Sorry that I'm super late on this and that its already been discussed probably but what is the DLC thing about?

Stages? Or characters? Or both?

People that have data mined the game have found an arrow symbol that displays on the character select screen right beside the Mii Fighters icon.

The assumption is that it lead to a DLC character screen. (There's an arrow for the stage select screen too.)

I dunno, I get frustrated a lot and give up when I see repeats :p

I'd say a good 5 hours, only maxed two characters (Pikachu & Greninja). Focusing on Pokémon first, will update my site with them, then do the rest in bulk as time allows over the next month

Serious question: Are you doing pokemon stuff first because of your site, or are you doing pokemon stuff first because you love pokemon more than all other nintendo franchises? I assume you love pokemon BECAUSE of the time/effort you've put into your site since forever, but I don't like making assumptions about people I don't know.

Both :)

I'd like three sets of characters to be DLC

Heroes

Tingle
Paper Mario
Andy
Marshal
Dixie Kong
Isabelle

Villains

King K. Rool
King Hippo
Dr. Eggman
Dr. Wily
Captain Syrup
Ridley

Veterans

Ice Climbers
Wolf
Mewtwo
Lucas
Squirtle
Ivysaur
Sonic has been in for 2 games now, so eggman isn't a terrible stretch, but Dr Wily? Why not Hades?

Don't say too obscure, you have goddamn captain syrup.

What's horrible is that someone seeing this post might think you just have bad luck, but nope. This is about the same rate I've been getting custom moves at. Shit is tedious.

all 4 of the custom moves i got in a classic mode run were the same move

this is silly

Indeed it is, especially when there are 384 custom moves to collect, 8 for each character.

You can get doubles?

WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY???

I'm wondering if they'd ever patch that out. I mean, duplicate trophies have always been a thing, same w/ stickers, so I understand the logic... but this ACTUALLY AFFECTS GAMEPLAY. That, and the drop rate on custom items is about 1/5th of trophies... and then maybe 1/5 of custom items are actual custom moves. And then, on TOP of that, you can get duplicates? At least there's a trophy STORE which, more often than not, sells you trophies you don't already have. No such custom equipment store! I'd pay 3k coins for custom moves I don't have.

If smash run were online it wouldn't be a HUGE deal, but it's just really annoying.

A custom move store would be a great addition. Hopefully it can be added in a patch sometime soon...

I honestly don't understand why they thought it would be a good idea to leave one of the groups of important unlockables stuck behind randomization in single player modes. No one wanted this. Why are there duplicates? v.v

Making them unlockable might be what keeps them out of tournaments... because unless you can copy saves from wii U (which you couldn't on brawl, unless you had a modded wii, iirc) to other wii Us, that means that all systems used in a tournament will need all customs unlocked.


Another solution would be to be able to save all of your custom sets for a character on an amiibo, so each tourney player would have to bring their amiibos to the tournament. That's also restricting though.

I'm hoping the 'connect to Wii U' option that's around will let people transfer their customs to Wii U without much hassle.

But seeing some of the decisions lately, no doubt it's gonna be locked to within the same NNID and locked to one system, or something off the wall dumb like that.

I think you can transfer them from Wii U <-> 3DS, so maybe they could be moved from a 3DS to any Wii U?

It might restrict the 3DS's ability to connect to only one system though. I'm not sure about the details of the connectivity.
 
Sounds like Smash 3DS will be my commute game for a long time with all this grinding.
That might not be a good idea haha, you'll be in a bad mood the whole day if your morning bus ride starts with a game of Smash Run where you get 0 new custom moves.

But will it allow more than 1 3DS to connect to it? If each tourney player has a 3DS w/ their custom loadouts, will they each be able to transfer before the match? Even then, that's going to require each tourney player to have a 3DS w/ their loadouts.

Or, maybe you're implying the 3ds acts as a 'key' that unlocks stuff on the Wii U, so all you need is one 3DS w/ all custom moves unlocked and it can unlock ALL of the Wii U systems? That could work, assuming it lets you do that, too, and it isn't a binding pair.

Smash run is still fun even if you don't get anything :p You make it sound like the game is useless once you unlock everything, which isn't the case. Smash run is still fun solo.


Edit: Smash 3DS Xl AND GAME unboxing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=loocvnnFEaI

Game is done in US, if they have a boxed copy. Why the artificial delay? :( :( :( It's not like it'd be competing against anything right now.
Also, the club nintendo is on the back of the cover art, like layton. Boo this trend :( :(

Also, the XL system is GLOSSY, unlike other XL systems. Ew. So glad I didn't get.

I figure they're just trying to spread out their holiday releases. They wouldn't have anything other than fantasy life, NES collection and ORAS for the start of the holiday season if smash came out now

That makes it sound like the 4chan post came first. I'm confused.

It did come first, at least according to a guy on GameFAQs:

A little later...
*July 23rd~ (I forget the exact date because the deniableplausibility link is a 404 now) - 4Chan post listing Mewtwo, Shulk, Ridley, Dixie, Bowser Jr, Chorus Men, and Duck Hunt Dog
*July 28th - Ninka and Vaanrose go public with their leak. Basically Duck Hunt, Shulk, Dr. Mario, Chorus Men, Bowser Jr, Dark Pit, and possibly a few others.
August 19th - All the s** that went down yesterday, with Ninka and Vaanrose coming out completely right so far with no sign of stopping.

Another guy here says the same: http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/633202-super-smash-bros-for-wii-u/69906617

Is it possible to play on stock? Friends and i usually play 3-4 man stock not time, and i've only seen 2 stock so far.

2 stock is the for glory standard, which is what most streamers are showing.

WHen playing w/ friends you can do 99 stock if you want.

Stamina/coin matches are gone though. Only time/stock, up to 99 (minutes/stock) each.

Making a few million copies is hard as well as properly shipping them. Retail games take about a month to fully ship out even if one is done

wait seriously?

Yup, not an option, at least on 3DS. I never played them ever, so I don't miss them.

Special brawl-type matches are gone, too. No 'giant, metal' matches either. Never really played those either, so I don't miss them, but I can see how others might. I played those more often when I was younger (and melee had no pokeball limit). Crazy/ridiculous matches are basically gone from 3DS.

Is it today that the 3DS demo comes out.

I thought it was tomorrow? Maybe not.

Edit: Yeah, i'm wrong, it's today. The unlimited codes expire tomorrow, which is what I was thinking of.

I wonder if Smash will follow HW with Day 1 DLC pre-orders. Maybe 3 packs with 6 characters total, 6 stages and some new items or modes for 15-20€.

I'm still so, so, so, SO pissed at Stamina mode being gone. Don't remind me. :(
Most of the mysteriously absent modes will probably be back in the Wii U version. Maybe not the minigames, but I think we'll get event mode, stamina, and special modes.

inb4 15 characters are ever used seriously, and each has a clearly optimal custom setup

I know that when playing locally, I am exclusively using sword-dorf.

I hope nintendo tracks which custom moves people use, too, so they can one day give me a true ganondorf, and not smashdorf, who might as well be a mii.
