NikoBaltimore Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 Wait, it's out now? Fuck, I thought it came out next weekend. Once I get the game I'm down with doing online matches with you guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliff Hanger Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 Added you as a 3DS friend, BL88. Would like to do Cliff too. My friend code is in the very first message of the online ID thread. Can't easily cut and paste on shitty smart phone to put it here (it keeps trying to dial the number) and I am not at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lamp, broken circa 1988 Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 DAY 2 IMPRESSIONS: -I really want Bowser Jr. to be good too, and he is not. I haven't really found a reliable Not Bowser to use yet, but I've been putting off playing Little Mac. -The Balloon Fight stage is a fucking nightmare. -Still having lag issues. More severe today. -Trophy Rush is the most fun any of the little side modes have been so far. -Still don't understand the "no items" crowd. At all. -"yasss bish yasss" gets through their dirty word detectors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Fresh Posted October 5, 2014 Author Share Posted October 5, 2014 I love Bowser Jr. And the Balloon Fight stage. So far, I've found the online to be unplayable. But I'm gonna mess with my wireless and see if I can improve it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 I eagerly await all the posts at the end of the week when people are in here bitching that Fresh is never online playing the game 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NikoBaltimore Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Got it yesterday, and so far Little Mac is my go-to guy. Bowser is pretty fucking boss too. And yes, I love this game so damn much. Also decided to hold off on online until it gets sorted out. I imagine there's initial problems to start with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Fresh Posted October 6, 2014 Author Share Posted October 6, 2014 Also decided to hold off on online until it gets sorted out. I wouldn't hold your breath on that happening. They're doing P2P instead of using dedicated servers. Everyone in the game has to have great WiFi or it's like watching a slideshow. The online portion is the only part they really dropped the ball on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lamp, broken circa 1988 Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 DAY 3 IMPRESSIONS kind of a hard core study day so I didn't play as much as I would've liked to -There is something to the idea of Smash Run. I don't think they stick the landing quite right because of how it controls, but there's definitely something there. -Have started using Sheik and Pac-Man more regularly. Pac-Man is so strange but he hits SO HARD. Right amount of chaos. Shiek is the first speed character I've felt like I've actually understood well enough to control. -I play so much Trophy Rush. Holy shit. It's embarrassing. -So far I'm still enjoying playing it! That's weird! I'm kind of an esoteric dude when it comes to what makes a video game good and there's enough happening in this that I'm still finding weird little nooks and crannies of strategies and approaches. Stunned to find it was worth the purchase for more than making a mii of a guy I hate and making him yell "eddie lacy tho" at a friend of mine thirty times.

Big Fresh Posted October 7, 2014 Author Share Posted October 7, 2014 I get the picture, man. You already said you don't like me. I like you when you are TLJ When you are Team Shiny it isn't as much fun What's "Team Shiny"?? I'm just not playing games online much these days. Been going through a bad depression spell and not feeling very social. Plus, I can't play the same game for years and years anyway. Mass Effect 3 was probably my record for how long I played it.

Lamp, broken circa 1988 Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 DAY 4 IMPRESSIONS: -Online is just generally fucked which is terrible because I talked a few people into playing it. Oh well! -now maining Pac-Man. Such an odd character but he's goddamn brutal if you use him right. Using the side-B to come down on yourself like a prepped uppercut hurts about as much as a smash and has an up and side smash range. Also dropping the hydrant on people! -I wonder if something happens if you go all one color in the Classic Run. Will need to try that later. -The "Play Classic Mode To Get Money, Spend Money On Trophy Rush" cycle is vicious and also kind of meditative?

Big Fresh Posted October 9, 2014 Author Share Posted October 9, 2014 In hopes of having better online play, I tried to connect my 3DS to my 5GHz WiFi connection. Turns out it doesn't support it. So, as a second effort, I tried to lighten to load on my 2.4 GHz connection by switching my iPhone 4s, X-Box One, Wii U, and PS4 to 5 GHz. Turns out, only the X-Box One supports it. Fucking blows. Get with the future, Sony and Nintendo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Fresh Posted October 9, 2014 Author Share Posted October 9, 2014 Oh, and Cliff Hanger, I added your friend code. If you could do mine, I'd appreciate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Well Fresh just mentioned he was playing on the 3DS but is everyone else on the Wii U? I am just curious - my son desperately wants the game so I figure it will be either a Christmas present (or I will break down and get it for him earlier than that).Since he only has the 3DS - that is the version he would be getting. I am just wonder if he will end up being horribly disappointed by that version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Fresh Posted October 9, 2014 Author Share Posted October 9, 2014 The Wii U version doesn't come out until November 21st. I'll be on that too. The 3DS version is the appetizer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Ah - okay. That makes a little more sense. And just confirming - you get all the characters in both games - it is just that each system has some maps unique to its system, correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Fresh Posted October 9, 2014 Author Share Posted October 9, 2014 Well, there's a rumor out there that having both versions will unlock a few characters, but that seems like BS. So yeah, the roster is the same. Stages are COMPLETELY different though. There's only 3 stages shared in both games (Battlefield, Final Destination, and Mega Man's stage). Every other one is unique to one system or the other. There's also an exclusive mode to 3DS called Smash Run, but I don't like it. The Wii U will surely have some other exclusive mode, but we don't know it yet. There's still a lot about the Wii U version we don't know, because Nintendo has been focusing on the 3DS version since it came out first. For example, there's another rumor, and this one actually has some merit, that the Wii U version may have 8 player fights... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Is Smash Run the mode I keep seeing people bitch about where everyone is using Little Mac or is that something else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Fresh Posted October 9, 2014 Author Share Posted October 9, 2014 No, that's just regular "For Glory" online matches. Smash Run can't be played online. Though I haven't been able to play anything online, but that's another story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliff Hanger Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Smash Run is a five minute dungeon crawl (think the last big labyrinth level in Subspace Emissary in Brawl) to grab upgrades from base stats, at the end of which you play a randomly determined vs match. (Fuck those race stages, fuck them in the ear with a hammer) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Fresh Posted October 9, 2014 Author Share Posted October 9, 2014 If you have a Wii U, it's definitely gonna be the superior version. Go with that. If you don't, the 3DS one is still a damn good time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salads Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Smash Run is a Smashy version of the City Trial mode in Kirby Air Ride (also by Sakurai). I haven't played either so that doesn't mean much to me, but may help explain it for someone out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
