The bowling ball is, hilariously, a reflectable or pocketable projectile. there are so many ways that attack can go wrong.
It's amazingly effective if used over the edge of the stage on an enemy attempting to recover, though. The bowling ball just drops all the way, it doesn't vanish at a certain range.
Okay so I'm really glad everyone's saying the game's been bumped in speed for whatever reason (seems Sakurai had a last minute change of heart). So is it safe to say that speed bump (get it? No? Whatever I already typed it) will be in the Wii-U (aka the definitive) version too?

Mario kart wii had great online and came out only four months after brawl. Didn't make brawl suck any less.
Not to mention the standards for lag in a racing game are much lower than they are for a fighting game. Racing games opt out of input lag in favor of video lag and some predictive movement to make stuff look as smooth as possible, but that shit won't fly in a fighting game, so all they can do is lockstep net code and hope to god that their code is optimized.
Sakurai himself isn't really inspiring confidence either. I remember his line being something like "well, make sure you use an Ethernet adapter" when asked about the online. Hopefully the matchmaking will at least be functional this time though, even if the net code is jacked.

So how do you do the c-stick moves in this game?
Same as in the other games if you chose not to use the C Stick, hard stick in the direction and hold A simultaneously.
With the c-stick.

You mean smash attacks? Have you people never done them normally? This board is scarying me.

As far as anyone can tell, never. It blocks all your other attacks for it's duration and doesn't effectively stop any projectiles or damage.
It's just bad.
Hopefully one of his alternate moves for that slot is better.
Thanks! I really hope customs and equipment are allowed in tourneys, they make the game so much more fun!
Yeah, jeez I do hope so too. That is such a waste of an animation, even FLUDD does its job better. There's gotta be a custom that works better.
Hmmm, too bad. I'm gonna stick with MM for now but will probably abandon him in the full roster. Still the novelty is pretty fun.
No different to Pokémon. Some Pokémon have moves you need to reach Level 80 to get, or chain breed like crazy. Does that mean people shouldn't use those moves because others have to do it too to make it "fair"?

dat pikachu's disgusted face :lol
One of the things from the demo I haven't seen posted is that if you tap a character portrait mid-fight you'll get a nifty box around the character you tapped on screen to help you identify them. Anyone else find any quirks about the demo?
Sixth demo character for earning a 1000g perhaps? 
Aye, thanks for all the games man! If they're available in an archive or something, I'd definitely try to get them up on youtube, they show off how fun the customized content can be I think.

So has the embargo lifted? Can Ash talk about what happened behind closed doors at PAX?

I've seen a few places upload videos of playing the game at PAX during that event, so I think so?
Like, explicitly things like creating a Mii and playing the full roster and classic mode, not the floor demos.
Out of curiosity, how did you unlock Jigglypuff?

Yes, Ash already posted on previous miiverse thread

EDIT: Wow I'm really super slowpoke here :lol
Beat classic with Charizard. At that point I had run through classic around 10 times.
Haha. I have over 3000 and got excited that I'd have heaps. Oh well.
Noooooo

Loving the game (demo) but my hands hurt after a while. At least I got my fix, eases the wait for the Wii U version. Bet they'll announce the release date the day after smash 3ds releases.
Pokemon is like monster battle game and you are responsible for all pokemon that you find and manage.But it is not game with fighting game elements , no one cares if they don't have pokemon that you put work into because they have team among over 600 pokemon and its impossible to care for all of them for battle and its like a strategy game.
Maybe it could work for 3ds , if everyone has like thier own but for the Wii U , I don't see people unlocking custom movesets fully.Imagine having to manage 10 Wii U's and having to unlock all the moves but it only happens on one but never gets done on the others , if you are a person going to tournament that person might not have your moveset available that you are accustomed to using.
Is it fair for custom moves to be 3ds viable only?

Played the demo and I must say.... I don't like how it controls on the 3DS. was thinking about buying it but I probably won't now. Will wait for superior Wii U version.

Megaman's Neutral A and Side Tilts confuse me. They do basically no damage and have no knockback or hitstun. It feels like *I* get punished for using them, even when they connect. Side Tilt approach into Down Tilt slide works pretty well, though. I guess something has to make up for that amazing Forward Smash projectile, though.
Can't Up Tilt to save my life without the ability to disable Tap Jump.

Well after hours and hours of practice, I'm still losing on no-items with Mario against level 9 CPU Megaman. I can win maybe 1/3 of the time now. Mostly I get destroyed with Megaman's close-up and juggle game. His killing and launching and throwing power seem to outclass Mario's.
The thing I really wish I could figure out is doing the Mario meteor. Almost every time the CPU recovers, they seem to take a path where you can't really meteor them. It could just be that the forward-A in the air is so delayed that I can't time it, combined with my near inability to do short hops.

I didn't play the demo all that much, but I still have it, should I just grind coins from that and then transfer? Haha
You can only transfer 500 coins!? I'm nearly 9000... >_>
Is it just playing the battle mode? I just played and Ness randomly challenged until he got ktfo by Little Mac.

wait so does that mean the demo ends at 500?
