really hard to make Megaman's leaf shield useful.
So far the best I've got is against chars with weak projectiles it gives you a safe move, but Megaman's buster cancels out most projectiles anyway, so it's not too big a deal.
It's probably only for FFAs in For Fun mode.
I wonder if there's a way for users to report other players? I imagine if so, that it starts from that, and then the replay gets uploaded for verification. If not, I guess it just checks to see if one player got killed repeatedly by everyone else? But then I have no idea how it would tell that from the player just being bad at the game.
Speaking of replays, is there still a time limit on those?

I think someone said replays capped at 17 minutes. 18 minutes wouldn't save.

Sorry if this has been mentioned before but now that the full game is out, does anyone know where the music from this clip comes from?

If it doesn't start in the right place, I'm taking about at 7mins in when they show off all the different modes in the 3DS version.

Ugh, its hard to control what moves you want to do with 3DS' control scheme. I roll with villager, then try to do the boxing punch move by tapping A, but there was still a micro second left of me pressing over to roll, so it registers as a smash move and I use the bowling ball in the direction I was rolling (facing away from the opponent) which resulted in giving the computer enough time to smash me off the stage.
I've a few methods that make the leaf shield useful...
1. You can still use items with the Leaf Shield up. This includes a Metal Blade you have picked up.
2. Activate the Leaf Shield, then grab your opponent, pummel them a couple times, and then throw. This does decent damage.
But yeah, Leaf Shield isn't Mega Man's strongest move.
Sweet! The three minute limit in Brawl was really restrictive, but anything over ten minutes is perfectly fine with me.
I hope they don't take a YouTube approach to reports, by banning a player with a report or two. I can imagine a vastly superior player being reported by younger players who are getting pissed off.
That is fantastic. I was worried they'd cap at 3 minutes like in Brawl.
I posted one publicly above, nobody has taken it as per instructions. The rest will be used by me and family.
You've gotta give me this, at the very least.
Do I HAVE to give you anything while your avatar lacks Anna?
Yeah, I've been doing these.
I've also found that leaf shield cancels metal blade. It'd probably be a good idea to put it up if they have a metal blade.
It also absolutely tears through weaker projectile spam like pikachu's thundershock and mario's fireballs. It's like the projectile to eat all other projectiles unless they're really strong, honestly. (Samus's charge shot for example.)
I'll change it back eventually. :<Do I HAVE to give you anything while your avatar lacks Anna?
The horribly slow startup time hurts the move's potential quite a bit. If it was faster it would be much better.

WHATWAHWAT!? STILL HAS 16 UNLOCKEABLE CHARACTERS!?
Sorry, what? Thread moves too fast; can't find what this is in reference to.

Makes sense. Right before Black Friday. All major publishers want to get their heavy hitters out before then.
Well, just right in the first post of this thread reveals that there is still 16 more characters to unlock into the game. I just know that one of these charcacters are Falco Lombardi and Ness.

God, I cannot wrap my head around pressing a button to jump in a game like this. Like, I know that it's the better option between the two, and I've really tried to get used to it, but while it's a lot easier to shorthop and perform tilts without it, short-hopping feels a lot more intuitive when it comes to jumping off the stage and everything else. It's a disease. @_@

yeah I know, that's why you should just admit that the Lucina color is supposed to be Cordelia

Oh lol.... the word "still" made it sound like "in addition to the ones already unlocked."
There was a Gaf thread about this rumor too (Probably the same thing? The source on that was a retailer preorder card).
I don't think that source was really anything to jump around over, but I think most people are guessing that date. If they can manage, that's the date they want. And with the 3DS game out already, I don't think the Wii U version is pressed for time. But who knows, could just as possibly be crunch time right now.

I thought that was obvious :lol
So...those with the full game, who's the most used character right now? Obviously, it'll change in the coming weeks with the metagame and all that, but I'm curious who people think is the shit right now.
Also, who seems to have the most potential but is currently underutilized. Y'know like the whole IC situation from Brawl. Kind of brushed under the rug until some guy figured out how to use them effectively. I'm getting the idea that Mac and Rosie are those kinds of characters, but I dunno, haven't watched lots of streams to keep myself fresh for the full game.

Yay for doing this, I figured I'd be waiting longer for someone to get around to DK's custom moves.
Boo for them being as bland as I feared, I'd have taken the ever lambasted DKCR blowing for an alternative Down B over random fire and lightning slaps.

Dr Mario's giant pill is hilarious.
