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.

These guys were super annoying and/or thought they were the hottest shit to walk the earth. So I had to own em. Buncha tryhards.

Fuck Bayonetta's aerial shit. Completely locks you up. Might as well put the controller down when she's got you in midair.


Fuck this punk. That's karma for that sack of shit. That comeback. Heart of a champion.


Lame playstyle. He asked for it when he tauned me on my accidental fall.


This guy thought he was the world's best player after he 2 stocked me with his spam shit. Talked some nice trash and totally thought I wasn't gonna touch him. He gave me an unnecessary taunt after he beat me hard so I was on a mission to kick his ass. Mission accomplished. As you can see, he really likes his random guess Smashes, hoping I'll wander into it, which, is lame in my book.

Have you played Bayonetta? I'm glad they carried that type of stuff over here, makes sense.

Also..if these guys who think they're the "hottest shit" are taken down by you, and you record and post 4 videos..doesn't that then suggest that you think that you're the "hottest shit??" Just trying to get my flow chart all worked out here.

@Mr_Mustache

Carlos is just a man with a mission: puttin' fools in their place.

@Secret_Tunnel
This guy gets it!

Check this shit out. This was 4 minutes of this guy running off the edge, hitting the ball at me, and sitting near the edge just blocking shots. Incredibly lame. He wasted so much time I could only show 30 seconds of it, so you can't even see JUST how annoying he was! And that first KO was BS. Totally dodged that. Most predictable hit ever! The last 10 seconds before they died was them hopping around, on and off the edge, being a lameduck. It cuts away from the lameness for 10 entire seconds.


Anyone I taunt, had earned their taunt. I promise you that. This guy was having a seizure the entire first round we played, and this was my revenge. Don't ever be an arrogant little shit.

Only being paired with complete douchebag players at this point. Everyone I play now just duck taunts and shit when they kill me. What a shitty, embarrassing little community. Are people actively playing just to be annoying?

Either my internet sucks lately, (I'm actually quite certain this is the cause) people are playing less, or I'm only (barely) being paired with high rank players who happen to be dbags. I'm getting a lot of dropped games, super laggy games, and ghost town waiting rooms. This whole expetience lately is turning me off pretty hard. I hope it's better this weekend.

It just..I dunno. I find it "funny" that you're "only being paired with complete douchebag players," so everyone else in that same group is like "I'm only being paired with douchebag players -- and that carlos guy who is actually ok!"

At a point, you gotta look at the company you keep...right?
03/12/16, 01:30   
I never provoke their poor sport behavior though, it's always them who instigate. If we had a good honest match that didn't resort to showboating or taunting then there wouldn't be a problem. But it seems this is beyond the people I'm playing.

New patch! Changes posted here as they are confirmed.


BUFFS
Bowser -- Slightly faster, heavier
Charizard -- Slightly faster, heavier, aerial attacks stronger and don't lag as much upon hitting the ground, Flare Blitz stronger
Duck Hunt -- Smash attacks all slightly stronger
Ganondorf -- Jab and Falcon Kick stronger, dash attack slightly quicker
Greninja -- Grab and dash attack quicker, aerials are less laggy when landing
Kirby -- Smash attacks and hammer are a bit stronger
Link -- Dash attack is stronger and launches opponents more sideways, down smash slightly stronger
Mewtwo -- Slightly heavier, dashes faster, up-smash quicker
Pac-Man -- Back-air and smash attacks all a bit stronger
Palutena -- Jab and aerials a bit stronger
Robin -- Jabs link more reliably, Nosferatu slightly quicker
Samus -- Forward Smash hits more reliably up close, forward tilt and neutral air stronger, dash attack and down smash and grab all faster
Zelda -- Jab stronger and better for starting combos, neutral and up aerials stronger, down smash faster, longer grab range, more invincibility in Nayru's Love


NERFS
Bayonetta -- Witch Time doesn't last quite as long, slightly less safe. Heel Slide no longer combos into aerial insanity.
Cloud -- Smashes and up-air weakened slightly, Finishing Touch weakened, Limit Charge takes about a second longer
Corrin -- Aerial attacks, Dragon Shot, and counter all weakened, slower speed on the ground
Metaknight -- May not be able to combo opponents to death with up-air into Shuttle Loop
Sheik -- Needles have less range, other changes vague but seems to be a bit less combo-ability in general
Zero Suit Samus -- Down throw, up air and neutral air all weaker, grab slightly tougher


Overall I like these changes, except I think they went too far with Corrin. His counter was kind of ridiculous, so it's nice that that got weakened, but otherwise I don't think he needed all those damage nerfs.

Those Zelda and Samus buffs though, woo!

SAMUS BUFFS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OH FUCK!!!!!!

I DIDN'T EVEN ASK FOR THIS BUT I'LL OH SO GLADLY TAKE IT!!!!!

Hahahahahaha I'm glad Corrin, Bayo, and Sheik saw some nice nerf action! Well deserved.

Oh Jesus did Link really need buffs? Guy is OP. And those moves in particular? They're already super effective, wtf!

Ooh I like the Pacman buffs.

Awesome. As long as I can get my wifi to stop being so obnoxious I should enjoy these changes!

Sounds like a surprising amount of changes.

@nate38
Trust me, Corrin needed all those nerfs. His neutral air was ridiculous. Even nerfing its power won't stop it from being OP.

Cool to hear about Pac. Hope he can KO worth a darn now.
03/16/16, 20:14   
I'm a bit surprised they nerfed the DLC characters, I figured they were extremely powerful on purpose to give people what they pay for.
03/16/16, 22:30   
Good stuff, the game balance is really shaping up. I think Rosalina & Luma needs a few nerfs though she can be such a tank.
03/17/16, 02:17   
The new characters needed nerfing something fierce, so I'm thrilled. Doubt Cloud was nerfed enough, though, but I'm glad they nerfed Bayonetta's ridiculous combo ability. Not sure why Link got a buff either, or Ganondorf and MewTwo for that matter. The others made sense, especially Kirby. I wish they'd buff Ness a bit. His yo-yo moves have seemed off ever since one of the first few updates. Same with Jigglypuff. He/She was perfect until one of the updates.

What grinds my gears with these updates is how with each one our replays are rendered useless. It's like, why even let us save them?
03/17/16, 02:36   
@NoName
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I FORGOT ABOUT THAT!!! I LOST SOME GOOD REPLAYS THEN! SHIT!

I didn't think I'd have to worry about that any time soon!

Yeah I agree. Not sure why some of these buffs even happened.. But I'll keep my mouth shut because my girl Samus has just seen a serious buff I didn't even think she needed...

Shhhhh no one tell Sakurai...
03/17/16, 02:53   
Hmm, sounds like that Samus forward smash buff wasn't actually real maybe? She still got the most buffs, though. Zelda did good too, I think I just won like 30 in a row For Glory with her lol.
03/17/16, 03:12   
@nate38
I have never once (ok, maybe like twice ever) thought Samus' forward Smash had any issue. It always seemed totally acceptable to me.

Man she's gonna feel weird to me no matter what now. It could probably even throw me off for a while.

Gonna have to try and fix the wifi (there's 3 goddamn networks with the same name, just different Gs) so I can enjoy For Glory again, along with these updates. Sick of waiting in ghost rooms only to have someone who's annoying to play against show up.
03/17/16, 04:52   
Edited: 03/17/16, 04:55
Yeah guys? Charizard now has the same air speed as Falco.
03/17/16, 05:06   
FUCK IS WRONG WITH THE WIFI? CAN I PLAY MY GAME PLEASE??????
03/17/16, 08:19   
Pssh can they please patch out fucking Bore-o-netta? What a garbage rinse and repeat cheap as fuck character. Can't ever beat For Glory assholes who do the same coward shit with her. Cheap fucking slide, put controller down while they juggle you in mid air a few times, and fight your way back to land just for them to do it again. Fuck right off.

Rinse and repeat tactics EVERY Bayonetta player uses. Fucking pathetic. Fuck Bayonetta.
