Gaming NEW CHALLENGERS APPROACHING: Super Smash Bros. [Ultimate]

Yeah, that is one insane recovery.

I still remember the original roster, probably because I had the most time with the original Smash Bros (by the time the sequels came out, didn't have quite as much time for fighting games as I used to). Though I don't remember how many clones there were, or if everybody was somewhat unique (Mario and Luigi aside).

Like the roster, glad to see R.O.B. and Game & Watch are still there. Oh, can't wait until we finally get the 3DS versions too. Somewhat tempted by the Smash 3DS too, but probably won't get that.

 

I was fortunate enough to get the code from a nice fellow on Deviantart. I couldn't believe my luck; his offer had somehow gone unclaimed for half an hour before I showed up.

According to IGN, posting screenshots and stuff to Miiverse is still possible, just not while playing the game at the same time.

 

I wish I had one of the demo codes, but oh well, the public demo will be in a bit and the game itself will be out soon enough. Every Platinum member getting a demo code would have been a better reward than the random digital awards they had this year for Club Nintendo.

There's a rumor and supposed picture of some store saying 11/21 for the Wii U version. Nintendo has said they're aiming for this holiday and that would make it in time for Black Friday, but we'll see.

 

Mega Man is at a ridiculous disadvantage while fighting Link, thanks to his projectile-blocking shield. Half of his attacks are negated, and Link didn't even take damage from a gooey bomb that exploded on his face.

 

Which characters are you guys planning on using the most? Me, I'll be sticking to the tried-and-true 'Dorf for the majority of my play time, but Mega Man is definitely someone I'll be using frequently as well. Depending on how much I enjoy their playstyles, I'm also considering using Lucina, Zero Suit Samus, and Ike as well.

 

I am almost entirely sure that Robin and Lucina will become my new mains, though Pikachu and Toon Link will still be up there.

 

From the very beginning, Pikachu was my main so I'll be sticking with him. But I'm open to using any character really, and I can't wait to get my hands on the new characters, particularly Mega-Man, Pac-Man, Villager, and Duck Hunt.

 

Lucario, Mario, and Ness will be getting a lot of playtime by me from the veterans. I'll probably also try out the Villager, Lucina and Dark Pit, among others depending how they end up holding together.

 

I'll definitely train myself to use Megaman, I'll probably still use Mario, maybe Greninja, not sure who else I'll focus on.

 

Haha, I definitely spammed Mario's fireball B attack in the original a LOT. Quick, easy ranged damage.

Looking back, I wonder how I unlocked Captain Falcon (unlockable if you proceed through the game in 20 minutes)

 

B, just like in the last game.

 

That was always the bane of my existence playing Toon Link. "Okay, need to close in to get my Triforce Slash in. I'll just open with an arrow to cover my approach--sonuva!"

 

Just got the demo - gonna be playing as Mega Man a lot!

 

I have never played SSB enough to ever have a main character, which is why I primarily use Link, even though I am not really effective with him.

 

In the (many) years I've been playing Smash, I always found Link to suit me really well. Toon Link might be one of my favourites, too, but Mega Man is probably gonna be a big one for me once the full game is out.

I'm really looking forward to playing Little Mac. The sort of hit hard, hit fast characters really appeal to me.

 

Link is probably the easiest person to use to get back onto the the platform if you get knocked off.
