IT HAS HAPPENED.

Amazon has dispatched Smash!

Tomorrow will be time to SETTLE IT IN SMASH.

when i get off college anyways
 
Goodnight guys, see many of you online in about 36 hours! I can't get the game until the middle of Friday.

It'll probably be around 41 for me.

I heard one Best Buy is having a midnight release of the game tonight.
Planning to call if mine will as well since they did Smash Fest back in June.

If I get it by midnight, I'll see you all at 12:30AM West. If not, I'll be around at Noon.
 
What's EDT supposed to mean anyway?
Eastern Douchebag Time?
I mean, come one, nobody knows that.

You know, moving the clock forward cause reasons that is pointless nowadays. Homer Simpson said it best.

Lousy farmers.

Eh, it might be friday when it drops on the eshop for you then man.

I have cousins in Bohol (if you're in manilla i'm assuming) waiting to grab smash via eshop out there, so you still have about... um, i'm guessing 18 hours or so since i'm here in LA and we get it at 9 pm PST.

Yeah, 12pm in Friday at local time.

Isn't 9pm PST pretty much 12am EST?
 
Strange. Maybe my internet switch is turned off, but right now I'm at work.
I'll have my lunch break in two hours, I'll look after it then.



You can bet your ass the eShop download rate will drop significantly a few minutes after Smash is up to download.
It's one of the lesser reasons I opted for retail this time.

Eh, it'll finish by 11 pm if I start at 9 at worst. Which is still an hour before the midnight release starts. soitsallguuuudhomie.jpg

btw here's my friend code if you guys want to get some rounds online this weekend:

4356-1489-0631

PM me if you added me. I might forget to see who did in this thread.

Well, I know that when I tried to download Animal Crossing New Leaf the server was getting flooded basically. Took me several hours (5+) to download completely and I started as soon as it was available.
Same with Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate.
 
Anyone has Smash yet? I got it yesterday, as it broke street date in Spain, and it's amazing. I'm trying to main Charizard, but his playstyle is really different from mine so I might shift back to Pikachu or maybe try Greninja. And is it me, or winged characters can't fly anymore?? I just can't fly with Charizard, at least. have not tried Pit or Metaknight yet
 
I got my copy yesterday. Ordered at buecher.de, was sent out on Monday. Then no update on Tuesday on the DHL tracking site. On Wednesday morning my game was at the destination parcel center - after that, no more updates. When I was at home, luckily it was in my mailbox. Very great game and tomorrow is holiday in Germany so I can play today the whole night (and the following 3 days also).
 
Just called my local shop, and they are sticking with he release date!

Sometimes being stickler to the rules is not a good thing :p
 
Might not get my game until next week :(, the place I've ordered from has weird pre-order/shipping policies and I didn't find that out until today when I contacted them. Oh well, still got plenty of stuff to play, but having it for the weekend would have been sweet!

DHL Tracking Site and Tracking app are crap :-D But my game has arrived yesterday too :-D

God bless David Hasselhoff for reuniting our country and giving us a holiday tomorrw :D
 
Amazon's such a fuck up with this. I think that most copies will get there on the 3rd if they ship around now, but I get the feeling that too many people will get it late.

So, why is Amazon really a fuck up if you think that most people will get it on the 3rd, or in other word, the actual release date for Europe sans Germany?

Or do I just read your post wrong?

is there any reason to keep the demo installed? does it transfer your coins and stats over?

After you have the full game and started it at least once (just to make sure) you can safely delete the demo version.
Your coins and stat carry over to the full version.
 
I understand some people still preordering off of Amazon, but the people who say things like "this is the second time they've done this to me" make no sense to me. You think you'd learn by now that Amazon never ever ships out games on time for preorders lol, or at the very least would just cancel your amazon preorder and get one from Gamestop instead. Unless some stores are hours away from people?

Depends on the country.
I'm in Germany and got the game yesterday when out actual release date is today.
Theatrythm FF Curtain Call was the same, got it a day before release.

I actually made many good experiences with Amazon.de when it comes to shipping.
The only bad experiences I made with them are their catalogue which they update maybe once in forever.

That's not actually true. At least for games I ordered in advance, I've had Amazon deliver them to me on release day many times; so many times, in fact, that when it doesn't happen, it's an unwelcome surprise. That's what is probably happening to a lot of people here. It does seem like Amazon has gotten worse with release-day delivery lately.

Lucky you! I live in Finland and have to wait until Saturday to get my copy ( if I am lucky ). Or Monday, which is more likely at this point. I need my Smash-fix! It has been too long.

...fuck. ugh, man it's probably going to be worse with smash then. hope not though.
 
Working on some of the challenges on the
third Challenge board
, and GOD some of them are hard or are just going to take a long-ass time. Sakurai definitely wasn't being completely truthful when he said the 3DS challenges are pretty simple. They certainly start off that way, but...

Challenge discussion follows, hiding behind spoiler text for those who'd rather not know:

At least I figured out a relatively easy trick for getting two and four KOs in Cruel Melee: use Marth, Ike, or anyone with a counter, spam that baby (with moderately good timing), and hope for the best. I was able to cheese out five KOs after about 10 minutes of trying.

Yeah using
Shulk and his Shield Monado art helped me a lot in getting that one. Just countered properly and managed to get that challenge done.
 
So my 3ds shoulder buttons suck ass. How the hell do I fix this.

They seriously don't work 90% of the time

Well, you can change the buttons in Smash, so basically what you can do is placing Block on X so you can jump with Y, block with X and grab with X+Y.

If your shoulder buttons really suck ass as much as the DS lite shoulder buttons did then sending your 3DS to Nintendo will probably be the only solution to your problem. :(
 
I just remembered I have to correct myself about internet lag:

There's a tiny amount of input lag. Like a few frames. It's noticeable but I got used to it very quickly. It's really not a big deal.
Some stuttering with 4-player online here and there, no biggie.
1-on-1 was almost always lag- and stutter-free for me.

This game's netcode > Skullgirls >>> UMvC3 >>>>>>>>> a 56k modem >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Brawl

Uhh...What about flare blitz as a recovery?

Also less than 24 hours!

Okay, seriously, where is your avatar from?
I know the commercial where the costume is from but I want that artwork in complete form. Seriously.

Because the bare minimum is that everyone get their release date delivery, not most.

Just a guess, but it looks like an edit of Peach's portrait from that Mario basketball game, in that case there's likely no full version.

Edited version of her mario hoops artwork.

Chizard has no problems recovering as long as he doesn't find himself diagonal away from the stage. His main downsides are his many aerials without auto-canceling, Up+B not hurting on the startup and you can't approch with Down+B anymore, since you lose your momentum. This makes Rock Smash more of a counter-move.

Eh I'm in a different country than the one I bought it in, so probably no. I totally forgot about controller remapping though, thanks a bunch. I no longer live in fear!
