Interesting. This is good news!

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
I hope Kart is an indication Nintendo has figured out online performance because Kart is virtually lag free. I hope Smash is as well!!!

Racing games and fighting games don't share the same netcode DNA.

I have to wonder if this means they'll get Eric Stuart for Meta Knight (aka 4kids Right Back At Ya). They got those voices back for those 3D shorts on Nintendo Video, and it would be kind of funny, but at the same time Brawl MK was so badass.
I just hope to hear Anthony Del Rio can confirm he's voicing Pit soon.

No. PLEASE no. Anything 4kids tried to do with accents was a fucking disaster.
Anything in the vein of Brawl MK would be fine, thanks
Edit: actually, a new direction with the character could be nice too.

That and Nintendo EAD isn't even in the same building as Namco Bandai, the makers of the next Smash games, much less belong to the same company.
However, since SCV the Namco Bandai fighting games that Namco Bandai actually genuinely cared about had excellent netcode, some of the best out there. As long as Smash 4 is in Namco Bandai's "Give a Shit About" pile then the netcode should be pretty damn good.
Namco Bandai and EAD seem to have a decent relationship though. They've collaborated on Mario Kart Arcade GP in the past and Namco Bandai has two special thanks credits in Mario Kart 8.

Yeah, but since Nintendo doesn't really have any good fighting game netcode on hand, Nintendo EAD would have to write up the netcode from scratch if they were the ones making it. It would be a horrible use of resources when Namco Bandai can probably do it both quicker and much better, assuming they care enough.

Man the Wii U Pro controller on MK8 is total bliss. It feels sooooo good. What a great game.

Characters are allowed to have useful moves, you know.

It seems like Deep Breathing requires proper timing though. We see Male WFT fumble with it.

I think the timing is: between when WFT closes her mouth & the breathing line enters the red circle.
Male trainer fumbles it by letting it enter the red circle, but I think if you end it before WFT closes her mouth you'll not get a boost/a weaker one.
3DS:
-3DS XL
-Physical Copy of the game
-Cool Pouch
-Elegant color witht he smash symbol on the back
Wii U:
-Elegant color with smash symbol on Gamepad somewhere
-Physical copy of the game
-Gamecube adapter and Gamecube controller included
Agreed, though it depends on how strong the hitstun will be on his basic attack. If it's anything disruptive, he could get annoying quickly. Rosalina less so, on the basis that she'll probably be a difficult character to master, what with being relatively weak minus Luma, and the player having to understand difficult concepts to max her potential, a la Ice Climbers.
Little mac is my man though.
Incredible speed, dodging projectiles, super armor frames, OHKOs, the man is a terror. Only weak points are a crappy air game and a punishable recovery. If he gets a lead on you early, you're going to struggle. People are going to need to find a way to counter him, because I expect to see him A LOT on "For Glory" online mode.
I don't think he'll be very good. What if a character like Jiggly just lames him out in the air? Or just hugs the ledge? He can't really go after her because then he risks not being able to recover.
Super armor, keeps him from easily getting knocked into the air. If someone wants to be cute and fly around the stage the whole match, no one will win.
I'm not sure that's how the matches will go. Isn't that how Jigglypuff is played in Melee? She just flies around in the air and dominates her space.

I think Melee? Thought the most important thing here is that you can't air dodge out of hitstun like in Brawl, so the combo system might be greatly improved.
Attacks still seem to have high knockback even at low percentages so it's not like it'll matter that much.
Having put 15 hours into MK8 after only one day of owning the game, I can't goddamn believe how good it is.
Now I'm hyped to hell and back for Smash. I wasn't really feeling it, but if it's half as good as MK then it'll be amazing, and Sakurai's record is impeccable... Why does it have to be Christmas! Argh!
There's Roy tier, and then there's everyone else. Seriously though it looks like the heavies are the way to go, but almost anyone is usable since you just pick kart parts that cover their weaknesses.
I remember when I wanted Roy for Melee, all the way back in 1999/2000 and ended up getting the wrong Roy. Getting to play as him 14 years later in Mario Kart is awesome. Still wish he was in Smash 4, but I realise that for most people that'd be an awful choice.

Hello weekend SmashGAF, I assume a good chunk of you are playing MK8 and wanting to avoid the crazy overhyping of the second to last weekend before E3.
Thanks. I truly could not tell, they were just blobs of color lol.

Mario Kart 8 is the Hype! I'm going to keep my eyes out for E3 Craziness if it's necessary, and It's only 9 days to go before E3 officially started.
Also 10 days to go for Digital Event!
The timing on Mario Kart 8 was really wonderful. Between that, Project M, my newly acquired DKC: Tropical Freeze and Pikmin 3 (thank you based Toys R Us), I think my GAF posting is going to slow down. Well after SKTAR 3 anyways.

Well if you are getting Mario Kart 8 for Wii U, then you would be more likely to pick up SSB Wii U in the future! Technically two games!

Fair point. Only issue is, I'm pretty much busy studying all the time and I'm not at home as much to actually benefit having a U just yet, which is why I love my 3DS so much, for ease of use anywhere I feel.
We'll see once the Summer break settles in. If Smash 3DS scratches my itch the way it should, I'll be settled with that.

I take back what I said about MK8 being boring, I should've waited until I had played races beyond 50 CC to pass judgement.
