Interestingly enough, Japan really kinda hates MOTHER3. This may be why Ness is back in Smash while Lucas got cut.

Lol at this comment:

I wish they’d have put more time into it, but I love Mother 3. I hope it gets localized. I think remaking it to fit Mr. Itoi’s original vision would be the best.

Put more time?! Someone doesn't know the development history of Mother 3!

They're saved to SD card, but you can't view them outside of smash bros. It saves the game data, kinda like how starcraft replays work, so that the game can reproduce the playback. It's not saving a video.

Currently, it's impossible to export the replay, or even share it w/ smash friends, afaik. You can rewatch it in game as much as you want, but that's it.

Guess I will be saving replays and recording replays with another 3DS or recording device. What a hassle. And I'm too cheap for a capture card.

Just got like 5 different answers lol

From what I've gathered, you're supposed to play smash run over and over with a certain character. How many custom moves do you unlock after one smash run?

Also, do I need to wait the full fucking 5 minutes every time I do smash run? I swear the computers you fight are level 3 CPUs.

You have to play Smash Run all the way to completion, including the match that happens *after* the gathering stats stuff.

Reposting this question for a new page:

Can anyone tell me if download play is an option? As in, for local multiplayer do you need 2/3/4 copies of Smash or can you play with just 1 copy?

No download play, unfortunately. I'm guessing they released the demo because of that. Local multiplayer is really quick and easy to set up. at least.

Michelangelo painted the Sistine Chapel. Yabuki turned off voice chat in Mario Kart races. True artists of their time.
I translated the second screen here. I haven't cleared anywhere near all of the third one yet, but I can type up the ones I know of later.

Do you have translations for the first panel, too? My second panel is still locked even though I've already done some of the challenges.

so is there any info on how the online has been working? the only info i've got on online speed is from kotaku and they said it was really laggy, which i don't believe at all...

Hoping that Wii U allows for something better. Also hoping that maybe export to youtube becomes an option. Maybe new 3DS can do it? Currently smash 4 disables all secondary applications (like web browsing or miiverse), so that might be why?.

When playing 1v1 it's much much better than 4 players. When I was playing for glory, sometimes it was entirely lag-free, but i've never had a perfect match. Could be distance related.

Also, when playing 1v1 w/ makai, it was mostly great. A few spikes here and there, but otherwise, pretty good.

It still doesn't feel 100% as responsive as when playing solo, but it's pretty good, actually.
 
wait, I thought Lucina was practically Marth aside from how damage is distributed on the blade. How can she be that much better than him?
not that I mind :3

It seems that because people haven't really been able to get proper spacing for Marth's tippers. It's also not clear if Marth's tippers are even significantly better than Lucina's regular hits.

A bit late, but I am so glad this is one of the two tracks for the FE stage for the 3DS version

Edit: Actually just heard this in game yesterday on a stream

Hmm... Can't really say if this is true, but "Zapper" must be Duck Hunt.

Don't think it's true, I mean, 2 Capcom characters? And from the same franchise? One would think they'd add Soul Calibur characters first as Namco Bandai has worked in the development of the game haha

And Masked Man, really?! Wow, that guy is awesome! It's cool they decided to make these great comments for trophies.

Then again, Sakurai would also be capable of doing cool stuff if he wanted - see KIU script. But Trophies in Uprising were kinda boringly descripted, so maybe it's his fault ;_;

99% of the veteran changes are for the better, but I'd really like to hear Sakurai's reasoning for getting rid of Wario's shoulder tackle. That pose alone is on a ton of Wario box arts. It's iconic.

I think Lucina might have a chance for the next Smash, because I really think the next Fire Emblem will be a sequel to Awakening that takes place in the kids' timeline, with Lucina as the main Lord. That seems like an obvious choice for IS.

And you know, I've been thinking about Dixie Kong, and while I wanted her, I sort of get why she's not here...

* She really didn't have any big roles till Tropical Freeze. I mean, she made a comeback in the sports spin-offs, but she was rarely playable even in the Donkey Kong games like Jungle Climber. I feel like until Tropical Freeze, she was pretty much seen as a "package deal" with Diddy, and I think her only chance for Brawl or Smash 4 was if Sakurai went ahead and made her and Diddy a team. But then they'd be the ones cut from the 3DS Version lol.

* Difficulty with a move-set. Excluding the clone characters, all the newcomers in Smash 4 were really diverse, and filled niches that other characters really couldn't. Dixie Kong doesn't have a lot to work with, and she'd likely end up playing as a mix between Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong. I'm sure Sakurai could make a creative move-set for her, but like my reasoning above, she really wasn't a character in the recent spotlight, so she was likely on the back-burner. And yet she's different enough from Diddy Kong that she likely would require more work than the average clone like Lucina, Doctor Mario, and Dark Pit.

I love Donkey Kong, but I'm sort of not bothered by her not getting in as a new Donkey Kong representative...I think Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong are both pretty cool characters, and do well enough a job representing the series as is. I wouldn't mind her being the rumored Link-Up character, however, but I see why Sakurai didn't include her. And hey, Donkey Kong is getting very solid platformers again, and I bet a third is on its way, so even if Sakurai isn't treating it that good, it's not on life support.

Interestingly enough, Japan really kinda hates MOTHER3. This may be why Ness is back in Smash while Lucas got cut.

Sometimes I really think I'm a Japanese man born in an American man's body. I hate Mother 3 too!

I think that's fake...

Look at the second fitdedede, you can see the typing cursor after it, as the person likely typed that out and took a picture.
