I'm probably even weirder than most people here: I would like offline tourneys I could play alone against the CPU ^_^

Nintendo made hella money selling to people who like me were going to buy it on both systems. I seriously doubt they'll simply give the other one away for free. Tipping Stars is not a trend; more to due with the game, budget, perception.
Melee and Brawl both had it. It was fun for large groups to come over and play a tournament. It makes even MORE sense now that there are so many control options and 8-player smash capabilities. They had a year to send it out, yet the feature is missing.

Because brackets are way too hard to develop I guess.

In pretty much every instance where we've gotten a menu that looks like this, puzzle piece tiles that are rounded on one side but don't line up, it's been because the menu is incomplete, and something new is coming to fill the gaps. Maybe it'll be something 1v1? Maybe something completely new? Either way something's definitely coming.
Not the same engine FYI.

It's a bit odd, I'll agree. But at least the poster notes "pick up the game again." If you're fortunate enough to have a lot of local players to play against but who aren't serious enough to be the types to go to local tourneys, I could see how this might be a feature to get people casually playing again. "Hey, we've all had our fill of just sitting around having random free-for-alls, but a tourney mode might be just what the doctor ordered in terms of injecting some interest among me and my friends to pick it up again."

Really dissappinted in the limit on YouTube uploading, but whatever.
Just glad that Ness and Olimar seemingly didn't get any nerfs.
The new Mii Swordfighter infinite is discouraging.

Maybe not everyone is an hardcore player (I know that sounds crazy).
What's the big deal to implement such thing that clearly some people enjoyed in past iterations?

Man I am sick of seeing this nonsense in this thread. This is literally just basic high school-level bullshit. I know you guys are better than that. I know we as a community are better than that.
Yes, I agree that the idea of not buying a game with 55 characters in it just because of the omission of one character is asinine, and posting only to say that is even more so. But that doesn't make it okay to go and call people's taste in characters bad or inferior because you have different preferences in digital people and animals.
Is the idea of not liking a character but being able to be sympathetic (or at least not a dick) to fans of that character so foreign to you?
Which is so the right way to go about it. More games should buff bad characters more than they nerf good ones. Nerfs should generally only apply to exploits and infinites.
This is exactly why I cannot stand going into Smash threads and speculating anymore. I basically get guilted for liking a character because apparently I have terrible taste. Ugh.

How dare he not buy the game. Though I do think it's bit premature, since the ballot isn't over yet. There is no need to overreact.

My read on those kinds of posts is that they are mostly, if not entirely facetious. If actual malice is intended there that I'm just not picking up on, then I agree, knock it off. But -- though I wasn't really around for a lot of the game's pre-release character discussion -- I've been around enough post-release to know that the desire to see K. Rool in the game oscillates between sincerity and silliness. Given the latter, some tongue-in-cheek ribbing doesn't strike me as altogether inappropriate.
But like I said, if it's more mean-spirited than I'm giving credit, I can agree that it's in poor taste.
I don't actually care what that guy does, but the statement itself is hilarious and and isn't free from some ribbing.
I mean... people getting offended by jokes about character preferences? Much worse stuff to be offended by in these threads.
Also yes, until Sakruai says he's done adding characters, I wouldn't take anything as indication that someone or something can't be a playable character. There are no rules, and there never were.
I figure there's sort of a checklist that devs can have for making a character viable. They're making minor adjustments towards improving the combo/neutral game for everyone in general with a few nerfs sprinkled throughout.
Ouch, that stings. My Wii U is shipping out today.

Wait no 1v1 in custom tournaments? What the hell Sakurai? We can't even play how we want in our own custom game?

The best thing about this update is that you can use customs and play with miis online. Gives a reason to buy the costumes now.
1 on 1 is only in the community tournament but we can't create our own. This a puzzling decision. I have no clue why we can't create our own. Tournaments are normally associated with 1 on 1.
This was obviously intentional but no clue why.

Miis online now? That's awesome.

Yes, and it helps a lot, because we know more or less what to expect ("online events" in this case) lol
Hope they announce the next big update's content soon

The dream of an amiibo bracket set up on my system is dead.

You think a casual group of friends is going to want to take the time to organize brackets? They could have literally just used the online mode except made it offline.

Don't tell that to Neoxon.
Fascinating. I thought they were both built on NFW?
Offline Tourneys were a great way to pass the time in Melee and Brawl. Yeah, you may have been limited to local, but they were fun to setup and it felt like you accomplished something by the end. I really wanted that to comeback, but it didn't, and not only that, it seems rather half-assed and kinda backwards.
I would have LOVED to setup an amiibo Tournament for this, but I can't because there's no Offline Tourney mode.

Yeah, I was looking forward to setting up amiibo and various cpu tourneys. I've loved doing that stuff since Fire Pro Wrestling.
Well, not exactly because the creation of bracket tournaments is not a thing online (yet?)
Well it's not as ez as Diddy's (you always need to jump with the cargo first) and it's on DK who needed something like that anyway.
How does needing to jump make it more difficult?
Boss Doggie
all my loli wolf companions are so moe
The most deserving hoo hah
I guess not but it can be a little awkward to jump with the cargo quick enough that the other person doesn't mash out of it before you toss them up.

Balance patches <3. Surprisingly it's not all that hard to pull off either.
