It's a three-tie between the Wii Fit Trainer, Mega Man, & Rosalina.
Wow, not only is the gamestop closest to me doing a midnight launch, but both of the two gamestops close to me back home are doing one too! Looks like I'll be set for the Wii U launch.
Little Mac! He was actually only my 2nd most wanted newcomer, but his actual gameplay style outshines Megaman (my #1 most wanted newcomer) for me. I can't wait to punch some shit out with him!

Wait so the gamestop near me says its doing a midnight launch, but the store's hours say it closes at 8pm? Do gamestops usually stay open late for these...?
I dunno, I find that the fact that this is happening with Smash is not the least bit surprising

Make A jump, B attack, and X special because that's the right button layout to have.
The'll close and then re-open at about 10 usually.

They close, then reopen at around 10 or so for these launches, from my experience.

That's a lot of gamestops during midnight releases D:
Wish I weren't lazy/buying digital or I'd go. Love midnight releases

Gamestops always close at their designated time but open for midnight releases for one hour.

My order is still in "processing" phase. Amazon, you so crayyyzee.
Just picked up my copy for a Game midnight launch. I was the only one there for Smash and I looked like a goof with my Hyrule Warriors scarf but I don't even care, I GOT SMASH. HYPE.
Time to dive in and unlock all the characters I want to play. I'll see you all online once I brush up on my skills a bit!

So... if I get there at 10 will I be able to get it? Or will I end up waiting until midnight? Sorry, never done a midnight launch before.

Still have to wait til midnight
14 hours to go in Australia.......
It's okay. Once it's released, a delay of a few hours will be soon forgotten. Unlike the SMTIV-calibre Brawl release date.

Call your GameStop and they should give you details. Like for example my store is opening at 11:30 PM.
Also they cannot sell until midnight is the policy. However, you can reserve it beforehand.

What else even comes out tonight? Dammit I want that scarf...
In my experiences, they get ready around 10 or 11 but depending on the store, they may or not not open and let you walk inside freely. It's either that or you wait in line for a copy. So.... it depends.

After like 5 hours with the game and some charcaters unlock...
Im not really feeling it. Sorry Shulk.
Im an avid smash player and even won some tourneys in my country during the melee days. I do like brawl a lot also.
The controls are simply, atrocious. I even changed them to see if it suits me better (at least this one let me changed them, not like the demo). Nope, the 3DS stick is just horrible to play smash. And i already feel its getting a little bit stuck, probably because of the time playing the demo with a friend, thats really not a good sign.
Ive played all the modes, and seems really lacking compared to brawl. Smash Run is not that fun, and the other two modes are simply classic and all star with a new look (that in its defense I really like).
The graphics, yeah they are pretty good for a portable, but not really what im looking for in a smash game (it was one of the things I always wanted to look forward to in a smash, the next gen models of my favourite nintendo characters). Its like im playing melee again, and thats not a good thing in this case.
This is a special negative for spaniards. The dub is beyond HORRENDOUS. like Brawl dub was already bad, Nintendo decided to get the same FUCKING guy (probably a shitty german translator at NoE trying to speak in spanish, I can assure you he is NOT professional), making the same mistakes from the past (calling ike like he was saying iker casillas, Captain as Cap-taIN, etc...) and thats not all! Oh no! This time he also "dubs" Lucario (im pretty sure it was pasable in brawl, here is abysmal) and Male WiiFit Trainer. Oh a Female wiifit trainer seems to be her tranlator girlfriend at NoE, lets give them a big clap to the couple! And then, something divine happens. Sonic is dubbed by his usual (new, I still think the old is better but he is not that bad) professional voice actor. And he does a great job that i prefer to his english voice. What the fuck happened here? Why pay a professional voice actor and then let 2 fucking amateurs do the rest, and the most mindblowing thing is that EVERYONE hate it in brawl, and they did it again! Oh oh, but thats not it, as a final gift someone at NoE decided to change Robin's name to the atrocious Daeren (becuase that sounds so unisex!) or some shit like that. What the fuck, im pretty sure that name doesnt even appear in awakening, why. fucking. change it.
And I even like my games, series and movies dubbed in my language (becuase most of the time they do it right) for gods sake, so imaginge how bad this dub is. Where is the excellent dub we got with Starfox 64 3DS and Professor Layton vs Phoenix Wright! It was done by the same company! Why cant they do this one right?
Another problem that i have is that you cant hear characters voices during gameplay and the victory screen, they sound so loooow quality. And I went to the options menu (to see if I could change the language lol) and tinkered with the sound options, you still hear shit, headphones included. kid Icarus was perfect, so i know the 3DS can do better.
Apart from all this negatives, positives are, I like Little Mac and Estela (rosalina). Zero Suit smaus controls really cool now also. Sadly I think I need to get a better controller to have fun with Shulk and other characters I really wanted to play though.
EDIT Oh yeah, the only thing I havent tested yet is online.

The Brawl delay in release dates was just the worst.

Haha, I'm honored my first loss to you was at the hands of a Falcon Punch.
Your thoughts are pretty much in line with mine. The controls still don't feel right to me, the graphics are good for a handheld but lackluster overall, and the modes are really lacking. Holding out for the Wii U version.
Shulk is weird, but I think he takes a lot of getting used to. Once you do, he has some potential.

I am glad Mega Man is not as weak as he is in the NES games, otherwise he would be F-tier. The music is amazing though!
Nice touch giving ROB his Western colors as his US/EU default.

Yeah he didn't play that differently than I normally do except that he reads a lot better than I can... and I'm terrible when it comes to playing off-stage.
