Smash WiiU is also up for pre-sale and pre-load. Started the download last night. Was a bit over 11gb iirc.

I had that for the first few tracks and got a little more used to it. Then I went back to my old car + Link and it felt normal.
ExciteBike map is god tier. I love it. But for some reason my Shy Guy who I generally play as was getting raped ont he maps. I was getting throw around left and right. It seems like all the new DLC maps favor aggressive play instead of "Get ahead and coast" style.

I've never had any kind of success with small characters. They get bounced around like ping pong balls. Its Medium or Large characters.

Can't fucking wait for Smash Wii U. My roommates and I STILL play the Wii Version regularly. Hope they made Donkey Kong and Jiggly a little better, though - they're my favorites.

yeah, if a big characters touches a small, its spin out city. Then about .5 seconds later about 2-4 more players spin you out and its over. lol

i been thinking about getting it, but i've never played a smash game. i try to watch it sometimes and i have no fucking idea how the game works lol
It is basically a fast paced arcade fighter. Instead of having a traditional HP bar you gain a %. Getting hit gains you %. The higher the % the more likely you are to get punted off screen and die. The only way to die is by falling off screen or getting punted off screen. There are also items which aren't used in most competitive matches but add a certain fun factor to playing with friends. They are a good way to normalize skill levels. Instead of most traditional fighters it isn't about memorizing a massive moveset instead Smash is more about knowing the few moves your character has (and, I believe, all characters have the same button and stick movements to execute the moves) and how to combo them together.
Finally bought Bayonetta 2, game is dope. Wii U took forever to get here but it's such a good system now.

Yep. All characters have the exact same "attacks". You have the A button which is your simple punch/kick. Then you have the B button which are more character-specific special abilities. Each can be changed with the direction you move the stick while you simultaneously hit the button. So "A + ->" is your typical smash attack. When someone is at a high percentage you nail them with that, they're typically gone. However, each character has smash attacks that are much better in different directions. For some it's down and A, others up and A. Some characters also have amazing special abilities that are great for smashing - like Captain Falcon's Falcon Punch.

About Smash, I was watching a just for fun tournament on Twitch and signed up to play the guy whose channel it was. When it got to my turn we were fighting and in the background the guy was rolling his eyes irritated yelling at me because he said if I wasn't going to take the match seriously I should quit because there were actual people who really wanted to play. My vagina was so sandy because I actually was trying really hard. Fuckin smash.
Smash Rule #1: Use a GameCube controller. It's the only way.

Gamecube controllers are great for people with small hands. I can't do jack shit on that thing though.
My hands are pretty damn big and I love it, always have. Handhelds make me cramp the fuck up, but the Cube controller is a dream for Nintendo-made games.
