Last I heard the eShop has infinite supply, but I could just be going crazy.
I really want a N3DS now by the way ;_;

Thanks for your advice, I guess I'll just wait until I save enough money or whenever... 
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.
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.

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.Jarby wrote:

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.
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.

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.

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...
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.Nwolf wrote:

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.
Lucas might be a no-go since Ness' alternate Specials already use his moveset.

Don't leave me out, now. Don't get me wrong, either.
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.
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.Jindujun93 wrote:

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.NoHitter wrote:

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.

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.

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.

(Not really, I'm sure we would all die.)
(Not really, I'm sure we would all die.)
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.

-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.

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.

For everyone who has SM4SH WiiU now and consider collecting as many Amiibos as you can:
Lootcrate partners up with Nintendo (or rather the other way around) and created an Amiibo Loot Crate that sends 10 pre-selected figures to all subscirbers.
To quote:
<source> <official lootcrate page>
Note that you'll pay a monthly subscription of 30$ per month and they plan on putting around 3 amiibos per crate they send off.
This is already a huge steal for your buck as amiibos run on a limited stock as i earlier mentioned so if the demand is great (which i highly presume given how many peple it targets; collectors, smash-fans and casuals alike) and your luck is high (if you're given one of the limited amiibos) you can save a lot of money while also receiving some other goodies along your amiibos.
With this said; i highly recommend anyone to buy figurines they think will run on a limited production as those will be pretty much rare to obtain later in less than a year from now on
If you're a collector of things it's highly advised to have a look out for amiibos such as Marth, WFT and Villager as those 3 will run on a limited stock.
Nintendo also launched an official amiibo website
Also, is this just an mistake or why is Marth's amiibo page say it's also compatible with Hyrule Warriors?
Edit: Nevermind the page is still pretty early on it's launch so the staff didn't had time to put all the characters in their amiibo specific games, hence all amiibos as of right now are listed compatible for Hyrule Warriors.

^ Saw that weeks ago. Not interested in having so many of them I won't really use @ Loot Crate part .
My post was aimed towards everyone here and i know the article/lootcrate thing dates back a few weeks ago and i've seen it on multiple smash-related-boards since aswell.
But i thought the post was highly relevant since SM4SH Wii U just launched for NA officialy and since the majority of the lootcrate subscriptions come from the US it would be a golden opportunity to get the deal going before the rest of the world gets their hands on the game.
Also to 50% relevant; but New Zealand and Australia finally have the benifit of getting their hands on the New Nintendo 3DS (XL) before the rest of the world as it got released today, except Japan who got theirs a month earlier.
Still TBA for NA and EU.

Posted that already in the 3DS thread months ago.
Anyway, back to the amiibo: you'd think 3DS support would come out either before or around the same time as the Wii U side. I mean... we had SSB 3DS for how long already yet we're just now getting amiibo, and... yeah... There'd better be some benefit bringing stuff from the Wii U version to the 3DS version.
EDIT: SSB 3DS' current Conquest (dunno about Wii U's side) is Team Omega Ruby (Charizard & Pikachu) vs. Team Alpha Sapphire (Lucario & Greninja) and will only last for four days.

Off-Topic:
I highly doubt Nintendo can change something significant on the 3DS side by using your Wii U in any way.
Mainly because of the hardware limitations and partially because the Wii U is their current gen console runner up and they want to give it more attention to the public as opposed to the 3DS that already sold 45 million units compared to the approximataly 7~ million Wii U's.
They do however, try to merge 3DS sales with the Wii U sales with their attempt of making your 3DS work as a controller on the SM4SH Wii U and have Mewtwo as an promotional DLC if you get both copies of SM4SH.
Releasing Amiibos just support this statement as they focus on trying to make the Wii U sell better than the first few years it initially released.

On-Topic:
However, there's still chances that amiibos made for different games might come in handy for the future of SM4SH.
My thoughts here would be an Wolf amiibo that's coming alongside with Starfox Wii U and that you unlock Wolf with in SM4SH Wii U, that you could transfer it to your SM4SH 3DS.
Or a Roy amiibo for Fire Emblem x Shin Megami Tensei that unlocks Roy with the same principle (unlocks Roy for SM4SH Wii U and then can be ported to the 3DS version).
I mean it's technically not DLC, if they come with the games you buy.
It leaves a lot of options open for the future of both consoles and it's games (namely SM4SH), as Nintendo is trying to slowly make their consoles/hardware respond to eachother more and more, especially since the New 3DS might come in handy in this act.
I've learned that doing the following when you're playing alone can raise your amiibo to Level 50:
- Playing 8-Player Smash for 2-2 1/2 hours (do Time or even Coin matches to accurately measure this; as the max limit setting aside from infinite is 99 minutes, you're gonna have to do more than one match)
- Items can be on or off
- You fight on a team with your amiibo
- All (the remaining six slots being) COMs are on Level 9
- Preferred (but not necessarily recommended) team format is 4 vs. 4
- Any stage EXCEPT Palutena's Temple as it's WAY too huge to even try to score KO's quickly (unless you set the Damage Ratio to 2.0 or something)
Of course, you could always do the normal 4-Player Smash, but you'll probably have to play longer. Again, this is assuming you're playing alone.
EDIT: So... this is just plain-out crazy: http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2014/12/weirdness_that_dual_wielding_samus_amiibo_is_worth_usd2500_in_the_mad_world_of_ebay
