The first match I played shortly after release last night worked great. Done about 5 online matches since then and they have all had horrendous lag. Spectating works fine though.

I've only had one out of 6 that was bad, and even then it was only for the first 30-60 seconds.

Had a decent time playing 4-player against pubbies and did pretty well with two 1st's, one 2nd, one 3rd. Then went 1v1 and only did 20% damage to the guy, and that was on the second stock. Holy.

Probably takes only one person with a lovely connection to ruin it for the other three, unfortunately. At least this time, you don't have to worry about people playing on McDonald's wifi and poo poo like that. I've had OK luck so far, but most of the matches would get occasional little micro-lag jitters that really threw off my momentum.

I passed on a bundle earlier because I already have the game. If only I'd known you wanted...nay, needed one.

I don't want an adapter because I don't like the gamecube controller better than the other control schemes. :)

I think I still prefer the cube controller but the pro is good enough that I wouldn't have thrown down for the adaptor if I didn't already have a few cube controllers lying around

Its basically every person in their 20-30's salty cross to bear that X character is not in this game but N characters from Y series are in the game instead.

Pick yer favourite:
Ridley, Roy, Mewtwo, Ganondorf with sword, F zero driver, Space Animal, Isaac, Lloyd, Waddle Dee, Kirby with Powers from his own games, Impa, Skull Kid, King K. Rool, Dixie Kong, Any of the other Kongs, Daisy, Toad, Andy or Sammy from advance wars, Midna, Geno, Mallow, Someone from one of the numerous awful GCN Card RPGs, and a hundred more I cant even remember that have "Technically been in a game on a Nintendo Console".

Wait so you can bet more then twice in a row on the Wii U spectate? I might just collect data for 20 matches in a row and use this to pump up my coin total since I don't feel like going through classic allstar and smash-whatever with every character again so soon, but I want coins to try out the new Orders and use in the Trophy Shop.

Yeah, up to three times. And since everyone just got the game, a ton of matches are all 0% win total, x10 to bet. And you get repeat matches a lot since it's only been out less than a day.

If anyone is still looking for a bundle, I walked into Frys' electronics and they had like 5 and multiple stand alone adapters too. Give it a shot.

It's a valid point. It's one of Nintendo's more obscure series, but it has 4 characters while Earthbound has one.
