Super Smash Bros. for Wii U Miiverse Update Thread XVI

Seriously, I'm surprised there's no leak yet. When do you guys think it will hit?

In the other thread at least Sprsk announced that he'd be getting his copy today apparently, so the most likely period appears to be late last night through the duration of tonight.
 
Thanks for the Villager feedback.

And I'm telling you guys, you're setting yourself up for disappointment. We're getting that demo September 30, and not a day sooner. Mark my words.
actually don't, i don't want everyone quoting me when i end up being wrong

Seems like Japanese retailers are legit. I don't think we'll get anything until the game actually releases tomorrow night.

Game releases in 47 hours, not tomorrow night... unless you live in japan or that time zone, and then, sure.

It seems like several people will be getting their copies today, though. I'd expect leaks by 8PM EST tonight.
 
Anyone else's living room look like this?

Usually 20k is the stopping point, but for some reason the new thread was made after only 19300 posts in the last one. Not sure why the transition was made 700 posts short, but maybe it was due to the demo coming out.

Link seems quite fast and responsive now, almost on a level with Mario, so I'm guessing that is one thing that is helping. Link's moves are also strong, and his grapple for recovery etc. is much better.

I haven't played, but from watching I agree with Makai -- I like the new ledge game. It looks smooth and reasonable for the second person recovering to knock the first person off the ledge, and I think it's going to work out fine.
Heath was really tired so he couldn't wait for the thread to reach its limit. That's why we have a new thread.

It'd be amazing if they managed to not have it leak before release in 47 hours 3 minutes. I might shit myself if I were to unlock Ridley without knowing he was in.
Realistically, though, probably tonight. We know its in the wild. Some retailer's gonna fuck up soon.

Oh, really? I got confused then. I guess we have a little more time for an actual leak.

Games are probably in JP stores now, and heck, nearing printing in US/EU too.

Bound to be a couple of JP games ready on shelves for some lucky bastard to collect.

Maybe it's because I just finished Layton vs. Ace Attorney, but this sounds like it could be a Professor Layton song... in the best way.

Man Layton would be such a cool Smash character. Maybe someday...
I hope I can finish that by the time Smash comes out. I thought I'd have plenty of time to, but now I bought a random Neo Geo Pocket and got distracted with that, lol. Then after that the Smash 4 demo/streams started.

Which reminds me, is there a usage limit on the Smash 4 demo?

30 tries I believe
 
Which franchises have the best musical representation in Brawl and which ones have the worst?

For me

Best: F-Zero, Donkey Kong

Worst: Metroid

Best: The Legend of Zelda (a host of great remixes, plus great imported songs to boot)

Worst: Pikmin (two remixes, and half the imported songs were Ai no Uta; also Environmental Noises, the worst "song" on the OST)

Air Dodge too stronk

Seriously, there's nothing more annoying than watching a CPU spam the air dodge all the way back to the ground making themselves invincible for 99.5% of the duration with very minimal risk added onto the end.
 
I've been on the fence on the Wii U version. Thing is I'm not *that* big of a multiplayer fan. The last SSB I played was Melee and I loved the heck out of it simply for the different challenges and minigames I could play solo, the baseball bat minigame, fighting through characters up the ladder to get to Master Hand.

Can I do the same here or did Sakurai really nerf the solo component?

Did I hear that right earlier? Starmen are Smash Run enemies? As in these Starmen?



If so, I'm speechless...Does that mean this track can make it into Smash Run if there is a Starman DX boss? http://youtu.be/yrvbsNlOtoA

I really hope this is true. Starmen are rad as hell and easily the most iconic Mother enemy. I'd be really curious to see how they are animated beyond just teleporting around in a cool guy pose. Their design makes their nature very mysterious. Like are they mechanical and stomp around like 50's B-movie robots? Having no visible joints, do they stretch and move like the T-1000? Or are they alien creatures in suits?

What are this game's air dodges like compared to Brawl's? I was under the impression that you couldn't spam them so easily this time around.

Wellllp, 3DS about to stay turned on for around a month.
More like a week by the time I get the demo here.

But there are less than 30 days before release - how could you use up all 30 uses in that time?

The thing is they have been really quiet on the modes available in the Wii U version, and the only leaks so far have been for 3DS. So nobody really knows!
