It's nice to know Nintendo isn't above releasing a game with broken online this gen. Now Sony and Microsoft don't feel so left out.

I would recommend that anyone that does keep playing the game to let the game sit for a while(20 seconds or so) on a menu screen before exiting the game or turning the console off. Just in case that this issue is caused by interrupting an auto-save this might have you covered.
As for myself I have not encountered this error code and my data management is usable. I have played for glory a bit and have quit out of a game on the preparation screen twice. Both times an error code was shown when trying to access for glory again(not the DC wait message) but I don't think it's related to this particular problem.

This is always good advice. Some games fail to inform the player when they autosave, so I always do this.

Seems like the "bricking" part happens if you do a format once the data on the drive is already corrupted. Strange.
I have an external HDD so it seems I don't have to be worried about this, if worst comes to worst I can just copy everything else off the drive and then format the drive using a PC.

This isn't broken online. This is a glitch, the origin of which we're not 100% on. The online isn't broken.

I don't like For Glory anyways. Btw there was a Wii U update today, I wonder if it was regarding this issue.

I don't play online at all, but I steer clear of my Wii U anyway, just to be safe.
It was for MK8 YT issues.

And that one has the high possibility of breaking your circle pad. I know because it really happened to me, after thinking it only happened to people that use too much force on smash attacks.
The probabilty to brake your circle pad to the one of bricking your wiiU seems to be much higher.

It could be an error in the firmware but we need find out if this was happening before the recent wii u update or not.

The error code is known for years now and pops up for several users in different games, so I wouldn't think it's related to SSB.

Judging by the Smashboards thread, it's both.

User in the video linked on Nintendolife uses the disc version.

5.3.0 U firmware version for the guy in this video:

So, it's not related to the latest firmware update (5.3.1 U):

Oh i know, the thumbpad grip thing came off my circle pad during a For Glory match on my OG launch 3DS, same thing happened with my sister's OG 3DS as well. I recently got the New 3DSXL and haven't had that happen so far.
Guess i'll be putting my disc version on ice for sure then till we get more info on this.
EDIT: The one SSBU related issue i've had since getting the game was once when leaving the trophy shop, there was an extended black screen (Noticeably longer than usual) before finally showing the trophy selection area menu.

I always want to know how widespread this sort of thing is. It's really easy for threads like this to spread unwarranted panic. If it's happened to 50 out of 500,000 players then I'm really not going to be too worried about it.

On another (Dutch) message board, I hypothised that this "For Glory error" (give the baby a name) was no more than a coincidence of a bad shipment of Wii U's bricking (like the RRoD/BLoD). Then - I hear you ask - why does this pop up now? Simply because now everyone is playing Smash Bros. like mad. More consoles being on for longer times equals a higher chance of factory defects popping up. Your search query strengthens the hypothesis (but does not confirm it).

im in the camp that its not smash bros causing the issue cause if it was it would be way more widespread problem if it was smash something else is going on.

What a hardcore game.
Lose online? Lose your console.
I like it.

Oh fuck! Sorry for your loses.
I really think that game never had to be released for the 3DS. The one that had such fate for me was my 3DSXL.
Ding ding ding ding! We have a winner!
Chances are, if you receive that error, that your console had a defect from the beginning. I for one believe that it's not related to the game if it can erase save data and/or brick the console. There's something much more serious than that involved.

I still have to re-read the OP to make sure the error signature is the same, but I DID get a fatal Wii U memory error a couple of months ago when playing Mario Kart. Had to send it in for repairs, at the end of the day they couldn't even repair it and the Wii U I got back had a completely different serial number and the console they sent was scratched to hell and back.

Yeah, doesn't seem related to smash at all.

And this why I have a massive issue with automatic updates. Always a chance they could break something.

I had the red X thingy on Download Management, but I switced to wired connection and forced system update a couple of times and it seems to have done the trick
I have had no other problems though, Smash works fine, everything works fine, also online

I'm always on wired, and I saw the red X.

We can't say for sure this is related to the Smash update data, and we know people have been experiencing this issue every now and then with other games for a while. However, considering only a fraction of Smash players actually post in the Smashboards and the fact that about seven people from the Smashboards experienced it yesterday or two days ago, I'll let Smash alone for a day or two at least.

For what it's worth, I don't own Smash yet, but I also had the red X on my download management icon. I didn't want to fiddle around with it too much last night, but seems it tried to download a System Update, but couldn't. I assumed it was cos of load on the update server (as that happened when I first bought my Wii U).
Will try again later.
I think I read or heard somewhere that Kojima actually wanted to do something like that for an MGS game.
Yes, I think you're right. There was some eShop maintenance last night, and I think the console was trying to download the update and it failed.
I always leave the Wii U on standby, so the update should be downloaded and installed when I arrive home.

The good news: Yes, there is.
The bad news: It's probably worthless because the saves cannot be used on a replacement console or after a factory reset.
You can backup all your data in an external HDD. But that data will only work in YOUR console! You cannot copy it to another Wii U.
And if you/Nintendo formats your console, the backed up data won't work again.

Might just be superior luck for all we know.
Or the glitch has nothing to do with for glory.
I'll avoid it too tbh, but don't take it for granted it's related.
This exact situation happened to me late on the first day that we owned it. Note: "delete all files" does not work because update data will not delete (manually or as part of the system delete).
I had to box up my console and send it off (last Tuesday), so I am hoping to get it back before Christmas.
Really a bummer. The 2nd-level support guy I talked to on the phone said that they had been hearing about the problem all day(!). Fortunately, they did not charge me for the repair even though it is 14 months old (although they wanted to at first).
Edit: can't say if my son played "For Glory" mode or not ever, I did not. I was playing on a tube when it happened though after playing most of the day earlier on a flat screen/HDMI.
