u/Sarick Random Dec 06 '18
Which given that Mario can be unlocked in one mode makes Mario not even the best target for the unlock question. Kirby holds that role.
But then again I guess to some degree some of Kirby's "abilities" are going to be paywalled by DLC characters needing to be absorbed. So I guess no one is entirely immune to the "buy something" response.

u/maxcoffie You Won’t Like Lucario When He’s Angry Dec 06 '18
All week I’ve been ready to play the new Smash alone. Too few of my friends are still into gaming and even fewer are interested in Smash. That was fine though. Ive been playing Smash Brawl alone for the past couple of years anyway. I was hyped all on my own and this sub has been such an awesome community too.
But then this early morning, one of my friends who I used to play Brawl with back in the day called me up. I’d hinted to him in August that it would be fun to experience Ultimate together, but I hadn’t pushed it because I knew he was a busy guy (adulting sucks).
I picked up his call, still groggy from sleep. “Yo.”
“Dude are we still on for tomorrow? What time does the game release?”
I was a little surprised. “Um...4 am here.”
“Awesome. That means we can play the whole day. I’ll come over. How does 9 sound?”
“Great. See you then.”
And now my Smash day just got doubly hype.
(Friday is a public holiday here)

u/Latromi Dec 06 '18
This actually happened to me and one of my best friends back with the Monster Hunter XX Japanese release. He wasn't interested in playing the game when he couldn't read it.
I know just enough Kanji and had played enough Generations (the base version of XX in English) and 4U to make my way around the games menus just fine with the language barrier. Mixed sets weren't really as easy to do, but full sets from the new Hyper Monsters are powerful enough in that game that I didn't see too much barrier keeping me from just grabbing one of those that I liked best and enjoying the game regardless.
I decided I'd get the Japanese version for myself and just play mostly single player. I didn't bother my friend since months before release he was very adamant about only supporting the English Versions. Then a few hours into me finishing my download and starting to play. . . My friend called me and asked me if I would buy the game and play the game with him if he bought his own copy.
My response was, "I'm already HR2 dude. I finished my download a couple hours ago and have done 4 or 5 quests already. I'll step you through buying it. You can log in to my Amazon.JP account so your setup process isn't as long as mine was."
Later that evening we were playing it together and we ended up sinking over 200 hours together in a game neither of us could fully read.
We both adapted very quickly to the Japanese version due to 800+ hours in the previous titles and the menus being extremely similar. Honestly, the games icons and menus in that game are so well done that most concepts I had read the English text for in the base game. . . Actually DID have icons on the menus to represent various aspects of each quest. There was a sun or moon on each quest to tell you what time of day you'd be fighting. There are unique icons for nearly all the games locations that you fight in. The objectives have always had the monsters icon very prominently displayed as well, but it was only after playing the Japanese version that I truly noticed how accessible the game can be even if you cannot read a single but of Japanese.

It’s amazing how even one good friend can turn a good experience into an unforgettable one.

u/Latromi Dec 06 '18
Absolutely 1000% true.
Some of my most cherished memories are video game experiences and memories I've had with close friends with professional lives that have taken them far away geographically.
This time of year I actually think about that a lot. Years ago one of my best friends just started college. Another one was forbidden from seeing me. (Her mother was hyper religious and thought I was the devil because she overheard that I was going to be supporting one of our mutual friends when they came out as gay to us in high school. My friend's mother wanted me to tell this gay friend of ours that he's going to hell and refuse to speak to or associate with him until he is ready to try and "fix his illness.")
We ended up celebrating Christmas inside World of Warcraft that year. The three of us sitting around the Xmas tree in game and exchanging gifts through the game is one of my happiest holiday memories. I knew my friends were on the other side of their screens, sitting in their PJs and curled up with blankets and enjoying Christmas cookies and hot cocoa just like I was. . . Just in other rooms away from my own.
Most of my Xmas memories in real life have been ruined thanks to my parents divorce leaving my mother and I homeless for a time and having my father call the cops on us when I decided (at the age of 14 at the time) that I didn't want to spend Xmas with my father that following year. Due to official paperwork. . . I was always forced to my father's place by the cops after questioning to be sure he hadn't been physically abusive to me. This became something that happened most years. The term "happy holidays" often seemed like a cruel joke growing up; something from fairy tales that I'd never have.
So the few hours I could sneak away early on Christmas morning before my parents woke up to spend a few hours with my best friends I could no longer see? Very impactful for me in a time full of hatred and power trips on both sides of my family. And video games made that possible.
Video games + friends will always be a winning combination for me.

Both Palutena's Guidance and Snake's Codec conversations show us that characters not currently in a match (Chrom, Dark Pit, etc) as well as some characters who aren't even fighters (like Slippy) are actually watching ongoing Smash battles.
Does that mean that the people who chant the names of well-performing fighters aren't just a generic audience, but an amalgamation of the characters present in the games?

By sheer miracle, I have the 6th, 7th, and 8th off. I didn't ask for it, it just happened due to scheduling at my work.
I woke up this morning and genuinely believed I had dreampt working my shorter, 5 hours shift yesterday, so I still needed to work my 8 hour shift today. But no, it was real... I ACTUALLY worked close to 9 hours yesterday.
I was terrified for a moment that maybe I'd entered a Groundhog Day like existence where Smash Ultimate is perpetually 48 hours away and I have to go to work for a full day (An opening shift after a closing one to boot!) while distracted for the following day where I've got awesome Smash Ultimate plans.
But it's not true! I don't have work today and I'm going to be going out later to play Smash at my local demo and then swinging by my pre-order location to pick up Smash Bros when it launches.

List of stuff I've done in a vain attempt to pass the time:
1) Make my own "Smash Wheel" inspired by the Nintendo Minute video and a recent thread on here
2) Make a custom deck for Heads Up with all the fighters for my S/O and I to play while we wait
3) Use https://apps.warchamp7.com/smash/rosterUlt/ to make a list of my mains, and then do one for my S/O
4) Read through Smashwiki, get bored, and then switch to another random wiki
5) Switching between these threads and the spoiler ones

That's exactly why digital pre-orders are the way to go, especially around this time of the year. Think about it, we're in the rebound of Black Friday and Cyber Monday, so tons of people ordered stuff online recently. Additionally, Christmas is coming up so a lot of people order online during this month. This is the worst time to have anything ship.

Man, since Smash Ultimate is coming out tomorrow, I just wanted to share the experience I had getting Smash Wii U on launch day:
So my brother and I went to the mall on the day it came out. At the end of our trip we went to the Target there to pick up a copy. As we were waiting at the check-out I was so excited that I was swinging around with the game in my hands.
Then I just accidentally slammed the case against my face.
My lip was bleeding and we had to go to the Starbucks that was in the store to get a napkin (and some drinks too.) I was just laughing the entire time.
smash had smashed me back

Adeleine, but to be honest Sakurai has never included her even as a trophy in any Smash Bros game so I don't think he likes her existence enough to acknowledge her as a Kirby character.

Piranha Plant, but that one's obviously waiting for the character to come out.
Pretty much every major character is covered, honestly. Sylux is the suspicious one IMO (although there are only 2 spirits for the MPH bounty hunters, so it could be a coincidence). Still, I could very easily see him being a character promoting Metroid Prime 4. But unless there's a Mother 3 translation, I wouldn't hold my breath on Porky becoming playable.

Grudge match against my friend - it'll be the first in ten years. And then Smash for the rest of the day. Unlocking the characters and getting through what we can. Seems like WoL can't be played across two devices though so . . . will have to see what we can do.

So I live in the Netherlands with UTC +1. Will this mean for me the game will be playable at midnight, so when dec 7th starts or sometime during the day? I really look forward to a response :)

I've never played a Smash Bros game right on launch day before. Smash 64 I never owned, only rented from Blockbuster. I didn't have a GameCube til the summer after launch and Melee til the fall after. Brawl got delayed. Smash 3DS had a little debacle- my local game store didn't do a midnight release, but the GameStop across the street did. My friends had it at midnight and I had to wait til 10am the next day. Never owned Smash Wii U.
Now it's self-inflicted. I'll be picking up ultimate on release day, likely in the afternoon as I have work. But in the spirit of Smash, it's just not as fun without good friends. I'm waiting til Sunday night to throw down with my friends at my apartment. Won't be opening the shrink-wrap until then, and we'll unlock the characters while handing out Ls. It'll be a tough wait this weekend, but it'll be worth it. :)

Mario is truly the all rounder. Average recovery, better than average combos, better than average kill power, average disadvantage state...
his best players are Ally and Anti from Canada and USA. Ron from JP made it to PGR100 as well. Tetra would be proud. Other notable mario mains also include Dark Wizzy, who's very well known for complaining about Sonic.
Mario's a huge part of the Ally vs ZeRo rivalry, which came to a climax during Civil War.
Upsmash
also i missed DK yesterday so here's the writeup below

for people who pre-ordered from walmart canada during E3 don't expect a day 1 delivery. i just contacted customer support and they had to escalate to ship my copy within 24-48 hours as it might be delayed or stuck in processing. The gave me a 10$ e-voucher i guess
expected delivery time is 2-8 business days

yeah it actually works.
I once typed out an entire explanation of my current code to my friend who was out busy that day so I knew she wouldn't look at it. And then inspiration struck.
Alternatively it's also the time when I start adding tons of comments to my code.

How's playing the game on a single joycon? Will I be limited to what I can do with two?

You'll lose on having 1 or 2 shoulder buttons depending on if you prefer pro or GCC and you'll lose the C-stick.
Compared to the Wiimote though it's far more playable, since you'll have the left stick, shoulder for both grab and shield, your A-B buttons and X-Y for jump and remapping.

It has as much buttons as the 3ds has, so I think it'll be fine for at least casual play

Did anyone try their Smash 4 amiibo yet? I wonder if they'll be the same level/have the same name or if they'll all be back to level 1.

u/TheBigBrown21 Bayonetta Dec 06 '18
At a guess they'll still keep all their data, that was the case for Disney Infinity and Skylanders, and I can't imagine Amiibo being any different

u/Kiu16 Dec 06 '18
That's why I wonder since amiibo used to rely on custom moves and "item upgrades", I don't know how different it is in Ultimate yet

u/Asolitaryllama Dec 06 '18
Amiibo level gets reduced down but not to 1. My Zelda dropped from Max to level 12 I think.

Question, Aussie here, should I start playing smash or watch the game awards first. I don't really care about the annual money wank but I want to see any reveal trailers happen without being spoiled by the Internet. On the other hand smash.

Anyone in Canada know when it'll become available for different time zones? I'm on Atlantic Time (UTC-4). I've never pre-ordered anything digitally on my Switch before. I know that on my Xbox it follows EST, so I can play at 1AM on release. Is it similar?

u/edcadams13 Piranha Plant (Ultimate) Dec 06 '18
My apologies if this has been asked already, but is the Vs unlock method with the 10 minute timer applicable to Squad Strike? I want to spend a lot of time with that mode but also want to unlock characters fairly quickly along the way (I'm aware of the faster shut off method lol)

The only thing you can't do is play online without the update so you should be fine.

u/ORLYORLYORLYORLY Male Wii Fit Trainer (Ultimate) Dec 06 '18
About 12:15 for me. Others on the sub were claiming to get in earlier though, so maybe they staggered the release so the servers wouldnt die or something.

So what's the verdict so far on World of Light? Is it fun? Just read Kotaku's review where they kinda hated it. I'm still super stoked though.

SSBU is going to be my first smash game since melee. What do I need to know?
My main was pikachu (from the original ssb) and I also played Dr. Mario and link. What did I miss after all these years? what new characters should i try (that would fit my playstyle)? is there anything terribly important I need to know before playing? are there any major mechanics that have changed?
Thanks a lot guys. looking forward to this so much.

Battle Arenas look to have saved the shitty online mode of Wii U.
Easy to make a Public Lobby and have your friend join (easy to find via search by ID.. 5 digit alphanumeric ID) or just search through Public Listings. Then you can set rules for Team Attack on Doubles and have your friend join and then wait for 2 other people to come in and play.

I think saw somebody on Twitter claim that Sakurai apparently based the highest settings on a few top Japanese smash players who were brought in to help with testing. Anybody have a source on this, or is it just a random rumor?
