So a buddy...

Sorry

Had you never "held" a Wii U, or are you talking about the controller, I don't understand.

Thought Kaylx owned a Wii U

Nah we don't have one here. We have a buddy who left it here for a few days. Been killin it tonight.

My go-tos right now:

Sonic (he can reallyyyy move)
Robin
Zelda
Shulk
Diddy
And I made myself for all three move-templates.

Starting to get more comfortable with the game. Me and Khuntry went online to play some 2v2 For Glory. Fools got rekt.

I'm liking Bowser.

Is For Glory the mode where it only picks boring stages without gimmicks?

Hate that. Best part of Smash Bros. is the crazy stages with lots of bullshit. Like Pyroshere.

1v1 no items Fox only Final D

I hate the ones that move up, but loved that one Samus level in Melee that rotated.

New starfox stage is fucking awesome.

Like pokefloats on cocaine.

For those aware or affected, a small amount of Wii U's have been getting bricked lately (Error 160-0103) with Smash Bros originally being blamed for it.

Turns out its not the game itself but likely an internal memory issue causing the problem with Nintendo warning everyone affected to not format or do any other quick fix from Reddit. The bulk of the bricking occurred after those fixes were done.

Totally gonna play this in a bit.

Raffle at work this year will have a Wii U.... totally gonna win

Playing as mega man just makes me want capcom to make a smash type game that's all mega man characters and stages. With the series' long history, you'd have enough content to pull from for a whole bunch of games.

Been wishing for that for awhile

I'll be needing your Nintendo ID so I could kick your ass later.

Fuck company did not add in a Wii U......should I put my 24 raffle tickets in the 200$ bag or the lottery tree (less people might bid on that)?

Hmmmm, now that I think about it more the 100$ bag might be the way to go.

Played this game a fair bit now and I'm getting the itch to go back to Mario Kart.

Won a hundred bucks.....was hoping i'd have my ticket pulled a few times but oh well.

Got a WiiU for Christmas. Once I'm back home on Saturday, I imagine Smash will be a pretty quick purchase.

Picked this up last weekend and am absolutely loving it. Little mac is a damn beast.

Played for maybe an hour on my son's 3DS. Picked Zero Suit Samus on a hunch and she is a badass, at least for my play style.

Fun game, need to improve on it tons though. Made it to FInal Hand or whatever his name is, and lost. Had to do other stuff, so I just shut it off at that point.

Very impressed with the large selection of characters though :)

Welcome to the fun train.

Pretty amazing game. My gf got it for Christmas.

Played WiiU version tonight for first time. Very similar to 3DS obvs but 8-player Smash is tremendous. That Great Cave Offensive map can fuck right off though.

Action from Friday night session:

<iframe width="640" height="360" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/48W9dguxFyg?feature=player_embedded" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

<iframe width="640" height="360" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/wIT-1raks4E?feature=player_embedded" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

We used items this time but regulated which were enabled and kept their appearance low. This led to the most fun we had with items and made them more important when they popped. Probably gonna do it this way from now on.

More vids soon. 2v2!!

<iframe width="640" height="360" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/lm92VLD264A?feature=player_embedded" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Latest update for the game expanded the amount of stages available for 8-player mode. 15 were added with several tweaks made to some stages to cover the new changes.

Still can't get a gamecube controller adapter so it seems like a waste of time to play

Seriously it works fine with any other controller type. I play with the Wii U Pro. My buddy uses the gamepad. We had a guy who used the Wiimote and nunchuk.

Don't understand why they aren't going to make DLC for this, considering how few and far between smash games are.

Like if they don't want to upset the balance by creating more characters then fine, okay. But at least hit us up with more stages.

I used the wii u game pad and the wii classic controller and they both just make me want to use the gamecube controller

The mega man stage is seriously one of the most god damn disappointing things i've ever seen in a video game

like.. they did a great job with mega man himself, all the weapons and stuff are good, really good that it's basically just megaman 2-3

but you have seriously 50+ "retro" mega man stages to make a level out of and you just choose a generic floating platform in front of a static background of dr. wily's castle and then just have the fucking yellow giant guy go back and forth... like come on... why not have metal man's stage where the floor changes into a conveyor belt, or little screws start falling from the sky... or charge man's stage on a moving train... like anything... seriously

Yeah, there's enough to draw from, that you could make an entirely mega man themed smash brothers.

The stage should have been something like the new starfox where it switched to different areas like one would be the quickman beams, and another could have players jump to different platforms while being chased by the mecha dragon.

I'll forgive the lack of creativity in MM's stage if only because it got us Wily's music in a Smash Bros game

Still would be in there regardless... there is music from like 100 games in there, just 1 mario kart stage but music from like 5 mario kart games

Doesn't make it any less sweet

Fuck DLCYeah I wonder why Capcom didn't originally do this.

DLC is great when it's not abused

Link in Mario Kart is awesome

Rockstars DLC is legit, with a2 new storymode's for GTA4 but so many companies abuse DLC. Especially "on disk" DLC.

It doesn't make a difference with on-disk DLC. In fact it's supposed to save you money and a lot of the time it does.

Has there been any news of more dlc coming for Mario Kart?

Could see stuff like an F-zero, Donkey Kong, or Star Fox pack. Could create some awesome tracks with any of those franchises.

NINTENDO KART

Oh, nm I guess the next pack comes in may.

Kalyx_triaD_U

Though like Street Fighter a lot of the time we'll be offline but we could Smash or Kart or whatever sometime.

Patch released today for the 3DS version includes support for Amiibos although with a catch. Only the New 3DS model supports direct scanning while the 3DS, 3DS XL, and 2DS need an adapter that will be released in the near future.

http://www.nintendolife.com/news/201...drops_tomorrow

Not a catch so much as common sense. The older models simply do not have Amiibo ports.

Mewtwo was announced to be arriving on April 15th. Besides Mewtwo, Lucas was announced yesterday to be arriving as a playable DLC fighter this June.

Nintendo also gauging interest for other characters to be added in as DLC based on how many fan nominations that character gets.

https://cp.nintendo.co.jp/us/

PKO outta nowhere!

http://www.destructoid.com/upcoming-...s-289865.phtml

Fuck DLC, no one buy it.

We are so totally getting everything.

Oh yeah, $.75 for a set of skins. What crooks.

ugh

Nintendo is one of the few companies that actually gets DLC right

do not complain plz

slippery slope

Xbox boss Phil Spencer recently teased that he wouldn't have a problem with Banjo being added as a possible DLC fighter for Smash Bros if the opportunity arises.

http://www.destructoid.com/xbox-boss...c-289974.phtml

Smartest thing he said in a while.

Do I have to pay for Mewtwo?

Yes. Unless you registered both versions of Smash 4.

Bullshit. Thanks.

For those that are eligible to get Mewtwo for free, Nintendo started sending out emails containing the DLC codes today. Character itself won't be available to download till tomorrow though.

http://www.destructoid.com/mewtwo-dl...e-290465.phtml

Me and a bud vs Khuntry and another.

<iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/TsnoDTTh5jQ?feature=player_embedded" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Free for all in Khuntry's custom arena.

Ryu from the Street Fighter series is currently being rumored as a possible future DLC pack. Basis for the rumor is from a recent update for the 3DS version that included some references and sound bites from the Street Fighter series.

http://www.destructoid.com/could-str...--290564.phtml

shit son

HOT

https://www.change.org/p/nintendo-pa...-wii-u-and-3ds

The longest explanation ever about a mechanic, and then at the end "Well I closed this because the change doesn't matter"

DLC fighter Lucas was announced to be arriving on June 14th. A bunch of other stuff are also arriving around the same time, some free and some paid.

http://www.screwattack.com/news/luca...h-bros-june-14

hell yeah Lucas

possible Splatoon playable character someday? :D (probably not until next iteration of the game)

Love Earthbound, but they suck in SSB.

Lucas was amazing in Brawl

I'm playing though that now, and that's what I'm going by. I just don't like him.

nothing is funnier then watching Pikachu go splat against the screen

Nintendo announced they will hosting a special Smash Bros DLC video presentation during E3.

http://www.screwattack.com/news/masa...c-presentation

Ness definitely doesn't suck. He has great aerial moves, probably the best kill throw in the game, easy air combos from his down throw, a reflector, an absorber, and a trip. Sure, his recovery is weird, but it's also a fun kill move.

I don't remember too much about Lucas, other than an amazing up smash.

I prefer when Mewtwo goes splat. He still keeps his arms crossed.

Haven't seen him go splat yet

Roy and Ryu videos have leaked, so that's the announcement for later out the way.

Ryu.....He's about as out of place as Snake was

Really his moves can translate to Smash far easier than Snake's known moveset.

SHORYUKEN NOW

Lol 100%

Ryu is very good. Classic SF motion inputs for better specials. Special cancels. A surprisingly useful Focus Attack (with dash cancel!). He kinda opens the floodgates in the way Mac's KO meter does. Interesting stuff.

Roy completes the Fire Emblem shotos. Doesn't have the 'tip' bonus of Marth but certainly hits harder than him and Lucina. Lucas is an asshole.

Game&Watch amiibo wooooo

Hasn't Roy always done more damage when he hits in the middle of the sword?

During yesterday's mini-direct thing, I think Sakurai said Roy's sword is stronger at the base or middle, or something like that.

That's how it is in Melee. Marth's is stronger at the tip and Roy's stronger in the middle

Yes, yes, you guys are right. Detail slipped my mind.

Wish characters and stages DLC was more frequent.

Wouldn't say no to music packs and DLC items and costumes either.
Smash 64 "costumes"
Melee "costumes"
Different iterations of the Zelda cast like in Hyrule Warriors
Mario and Luigi's animal costumes or a Mario Maker look
Mr L for Luigi
Hawaiian shirt and shades from Sunshine for Mario
Yarn Yoshi
Yarn Kirby/Metaknight/DeDeDe
SNES Little Mac

Lots of potential.

Definitely. They just recently started adding DLC though so they probably wanted to gauge how popular it was before going head-on into it

I am very picky with DLC in general but, with Nintendo, I just want everything and more.

Dat Banjo Kazooie tho

Banjo would be awesome but he'd be an advertisement for Xbox. Then again, Ryu is in and he's PS exclusive now.

My dream Nintendo characters would be:
Doshin the Giant
Chibi-Robo
Stunt Race FX Crew (Pokémon Trainer style character switching between the different cars.)
King K.Rool

My dream 3rd party characters would be:
Bomberman
Simon Belmont (original Castlevania, not the new design)
Dr Robotnik

I'll no doubt think of others later and add them.

Bomberman would be hilarious. I can already see how he'd work, taking the multiple power-ups into account.

Eggman may crossover into what the Koopa Kids play like if his little vehicles are kept as his default stance.

Kind of surprised King K isn't in the game.

And seriously; the fucking Splatoon kids.

Awesome having Ryu in it and hope it would sow the seeds for maybe one day a Nintendo v Capcom title.

I always imagined K.Rool was supposed to be in Brawl but was cut. When a cannonball hits Mario out of nowhere in SSE, it's never explained where it came from. I've always imagined it was going to be K.Rool at one point.

I was going to say Inklings but they'll probably be for a future Smash. Waluigi would be cool so I can have a team mate for Wario, my favourite character, but he's an AT...again.

Robotnik (screw Eggman) would be cool if he could switch vehicles in the way some characters in traditional fighters can change fighting stance midmatch.

Basically how Pokemon Trainer did it. Maybe even have those weak points over and under for extra damage. Khuntry also thought Tails would be cool.

They need Robotnik *hate eggman* in the game, and maybe tails.
