Wait, is there no character from Earthbound/Mother?
For what it's worth, here are some Dutch reviews:
XGN - 9,4
Power Unlimited - 9,2
Basically the biggest "drawback" is that it doesn't do a whole lot more different than Brawl, basically it feels like Brawl 2.0 (beside the shit load of content), which I'm perfectly fine with. It seems to mix the speed from fast the Melee and the somewhat slower Brawl, and that sounds about perfect. Can't wait until the 28th.

I think it's more "this is the score and the online is expected to work fine"

He's actually not unlockable in WiiU. He doesn't have a new stage though, not that that matters.

The people who posted their review scores reviewed the game as if there was no online, not as if it was broken.

Random question: But what's the fastest way to unlock characters aside from multiplayer?
I'm so glad you can now watch 60 FPS footage on youtube.

If like the 3DS version, Smash 1 stock matches where you suicide seem to work out quickly.
That is probably how I am doing it this time around. I already took the long route in the 3DS version.

There is no doubt in my mind that this won't review well. It's almost mandatory

Little Mac too strong.

I think the ign review hated smash run
not perfect but I find it damn fun. I'd fix the repetition with the rewards though, it's a bit of a waste to always get the same things.

The game looks fucking brilliant!
As long as Nintendo keeps making Smash games, I´ll keep buying their systems, almost solely for that game.
Why, oh why couldn´t you make a competent Smash clone Sony? You didnt even try...

I feel bad that I really do not have a whole lot of interest in this title. I love my Wii U, and have a pretty sizable catalog of over 20+ titles for it. I really want to support Nintendo as much as I can - including getting Watch Dogs this week - but I just do not have much of interested in SSB.
How can I be persuaded? I am a single player. I do not play any party games in a large, the most recent extend was my buddy and I played MK8 and Black Ops 2 online this past weekend, and that was pretty fun. I do own Brawl, but I just couldn't get ahold of the mechanics in it. My fighting game history is pretty limited to just Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter.
I do admire the level of detail Nintendo has in this game for their properties, but is that worth the price of $60 to pickup?

sounds like you're just not interested. nothing wrong with that.

Yeah, I wish more companies would make games like Smash. I know there are a few that are Japan-exclusive; sadly they'll never make it here due to licensing mess. There's a Smash-like brawler in Japan with Bomberman, Snake, the dude form Beyblade and Easter Island Heads and all kinds of cool stuff. I wish we'd get some of that greatness (although the combat of that game is subpar from what I've heard, it still looks fun)! A competent Sony Smash-clone would be great. Really couldn't get into PS All-Stars.
Stick to one character at first, for awhile. It'll help you come to grips with the mechanics and it'll help you develop skills with one character.
I'd recommend Link. Just stick with Link for awhile before branching off. He controls more or less like you'd expect from a sidescrolling-beat-em-up Link.

I wonder if the reviews will drop if the onlines bad
lol I'm the same as you. Never liked SSB even if I can see its qualities.

I preordered it, now I pray it comes on the 28th. It's going to be hard to ignore smashGAF until then.
I like playing Smash by myself, well sometimes, despite having a lot of siblings. (I also like playing SM3DW by myself). But if you don't like Brawl, I wouldn't buy it, tbh.

I understand. This seems a little Ubisoftish from Nintendo, especially considering they have said that they can't do anything to improve the online from Brawl.

Predicting metacritic averages seems like a sly way of decreeing what you feel the merits of a game to be without ever playing it.

I would rather devote some time to Brawl, and see if my opinion can be swayed. But from what I hear from the general population, is that Brawl is the weakest of the series.

Probably unless it receives a host of not so great reviews.

Which is something i feel is okay based on the developer and their track record.

It should be at least on par with Smash 3DS, which is a huge improvement over Brawl.
I was expecting Bayonetta 2 to become the 2014 GOTY, but it seems Smash is going to beat it.
TLOU:R and GTAV also got great reviews, but I don't think they will be GOTY for the second year, wouldn't be fair.

Weakest in the series or not, all Smash games have the same concept and basic gameplay principles. Brawl is a lot slower and floatier than Melee and I assume Smash 4, but if you didn't like the mechanics of Brawl, you probably won't like 4. See if your opinion can't be swayed though, and also imo there's loads of fun for single-player as well. I plan on doing classic mode with all characters solo, and then there's event matches, stadium and all-stars mode to have fun in, as well as just regular matches.

PS All-Stars is really fun, but the similarities with Smash are skin deep. They should have gone further with it. Ring outs, percentage damage, not having to use a Super to kill someone.

it seems like the base gameplay just doesn't click with you, which is ok, you don't have to buy games you don't like playing lol
Worst than Italian announcer? No way Man, nobody can surpass "LINK CARTONE"(Toon Link).

My question is who's going to be the far-left outlier that gives it a 6 or 7? Seems like every AAA Nintendo release there's at least one.
Gamespot isn't up yet, but then again this isn't a zelda game.

It would be boring if everyone had the same opinion. If someone scores it low but explains their reasoning I don't see the problem.
