Yeah. Been playing Mario exclusively.I'm at just about 20 hours on mine. Mostly just playing Mario because he feels fucking great in Smash 4.
I've been using Villager pretty much exclusively. I was super excited to try him out, and he did not disappoint. Feels so good.
Just checked and... I have 12 hours logged on the demo. Jeez, the thirst for Smash Bros. is real...
I've been playing a mixture of the characters, they're all so much fun! Pika is my demo-main though, because Smash 4 Pika is amazing.
Think I'll go digital with this. Hopefully Nintendo is preparing for an onslaught on their servers.
Yeah, same here. I'm tempted to play it a ton to get my Mario as good as it can be, but I don't want to just keeping fighting the same 4 characters and get burned out.I had to stop playing the demo cause I just don't want to get even a tiny bit burned out by this.
Only 5 more days...
Am I the only one that didn't care for playing any of the demo characters?
Are you saying you weren't excited to play with Murabito?
As much as I love Villager, he's very hard to use.
Villager fits in so organically that Sakurai's initial concerns seem dubious in retrospect. Not a single attack feels out of place.
Clones like Rosalina, yup yupWell, he have a thing for clone character so yeah. *coughLucinacough*
Well remember when I said I was enjoying Hyrule Warriors? I lied. This game is pretty confusing. It doesn't explain things well like upgrading and fusing weapons and the whole game feels like you need to rush through it before your allies get trashed.
The game explains every single thing.to you.

Are you not counting one of the newcomers for some reason, or are you misremembering?Hardly, the demo characters are very boring choices. We only got to play 1 newcomer.

It's the difference of having to deal with a timeout for 8 minutes vs 5, 6 or less minutes a 2 stock rule set would provide. SFxT timeouts were common and bad but they at most were only 2 minute rounds, Smash traditionally has a higher timer to discourage timer scams (it's much harder to get a timeout with a high timer). But really, this high timer only works for Melee because it's an aggressive game. No one really tries to timer scam except one particular MU: Hbox vs Armada
So the 8 minute timer isn't seen as a negative for that game and it's not possible to change it at this point because of how long Melee has had that rule set. On the other hand, Smash 4 is a brand new game with the opportunity to make the slower MUs much more entertaining by virtue of having 2 stocks and 5/6 minute timer. The time in which you will lose interest (typically 3-4 minutes into an 8 minute game) is already down to 2-3 minutes in a 5-6 minute 2 stock match. Things become more tense if the timer is lower and the stock count is lower -- that tenseness takes much longer to get to in an 8 minute match and often, the pay off isn't worth it (from a spectator POV).
There are legitimate reasons to keep 3 stocks or try to keep working with them but I think 2 stocks is better in the long-run when there's so much on the line for the game to be a successful game to play and watch on streams. No one wants another Brawl where it's 8 minutes of players literally standing there and waiting for someone to make a move (seriously this happens, go watch Apex 2014's GFs and you'll see multiple instances of players standing there and committing to nothing until the other player does something).
Then of course you need to consider the fact that TOs want to run multiple Smash games and having 3 stocks for Smash 4 could slow down the whole tournament itself (well, maybe not the 3DS version but the Wii U one certainly). Or, if Smash 4 3DS is streamed then its Top 8 could take significantly longer than the Top 8 of other Smash games. Having it as 2 stocks prevents that from happening because a Bo3 set at most only takes 10-12 minutes vs the 16 minutes before (excluding the in-between set time for counterpicking and stuff). And that's not including the fact that 2 stocks itself is faster by default because of the number of stocks.
That's why people want 2 stocks and not 3.
Really interested to see if they change up Falco and Ike's lines for the US Version...
I mean, Falco should have his 643D voice like Fox, right? And I can see them changing Ike since he's gotten a visual change.
the best counter to Little Mac I've seen so far is Sheik. Then again, Sheik is the best counter to every character
Losing Lucas doesn't hurt as bad now that Shiek is back

So excited to finally get to play with the rest of you in less than a week!

Ike was on the Treehouse stream. Same Brawl voice.Really interested to see if they change up Falco and Ike's lines for the US Version...

Ike has the same voice as in Brawl. You're probably right about Falco, though.
