Ganondorf's Jab now does 10% instead of the old 6%, and I have heard that Sonic's back throw is not as strong as a kill move now.

Got my Mewtwo code, but trying to enter it just brings up a message distribution hasn't started yet. Anyone else having this issue? I'm in Canada, if that helps. Only tried the Wii U code so far.

I'm still waiting too. What on earth? Why can't I just have the code through Club Nintendo? Nintendo please

If you are too close then it is a weaker hit.

gently caress. This and no custom moves makes DLC seem less exciting now.

I was about to say the same thing. As well, Mewtwo tends to play just like he did in melee, so no surprises to anyone who doesn't have him yet.


EDIT: I'm getting a message on the Wii U saying "this item isn't being distributed yet". This is kind of funny.

So Mewtwo is pretty good. Smash attacks have good power. Upsmash is a great move if it hits but super punishable if you whiff. Source: Played through Classic on Intensity 9 and All-Star on Hard with Mewtwo.

Can't confirm this or playtest for proof but according to sites such as Smashboards, Meta Knight got buffed. He has a bit more range on down air and forward smash, less lag frames for a few moves, and his free fall states allow him to re grab the ledge.

You probably do. If you've opted out of emails, how will they email you?

Probably. But to be fair all 3 of them were middling at best so it's not like they were undeserved. Dedede got some kind of minor buff too I think

He needs to receive a significant buff in the form of allowing us to choose his Shiny skin in character select.

Seriously they have him in all colors of the loving rainbow but not the black and tan shiny palette for some reason

Even Smashboards has a ton of speculation. The only thing that seems confirmed are changes to Shulk and Diddy. Also they apparently reduced Luma's HP by 4.

But as for speed/knockback/frame changes it's a lot more speculative.

Shulk would be more fun to play as and against with shorter Monado times and general buffs when not Monado'd.

what do you mean that hotkey disappeared
My Mewtwo codes arrived and I went straight to the custom character menu to check he rumours about Mewtwo's specials - or lack thereof.



The rumours turned about to be true: Mewtwo has no alternate specials. Shame.

The Saga

:siren: STUPID NEW GLITCH FOUND, DO NOT PLAY 10-MAN SMASH :siren:

So, as it turns out, if you play 10-Man Smash with Mewtwo (might be with anyone post-patch - no way to confirm this), for some reason, your GSP for 10-Man Smash is set to 0. At least on the character select screen - it's still correct in the Vault stats.

This makes it so you can't go online due to "irregular save data". So until Nintendo fixes this, whelp, here I am.

So yeah don't play 10-Man Smash after you've patched.
