We're almost at the end now. Any thoughts, feelings, regrets, anyone?
I just realized that very soon I'll be unable to check the pic of the day when I wake up for the first time since I've lived in this house, and that's kind of weird to me. It's only been a little more than a year, but it seems like so much longer. I'm glad I was able to make such great friends here on NeoGAF with what short time we had, it's been a wild ride.
 
2v2 for fun was confirmed ages ago, you just can't play it with a friend. =/

And they're limited to timed to 2 minutes, you're better off playing Teams in With Friends where you can turn on friendly fire and mess with other settings (like stocks) and such.
 
Have been playing a couple hours and my right thumb hurts. Am not using my 3DS much at all so I can't quite remember this happening before. The shoulder buttons just make it so I have to cramp my fingers a bit I think.
 
Finally tomorrow is the day.

Enables the online gameplay, and some minor things.

They needed to patch in online gameplay? Wat?

I pretty much jumped on the hype train two weeks ago, forgive me. lol And that's dumb. Oh well, I guess my friend and I will have to make some new friends to play with.

I haaate how there is a 2v2 mode but you can't party up with a friend to match make. Ridiculous.

You and me both. I know I'm not the only one who's mentioned this, but this was my go-to game mode in Playstation All-Stars.
 
Is there 2v2 "For Fun" though? I never actually found a confirmation or denial when I went searching for an answer earlier this week.

To be honest I don't remember. i remember seeing it in For Glory but I didn't check For Fun. I will keep you posted.

EDIT: I'm slow, just saw all the responses
 
No Smash for me today thanks to Shopto/Royal Fail. Was hoping to enjoy a full day of Smash a day early since I remember Shopto being good but evidently not anymore ¬_¬

This is the first time they have ever failed to get something pre-launch day for me. I'm surprised.

It will have to happen multiple times for me to decide they're no longer good.

Typically how these games work is you can play online on the latest version and Japan has had updates since release. Namely to fix the Peach for glory glitch (using the vegetable at the start of the match would you get banned for 24 hours for bringing items into a for glory match).

IIRC v1.0.1 opened For Glory and displayed conquest.

Kind of related Amazon only dispatched mine this morning. The last Friday release I got from them they dispatched on Wednesday. This almost suggests everything is sending them out a bit late...

Last time I ordered through them was 2 years ago, and I think I remember the deliveries coming on release date more often than not which is why I stopped using them since the only reason I used them beforehand was receiving the game a day or two early, or for exclusive extras. It's my day off, so needless to say I'm a little jealous of people who've got it early right now. Will have to try that Gameseek UK place another time since I saw someone on here receive it Wednesday.

Same. I typically only play coop games online. I don't see how they have this mode and no way for you to play with a friend and match up against another pair. Huge oversight and big disappointment.
 
What I feared has become a reality, I kind of enjoyed using a Brawler Mii, you win this round bobbleheaded freak that looks vaguely like me.

Hmm, a bunch of people I know including myself got their copy today from Shopto while another friend of mine didn't despite having the same recorded dispatch time, it's odd.
 
Still dunno if I should go to the midnight tonight or not. Only because something came up so I'll have to be up early now.
You can survive on 2 hours of sleep. Or only play the game for an hour. Or something. Probably. Give in to the hype!

Really I think midnight launches are a ton of fun, especially if it's something you care about. Hanging out in line with like-minded fans is nicer, and probably even more fun when everyone has the demo. And there's something great about that feeling of getting home in the middle of the night, and playing your shiny new anticipated game for a bit before just passing out until morning.
 
This is probably your last chance to get a completely new Smash game for the next 5 years. I don't think this is gonna be that fun compared to PM and Melee (and even inferior to the Wii U version), but now is not the time to worry about it. Get excited about Smash 3DS! By the time the Wii U version comes out, these characters and their movesets will be kind of old news, all very familiar. This is the chance to get hyped and jump into a new game while it's still kinda new.

Don't know that I'll grind out the customs for now... but I'll probably just play the game a bunch and see what I get. I'll probably make a point to get customs for characters I play, is all.

It's hard to get excited about it just based on my gaming habits (and general preference for not-portable games), and it doesn't help that I didn't really like the demo much entirely due to the 3DS controls and the tiny screen. Plus, it would be nice if it felt fresh when the "real" game comes out rather than having it feel like old hat because of the appetizer, so to speak.

But at the same time I'd be pretty disappointed to pass on the 3DS version only to realize I need it to take advantage of some of the features I am looking forward to, or that I could have used it to get the grinding out of the way in advance. Plus I have like 9 days off starting Sunday.

I dunno. It's Smash. I probably won't be able to resist buying it all the way through November, so I guess I might as well get it around launch. Worst case scenario, I can probably get most of my money back by selling it in a few months if it comes down to it. (This is more like caving than excitement).

I love my hands too much to play the 3ds version. I played the demo for a few matches the first day it was released and stopped.

Waiting for the Wii U version.
 
Man, so freaking excited for tonight. I can't believe it's finally here. One of those releases that feels monumental, something special. Few games get me this hyped.
 
5 Euros from the NN Premium promotion - ready
40 Euros on eShop - ready

I'm ready for tonight. 8 hours from now for me (at least, starting the download...who knows when it'll end :lol ).
 
heres a question for people that have played the game or have watched enough to get a sense of the answer, haha:

How does Samus compare to her Melee / Brawl counterparts?

Because Melee Samus was great and Brawl Samus was not so great. Kinda bad, actually.
 
Due to recent Royal Mail changes the delivery cards now say wait 24 hours rather than 4.

I'm still going after work to try and pick it up (on the presumption that a card has been left at my place).

And I'll sort some PMs out for the weekend super friend code frenzy excellent adventure cereal sandwich.

That just sounds great lol
 
I somehow managed to only rack up 15 hours on the 3DS demo. I've been saving myself for the full game. It took lots of self control.

:(

I get where you're coming from... I'd rather have the Wii U version feel new when it comes out, I'd rather not play Smash on a handheld, and it'll be pretty disappointing if unlocks can't be transferred (and it's weird that we don't know). I just kinda gloss over all that and tell myself that's it's Smash Bros. I've always been excited, so I'll keep being excited. Even now that I'm pretty pessimistic in general.

But I can't force you to be excited. I hope you're able to get into it. With over a week off, it definitely seems like a good use of the time, unless you have something else lined up to play/do. If you really aren't feeling it, I guess skipping makes sense though.
 
Man, this threads moving awfully slow considering that a new installment of super smash bros is releasing for most of the western world in less than 24 hours.

A lot of people in this thread actually got the game already. Probably won't see them for a couple days.
