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.

We don't even have anything called Best Buy here.

The only Toys R Us is pretty close to where I live, but if you live on the other side of the city, good luck. I don't know how many of those other cities have, though.

Or Best Buy (and Target, for that matter)... *sigh*

accord to the website, the Wii U version should be available... (watches clock) right now.

Was facing my brother with Lucario vs Fox the other day... am I the only one who finds it stupid that his (Lucario's) front-B is reflectable? -_-

Yes.

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:

businesswire.com wrote:

By signing up for an “amiibo Subscription Service,” subscribers will receive 10 pre-selected amiibo (including Mario, Pikachu, Donkey Kong, Fox and Yoshi) separated into three special Loot Crate shipments throughout the holiday season without ever having to leave their homes.

<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.

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.

Hm?
I actually use it as my grab on Lucario since I really can't get the hang of grabbing in the game (I normally hold my N3DS without my left finger on the L button), lol.

To me it's still more like a projectile than grab. But what do I know, I never use Lucario.

Force Palm (at least the default; no clue about the other two alternates since I don't like them) in these games is both a grab and a projectile (I main Lucario, btw).

Totally don't remember it being reflectable in Brawl. >_>
That's my bad I guess but that doesn't make it any less dumb, lol.

If it wasn't in Brawl, then it was probably because the extended range and power it gets when Lucario gets high damage needed to be nerfed somehow.

Checked the Wii U's Conquest and this week it's a "Holiday Hattack!" It;s Team Red Hat (Mario, Ness & Diddy Kong) against Team Green Hat (Link, Toon Link & Luigi)

Also if you want to add friends to the Wii U version, you have to add them from the Wii U menu I think, you have to check out the last few players you encountered in the game you last played, I got at least ONE friend >.> but if you want a battle, my Nintendo Network ID is: SoyokazeTsuki

10/10 would buy :^)

Only thing surprising is the lack of Fox. hahagetit

Rosalina is my main, btw.

Rofl, I got it.

Btw, people are saying Diddy Kong's OP and that he needs a nerf: http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2014/12/super_smash_bros_pro_players_tackle_the_problem_of_diddy_kong

That's just a public list, essentially a popularity contest; note that Mario is ranked #11 while Dr. Mario is #39. It will still take some time before accurate commentary can be given to tournament viability, especially when you consider things like custom moves and banned stages.

Incidentally, I have virtually no idea how to fight Sonic. I only see him online on occasion and his playstyle is so wildly different that I just wing it. Still not as bad as fighting good Lucarios and Little Macs.

‎

Lol I've never been a fan of these tier lists. Way too many factors too consider (and someone I know thinks I'm crazy for thinking so). I tend to have a lot of favourites that are no where near the top such as Ganondorf (who is my second or third favourite).

Even if he gets a nerf, players would then probably just find another character to rant on.



the fun thing is, Fox dominates Melee scene and everyone's somehow fine with that lol

because it's Fox

People rant on a ton of things all the time, it's just how humans are. Imo tier lists are just another thing that people rant about because "omg this dude's broken so i bet i can become uber pro by maining him wwww" is something that probably runs through some people's minds after seeing said tier lists...

What they fail to realise is the specifics of said character. It's like comparing it to other video games where you need mastery of x amount of characters, and even if character y is broken, if you're bad at it then you're still bad at it no matter how broken it may become.

So one of my friends showed me this... (I obviously don't recommend doing this, but it's still kinda interesting to watch.)

Mario forever <3

Following up on the previous video:

Gamebreaking at its finest. Even if there are ways to counter this, it needs to be fixed IMO.

1 of 2 things: 1-They nerf its UP B Special, 2-They input a new rule that penalizes any attempt of stalling the game, like Instant K.O. or something

Some interesting articles:

1. Reggie custom stage
2. You know amiibo are doing badly when... even Sakurai can't get the ones he wants
3. Interesting info found within the Wii U game
4. Falcon Potato

And for something that isn't SSB4-related: A Touhou SSB game coming to Wii U?

Figured I'd bump this thread back from the dead for mewtwo upcoming hype !! who's getting him and who isn't?

Anyone who registered both games will be getting it (doesn't have a gender), though I'm assuming codes won't be sent out till either next month or May.

Now we wait for Mew2King to pick him up and be the god of sm4sh

Place your bets now. What do you think will be its Final Smash:

1. Mega Mewtwo X
2. Mega Mewtwo Y
3. Something completely unexpected

I'm more hoping, than better on, for something unexpected. Really don't like the transformation thing. =/

The results are in: Mega Mewtwo Y is its Final Smash. Anyway, the Mewtwo DLC codes will be sent out on April 15, but for everyone else, you can purchase it on April 28 for $4.99/€4.99/500¥ for both games, or less for just one.

Lucas is also confirmed to be DLC.

wow Mega Mewywo Y I want to see ^_^

Just when I thought I couldn't get more hyped.

To those who registered both games, check your email now for the Mewtwo DLC codes. They WILL expire, so use them ASAP!

EDIT: What fans found out about the recent update.

So uh. Possible info on new characters.


So what do you think? I wasn't really expecting Ryu and it'll probably be shown off at E3 or something. Still, I know Street Fighter is a pretty big series, and Nintendo x Capcom has a pretty good relationship. I don't have any quarrels with this choice if it is real.

Anyways, I played a few matches against some Mewtwo on my 3DS, and it's a pretty cool character. I really need to get the Wii U version someday soon.. (when I get a replacement charger for my wii u gamepad.. dumb dogs)

So apparently someone/a group found YouTube upload info on SSB Wii U which looks similar to Mario Kart 8's system.

EDIT: Seems like Sakurai will be announcing something himself on June 14.

FOR REAL?

In all seriousness, Ryu will be as powerful as Little Mac, designed for ground CQC.

I sure can't wait for Etika's clickbait video of him screaming for 10 minutes. Ryu is literally Little Mac. Good thing I don't play For Glory.

I was expecting a Metsu Hadoken to be his Final Smash, Shin Shoryuken looks like a big risk taking special, kind of like Little Mac's.

For those who are curious about today's leaks and want to see more of it in detail via gameplay footage: http://nintendoeverything.com/footage-o ... nd-stages/

Lots of good stuff coming and the wii u I was using got an 160-1400 error, I hope I can get it fixed on time

Black Guile.

Ryu seems a little bit more technical and thus more useful than Little Mac. (and ultimately casuals are going to spam his specials at the most inapropriate times in FG)
Given that you can additionaly input the original directional commands to perform a stronger version of those specials - it'll add another layer of depth in his arsenal.
At least you can controll how far you can travel with his side-b and it locks at edges when using the ground version, so it's pretty foolproof.

He also can cancel out his normals into specials which would open up more options for Ryu to combat certain strategies + Focus Attack (Dash Cancel) is a thing.

Crimmi wrote:

Shinku Hadoken is probably good for crowd control and racking up damage fast to kill them with the many kill moves that he has, while Shin Shoryuken literaly is Little Macs K.O Punch: Doesn't kill at 0% but does so extremely early - might kill at 0% at stages with low ceilings like Halberd.

Also it looks like Ryu might have limited options offstage and a difficult time dealing with gimps + his arials only look "okay" at best.
Certainly miles better than Little Macs, but not good enough to rely on them.

Anyways, it's super strange to see Ryu in a Super Smash Bros. game but i'm hyped AF to bring fighting streets to FG.

On another note, Nintendo is giving people who have uploaded those leaked videos a copyright strike, even the linked videos here have been removed - here's a mirror but i highly doubt it'll last another 24h




It must suck very hard to be Sakurai, if all your hard work and effort you've funneled into something to create an epic reveal is ruined by one simple person who either happens to be working at the same team (worse; someone who've worked directely under Sakurais hands) but broke NDA or someone who just knows computers and stuff.
Eitherway, i feel like it ruins the fun of the job he has - when the ability of ripping the curtains on something people have been looking forward to is taken away from you.
It sucks all the joy of continuing to even make announcements anymore in my opinion.

Man, thinking about this just makes me feel even worse for Sakurai.

On a completely different note:

So.

Ryu, Roy, and Lucas are out.

Lovely.
