Well well, mister fancy-pants, I hope you're wearing your matching sweater today, or you'll be cut down like the ugly tree you are.
So is this available for timezones other than Eastern right now? Don't have access to my Wii U at the moment.

This is the only thing that bugs me about the game. I wish it would save a default profile or controls. Guess it won't be much of an issue when my GC adapter gets here.

Otherwise the game is amazing. Just bring back Snake and his music and it's perfect.

There were no adapters and only enough amiibos to cover pre-orders.

Taking me a while to get used to the Wii U Pro controller. I find myself rarely using the second stick. Glad that the Wii U version has the 1.0.4 improvements by default. Dumpstered ZSS and Greninja and buffed Ike and Shulk. :)

At first I thought it was silly that people were making a big deal out of getting the gc controller but after playing with the pro controller for a while I can honestly say it just doesnt feel natural.

Ill probably ended up dropping the dough on that usb adapter and a new controller :/

Oh man spectator mode is massive payouts right now. No one has any wins so it is all x10 winnings, and after a while it was repeating matches I remembered the results to.

Are the trophy descriptions the same in the Japanese and English versions? Surely they cant all be exactly the same... right :stare:

The PAL translation seems a little closer to the original JP descriptions but a lot of 'em are just like that, yeah. The guy who wrote them is a guy who helped write a lot of the incidental dialogue for the Mother games.

I don't know if I just need to adjust to it or not but the Wii U pro controller is actually not very comfortable to play on and I kind of prefer the 3DS controls, but the only place I can see to use a 3DS as a controller is Smash mode. Otherwise its Really Cool to see a game you've been playing all week suddenly in HD, very good game but D- on the controller bit, plus the default controls are wacky you need to remember to pick your control profile every single time.

its poo poo for diaper babies, i can't believe how horrible and unrefined it feels. i found it to be a fine controller for mario kart, but in smash it feels awkward and disgusting. the face buttons don't seem to be in any sort of meaningful arrangement, and the right stick is entirely unusable, the extra shoulder buttons feel wonky, and the default assignment of shield and grab is truly mysterious. i can't wait to be free of this awful curse, but who knows how long it will take to find a GC controller adapter.

The worst blow is that the 3DS, which should be all means be the worst of all control options, would actually be preferable, but it can't be used online. Woe is me, forevermore i shall suffer with the weight of this lacking consummation with my beloved smash 4.

The online is great, I haven't seen any lag in 4-man games. I pretty much only did 1 on 1 on the 3DS because I couldn't deal with the lag, but SmashU's online is at least as good as MK 8's. :kiddo:

edit: WiiU Gaur plains is better than the 3DS Gaur Plains. Fewer walk-offs, more platforms, and metal face is like the only stage-hazard boss that's executed well. Ridley isn't that bad either, he's at least way more interesting than the Yellow Devil.

For real, even with it zooming waaaaaaaaaay out on Palutena's Temple I could still make everything out without any trouble. The game looks really, really good.

Amiibos are fun, it's like Pokemon. My boy L-money is taking out the trash :whatup:

BITCH



Just picked up my copy at the midnight release my GameStop was doing. I've still got a few things to do before I play it for the first time, but it's not a whole lot. I definitely don't plan on going to bed until after I've played this game at least once.

While I was at GameStop, I also bought a bunch of other goodies for my Wii U that I'm pretty excited about. Wireless motion sensor, Wii U remote w/ nunchuck attachment, SSB remote-attachment controller, a cover and screen protector for my Wii U control pad, like 8 Amiibo figures, and I think some other stuff.

This is gonna be a fun rear end night.

If you use the pro controller you will want to use the 3DS instead too. Don't be mean to me, here on this web site.
