So according to this Nintendo controller scheme article, I can use a 3DS as a controller for Smash U if I have a copy of Smash 3DS...?

It doesn't make sense that you'd need the game to use it as a controller, but I don't see this affecting anyone ever.

the giantbomb review had a line about it, and some random amateur sites

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

Since there's still no ETA of more Gamecube adapters, you may have more luck preordering from the UK (Nov 28) or Japan (Dec 06).

Japan also has a bundle of just the controller (black or white) and adapter for ~$50 shipped, but you'll have to wait longer.

Everyone I know calls the right stick a C-stick if they're playing Smash.

The nipple contour of the C-stick is easier to flick than a regular stick, so that's slightly more comfortable.

I hate the layout of the gamepad/pro controller though. It's like the 360 controller, but bad. I'll stick to classic controller pro for Wii U games.

What's the controller scheme that people are using with the GC controller? Just changing the C-stick to attack versus smash?

For this game, yes. Unfortunately the c-stick is buggy and halts your momentum for aerials, unless you use this control scheme as a workaround. It forces you to use A for Smash attacks but that's the lesser of two evils.

Is it buggy or intended that way? After all controlling normally you have to stop your momentum for aerials.

Oops, sorry I got that wrong. It's not that your momentum is stopped, it's that you're locked into that momentum while attacking.

You can charge smash attacks with the C-stick this time around, and it appears to be a side effect of that. Basically unless you 'flick' the stick perfectly, the game becomes confused and thinks you are charging a smash attack, even though you are in the air, and thus you cannot move until the move finishes. It's not intentional.

Mew2king is one of the campiest Smash players in existence. Even in Melee he'll often abuse Sheik's up-B to stay invincible on the ledge. He's mainly the reason that Brawl had a ledgegrab limit.

It doesn't seem like his Sonic has been fruitful, so I'm hopeful that the game will stay aggressive like what we've seen.

I'm not watching whatever stream is going on right now but why not? I like that stage. Seems pretty straightforward.

The grass hides traps such as the can and Sheriff. The platforms are too high for Little Mac and Ganondorf to reach. The collision of the platforms isn't clear, and the stage is generally busy.

I'm not ruling it out but there are already a lot of legal stages and it doesn't make a good first impression. The commentators were saying as such.

I don't know how counterpick bans work but can't Little Macs and Ganondorfs, in tournament setting, just say no Duck Hunt for the counterpick?

It depends on how drastically it affects character balance. If there are multiple large stages with platforms that give them trouble, and they can only ban one stage, then they'll always get hosed over by the counterpick. Likewise if Duck Hunt Dog winds up being high tier, they'll probably want to ban stages that give him even more of an advantage.

The problem is getting them, Smooth Lander you can just Hammer but Heavy Gravity is completely random isn't it?

Heavy gravity is a special mode, which unfortunately means you can't play it online even with friends.

For everyone who missed them :siren: Gamecube adapters are being restocked by Gamestop on Dec. 15th. They can be pre-ordered online at retail price :siren:

I don't know if this means that Nintendo is actually sending out a second shipment or if Gamestop worked out some deal to get more from a different source, but get 'em before they sell out again.

I tried preordering from both Europe and Japan, and both were cancelled, I got on this and hopefully 3rd time's a charm.
