Just won my first online battle. A bit of lag not too bad.

But most of all: Capt Falcon is here to stay!

 

[J@hranimo]

Mine the best go team green!

Oh so that's why it has a green border...

 

[TheBaldEmperor]

Are the Gamestops only opening at midnight for those that preordered or can anyone walk in and buy a copy?

 

[Exotoro]

So hey, me and a couple friends wanted to set up a tournament but we're not exactly sure how we keep the record straight on who actually won; we all live really far away from each other so we're gonna have to fight online. None of us have capture cards so how do we do this?

 

[sti4thewin]

Yeah, she's a Marth that is actually playable in lag.

I'm impressed with anybody who can actually tipper properly under lag because I sure as hell can't. So I'll probably be playing Lucina a lot more than Marth.

Like c'mon they could of at least changed her up tilt or smash. Everything is the same.

 

[Beelzebufo]

It probably depends if they have enough stock for both. If they do im sure it's fine.

 

[OricWindstar]

Just got my copy! Unfortunately can't say from where, but I think I snagged one of the last copies anyway. If anyone wants to jump online, let me know! Just did 3 For Glory matches and had no lag whatsoever.

google chat conference calls? have a judge and the 2 people battling get together on google chat or skype.

[X05]

[Out_Of_Ammo]

Just played like 5 hours non-stop. This game is so good! I'm going to add some of you guys to play online together. If anyone wants to add me, my code is 1048-9498-3847.

She was originally going to be an alt costume.

I remeber those last minutes of the trailer, pure hype ;-;

Haha, we'll see about that.

I'm so glad to hear that (the Captain Falcon part). Can't wait to knee everyone in the face.

[ratcliffja]

I just closed the demo for the last time.

I Played 12:37 of a demo.

A DEMO.

My god.

I've played for 14:12. It's my 5th most played 3DS title behind Kid Icarus: Uprising, Zelda: ALBW, StreetPass Mii Plaza, and Pokemon Y (which I've played for 177 hours... wow).

It's been a long time since I went to a GameStop launch, but if they have excess stock outside of preorders, which they most likely have, they are happy to sell it to you if you show up before midnight and pay it off. That way you can just line up with the others, go in, and pick up your copy/guide/w/e at midnight.

 

[jnWake]

I really wish they kept the Mario Kart 8 thing going and made communities for Smash, or at least lobbies.

Considering MK8 communities are linked to Miiverse and that Smash 3DS blocks Miiverse... I'd fault 3DS limitations yet again!

I have some hope that Wii U will have better online options.

 

[PreyingShark]

Like c'mon they could of at least changed her up tilt or smash. Everything is the same.

Her upsmash can actually kill from the ground.

I think that alone is a huge change from Marth.

 

[sti4thewin]

What does shulks neutral b do? What does the forms even do? I don't notice a difference while changing them

 

[Nudull]

Just bought pizza and snacks for later tonight. Lets go~! :3

 

[Lunar15]

I mean... did anything lead you guys to think that Lucina was anything other than exact copy of Marth with the power spread evenly through her sword?

It's kind of funny: I feel like Lucina is the clone most people are completely fine with, yet she's easily the laziest clone.

 

[SmithnCo]

Depending on the buff it can change speed, defense, etc.

 

[Salsa]

I'm not

:3

 

[Icelandic_Jazz]

It hasn't really registered in my head yet that I'm going to be playing Smash Bros 4 tonight.

 

[ffdgh]

They're buffs and nerfs.

翔 (Jump): Higher jumps, lower defense. Green
疾 (Speed): Faster movement, lower jumps, weaker attacks. Blue
盾 (Shield): Higher defense, lower jumps, weaker attacks, slower movement. Yellow
斬 (Buster): Stronger attacks, weaker launch ability, lower defense. Purple
撃 (Smash): Stronger launch ability, weaker attacks, lower defense against launching. Red

 

[SuperSah]

Registered in mine i'll be playing it tomorrow evening.

My hype is through the roof.

Send me a PM if you add me. Hopefully I can try some online battles tonight. Its times like this that make me wish the Nintendo Network had an actual invite system.

Because she's probably the most popular character in Awakening and people aren't about to look a gift horse in the mouth.

Well Sakurai did say she started out as an alt costume. His justification to turn her into a full character is obviously contrived, but that's ok. I never had any great expectations for her anyway, and she takes the one thing I disliked about Marth and axes it.

 

[Ibuki]

I feel dumb for asking, but the eshop release happens in about 6 hours right?

 

[SmithnCo]

yes, for NA

Lucina's legit, and I'm happy enough to have more women in Smash.

 

[FleetingFlowAir]

A DEMO.

My god.

I have about 22 hours in the special demo. Funny thing is that even though I have the special demo, the number of times that I have played it up until today is 30, the limit the regular demo has. Lol

 

[ratcliffja]

It hasn't really registered in my head yet that I'm going to be playing Smash Bros 4 tonight.

I doubt I'll play tonight even if I do somehow find a way to transfer to my new SD card tonight (I have to find an SD card reader first). If I do manage to download it tonight, I'll probably just wait until tomorrow morning on the bus to play, as it will take forever to download, and I know I'll get far too little sleep tonight if I try to play.

 

[sti4thewin]

They're buffs and nerfs.

Red makes smashes stronger
Purple increases damage
Yellow buffs defense
Blue makes you faster
Green makes you jump higher

Can't remember the nerfs.

Oh wow thanks

 

[Dimmle]

noooooo that trailer is nearing
ten years old nooooo where is my youth

 

[SuperSah]

Off-topic: I bought some leather Converse and 25 Stabilo fineliners todays.

Yes, the Smash hype has brought me to my knees.

 

[PKrockin]

21273 coins, 425 matches, 26 hours

My final records of the demo.

I mean... did anything lead you guys to think that Lucina was anything other than exact copy of Marth with the power spread evenly through her sword?

It's kind of funny: I feel like Lucina is the clone most people are completely fine with, yet she's easily the laziest clone.

Every other clone until now had moves with different knockback angles, speed, physics, and such.

But Lucina is a waifu so let's go ballistic on Dark Pit and Doc.

 

[C.Olimar788]

Lucina may be a (ridiculously) lazy clone, but at least she's a character that a lot of people really wanted. I definitely would have preferred her to have at least a few moves to herself, but maybe in Smash 5?

 

[Foshy]

I *think* I somewhat fixed my problem by giving the 3DS a DHCP reservation. Seems to be a bit better now, got a few smooth matches in.

 

[mStudios]

wat

 

[Anilusion]

Can I buy this on the eshop in europe in 10 minutes?

 

[MadLaughter]

Hey guys, sorry for the noobery that is about to follow, but:

I live in California, and play to buy the game digitally. I haven't bought anything digitally for my 3DS yet, and I saw someone earlier recommend that I put the cash on the system early? Is that just because of server issues?

Also saw someone else say that in North America it'll be available in 6 Hours. Is that true?9 PM PST? (Only looking for clarification since it sounds too good to be true). Thanks!

 

[twothunder]

I've been playing some single player to unlock characters.
Already got 4 of them.
Also had to download updates already.

 

[J@hranimo]

God that trailer was super hype! O.O

 

[El Topo]

Played a few matches online, most of the time without much stuttering/lag. I expected worse actually.

 

[Chaotic-Strike]

Just be 12am already.
