Super fighting robot, MEGAMAN!

I really hope we get this soon. It's bad enough that Japan gets the actual game two weeks before us, but this is just rubbing salt in the wound...

Just put in 30 minutes over my lunch break. The game plays crazy well on the 3DS and looks incredibly fluid without the 3d on. Hard to believe this is running on what people call a third-tier technology.

Controls are a bit tough and took some time to get used to, but definitely doable with practice. Had trouble pulling off throws and shields on my 3DSLL but hopefully will improve with time / practice. I stuck with 'A' moves for the most part.

Mario, Link, and Pikachu all played better than I remember. Loving Villager and his Down+B, and not really a fan of Mega Man as he seems weak without well executed combos.

Overall, wow. Cannot wait for this weekend!

DEMO COME TO AMERICA BEFORE THE OFFICIAL RELEASE PLEASE PLEASE I WILL LOVE YOU FOREVER AND EVER AND EVERRRRRRRRR.
 
It's the gift I always wanted but never knew I needed.

Mega Man is playing EXACTLY how I thought he was going to play. I played about 10 games on the Wii U version at Comic Con back in July but that's hardly sitting down with the game and characters.

The Slide is such a useful normal and Mega Upper may be the single most satisfying move to kill with. And I haven't even really started using his specials yet. This game, man. THIS GAME, MAN!

Also if you haven't gotten a grip for your 3DS, buy a grip!

I'm amused that you can apparently do all CPUs. If I'm seeing this right, there's a streamer doing nothing but CPU vs CPU vs CPU vs CPU matches and letting everyone watch them battle it out.

Does anyone have any good 3DS XL grip recommendations?
 
I'm genuinely upset that not only does japan get the game in like 3 days but they also get a demo, while us westerners are left hanging till october :mad: I wouldn't be surpised if EU gets it while NOA just goes "ha yea right, go buy the game, asshole."

I love doing all CPU battles in Smash. My friends and I will pick our favorites and then yell at the CPU for doing such a shitty job at playing said character.

If anyone can, ask around if you can do team battle in the demo or not. I think there's an option on the character select screen for it.

Right now my only real complaints are blast zones and awful 3DS controls. it's got a lot of potential

Can you elaborate on the controls part? In my time with the game a couple of months ago, I found it to control just like the previous Smash games. Grab was the only thing I had to adjust to. Otherwise, the controls felt fine.

One of my friends also said the options menu is locked out, so maybe the full version will let you customize controls. I'm not certain if just the control options are locked, or if they were mistaken, or what.

You can choose multiplayer, but no one else is around me with the demo right now to check lol.

Pretty much everything is greyed out except regular smash (and only time, 2 minutes) and smash facts

Tilts are a pain thanks to tap jump being on is pretty much it.

At least FD mode turns items off. Items are cancer
