Is there any word on whether this game has a music slider for selecting tracks for specific stages like brawl did? Honestly, that was such a smart, cool little feature

Yes.

I take it you've never played Game & Wario? :v: The gimmick of the Gamer mode is to play microgames under the covers while making sure 9-Volt's mom doesn't catch wind of him. One thing she can do is pop out of the TV and it's absolutely terrifying. :allears:

After playing more with the pro controller I decided I officially hate that clicky joysticks became a thing. I can't think of a single Wii U game that even uses them. It causes the stick to make occasional creaky noises when I'm smashing hard so I worry about breaking it.

Wonderful 101 uses them to let you cancel the Wonder Liner without pulling all of your Wonderful Ones together. I think Hyrule Warriors uses them too for items, but I'm not sure. I do agree that they kinda suck though.

Hey guys, I have a Wii U, but I only have the touchscreen and a wii mote + nunchuk, If I were to get this game I'd need more controllers for my friends. What would be my best option?

If you can find a gamecube controller adapter, get that and buy a few gamecube controllers. They should go for $30 a pop with the adapter at $20, so you'll need to drop $110 for three controllers this way. If this isn't an option, you'll need to get pro controllers at $50 a pop. Alternatively, you can connect to 3DS systems so long as they're running Smash, so you can always make your friends bring their own controllers/3DSes.

This isn't intended behavior, is it?

When you quit out of Smash mode, you're supposed to scan in your Amiibo to save its progress. Don't just turn the system off or quit to the menu without backing out of the character select screen proper.

Serious question, and I mean no disrespect, but are there people out there above the age of 13 that actually play skylanders?

Don't get me wrong, my son is 8 and he has a million of those drat things, but he's not so good at video games so he asks me to help him sometimes and when I played those games I thought they were the epitome of 'not fun'. Of course, now he has so many skylanders that it doesn't matter how bad he is at games, he still rolls through the game with no challenge.

I could just be jealous that I didn't come up with the idea for skylanders though, talk about a license to print money. I watch him play skylanders and it just makes me sad that he could be playing a really well designed and well thought out mario game instead :(. I think he beat the last skylanders on Christmas Day last year, and I'm not sure if he's really touched it since then...

I have a good friend who's 21 and he plays Skylanders.

Even if you don't like the Amiibo functionality, they're still official Nintendo figurines you can just decorate a shelf or desk with. I honestly don't give a poo poo about Amiibo functionality (except for Mario Kart 8 with the Captain Falcon Amiibo :swoon:), but I really like the idea of having a bunch of Nintendo figurines on my desk. Also the current set of Amiibo are literally physical Smash Bros trophies and I've always wanted a few real ones and now I can have them.

If it helps make you less mad at them, think of them as toys with a bonus feature attached, not features you have to buy a toy to use. Your game is perfectly functional without the Amiibos.

Anyone not playing with a gamecube controller should do this. Oh my god it feels so much nicer than the default.

You can tap it to your gamepad in Smash mode and have a little AI buddy fight you and it'll learn how to fight based on how you play, then you can take your Amiibo to a friend's house and pit your Amiibo against theirs like they're Pokemon.

I played against a guy in For Glory once. Our first match, ignoring the fact that he completely stomped me, went pretty smoothly. No complaints. Second match there's a minor lag spike and he immediately and purposely SDs twice and leaves the match as fast as possible.

The big baby attitude that I can only imagine he had (literally-- we didn't voice chat so I'm just assuming) kinda soured me on For Glory and I mostly just play with friends.

Some people just don't like playing with lag and would rather get out early before the game turns into Super Slideshow Bros for Wii U. :shrug:

It was the graveyard scene in MGS4 that brought them back together. Say what you will about it, someone at KojiPro engineered a legitimate father-son reunion out of that scene.

Charge characters are characters like Guile in Street Fighter where you have to hold the directional input to and then input another command to do special (I think it's like hold back on the stick, then quickly press forward and Punch to do Sonic Boom, as Guile). I don't know charge characters well but I think the idea is hold your ground and defend until you can take advantage of an opening.

So... who likes tier lists? I think they can be pretty fun.

This is apparently the current Japanese ranking, based on tournament results.


The discussion I've seen on this is hilarious, as people keep saying "that seems wrong" about poo poo, when it's not a judgement at all, just a ranking of actual performance. It's obviously going to be pretty wonky with the relatively small sample size, but random forum-goers with gut tier lists getting all huffy, criticizing this actually objective (if not especially meaningful) one, is amusing.

Still, it's interesting how far Marth and Lucina have fallen.

The last version of this list might have been the basis for the nerfs/buffs in the last patch, so this might actually be relevant at some point.

I don't feel like Robin should be that low, but if that means he/she' might get a buff I'm all for it.
