Re: Super Smash Bros.: Wii U / 3DS
In Smash Run, ghosts are the "demonic spider" enemies.
Yellow Ghosts have shields that deflect all attacks except grabs. Gastly are just flat-out immune to everything but projectiles.
And an announcement about the Pic of the Day feature
- Secret stuff won't be discussed until the 3DS version is released in the rest of the world
- Sakurai plans on posting stuff until the release of the Wii U version
- The PotD will be more about interesting and funny screenshots Sakurai intended it to be rather than the infodump it turned into.

Re: Super Smash Bros.: Wii U / 3DS
I have already decided: house rules will be banning the Gust Jar once the game goes live. Every time I pick that thing up I get 3+ KOs with little to no effort. It is incredibly cheap.
Based on what I've seen, I've already come up with a house rules ban list for items. When playing with my brothers and friends we often restrict a few items, generally the ones that are super-cheap or make gameplay drag. Here's what I've got.
Definitely banned
[*]All Healing items, including the Fairy Bottle
[*]Both Hammers - even with the chance of failure they're still super cheap
[*]Starman - Invincibility is cheap
[*]Metal Box - This is more my brother than me, but it's banned for similar reasons to the Starman
[*]Gust Jar - See above
[*]Cloaking Device (if it's in 4, we always banned it in Melee for being stupid)
Maybe banned
[*]Smash Orb - Banned if people want it banned, as it is basically free kills, especially with certain characters. Depending on who's playing though it could stay in play. I wouldn't remove it personally.
[*]Galaga/Scout Beetle - Grab a player and drag them off the top of the screen? Not sure if I want those.
[*]Master Ball - Legendary Pokemon can already appear in regular Pokeballs, I don't see a need to guarantee them.
[*]S-Flag - Based on it's description, it's a free point/life.
[*]Warp Star - I think we used to ban these too, you can't block them and they're very hard to dodge if you can't get away

This is hard to be cool and suave while being informative at the same time. Goddamn my coolness.
In my experience, common sense isn't too common.

Re: Super Smash Bros.: Wii U / 3DS
Should probably ban the Dragoon and Daybreak as well. They're basically a DIY Final Smash. And the Boss Galaga and Beetle can be escaped from.
Anyway, new Stage revealed for the Wii U version: Gamer. Based on 9-Volt's stage in Game & Wario.
Hide in the shadows to evade 9-Volt's mom. She'll kick your butt.

Re: Super Smash Bros.: Wii U / 3DS
It's interesting hearing Character impressions from various smash boards. It seems the metagame for this game is a lot more balanced with some characters having unique playstyles that are well realized. For example, little Mac has a very obvious flaw in that if you get him in the air, he’s helpless but his ground game is so amazing he makes up for it.

Re: Super Smash Bros.: Wii U / 3DS
The escape is why I put the Galaga and Beetle on the maybe list. We generally didn't ban Dragoon because we all agreed that you have to fight for them. When everyone's kicking ass collecting all three parts isn't too easy, and you still have to aim the ship itself. I think Daybreak will fall under a similar thing, though Daybreak is a lot easier to aim than Dragoon and has the potential to grab multiple opponents. Daybreak may be put on the maybe, but for now the Dragoon stays legal.Supreveio wrote:Should probably ban the Dragoon and Daybreak as well. They're basically a DIY Final Smash.

Street Smash information
http://www.smashbros.com/us/3ds/gamemode/entry4.html
Basically it's a game of bumper cars where the object is to knock the other tokens off the map, said tokens being Street Pass passerbys.. Like the main brawl, each hit increases the distance you'll go. Each token knocked out that's not your own gets you cash. Surviving nets you more cash.

Re: Super Smash Bros.: Wii U / 3DS
Somebody with a Japanese copy of the game put together a compilation of all Final Smashes and character taunts. Be warned that if you're not into spoilers, it also demonstrates the Final Smashes of the characters that haven't been revealed on the US site, so watch at your own risk.

Re: Super Smash Bros.: Wii U / 3DS
The Wii U Star Fox stage we saw a picture of a while ago was revealed.
The Orbital Gate from Assault. It's a stage similar to the Pilotwings stage.
Fight on the Great Fox, transfer to one of the Aparoid Missiles, then onto the Arwings.

Re: Super Smash Bros.: Wii U / 3DS
For those who don't already know, there's an update available for SSB 3DS on the eShop today prior to release. It's a good idea to download it now in order to save yourself the trouble of trying to do it when the eShop is getting slammed tonight. You'll need it in order to play online.

Re: Super Smash Bros.: Wii U / 3DS
The "Secret" characters that everyone's known about for the past two weeks are starting to be revealed. Three character pages are available on a secondary page that the site asks you if you want to see the spoilers. I don't understand why they don't just outright reveal everyone though, it's not like we don't already know about them thanks to the likes of Youtube, Twitch, and people who can understand Japanese. Not to mention the game is officially released in the US.
In case people really do care about that, the three revealed are also spoilered.

Re: Super Smash Bros.: Wii U / 3DS
A lot of people (myself included) have been actively avoiding spoilers in order to be able to explore the games and learn what the secret unlockables are for themselves. I appreciate that websites with game info are marking things like that as spoilers - there were a couple of things about the game I wanted to look up beforehand, but I had to do so extremely carefully so as to avoid learning the secret stuff before finding it in-game myself.Zork Nemesis wrote:The "Secret" characters that everyone's known about for the past two weeks are starting to be revealed.

Re: Super Smash Bros.: Wii U / 3DS
Quick heads up for people buying the physical copy: the Club Nintendo registration code is on the back of the outer-packaging display, as in the thing covering the blank case.
Booting up the game for the first time nets a milestone...
Nintendo I am disapoint: Lucario's shiny coloration is NOT one of his alternate skins.
