Played 4-player local with the demo at my friend's apartment, and we had a few matches with a ton of lag. I'm guessing a lot of wireless interference because it's an apartment complex. It's still hella lame, though. I kinda wish link cables were still a thing.

That's really weird. I have, and it was flawless. Pretty much like every other local 4P multiplayer game on the 3DS, like MK7.
That reminds me of pit with 4+ speed brawler claws and light weight in uprising lol. So hilariously fast in free for all online.
Can't use final smashes in Smash Run.
No lag or camera issues.
I suppose the only way to possibly go faster would to get to the +200 speed equipment stat cap, get a bunny hood in Smash Run, and then activate the +1000 speed Smash Run item.
those commercials are awesome The DK player was hilarious
Kirby player could have my pizza slice anytime

We usually gather to play Mario Kart in the same place every day, so we know it wasn't any type of interference. We also went back to MK right after, which played fine.
It was only smash that kept lagging, and it was every match to varying degrees. Sometimes it would hitch for a second every now and then. Other times it would start hitching consistently every 2-3 seconds. The lag also seemed to scale with the number of people in the match. 3 was bad, 4 was horrible.
We were all super hyped to play, but we had to stop because it was so bad. If the final release is like this it's getting traded in very quickly.
have you done that and fallen off the stage before
Nope. Aries armor and Libra sponge prevented that issue.
...that Mii Swordfighter is ridiculously awesome looking.
Edit: Am I seriously going to get hype because a samurai actually did make it into Smash 4 on the one character type I felt meh towards? :lol
yes. It's normal.
Holy moly:

Looks like smash 3ds is a hit in japan lol. I Hope they have a bit more character variety compared to tourneys here.

Pst for the win! Wonder if amsa will be there
so uh
has anyone posted that evidently you can't control the rate of items spawning on 3DS other than turning them On/Off?
Did we know this already? I just found out on Reddit. Kind of lame. My friends and I like to play with items on Low from time to time. :/
See this is the kind of stuff that's going to be really stupid if not fixed in the Wii U version. I'm ok with it being out of the 3DS, but if the Wii U version just ends up being an HD port of the 3DS version, which it's looking like, and not addressing this kind of stuff, it's going to be really dissapointing.

I'm confident that your waifu will be there. After all, Pe-

I wonder how many

ffdgh do you just have a bunch of these saved on your computer so you can rotate through them as avatars? lol
I apologize for repeating myself here, but:
Are you beginning to doubt the frequency switch is there, when it was there at E3 in the Wii U version? Why would they remove that after publicly demonstrating it in a tournament?
Why would they remove something that's already there? Are people thinking they will take out E3 Wii U features because of the Ice Climbers thing?
also 11 PM EST isn't that late lol, too bad you're probably on the east coast
Yes, I am, that and I have college classes tomorrow that I need my sleep for.
I just realized I had a good moment to make a
bad
seven outfits per character is only one underneath the other mains, I fail to see how that's not many. One thing I was curious about; It seems that DLC is an anticipated thing now (I think, Last I heard Samurai was still mostly against it.). How would people feel about not just character alt dlc, but possibly more sets of custom moves? Would make matchmaking for customs kinda nightmarish unless you force compatability, and then you'd run into the dangerous ground of potentially 'paying' for better moves...
Where did all of these come from exactly?
So it was definitely there in the Wii U version? Awesome. That gives me hope that it will really be better in some ways besides looks.

I can understand ethernet but link cables were objectively shitty
Riiiiight, based on what exactly? The different stages? Smash Run being 3DS exclusive? There's NO indication that it's simply the 3DS version in HD. None AT ALL
What kind of 3DS technical limitations would prevent Sakurai from having spawning rates for items? I'm beginning to fear the spawning rates won't be in the Wii U version.
Was that done by in game menu or by debug menu though? Do we know? It was a demo of an unstable and buggy build, it could be that the frequency switch wasn't in game yet. Besides I could see it being a design choice of some kind because, again, I don't see how the 3DS power makes it impossible to have one in that version as well.

As in "Heathcliff"
Well, it's in Smash U Demo but they could take it out tho.

hot, steaming, as melted butter slips into the cracks, drizzled with sticky sweet syrup OH GOD
Imagine high frequency pokeballs. The 3DS frame rate would start chugging. Wii U will more than likely re-enable this features.
Maybe I'm imagining things, but wasn't the 3DS version forced to one on screen pokéball at a time only? If that's true then pokéballs are a non-issue from that POV.

Kojima fighting to get Snake back in and Kamiya fighting for Sakurai to drop sonic for bayonetta.
Quick edit of this. http://www.mariowiki.com/images/4/42/PeachHoops.png
I miss melee's high amount of pokeballs. Lag or not they were great.

I'm a fellow Gaffer, I've been covering Smash too! It's just I work 9 to 5 and usually get to it during the evening, but it would be awesome to get some opinions and feedback from fellow GAF members.

Strongly considering saying screw it to my 8 am class so that I can watch this. Hmmmmm

I'm positive the item thing is a technical issue with the very high setting. Look at the party ball, you're lucky to get 3 pieces of food from it, when traditionally it dropped piles of food. I think the items are already at the absolute max the game can allow, so having any additional settings would be negligible in difference of spawn times
But why?
I would gladly connect my 3DS to another one via cable if it meant smooth gameplay.
It wouldn't be that much different than a wired Gamecube controller.
You don't know what happened to ShowVideoGames?? I'll tell you in a few words:
Cheating, Orgy and Betrayals.
honestly, this is one of the biggest things to bum me out about smash so far. i'm pretty nonchalant when it comes to roster and such, I just like playing the game in whatever formation Sakurai and co. go with.so uh
has anyone posted that evidently you can't control the rate of items spawning on 3DS other than turning them On/Off?
Did we know this already? I just found out on Reddit. Kind of lame. My friends and I like to play with items on Low from time to time. :/
but not being able to set item frequency really sucks. the spawn rate in the demo (which i assume is the only spawn rate available) is insanely high and makes playing with items intolerable. but, i love playing with items, and have them set on low all of the time.
because i can't do that now, i'll most likely be playing with items off altogether, and that's really disappointing :/
the Japanese only had the demo for 3 days before the got the full game.
i have to suffer through this shit for 2 whole weeks more.
not this friday, but the friday after that.
Look at it this way. The demo is a blessing and a burden!

The funny thing is we're going to have to do this all over again with the Wii U version.

If the Wii U gets a demo I'm gonna go nuts. I don't have a JPN Wii U...
The wait will be so much easier with the 3DS version released though.
