Didn't nintendo put the game up a couple hours early on the Japanese eshop? Sure would be nice if they did that for the other releases too.

Japan does that often. Everywhere else? Nope.

 

[Mr-Joker]

Ahhh the game is almost here I can't wait.

Though I will be sad because Elsa will never be in the game even though I have created a perfect move set for her.

Seeing as the game doesn't have an intro, there's no point in doing so. Perhaps the curse will be lifted with the Wii U version.

Oh what? Urgh starting to dislike the 3DS version more and more, Sakurai is damn lucky that I am buying two copies.

 

[PKrockin]

Despite their advances in online play, Nintendo still hasn't figured out voice chat.

Somehow they got voice chat right with Metroid Prime Hunters a full 8 years ago and yet the defining game mode of Smash 3DS isn't even online.

 

[autobzooty]

Good game.
This is my last race.
Good luck!

IM USING TILT CONTROLS

 

[Fidelis Hodie]

Jigglypuff can crouch under tons of moves and Rest punish like she could in Melee

Oh my god Sakurai, why. WHY. (It's kinda hype tho)

Oh hell yes

return to us Hungrybox! Smash 4 ever!

 

[AdanVC]

1. Day. Left! Hyyype.

Spoiler

Also, it's nice to be back on Smash-GAF :')

 

[georly]

Oh, so he's duck hunt in the US, not duck hunt duo, ok. What language is duck hunt duo?

 

[Hatchtag]

I wish the 3DS had voice chat. Cause like, how it is now, I just kinda start to think about what the other player is thinking. Makes me think they think they're better than me. Fuck them. Always ends up making me salty.

 

[TheSlySoul]

PAL only so far. NoE strikes again!

 

[MaverickHunterAsh]

I'm so glad this game is finally coming out for everyone else. I've already put more than 50 hours into the North American version and I still can't get enough, and I'm looking forward to playing some of you! It's just so good and a clear indicator of how untouchably incredible the Wii U version is going to be.

So what are you peep's top 3 favorite series that have had playable reps in Smash?

Mine are

1. Metal Gear
2. Mario
3. Metroid

And that's pretty much my top 3 series ever too. Was pretty amazing when they were all in.....*flashes of pain*

1. Mega Man
2. The Legend of Zelda
3. Mario

Is this new? Zelda and Sheik are different characters due to 3DS limitations.

I prefer them to be separate, anyway.

I like how that's blamed on the 3DS's limitations, but it's a change that's unilaterally for the better. 3DS's limitations for the win!

I'm sad Kirby is low tier, Sakurai why did you do this to your child?

Why you or anyone else is taking a tier list as gospel this early is so beyond me I can't even... dude, just play it for yourself and see how you feel. Kirby is far from "low-tier" or even lacking in this. He was my main in Brawl and he's basically like he was in that game (amazing) but buffed even further, and I've been tearing shit up with him in this game both online and off.

Just play the game for yourself and decide if a character is good for you or not on your own terms. If I listened to all the idiots out there calling Mega Man low tier, I never would have picked him up for myself with the intention of getting seriously competitive with him and discovered how beastly he can be in the right (willing to learn) hands. Play who you like and MAKE them good by improving your own game. For a lot of people, anyway, "low tier" really just means "too hard to learn."

Do we know if Duck Hunt is Duck Hunt or Duck Hunt Duo in NA yet?

Yes. It's Duck Hunt.

So this happens when you do a smash attack on a starman, I love it.

Amazing. Even after all the time I've spent with this game, I've never seen that. There really is no game designer like Sakurai. He's so laser-focused on awesome little details like this... if and when he retires, it'll be a sad day for the industry indeed.

Ash, I always love your Impressions of the game. Can't wait for Friday (Thursday night, hopefully).

 

[Beelzebufo]

Yo, speaking of that tier list...

I know its way too early to take anything seriously, but anyone know why Yoshi and Lucario are so far up? Haven't seen many people use them much.

 

[Masked Man]

You were Matt? (マッ&#12488

Yep, that was me! I was playing a little before work when I saw Makai and Joe were online, so I thought I'd play a few rounds with them. Unfortunately, my game froze just after I delivered the final KO Uppercut and the "GAME SET" message appeared. It then shut down because of an "error" and I had to restart the game. :/

Thankfully it sounds like the other two were unaffected, but it was really strange! At the very least, I can now say that I have experienced Joe's FAir Rush firsthand and it is vicious. Good game, man!

So this happens when you do a smash attack on a starman, I love it.

Oh my GODDDDDD. I love this game, and I love Sakurai. <3

 

[Neoxon]

Remember that story about the shit-ton of Smash 3DS copies? Yeah, there's more to it.

The reason why this was the most heart-breaking day of my life so far was because said SUV dropped 5 or so copies of Smash on the street because the car's trunk for was acting up (from what I saw). I tried to run to it, but a yellow Corvette (who was right behind the SUV) ran over all the copies w/ some cars that followed. I couldn't make this shit up even if I tried. ;_;

It's a Japanese tier list which there's more people playing than what you see US streamers playing. So people like aMSa and stuff that aren't streaming. More characters being used that are otherwise ignored etc etc.

Seriously, though, I'm not sure if I could keep my cool after seeing that. Did you, um, check to see if any of it was usable? Would that have been sad looking?

:/ damn sorry to hear that. So close yet so far. I'm going to have to get my copy after work on friday so no smash break for me. it's going to be a long day...

 

[PKGaming]

Oh, so he's duck hunt in the US, not duck hunt duo, ok. What language is duck hunt duo?

Duck Hunt Duo is such a better name though... I don't get why they'd change it for PAL regions, but not 'Murica.

 

[anotherVegan]

Amazing. I just want that to appear whenever I use a Smash attack on anyone. Ness is even more awesome.

One or more of the copies probably would have been fine had this happened.

 

[Neoxon]

I would have followed the SUV in question, but I was scared of the possibility that the driver was involved in some shady shit & was armed. I'm pretty sure he dropped more copies along the way, it's just that they were too far off & I didn't want to follow because of the mentioned reason

, plus I had a lunch date w/ a friend of mine & I didn't want to keep her waiting any longer

If you're not making this up, one of those carts probably survived. 5 tiny 3DS carts (in case, surrounded by the hard plastic holder) vs. a few cars? There's a good chance one was completely unscathed.

 

[Neoxon]

Not in Texas, where there are as many big heavy trucks as there are weeds in unattended Animal Crossing towns. While they weren't shattered, most of them were either cracked on the outside or, in the case of the 1 I tried, had internal damage.

You only opened one case?

The cases are flimsy, thin plastic with holes in them. The cartridges are made of sturdier stuff.

By the way, please don't spam 8 720p-res screens worth of a gif.
