It's just not fun.

I like it in certain instances. Online is alright, with friends for a few rounds is fun.

The problem is....see above. Too many of the challenges require incredible precision/perfection when it comes to what they want you to achieve, and it sucks losing to the sudden boss, the randomly spawned bomb that you pop in a flurry, etc. I'm not a fan of that kind of "difficulty." If you want me to get 4 KO's in Cruel smash, give me a bigger stage and no items and I might have a chance.

It just isn't balanced. But that's always been SSB. The weakest part is the single player and no matter what, they can't find a good balance to it. I've always hated Master Hand since none of the skills you learn are viable. I usually hate fighting game last bosses outside of M.Bison, when the same thing happens....

"Oh look, you've learned how to fight....throw it out the window for this super mega boss that doesn't jive with anything you've just done."




With that said, the game is awesome. The roster is fantastic, the online is perfect, and playing with friends is a blast. I just wish they'd find a better way for unlocks, challenges and single player.

Most of the new stages are horrible. Wiley's Castle, Pyrosphere, Gaur Plain, Gamer, etc, feature incredibly invasive bosses that, quite honestly, ruin the gameplay. Even the Super Mario Bros U stage, which seemed relatively innocuous and enjoyable just 6 months ago, now features Nabbit, which will appear and randomly bag the nearest player, often times resulting in death.

That sounds dumb.

The extent to which a stage should impact the game should be no more than situations like the random Arwing on Sector Z, tornados on Hyrule Castle, etc.

They should be easily dodged but painful if you forget.

Seriously, they need to do an update to toggle off bosses. It wouldn't be a bad stage if it didn't have that yellow man. Refuse to play on that stage if I ever see it highlighted in Classic Mode.

Kirby's hammer that can be held and switch sides...yasssss

Some of these challenges are bullshite

4 kills in Cruel Smash with Pit yeah frick that shite, my record is 2 only because I somehow lured 2 of the Miis off the edge and they died a split second before my character did

20 Crazy Order Tickets Cleared with Mario? frick it took me 5 tries just to clear 10 to get ROB.

The Great Cave Offensive is a nightmare and can't see why anyone would play on it.

Agree that this stage is absolutely terrible. I tried playing it on 8 player and its a zoomed out mess where you can barely see anything

Ok, got my Wii U in today.

Played some matches against the CPU to get a quick feel for the game, then jumped into multiplayer.

I quit after one game.

Is the lag that bad for everyone? I experienced no noticeable lag during Mario Kart, but the delay on SSB was at least 1-2 seconds. That and the game would freeze for a sec every now and then.

My connection is fine and all of my other wireless devices have no issues. Is this a recurring problem for this game?

ETA: Little Mac is fun

So, about online play, we need to establish some rules. I'm in a hotel right now that doesn't allow me to do it, which blows, but until I go to another one where I can connect, is everyone here cool with 4 man stock matches? What about items? I'm down for some or none. What does everyone think?

No Ogre Blade. That thing is ridiculous.

I'm ok with none. Keeps it level.
