Wait, so how do you enable items on Omega stages? I'm assuming it's a menu option?

Edit: Never mind!

 

[georly]

You filter by mode/game type and I can't see anything about friends, but there might be another way.

Could you perhaps upload the replays from your SD card to the web yourself like you can with images?

I think the replays you save yourself are just GAME DATA, and not actual video. The game can interpret it and replay it, but the file is meaningless to anything other than smash. Maybe Wii U version will allow youtube uploads? :/

Wait, so how do you enable items on Omega stages? I'm assuming it's a menu option?

Can't on demo, but in final retail copy 'omega mode' just determines stage type, not rules/items.

 

[Kouriozan]

Can't wait for Bowser detailed custom moves.
Fox looks alright.

 

[ffdgh]

So how's the balance looking so far?

To everyone who has the Japanese version: Who is your favorite character to play as so far?

Sheik cause she's sheik

She is also fast and powerful.

Liking her better than the E3 build?

To everyone who has the Japanese version: Who is your favorite character to play as so far?

Zero Suit Samus. Those aerials are seriously something else.

Been actually enjoying Shulk a fair bit, too.

 

[Fandangox]

Yeah, I agree.

 

[Speedwagon]

Are there translations for the challenges posted anywhere yet? I really want to do them all.

 

[georly]

I've only unlocked a couple. Up b 2 is a HUGE vertical up air, but less vertical control.

Down b 2 forces horizontal distance and adds a pushback effect to his sides once he lands.

Sheik cause she's sheik

She is also fast and powerful.

I feel like they did such a better job balancing this time around. All these shit-tier people in brawl are back to being alright. Even ganondorf is ok. I just won 5 for glory matches in a row with him.

 

[Moodkip]

Yup, been compiling them

Thank you!!

Hmm... not impressed with that trophy selection tbh. Way too much recent stuff.

 

[StayDead]

To everyone who has the Japanese version: Who is your favorite character to play as so far?

Lucina, closely followed by Puff and Marth.

I became a Marth main in melee about a year and a half ago, but I've loved Fire Emblem for ages and adored Awakening so playing him and especially Lucina is awesome. I really like Puff too. The way she shouts purin as she does everything is so cute <3

 

[PKrockin]

Any footage?

I'm dying for video of someone playing Shulk competently.

 

[NeonZ]

Yo why do Rosalina and Palutena disappear when they dash? Like, they just disappear. It doesn't even look like a polished teleport move, nope. It looks like they are just glitching out.

I can understand Palutena being a goddess can disappear and stuff. But why Rosalina?

Rosalina pretty much became a goddess at some point. She doesn't even seem to be affected when the entire universe is rebooted at the end of Galaxy 1 and is the only person who clearly remembers its events in Galaxy 2.

 

[georly]

Just recorded a 5 minute match, anyone know what the limit is? Is it just your SD card? Way better than the 2 minute for brawl, at least

 

[ffdgh]

The galaxy! It was the galaxy! Heck if she is a goddess, she could have repaired the starship herself in hindsight lol.

Hard to say overall, but the difference between Mega Man and Bowser Jr. is massive.

 

[Revven]

Brawl's limit was actually 3 minutes.

So how's the balance looking so far?

Too early to say, it's always going to be "good balance" when the game first comes out because nobody knows what works yet or how to KO well, what combos well, etc etc. There haven't been many abusive moves found yet which is a good sign because by this point with Brawl DDD's Dthrow chaingrab was already found lol.

 

[theprodigy]

The galaxy! It was the galaxy! Heck if she is a goddess, she could have repaired the starship herself in hindsight lol.

eh we'll chalk that up to video game plot™

 

[StayDead]

In terms of balance I honestly think Palutena and Robin when found out are going to be a force to be reckoned with.

That and a bunch of other characters. There's so many good, varied characters this time.

 

[Kjellson]

I don't know if this is just the demo, but I've found out that if you pick random character you get the same character if you just press start at the CSS after the match. I must have gotten Pikachu three times in a row now because I chose random. Really annoying.

 

[Makai]

How do you save a match? I'll start doing this.

 

[Speedwagon]

To everyone who has the Japanese version: Who is your favorite character to play as so far?

Veteran: Captain Falcon

His running grab is so fast now, and his side-special being a kill move is great. Up-tilt can spike with his heal now, too, and his combo potential is certainly better than it was in Brawl.

Newcomer: Pac-Man

Great character with good moves all around. His neutral B is essentially a charged shot, but it changes to different fruits and objects with different throwing properties as it gets stronger.

 

[Tenck]

To everyone who has the Japanese version: Who is your favorite character to play as so far?

Zero Suit Samus is my favorite. She can hurt you real bad. If you let her get in your face she can easily wreck you. Her down b closes the gap on people too if they're trying to get away. She's so hard to shake off. Second favorite is princess Zelda. Only complaint I got it's her summoning phantom skill. I rarely land it. But it's easy to kill with her other moves.

 

[SixStringPsycho]

Is there a list with all the unlockables characters?

 

[PKGaming]

Does anyone think custom moves will be used at all in competitive play or will players have to deal with whatever the character's default moves are? Like, for example, if Little Mac has better recovery options in his custom moves, I'd definitely wanna use those. But will I be able to if, by competitive rules, I can only use default?

 

[georly]

How do you save a match? I'll start doing this.

Once you get the 'results' screen where it's showing the bonuses, there's a little indicator that says to press 'Y'. Press Y

Trying a 10 minute match, once it's done i'll take a screenshot to show you

They're being allowed until they are proven broken and/or problematic.

I wouldn't do what I did and try and unlock everyone through classic. I got most then couldn't work out how to get the last 2 (not the two in this list) so I then had to do the matches anyway haha.

I thought the large majority of TOs were on board with custom moves, especially after finding out that you could customize them from the CSS.

 

[astrogamer]

Thank you!!

Hmm... not impressed with that trophy selection tbh. Way too much recent stuff.

Interestingly enough, if you notice, most of the trophies are actually based on the handheld entries. All the karts are from Mario Kart 7, the F-Zero stuff can be attributed to the original as well as the GBA F-Zero, the Zelda stuff is almost entirely from Spirit Tracks and OoT3D, Star Fox stuff is mostly from Star Fox 3D and Command, and a huge chunk of the other category entries are for the handheld IPs they created

 

[Lunar15]

Hey JoeInky, keep up the good work with these custom move descriptions. They're easily the most intriguing thing about the game to me so far. They don't seem game breaking either, at least not yet.

 

[Reveirg]

Oh man, I had wrongly assumed that every track in the game would be a rearrangement. I'm really disappointed to see they're just using the original games' tracks as is. There's not even one Xenoblade arrangement =(.

 

[Azure J]

Previous characters (click to view)


This time I'm doing fox only, final destination, no items. I actually like his playstyle in this game other than the fact that his laser seems nerfed and his reflector is no longer cancellable so it's pretty useless, but he has a few customs that are fun, especially his recovery. His normals also feel pretty good generally, so I may pick him up soon.

Man, these customs are seriously making me take second looks at so many characters. Charge Blaster, Fox Flash, Barrel Roll & Pulse Reflector sounds like such a wild combination.

 

[Hatchtag]

So how's the balance looking so far?

With custom moves, everyone is broken. Otherwise, everyone except Little Mac and maybe Megaman and Shulk is decent.

 

[kuroneko0509]

So far manage to record almost 8 minutes match. Dunno the limit yet.

;_; ;_; :_;

I actually saw a good Little Mac on stream earlier today. He took down Vex playing DDD!

It seems that the secret to Mac, unlocked after 48 hours of ancient training and hidden lore, is "don't jump off the side of the stage like a dumbass, stay in the middle and bait them out."

Is that stream still up? If not, can you link it anyway for when it starts back up?

I'd wait for the Wii U game before coming to that assumption.

 

[iirate]

Any good Samus videos or impressions out there?

 

[astrogamer]

To everyone who has the Japanese version: Who is your favorite character to play as so far?

I don't have it but I have played it.
I think my favorite newcomer to play is Shulk, followed by Greninja and Pac-Man. As for Veterans, I'm thinking of sticking with Dedede and Olimar though Link was nicely buffed

 

[Puruzi]

How's Little Mac?

 

[Fandangox]

Oh man, I had wrongly assumed that every track in the game would be a rearrangement. I'm really disappointed to see they're just using the original games' tracks as is. There's not even one Xenoblade arrangement =(.

Shulk's trailet had a rearrangement of Gaur Plain. It will most likely play in the Wii U version of the stage if it doesn't already on the 3DS one.

I saw that. Love how smug he was about it being so easy to gimp him. Then Mac just hung around the center and basically jabbed him to death. Amazing. lol
