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.

Baby Bowser is a cheap annoying fuck. Why the fuck does everything he does cover the screen? He has like 10 opportunities to hit you with everything. It's ridiculously forgiving for him, and unforgiving for you. No fucking clue how to even get a word in when. It's like, as long as he does his fucking attacks he's GONNA hit you. All his moves beat mine.

Speculation on the new character!



MOVES

He floats when he dashes, apparently he's Palutena now

Jab combo: Kick + Kick + Slash
Dash attack: Sword-shove, relatively short range

F-tilt: Shulk's
D-tilt: Mega Man's (slide)
Up-Tilt: Like Roy's (back to forward) but range closer to Shulk's

Nair: Ike's but more range, aka Shulk's but in reverse motion
Fair: Shulk's but it spikes
Bair: Ike's but with more range
Dair: Roy's
Upair: Ike's uptilt but with more range (and in midair)

F-smash: Three-hit slash, slows down considerably when it lands
Up-smash: Sword-uppercut, knocks opponent up
D-smash: Every swordy's D-smash, first hit brings opponent behind for second a la Toon Link

Back-throw: Kick

Limit Break mechanic: My first guess was basically Mac's KO gauge, but there's a little menu window that builds up directly above him in the trailer, might not just be for show. He also seems to freeze in a pose while it's building up, possibly command-activated? Glows blue upon completion. Modifies his next activated special attack, afterwards he goes back to normal.

Neutral-B: Blade Beam -- shoots a sword shockwave
Limit Break: Shockwave does big damage combo upon hit

Side-B: Cross-Slash -- 5-hit combo
Limit Break: Same but with massive damage

Down-B: Finishing Touch -- Strikes forward then backward with a little whirlwind visual effect
Limit Break: Trailer ONLY shows Limit Break form, so dunno what the normal one actually is, probably same just less powerful

Up-B: Climhazzard -- Quick stab plus slash up, optional second input to slash back down (Braver)
Limit Break: Much higher jump, a la Shulk's Up-B with Jump monado form


Final Smash: Omnislash

Taunt 1: Victory pose
Taunt 2: Lean on sword
Taunt 3: Cast materia pose


Also notable, in all the footage for Midgar stage, he is glowing red, maybe has something to do with summons? They really seem like they're just stage hazards though... Actually, in the stage intro it shows a red materia drifting into the stage, I'm assuming whoever gets it is the "summoner" and is not harmed by the ensuing stage hazard, probably why he's is glowing red in those.

Been a while. I'm surprised this thread is so buried! Well tomorrow it will be back!!

Some replays from a month or so ago. Started getting into a better groove now. I now have like, 235 hours with Samus alone in this game. Pretty insane. My next closest character is Megaman, at 29 hours!!!!!

-----

You can't really tell in this replay but trust me when I say this guy was camping and spamming hard. You can catch glimpses of it but he was totally evading me like nuts and just trying not to fight. He tried to hang onto the ledge in Sudden Death too, surely to wait for the bombs to drop (which is something I hardly ever see and have no idea how to deal with, though I'm sure everyone else knows the little trick to play it safe).






Ugh I hate getting caught in that stupid uppercut crap Mario does. Some Diddy level shit. Tough start, pretty awesome run at the end there. I love the final shot and having patience with it.






A good use of Missiles and Bombs!





The video name is self explanatory! Serious, SERIOUS taunt fail!!





This one's not too bad, though I get hit more than I'd have liked to :(



Maybe I'll upload some of my newer ones. Some really good stuff in there IIRC. Just earlier today I fought this asshole Lil Mac who was just painting by numbers and standing in all the spots he needed to be to pull of his Smash spam shit. His wall of punches and flinch technique can also be really obnoxious.

@nate38 Hey I was like 100% right! Which honestly is a little disappointing. I was hoping Cloud would have some surprises in store. Oh well.
12/16/15, 06:38   
I like Cloud's quick nair and utilt, I've already discovered some cool combos out of down throw and up throw. It's also fun to use the limit break in various ways. I discovered is fair spike randomly and it was a cool moment. LOVE his dtilt slide as well, chars like DDD Mega Man and Cloud really benefit from quick slide dtilts mixing things up.
12/16/15, 19:15   
Ok WOW

Cloud is fucking AMAZING and the Boss Battle music gives me the fucking feels every time.

Cloud is already a main of mine! After my like second round with him I knew he was fucking amazing.

I need to change my vote to Cloud in that poll just because how awesome he is to play as. Holy shit.

I swear he's already overtaken my other mains.

My girl Samus has a rival. Cloud is just right for me.
12/17/15, 07:28   
What in the fuck is with this lag tonight though? Complete dog shit. Like, it's unplayable. Losing cuz of this shit too.
12/17/15, 07:36   
It seems Cloud is everyone's main now. Nine times out of ten I'm fighting a Cloud.
To be fair, he is pretty awesome.

No lag for me tonight.
12/17/15, 07:43   
Yeah it seems he's pretty easy to "get". He's very very good. Top Tier? Might he get nerfed?

Man I'm excited to play as Corrin and (EVEN) Bayonetta now. Actually really cool how the final 3 characters are brand new. Clearly tons of work is put into them.

Geez I didn't even think I was really gonna like playing as him but he's fantastic. I can't believe he shot right up into my mains list like this. Insane. He reminds me of a mix of Shulk, Megaman, and Samus. Fuckin loooooove it.

Yeah something is monstrously wrong with the net. Even with dogshit lag I enjoyed playing immensely. Like, it was spoiling the entire time I was playing with my bro for like 45 mins trying him out for the first time and it continued to lag into For Glory and even caused me several losses and still I loved it. Massive run on sentence. I don't care. But yeah much of the night was a slide show. I saved some good rounds though. Gonna upload a few. This entire post was written waiting for someone to join, and it wouldn't cuz net is royally fucked.



I cant (lol that wasn't meant to be there but I'm leaving it cuz it works)

Could Nintendo make their shop anymore confusing? No idea if Cloud is downloading or not.
12/19/15, 02:33   
Been a while! I've learned so much sensei!

A very nice round!


A very, very deadly round.


Pretty good. lol at my pitfall.


Don't even know why I saved this one.


Cloud VS Cloud action!


Oh this guy got murdered. The stage totally screwed him the first life though, ouch.


My second round ever with Cloud in For Glory. First round was against this guy and he destroyed me. Was still learning the character. I think I can see the improvement in the following rounds.


I was doing better til I bombed near the end


Crappy too


And this guy quit for some reason. Lag?


Ugh I hate Lil Mac.


I'm a punching bag through much of this match, but a punching bag that can't be killed!!!


God I hate Lil Mac.


Title says it all.


If only I had dodged better!


Tense stuff.


My very first time trying out Cloud!! I played teams online with my bro against the CPU. It was awesome learning his moves!


Second round with Cloud and my bro. Teamplay is so awesome. That block at 33 secs is sexy. Oh and I officially have the world's worst luck when it comes to Smash Balls. Somehow I always miss them.


An ok round.


I love the end lol.


More For Glory. Alright round.


Final one for now. This guy angrily switched to Samus to try and show me up I'm sure.

*Pops game into Wii U*

*Tries Match of For Glory*



*immediately goes back to playing xenoblade.*

Holy SHIT Corrin and Bayonetta's stage AMAZING.

Bayo's not bad herself but boy if she busy. Playing with my brother online against the CPU proves difficult as she gets lost very easily.

I don't fully get how she works but I'm down to learn. Corrin clicks with me pretty easily and I can see him/her as a main of mine. Corrin is surprisingly demonic. Like, shit. Bayonetta is a witch too, what's with the occult shit today Nintendo? Cut a deal with the devil to get this game so good ;) ?

Bayo's stage is seriously awesome. Is it already my fave? The detail is stunning and I love the variety of platforming.

I love how versatile Corrin is, and the animation is superb. Love the design too. Everything about Corrin is fucking awesome.
02/04/16, 08:33   
My second round with Corrin! My brother was Bayonetta.Corrin is just awesome.



I think this was my third or fourth round with Corrin. Such a good round/finish.


And you know I have to throw in some For Glory vids :P

God what an annoying fuck this guy was. Do people have to play like this?


I don't usually For Glory Megaman too much anymore but here's a pretty good round with him.


Same for Pacman.


Samus' down special is one of the most annoying moves in the fucking game. Hits me way more than it should. There's something about its range that doesn't look like it's gonna hit you, but it does. Why are there so many moves like that in the game? Either way I weathered the storm and handed this guy's ass to him.


Ugh I hate quitters. So lame. I never quit, not even when someone is totally destroying me. I always do my best and try to beat them. Quitting is for sissies.


Tore this guy to pieces.


Nice challenge.


That got lame near the end with the spam.


Dat Screw Attack finish.

@carlosrox You should come play next time we do NW Smash Night. The more the merrier!
02/05/16, 19:39   
I always mean to but oddly enough I have some weird anxiety (way too strong of a word) when it comes to playing with NW peeps lol. I've done it a few times here and there, but not as often as you guys do! What's wrong with me??
02/05/16, 21:33   
@carlosrox

You gotta get it locked down, son.
02/05/16, 21:39   
@GameDadGrant
Indeed I do! For Glory really has a hold on me though.

Oh and there's a hot topic I've been meaning to discuss: The "rankings"!

I find it absolutely adorable when people say Samus sucks, Sakurai ignores her, she needs buffs hard, she's garbage tier, etc. Barring savants, I can handle people their ass pretty well with my "garbage tier" Samus. People have handed ME my ass with characters I obliterate 99% of the time. I can sink or swim against Ganondorf for example. I couldn't believe my eyes the other night when there was one guy I just couldn't beat. He owned me hard with Ganondorf. GANONDORF. Guy is dead easy 99% of the time when I use Samus. It all depends on the skill of the player. So I'm really sick of that stupid meme that Samus blows. Maybe people just need to learn how to use her? Novel idea.
02/05/16, 21:55   
@carlosrox NW peeps don't really play each other that often, as far as I know. At least not since last spring, anyway, when I'd occasionally get a bite in the "Now Playing Smash" thread. The whole reason I did the NW Smash Night thing is so we could start playing again, since it'd been a long time.

At our level any character is viable. Zelda is the consensus worst character in the game, and I do okay with her For Glory. It's only at the pro level that tiers even matter, and still only offline since the latency kinda evens things out in a lot of ways.
02/05/16, 22:03   
Edited: 02/05/16, 22:04
@carlosrox I feel like the tiers only apply to the highest level players anyway. If you don't know all of the advanced techniques and can't consistently pull them off and such tiers are sort of meaningless.
