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.

Oh and if it makes you feel any better, this is something they used to be able to do before it was taken out in 4.

@pokepal148

I don't get it. I said I beat you with characters who AREN'T Kirby.
07/24/15, 10:08   
Anybody want to play tonight? I think I should be around....
07/25/15, 01:04   
Well that was super weird. I was in the tips section and it was giving me nothing but move tips for quite a while.

I've never seen that before.

I also finally tried All Star Mode. That Gamer stage is a real bitch. Fox and Falco are dicks.

Big update coming Friday, July 31st!

-Tourney mode!
-Two classic N64 stages: Peach's Castle and Hyrule Castle (woo)!
-More Mii fighter costumes!

And...sorry, K. Rool fans, looks like your big lizard's DLC chances went down a bit:

@TriforceBun

The tournament feature could come in real handy around here. I dig.
07/29/15, 16:16   
@TriforceBun
It is cool to see K. Rool referenced regardless.

Come on, Wart! You still have a chance.

I wonder if this update will also include the option to share replays via YouTube. Either way, I'm hyped for tournament mode.
07/29/15, 23:49   
Here's hoping Tourney mode will provide for some good coin collecting.
07/30/15, 15:25   
Youtube replays are a go!
07/30/15, 21:10   
Is it official that we're getting the update at the same time as Japan or what?
07/30/15, 22:36   
@anon_mastermind
Fuck yeah.

Are all the replays freom the version just before this non compatible? I recorded some on my phone last night just in case.
07/31/15, 03:33   
Downloading software update now.

EDIT: @carlosrox Yep, previous replays are now borked.

@nate38

Hmm nothing going on on my system. What do you have to do?

Edit: Never mind, I guess you can't quick-launch if you want to apply the update.

Edit: Wait, tourneys are online only?
07/31/15, 06:55   
Edited: 07/31/15, 07:08
Replays longer than 3 minutes cannot be uploaded to Youtube/Miiverse. That's dumb.
07/31/15, 07:15   
Edited: 07/31/15, 07:15
Picked up Hyrule Castle. Good stuff!

How do tourneys work?

@nate38
Aw, man. That lame time limit is back from Brawl.
07/31/15, 07:18   
I just joined a tourney. It says I have 10 battles to do today and I get points for each battle. I won the first won and came in third in the second one and now have 13 points. I'll do the rest of my battles later I guess. The good news is, my tournament is stock battles and with items! Finally!

The real cool thing seems to be Regular tournaments. I haven't tried it, but it appears to be like with online poker where there are tournaments with different rules starting every five minutes or so and you can just join and play. That will be a lot more fun than playing just For Glory to me. I do worry about lag though.

Man, this upload is taking a while.


EDIT: Apparently we got more balance tweaks, too. A few of note...

FOX
Jab 2 now launches opponent farther, getting rid of the infinite jab.

GANONDORF
Aerial Wizard's Foot now breaks shields

CAPTAIN FALCON
Colors have been edited: Reds are now darker

WII FIT TRAINER
Sun Salutation heal 1% > 2%

SHULK
Back Slash is faster (NEED CONFIRMATION BUT A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE SAYING THIS)

MEGAMAN
Faster Leaf Shield startup and spin
