What the heck the battle system is almost too simple and the reason I couldn't play all the way through the game

I'm sure I was playing it wrong because it's so bad, but it came off as having all these different moves with different effects that you somehow chained together, while at the same time just boiling down to spam abilities and wait for them to recharge. I guess boring would have been a better word. v:geno:v

I don't really like Shulk's face in this game, he looks too young and it's kind of off putting. Also, Reyn not being in the final smash is one of the biggest crimes I've ever seen committed. Rikki and Dunban better not be the only people he can summon.

On another note, does anyone know how well Xenoblade sold? I like the game a lot, but I thought it just sold alright, so it strikes me as a bit odd they actually put him in the game.

It sold well enough to get a sequel, take that how you will.

I liked Xenoblade Chronicles a lot. I also liked Fire Emblem: Awakening a lot. I have put over a hundred hours in both games and I don't regret it all. I'm super stoked that I'll get to play as Robin and Shulk in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U because they are both great characters from great games that I love. Thank you for reading.

Xenoblade sold about 800k worldwide (half of that being in the US), which is pretty respectable for a game like that, especially taking limited releases into account.

I really enjoyed my playthrough of Xenoblade and the soundtrack, but I totally saw it as a "podcast game" inbetween cutscenes and boss fights because there are definitely some grindy sections in it. I've been playing FE:A on classic and hard recently and ran out of steam at around chapter 22, it's fun but man I suck at it.

This is the Smash Bros. thread. It's not enough that people simply don't play a game. They also have to post about everyone that does play it having objectively literally wrong opinions that are bad, and then whine about why does character X from stupid loser baby game Y get a slot.

You're right, it deserves twenty.

They've already confirmed you can't use customizable characters in the "for glory" mode, but you should be able to if you add those defeatable children as friends and play them in "for fun."

e: right, it's With Friends not For Fun, sorry.

You can use customized poo poo online in With Friends mode. You can't use any of it in For Glory.

You can't use it in For Fun either.

With Anyone has two modes, For Fun and For Glory. For Glory is no items FD. For Glory is random stages items. You can't use custom characters in either of them.

With Friends you can customize any way you like. You can use custom characters there.

Thanks, but man, that's sad to hear. Like make it a separate queue or whatever, but custom stats/moves should be usable online without having to add them personally.

It would make the game unfair and you know how Smash people get about fairness.

Unless you're talking about the Ridley thing and that's just people holding onto hope that there's a playable version.

The way I've found that sums up Xenoblade the best is this: if you like action rpgs to be kinda slow and deep with their combat (final fantasy XIII, most MMOs) you'll love it, but if you like your arpgs to be more fast and comboy (tales of series) you'll find it a boring slog.

They could possibly expand the bosses past rigid, specific patterns for the purposes of a hypothetical Boss Smash. The Yellow Devil had some cool moves in Power Fighters he could pull off to really turn up the heat on Wily's Castle.

That said, yeah, its just a rumor a lot of people look at and think "huh, that'd be neat." I doubt anyone's treating it as gospel.

Yellow Devil doesn't even feel like a "boss character" to me. he has no actual AI or patterns, he just slides back and forth, shoots some lasers, and then fucks off for a minute or two. If the rest of the bosses suck balls like he does then I'll be disappointed

This is the kind of thing I wish they'd really take advantage of DLC for and probably won't. Let people customize more as requests come in. Turn off (or down) appearance of the Yellow Devil, add a Battlefield version of stages in addition to Final Destination, that kind of thing.
