Super Smash Bros. for Wii U on the Wii U
9.19/10 from 34 user ratings

Welcome to the official discussion thread for Super Smash Bros. for Wii U on the Wii U!

To start, please add this game to your log, add it to your collection (if applicable), and (when you are ready) rate it using the link above!

Every new generation a great dawn emerges where a new game in the acclaimed Super Smash Bros. series graces Nintendo's newest consoles… for the Wii U, that time is almost upon us. Nintendo is truly pulling out all the stops with this one. Here's the breakdown on what we can expect… (Learn more at the Super Smash Bros. website.)

1.) 45+ playable characters (new characters, returning fighters, or accessible via alt costumes)
2.) Releasing November 21st, November 28th, or December 5th depending on your region
3.) Tons of content; from trophies to levels to music tracks to items to pokemon to modes… it seemingly never ends!
4.) Customizable Move-sets
5.) Many control setups; Wii U Gamepad, standard Wii U options, Gamecube controllers, even your 3DS!
6.) Online capable (and encouraged)
7.) Check out Nintendo's 50 Things You Should Know about Smash Bros!
8.) Stages exclusive to the Wii U version. Some epic stages!
9.) Amiibo Support for all existing Amiibos
10.) Gameplay lands somewhere between Melee and Brawl


As you can see, there really is something for everyone, perhaps more than ever before. As I wrote this whole post up, I was listening to the Super Smash Bros. Brawl soundtrack and remembering the hours and days and weeks and months of fun I've had with that game. This will be no different and really will shake the Wii U community up in the best ways. Nintendo is on the eve of quite possible the most acclaimed game the console will have. This is a very exciting moment for Nintendo gamers. Speaking back on the music, you can listen to a bunch of neat samples from the upcoming game at the SmashBros.com Music Page. Be sure to check out Kapp'n's Song! It's a personal favorite of mine. The 3DS version is to have two-songs per stage but the Wii U version is meant to have that and more, even some songs from past games as well.

Please enjoy a few of my favorite images found on the official Super Smash Bros. website.



The release date in North America is November 21st and it was just moved up to November 28th in Europe. For all other regions you can expect December 5th. In the mean time, there's always the 3DS version which looks incredible in it's own right! You can discuss it in Jargon's thread here; Super Smash Bros. 3DS. We should aim to keep this thread focused on the Wii U version so that the 3DS discussion ends up in it's right place. Keep in mind that the Daily Updates are still being provided by Sakurai (for a few more weeks at least) and the best place to find and discuss those is Stephen's Super Smash Bros. News Discussion (Roster Spoilers) Now With Daily Images thread. I do my best to update that daily with the Sakurai posts.

Who is your main? What are you most excited for? Finally, be sure to have your friends added on your Wii U! I'll do my best to keep this thread updated with the various users who are playing this online.

Why not sign up for a (free) account?
   
 
MY FEELING WAS WRONG!
Big W had Smash out for $58 which was much cheaper than what Gametraders had it for which was $79. So I have Smash. No Amiibo yet as the only ones I could find were Peach and 2 Pikachu ones. I wants da Kirbs.

@Pokefreak911

But do you have the adapter?

It was fun playing with some of you the past few days! Mop It Up, Ploot, Kenny, uhhm...are Henrick and Peter on here too? Whoever Peter is, his Shulk was a pain in the butt. "Buster!" "Back Slash!"

Hendrik is Jargon.
Peter is probably Octorockin, unless anyone can correct me on that.

Some of these people in For Glory feel like they're moving SO fast. Have people already figured out lag canceling techniques or something? It's like they get a hold of me in ways I didn't know they could. I just got rocked by some guy named Shiggity and i could barely touch him at all. Got crushed by Palutena and several others.

@PogueSquadron

That's Shigeru Miyamoto, clearly. You should be honoured to be crushed by him .

Yeah, I was pretty sour when a Mario air-dodged my up-smash and had enough time to land and hit me in the back with a forward-smash for the winning KO while I was still in the recovering-from-upsmash animation. Ugh, made me irritated because I had no idea how he did it that fast. How are people reducing landing lag so much??

The gray Kirby with the hammer! It all makes sense now!

EDIT: Typing the word "sour" reminded me of how much I see the word "salty" nowadays on the internet in a similar context. That strikes me as weird--I get that it's supposed to be like, the saltiness of someone's tears or something, but it always just makes someone sound like a pirate. "You're being salty." "Aye, that I am, matey!"

I did just read that people can cancel landing lag by canceling an air dodge close to the ground, eliminating landing lag from an air dodge. I get that people want to win but I get a little salty myself when people try to find any little exploit they can find to get an edge on an opponent. I'd rather Nintendo nip this kind of stuff in the bud and try to balance things differently.

@TriforceBun

Those were great games! And yea, Peter is OctoRockin

Good matches tonight - it was fun seeing different user created stages... Big Lag for about 30seconds there but then it cleared up nicely.

12/07/14, 05:23   
Fun games tonight! That Mushroom Gorge custom stage was a pretty clever idea, and it was crazy seeing what kind of stuff Rosalina's Gravitational Pull could yank in. All of a sudden, Dark Samus's shots were working for me...

I might need to tweak my Hyrule Castle 64 level though, the ceiling's a bit high.
12/07/14, 07:45   
That was fun! Whose custom stages were those?

Thanks for kicking my tail repeatedly, Abdoooooo, Bun, and Ploot!
12/07/14, 07:46   
Lots of fun indeed!

@TriforceBun
Rosalina laughs in the face of Dark Samus.

The Hyrule Castle stage is great. It works nearly as well as the real thing, Bun! I hope we can share stages at some point.

@ludist210
The Mushroom Gorge stage was mine. I was inspired by shuffling through the music and landing on the Mushroom Gorge track. It was fun to try it out with you guys!

@ploot

I wanna see this Mushroom Gorge stage! I need to get on here for online smashing soon. I've barely done that.

Can anyone take photos or share screens of their really awesome custom stages so I could attempt a recreation perhaps?

@DrFinkelstein
It shouldn't be too tough for Nintendo to patch in a "share custom stages" feature.
Brawl sort of had this, so why not For Wii U?
Wow, what an awkward name.
12/07/14, 15:29   
@TriforceBun@ludist210@ploot

Those were fun matches. I'm amazed and a bit flustered at how good you guys are. Teach me the ways!
12/07/14, 16:13   
@ploot

I hope they do. In the mean time, screenshot these things brotha-man!
12/07/14, 21:20   
@ploot

Yea I'm hoping that's coming. Maybe they're just waiting for people to have time to make them.
12/07/14, 23:10   
@TriforceBun I'm just glad that I could win one with Luigi, who is about the only character where I know some semblance of what I'm doing! Also, who was the "RRAN" person that seemed to be playing on your system?

@ploot Call it "SmUsh," it's easier.
