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?
   
 
Got the perfect Target Blast challenge (looked up solutions online because Target Blast is dumb) and tried for the Metroid in Smash Tour but the damn thing stayed just out of my reach for 3 turns and then disappeared. That's going to be annoying.

@Jargon Agreed. I tend to dislike loot-driven games, and Smash U locks its loot drops to the least fun parts of the game. You can get coins playing Smash or online (and only With Friends) but that's all, and the only thing you can get with coins are trophies (only a handful in the shop at a time or in Trophy Rush) and attempts at Classic and Master Orders. Why not just let us buy customs and equipment with coins in the shop? All my time playing online has left me with 500,000+ coins and nothing to spend them on but the last handful of Classic runs I have left.

If I can Golden Hammer those "Collect every ______" challenges, I'll just do that. That's what I did on the 3DS version. On the other hand, I'd love to actually have all the Custom Specials and CDs available.


Man, I love the crap out of this game, but there's so many little things about it that make me wonder what Sakurai was thinking.

I did the Trophy Rush one in about a week and a half. Just gotta STICK AT IT and keep doing your max payments to have it last longer. Get those streaks up. 7.0 was one that I randomly used a Mallet on long ago. I was happy when I realized what I saved myself from. (And I don't advocate hammering out RANDOM holes that you can't even see!)

I've got something like 12 or 8 spots left. Smash Tour ones are tough.

@Mr_Mustache Yeah I'm working through the Classic and All-Star runs now. I'd hammer them but I want the character trophies, so I might as well just do them. Between each run through Classic or All-Star, I do a 2m30s Trophy Rush. I also spent a good amount of time trying to get that Get 8 Fevers in Trophy Rush with Dr. Mario achievement, so hopefully I have a decent head start towards 50k total boxes.

I've saved replays of some absolutely ridiculous comebacks in 1v1 online. This guy was just screwing my Samus with Mario so hard (....) and I couldn't get hits on him until deep into my second stock. I ended up screwing him over (literally, screw attack!) pretty damn nicely. So much sweeter when he was busy taunting me and talking shit too.

I believe I sent that replay (and a few others) to like everyone from NW on my friend's list lol.
05/29/15, 04:41   
@carlosrox I didn't get that one, but I did get a pretty lol-worthy one of you in a projectile standoff against a Toon Link. Good stuff.

@nate38
UGH, yeah that one! So lame.

Yeah I don't get how the replay thing works at all, really. Does the game need to be on for the vid to be fully sent? I sent a bunch to my brother and likewise him to me and I got them a few hours later. It showed up in MY replay feed. There's also ones I can download myself from the list they've apparently shared. Only one of his showed him and he said he sent more than that. I dunno. I don't get how it works.

Started playing this a bit more lately for the first time in ages. Thinking of starting to practice some more again. I really like Diddy Kong (yeah yeah) and Pac-Man, probably going to learn them and get better with them. I also want to improve with Yoshi some more as he is still my best character and I want to play more Little Mac as I still love him even with his awful recovery.

@nate38

The thing is; 7.0 is pretty tough for me. If you can "breeze" through it, its cool for you. It was a hassle for me to complete a few 6.5's (thats a thing, right?).

And I guess I have 7 challenges left:

9.0 w/o losing a life
9.0 w/o customization
All-Stars on Hard
300000 Gold
All moves
All headgear
20 Crazy Order turns (for me: w/ Mario w/ a bat)
05/31/15, 14:21   
Finished 7.0+ with every character. Just have to do every All-Star on Hard and then farm CDs, Mii headgear, custom specials, and trophies. Hopefully my old third party Gamecube controller with the Turbo function still works, so I can set up the Ganon-farm.

@nate38

Nice, my friend bought one of those Gamestop ones to play with and left it at my house so I just set that up. We'll see how much progress I made when I get home from work.

Edit: Wow according to another guy's video, starting from close to scratch it took 260 hours of doing this method to get everything. I'd imagine it won't take me that long, but that is rather ridiculous.

Does the GameStop-exclusive Splatoon Gear DLC work yet? I'm getting errors...I'd assume "no," but yeah.

Poop, at some point during the day my tape came undone. I did get two hats and finish up Link's custom moves, but I don't know how long it was actually functioning. Placing the tape is much trickier than you'd think due to the Gamecube's unique button arrangement. I reaffixed but something tells me it won't last too long.

This makes me pine for the days of Brawl when I enlisted children I was babysitting to work in the Sticker Factory by beating up sandbags.

-- Pre-farm totals --
Custom specials: 236
Headgear: 45


-- 9 hours later --
Custom specials: 259
Headgear: 45

Also got like 150 pieces of equipment, but I don't care about those at all. Just trying to get the stuff in Challenges.


So, not exactly a roaring pace. And it'll only get slower as more are unlocked. But at least it's working.

@nate38

My tape managed to last through the night. Finished three more characters' customs. But no more headgear :(

I wonder how much electricity this uses. Energy costs are not cheap on Guam.
06/02/15, 01:00   
Speaking of farming, here's a CD farming stage for turbo controllers. Apparently the guy got all the CDs in about a day with it, so I'll probably set that up tonight.
06/03/15, 21:39   
Finished All-Star on Hard with every character. In the process, I collected the last of the Mii headgear. That also unlocked the last trophy, so now I have all of those.

139/140 challenges complete. The only one left? Collect all custom moves. So the Ganon Farm has been set up once again...

Holy cow, nicely done. What's your time say for Smash?
06/10/15, 05:26   
Oh boy let's see...


374:01 -- Power Time
228:11 -- Play Time

2:05 -- Smash Tour Play Time
7:35 -- Smash Play Time
85:59 -- Solo Play Time (much of this is probably the Ganon-farm running overnight and while I was at work for a couple days)
32:33 -- Online Play Time With Anyone
98:13 -- Online Play Time With Friends


60 -- Classic Times Cleared
61 -- All-Star Times Cleared

999999999 -- Target Blast Total Score (lol Ganon-farm)
06/10/15, 05:46   
Congrats you Smash maniac! Well done!
