Super Smash Bros. for Wii U Miiverse Update Thread XVI

Not open for further replies.
It looks like a lot of the Mario combos are only working against the lvl 1 computers. The lvl 9s are just jumping/air dodging out of them :/

I'm loving the positive early impressions though. I truly hope this game shines.
 
Also, you should check out, like

any thread about demos

It is full of people who say things like "I loved having demos, I just subsisted on them until the game got cheaper." Or "I just got new PS1 demo discs instead of buying games."

One of the reasons companies mostly stopped doing demos is because most people either realize they don't like it or they've had their fill.
 
I'm still playing the demo.

The people in this thread aren't the people Nintendo's trying to sell this game to, though, since we preordered it long ago. It's the people who are on the fence about "this whole Smash Bros. thing" that Nintendo wants to lure in without burning out.

I know that. The post was just in general regarding us in the thread.
Considering the sales of melee and brawl. How many customers can be on the fence for smash though.

I saw Metagross and Mr. Saturn. *edit* I think Mr. Saturn is a normal "item", my bad, but I did see Metagross stomping.

That's good. As someone who spends most of his time playing against CPUs, I want lvl 9s to be competent and dangerous opponents (which is why I'm still a little worried about all the people saying the lvl 9s in this demo seem easier.)

And it's even worse when demos have so much replayability, just like this one

There are probably enough younger players who missed Melee (that was 11 years ago, remember,) and maybe even Brawl, or perhaps players who don't know whether they want the 3DS version or not. There's been a lot of skepticism about how well Smash will play on a handheld; there are probably still a lot of people who aren't sold on the idea of Smash 3DS.
 
Thanks to those who responded.

So, base-power wise, Link's Up+B is stronger than in Brawl right?

So when it's charged, is it stronger than Melee's at least you think?

I'm all for CPUs being competent. I'm just worried about airdodges ruining the combo game still. I shouldn't worry too much though. Things have def been promising so far.

That makes sense. It has been quite awhile since brawl alone.
 
I think Nintendo doesn't want people going "Okay, that was a fun few weeks with this game, I can wait for the Wii U version now."

They want you to buy both, even if (and especially) that means preying on your hype.

Also, you sort of stop buying 3DS games while you're trying to make a single executable last as an end-run around its play limit. Probably not good for them overall.
 
Playing it now, I'd ask if anyone wants to know anything but with all the streams going on and the other people that have it in this thread, most of the stuff has probably already been answered.

I wouldn't say it's as strong as Melee's knockback wise, but it's great as an edge guard tool again.

No way, I can play this forever. And I need to buy the full version to play as Wii Fit Trainer.

The demo being restricted to 2 minute matches with only 5 characters should be torture for most people.

Edit: Oh, I understand your post now. I think the 3DS version could easily stand on its own.

I'm sure everyone would be interested to hear what you think about it, even if there aren't any more new discoveries to make.

Agreed. I've already put over an hour into it and already frustrated by the lack of progression, characters and stages. I'm convinced the game will be amazing based on the great experience so far, but it gets a bit old quite quickly.
 
The endlag on megaman's moves feel insane on my first go of the game.


But I'm still not used to playing on the 3DS, I'd be using Y for specials, B for normals and X/A for jumps if I could customise so I keep doing the wrong shit.
