Always character dependent, just gotta figure out what moves have high knockback and work well as kill moves. I will say generally back air is usually a fairly common good one, but it still depends.

They better have the coins too. Not getting at midnight gotta be worth something.
They didn't do a midnight for the Wii U either. Hoping the Gamestop I preordered the Wii U version at does midnight launch.

My copy of Smash is less than 200 miles away, mmmmmm.
Too bad I have to work tomorrow. Oh well, I can play smash after 7pm.

Same here. I'm tempted to just cancel it and download digitally at this rate...

I'm sure the eshop will be fine tonight. I remember getting Pokemon just fine when it came out and that game had similar hype levels.

Same...planning on going to Walmart and picking up a copy.
My concern is less about the eShop going down, and more about the download times being really long when everyone gets it at once. I am impatient!
Added ya as well, my FC is 2363-5644-5707

Those with past experiences downloading digital, how long does it take on average to download a game?

I've purchased both Pokemon and Animal Crossing right when they launched on the eShop and had no issues.

I live in PST time zone(Washington State) - does anyone know when the first second I will be able to download it? 
My fiance and I are quite excited for the game.

Should be 9PM PST. Which is awesome since I can play a little before going to bed (assuming their servers cooperate).
What a match, thanks!

Already got to play a couple of matches with our good ol' OricWindstar earlier this afternoon! While it's true that I won both, it's also true that I had the unfair advantage of having played it for two weeks already, and despite that, they weren't blowouts. I expect he'll be regularly beating me after a few days of practice/acclimation.
Whatever Mexican retailer that is clearly knows who the most hype newcomer is. Awesome. <3
I've been doing the same thing for the past couple of weeks!
The soundtrack is so good it's ridiculous, which just means the Wii U version's soundtrack is going to open dimensional rifts to other realities it's gonna be so good.
Boom Stomper from Kid Icarus: Uprising.
As of now, I have 554 trophies... I'm getting there. Trophy Rush is really fun, but once you have this many trophies, you only get one or two new ones each (good) run... if you're lucky.
Every character on the official site minus Lucina and the Mii Fighters. (You have to first create a Mii Fighter in the Custom menu for their slot to appear on the CSS.)
Man, that sucks and I really don't see how this is happening to people. I've put almost 60 hours into Smash 3DS and my Circle Pad feels exactly like it did before I started playing it: fine. I'm starting to wonder if there's a batch of systems out there with especially fragile Circle Pads... I can't believe everyone with a broken Circle Pad is playing the game that violently. Anyway, my condolences.
Mega Man, of course. But because that answer's almost cheating for me by this point, I'll say that besides Mega Man, it's kind of a three-way tie between Palutena, Robin, and Pac-Man.
midnight release here in Mexico.

Barely played the game 15 minutes and...well...fuck. I could cry. Was planning on having some sick games at work tomorrow too.

It's largely dependent on the character you're playing and what moves can KO. Each character has certain moves that can KO and others don't have reliable KO options, you need to figure those moves out on your own (or you can ask people here, like myself, I'm sure we can help you in that regard). I suggest reading up on smash mechanics on www.ssbwiki.com and navigating through there to find out how the game works at a deeper level. You can also always go to www.smashboards.com and try to sift through the subforums to find threads that go into even more detail on match-ups and stuff but I'd recommend starting at ssbwiki for the mechanics and sometimes the wiki even links directly to Smashboards threads anyway. The wiki is easier to navigate, as well.
For videos, I have three suggestions for you to watch:
Wak's Advanced How to Play (it's got a lot of Melee exclusive stuff but there's quite a bit covered in there that is still very relevant to Smash 4 -- you just need to know what's exclusive to Melee and separate that out from what's still possible in Smash 4).
CosmoWright's Melee Introduction video (Although this doesn't follow a specific set order of things there's a lot of good things he talks about in this video that I absolutely recommend you watching, again there's some Melee exclusive stuff but much of the broader terms and explanations do still apply to Smash 4).
Fundamentals of Melee (Again, another Melee-specific video but this one actually details the basics that apply, generally, to all Smash games. If there's anywhere you should start first among these three videos, it's probably this one, then Cosmo's, and then Wak's. But feel free to check them out in any order).
Someone should save this post for the future when more people ask in the future because I'm not going to type it all again lol.
Oh, you can also check out UltraChen's First Attack which covered Super Smash Bros. Melee and goes over some of the basics as well here if you'd prefer that (it's pretty long though BUT it does provide great insight and explains a lot, especially in high level play).
I hope this post helps (and that you see it because the last person who asked about this didn't even respond back to me telling me they're going to check the stuff out D: )
I know you by your old Snake one. I, to, used to have a Snake one. This one:

Ah yes I remember that. Something told me I needed to add you even with your Indy avatar. Guess it's in our blood.
I hate my current avatar so much.

Open it at midnight eastern time. Or do like me and refresh this thread around that time until someone says it's up.

He is right. Like I sually love good spanish dubs, but this one is that atrocious.
Yes by changing your system language. I still like playing the rest of my games in spanish so having to enter the system menu to change everytime I change a game is a hassle.
Worst of all, I prefer names like Estela to Rosalina, so its not like it is a total perfect change.

You'll have to reload the app if it's in sleep mode for too long. I'd just launch it and keep it active a bit before it goes live.

Probably depends on traffic plus your download speed. On my connection, I downloaded Donkey Kong Country Returns in about 45 minutes (at roughly 17 Mbps). DKCR is just a little bit smaller than Smash Bros. 3DS. Given how popular Smash is, it's likely there will be heavy eshop traffic at midnight, so it'll probably take a bit longer than that to download.
Going to buy it before tomorrow test, I was thinking if I should buy it here in mexico (60$~) or wait to usa.. but man ive put 23 hours in the demo alone, and recently i changed my job so now i have 1 or 2 hours free between school and work some days.
I cant wait for it, need more hype tough!!! someone suggest me a way to get hyped!

Haha, every time I see your avatar I'm like "how dare he!" but then I remember it's you.
I remember dead Snake, to t. But at least that one was subtle.
GimR or aka vgbootcamp is going to stream the English version of Smash 4 3DS while using a Gamecube controller adapter at midnight EST!
Really interested to see how it works and how much of a difference it makes playing it lol.

I hope some of you guys are gonna be streaming when it comes out! I wanna see some english language character unlocking.
Listening to the soundtrack to pass time until twitch explodes with streams, it's so good.
Well that's something at least. Hopefully the Wii U version will let you switch languages whenever you want, like Melee (and maybe Brawl?).
It's different for every character. Some will dominate in the air, while others are kings on the ground (see: Little Mac). I suggest trying every character, on your way down from Mario to Sonic I'm sure you'll notice how vastly different some fighters can get, especially so for the newcomers this time around.
