As a fellow Ness mainer, I definitely feel for you. So far I had no lag at all whenever I played (and I did play a considerable amount of time online), but I know how frustrating it can be to have lag with him.

In 5 hours, if all goes according to the plan, I should have a copy of Super Smash Bros. in my backpack while travelling to a friend's house.

Whenever the Wii U version comes out. (No, I'm not kidding.)
Lanturn
Last I heard the eShop has infinite supply, but I could just be going crazy.

I really want a N3DS now by the way ;_;
NessuDessu
Thanks for your advice, I guess I'll just wait until I save enough money or whenever... :(
NaomiMinette
I'll admit I forgot about the eShop as of my last post, but the fever... well... Let's just wait and see what the Wii U-specific modes are.
NessuDessu
I am willing to wait for a while,but for now I can just watch my friend play.... I also am surprised that Duck Hunt was included and excited that Ness was in SSBB4.

I finally have a 3DS and the new Smash, so if anyone fancies giving me some company, hit me up.

Quick poll:
Top 3 fighters?
Top 3 items?
Thoughts on Smash Run?
NaomiMinette
1) Lucario, Toon Link, and Dr. Mario
2) Master Ball, Ore Club, and Galaga Ships
3) Needs online multiplayer
Jarby
Top 3 fighters: Peach, Sheik and Villager.
Top 3 items: NO ITEMS ALLOWED (X bomb, bullet bill and the gust bellows are cool though)
Smash run thoughts: Probably won't play it once I unlock everything. Maybe it's better in multiplayer?

Yeah, it's kind of more fun in multiplayer, but then again everything is more fun in multiplayer. I kind of really like the mode either way.

My top 3 fighters would be Rosalina, Kirby and either Zero-Suit Samus or Shulk, and items would be Home-Run Bat, Ore Club and Beam Sword.

X Bomb indeed is fun, and Pokémon balls have always been a nice touch which makes Master Ball even cooler. For some reason, I feel like there's less variation for Pokémon and Master Ball Pokémon in this game, which has made it less exciting for me every time either of the balls appear. Not sure if that's just a gut feeling or if they've really cut down the palette of choices.
Norbi
Top 3 fighters: Zelda, Greninja, Pac-Man (I'd like to add Fox here as well, he was one of my mains since the very first Smash Bros. game. He still is at some point.)
Top 3 items: I'm not really an item player, but... Master Ball, Home-Run Bat and X Bomb.

Smash Run is fun, but probably would be better in multiplayer. Didn't have a chance to play with any of my local friends yet, totally needs online.
NoHitter
Fighters: Ness, Villager, Toon Link
Items: Same, I don't really play with items. On the top of my head though: Masterball, Smartbomb and Hammer
No idea what to comment amount Smash Run yet.
Professor Prinny
Top 3 Fighters: Robin, Ike, Shulk

Top 3 Items: Home-Run Bat, Ore Club and the Master Ball

As for Smash Run, I feel like 5 minutes collecting stuff is too long but overall it's enjoyable seeing your character so buffed up and blitzing across the map.
Lanturn
Top 3 Fighters: Peach / Jiggs / Iggy

Top 3 Items: Turnip, Mechakoopa, Bob-omb.. All I really play is for glory, and you can pick up all of these items through it :D

Smash Run: The events at the end are too short. ;_;

Stream starts in an hour for the 50 facts about the Wii U version.

http://www.twitch.tv/nintendo

Let's hope we get the DLC everyone wants and more info about the leaked board game & stage creator modes.
Professor Prinny
Well that stream was satisfying.
NaomiMinette
Dammit... Aside from Mewtwo, all the other exclusive stuff is really nice, too (particularly Smash Tour...

...Eh, take my money, Nintendo >.>
Lanturn
Money has been taken.

Xander Mobus (Name of the announcer in smash bros and the video) was great.

Loved the Jr. / Koopalings video as well. Hopefully we get a cool Duck Hunt one too :D

Also. I'm glad we got DLC announced.. Opens up a lot more possibilities in the future :)
NaomiMinette
Makes me wonder what treatment the 3DS version will get once the Wii U version comes out, because it's gonna be really hard for me to go back to... well... the 3DS version.

Anyway, here's the video for those who missed the livestream:

Professor Prinny
"Someday... When I'm bigger... I wanna fight that Mario again!" - Bowser Jr. (Super Mario Sunshine)
NaomiMinette
Except he already did (to some extent) in Mario Kart 8 :P (but that's for another thread)

Anyway, I'm definitely gonna get an amiibo now (not just for this game, for the record).
Jindujun93
The one issue that I have though is that apparently you NEED to buy both versions to actually be able to download Mewtwo from what I've read. Mind you that I only read a summary and didn't watch the stream, but I'm trusting the summary for now. Oh dear...
NaomiMinette
SPOILER
There's probably gonna be an option where you don't need to buy both but will have to pay for a DLC pack or something when more characters come out. Just a guess.

Ice Climbers? Probably not, since they want to have the same roster for both games, and Sakurai already said that the Ice Climbers wouldn't work on the 3DS. So it only makes sense for them not to appear as a DLC either.
I don't really care about Wolf (heck, I don't even care about Mewtwo either, I'd rather prefer Isaac from Golden Sun. Even 5 slots for Pokemon was already too much in my opinion...), but he along with Lucas -might- be options.
NaomiMinette
Lucas might be a no-go since Ness' alternate Specials already use his moveset.

Don't bring Valve in this shit.

I hope Wolf and Lucas are both no-gos. People are waiting for them too much from what I've seen. Also Pokémon Trainer.

Also please replace Lucario with Blaziken for the Wii U version, thanks.
NaomiMinette
You already know they won't do that to Lucario.

Anyway, here is the full list of things that were announced yesterday in case you don't wanna either watch the whole video or recap what was said.

I know. I know. I'm just way less excited about Mewtwo now that Lucario is a sure choice.

So I found this extremely hilarious: even if you get a squeaky Golden Hammer, if someone gets sent flying and you hit them with said hammer, the KO goes to you instead /o/ Not sure if this was ever since Brawl, but I just recently experienced that.
Jindujun93
Is it just me, or is the Pikachu / Mr. Game and Watch combo in team battles kind of broken? Have been falling victim to it quite a bit recently.

Elaborate on this combo? I usually play 1 on 1 so it's the first I've heard of it.

So far, with 30 hours of battles, I haven't seen a single squeaky hammer
Also no broken normal hammer

In particular, it's about the fact that one Thunder from Pikachu is enough to completely fill Mr. Game and Watch's bucket, which in itself gets you KOs very easily (naturally, you'd have to play with rules that allow you to hurt your teammates). To see it in action, I recommend this video.

Also, while not related to this combo, I just found this little gem of a glitch.

I've gotten squeaky Golden Hammers a few times and broken normal Hammers several times, though I usually play 30/60 minute matches, so...

EDIT: There's an update that supposedly balances the game, but I wonder if characters were affected.

EDIT 2: North Americans can get three posters from Club Nintendo.

Finally got around to playing for a bit today. Really enjoying the game - after getting used to the controls.
Don't have everyone unlocked yet, but my favourites are probably:
-Toon Link: Feels the same as before for the most part. Seems to recover from his throw a little quicker.
-Falco: His front-B and B feels like it goes a shorter distance, which annoys me a little.
-Kirby: Love him. Still not a fan of his front-B but that just means one less move to use.

Still haven't unlocked Ganandorf so I haven't been able to try him... looking forward to him and Lucina.
NaomiMinette
They partly gave his default Neutral B super armor.

Whose and... what's super armor? lol. I know close to no Smash-terminology.
NaomiMinette
Ganondorf.

Super Armor is a state in which your character can't flinch/get sent flying from any attack (Giga Bowser and Mega Lucario are perfect examples of this). The fact that Warlock Punch (Ganondorf's default Neutral B) is already so powerful is just... yeah...

The reason why I say partly is because that attack can still be interrupted.

It works, it just depends on the players' internet connections.

EDIT: Something that happened yesterday with one of my friends:



Click here if you don't get what's going on
Apparently if Wario uses his default Down Special (probably might work with the customs as well) AFTER being attacked/tossed, the game counts it as being launched by another player.

My friend and I literally laughed our sides off after this happened XD

I somehow got a score of 176k in Smash Run (with Rosalina, btw).

I'M PROUD OF SOMETHING I'VE DONE IN THIS GAME FOR ONCE.

Also, has anyone finished Classic with Difficulty 9? Also what in the world does "Clear Classic with difficulty 9.0 or higher" mean?
Azure_Kite
Smash Bros 4 DLC is coming out increasing the Risk meter to 12.

(Not really, I'm sure we would all die.)
NaomiMinette
I managed to beat it at 9.0 with Lucario after fighting at the lower Intensities and all phases of Master Core so much. Honestly, most--if not, a majority--of the attack patterns are predictable once you've seen them all.

EDIT: SSB 3DS Themes (Japan-only at the moment):


I actually like the 4th one's appearance, but the music and SFX for it ruin it for me :/ I'll probably get the 1st (if/when these come out overseas), though.

Played a lot in the past week.
-Falco: I feel like his smash is really sluggish... When I see an opportunity for a kill, it's just too slow to act.
-Lucina: Probably my favourite since I unlocked her. I don't like that her aerial attacks (aside her down-A) have close to no punch to them though.
-Ness: I actually like how he plays now. All three of his smash attacks have more kick to them for sure (though his front-A has a short reach). Just have to get used to the fact that his PK Thunder doesn't turn the same way as Lucas' did from Brawl... because that's what I'm used to!
-Charizard: Am I the only one who keeps using his Front-B when I want his Down-B? I've flown right off the edge more than once using it when I wanted Down-B. >_>

Just a quick, uninteresting thing here, don't mind me.

Took me exactly 180 final battles to "fight in every type of Smash Run final battle". Didn't know that was considered a milestone before receiving it, but damn.

Did You Know?: That's 15 hours of Smash Run, not counting the final battles which most of the time last exactly a minute. Which would be around 3 hours more.

Lovely. Incredible. Ridiculous. The More You Know.

I should move to Classic and Stadium modes.
NaomiMinette
I'm really annoyed there isn't an option to pick which type of final battle you want similar to one of the hidden options in Kirby Air Ride's City Trial ._.

EDIT: Well... I know which track I'm picking for FD from now on (aside from Brawl's original FD):

Don't forget that SSBB went way over the limit to the point where they had to use a dual-layered disc. Also, considering the amount of content over all the past games and even the 3DS version PLUS the fact that it'll be all in HD, I'm not surprised about the size.

I like how your main role as Little Mac is edgeguarding with your aerials and side b-ing is your best initiation tool.

/sarcasm

The sad part is that amongst those that suicide themselves on For Glory and tilting the chart down; are also pretty good ones that play him like an actual boxer, staying inside the ring and have patience.

I'm glad that Sakurai might consider nerfing his punches down since he's a tad too powerful on the ground and beyond helpless in the air.
While this is the way to play him and the thing that actually defines LM it's too unbalanced for the part that casuals want to try out LM aswell and pretty much get lured/baited out off the stage from his initial sweetspot (which is the center of omega stages)

At least the stages do not have a Battleflied version since that would pretty much makes it one of the worst stages for LM to be on.

Good representation of where LM is useful:

That's probably why I've started using Zero Suit Samus a lot lately.

Rosalina is still #1 bae though, and Kirby is easily the best in Smash Run. Down B spam for the victory.

EDIT: The 1.04 patched has been released for SSB 3DS. PLEASE remember that:

- You won't be able to connect with those that have 1.03 and older.
- ALL replay data you saved prior to this patch will be completely useless due to character balancing (so naturally, the game can't replicate the old stuff with the new data).

Yeah, there's been reports of Amiibos being exclusive to retailers, it's almost not even funny when you live on the edge of society and the next city is a few miles away.

I mean i understand that Nintendo want to make things more exciting to achieve but figures like Lucario and Shulk's gonna be difficult for people to obtain who doesn't have either Toys'R'Us or Gamestop available nearby.
Those -retailer exclusives- probably are going sell pretty pricey on Ebay/Amazon later since Nintendo said they wanted to run Amiibos on a limited stock as of for now.
