Well that sucks. Does your equipment transfer over at least?

You can transfer your custom fighters from the 3ds to Wii U to use them even if their moves and equipment aren't unlocked on Wii U yet. Even though it seems like transferring should unlock the moves and items, it apparently does not.

2 out of 3, not bad. :v:
Sonic is unexpected, though. Is it because most of his attacks seem to have stupidly good priority?

He's fast, has real combos, good grabs and followups, tons of mixups and options out of his side-b, and his up-b is crazy good since he can use A moves out of it, allowing him to chase you extremely high for combos. I've played a few good sonics on 4 glory and the sheer number of good options sonic has at any moment make him a challenging and dynamic opponent.

Got this game yesterday and so far I've been having a lot of fun playing Little Mac. I went online and did some For Glory matches and had a pretty rough but fun time; I haven't seen anyone talk about him in the last few pages, is he considered bad or just rarely played due to being new?

It's the opposite actually; the first few weeks of smash 3ds were filled with people spamming Mac in For Glory, but that's calmed down a bit now that most people know how to deal with him. Mac is a character with extreme strengths and weaknesses which informed players will take advantage of. As of a few weeks ago, he reportedly had the lowest win rate online. He's powerful, but that doesn't necessarily make him an easy character to play.

I notice they're doing 2-stock matches here at Xanadu, when it was 3 stocks for Brawl and 4 stocks for Melee. Is that the standard now for Smash 4? Is Smash 5 going to go to the logical extreme and do 1-stock matches?

Brawl tournaments have already switched to 1-stock matches, since that game is so slow and defensive. Here's a brawl tournament match from this May. Of course, they also do best of 5, so the matches still take some time.

Some equipment effects need to be unlocked via challenges like the smooth lander badge, but once you get those the effect can also be found on random drops.

Snake is actually in the smash 4, but he's so stealthy that nobody has actually found him yet. In order to even have a chance at unlocking him you'll have to figure out a way to defeat his octo camo. But you'd better hurry, because if nobody unlocks him by the end of the month, sakurai will nerf snake into UnViability for eternity

Also, the game mode where you choose a group of characters, and then you get one stock of each. It's the most fun game mode in any smash game.

This is actually in smash 4, but only as the final battle in smash tour mode lmao

Sooo, I just had Roy's up smash beat Greninja's Substitute. As in, the first hit set off the counter, and Greninja got hit anyway. It might just have been the angle, but I laughed pretty hard.

No greninja's counter is complete rear end, that kind of thing happens all the time

Yeah on the other hand with nearly charged moves you have to double tap b to get them out since your guy goes back to charging. Sometimes I have it charged so close to max that it reaches max in between my button presses and then the attack takes too long and I die lol. I guess lucario and mewtwo don't have that problem though
