Zerard Wrote:I guess the design of the controls is really more if an issue for the more serious players. Inputs are often misread with the circle pad; I noticed this even the demo version. In a critical moment, that can be fatal in making or breaking the experience. I'm sure there a players that are more on the other side of this and brush it off, and that's because matches aren't as big of a deal to them. Otherwise, smash is fun today because it's been fun all along.

Though of course that last statement is more admittedly my own personal opinion than an objective conclusion.

my only issue so far besides tilts is doind shorthop attacks, and i can't time falling attacks to strike before hitting the ground.

Locked Wrote:Some examples of 'bad controls':

1. No C-stick makes Lucina and Marth a pain in the ass to use. Aerials tend to stride you towards the direction you're inputting and it sucks.
2. Sometimes you randomly face the other direction which can really mess with your momentum.
3. Depending on how you angle your special attacks, you could do a side special instead of an up special causing you to lose a stock.
4. The inability to fully customise the buttons is a pain. You can only 'swap' them rather than fully replace.
5. You're more likely to do tilts than smash attacks (or vice versa).

Sakurai Wrote:Pic of the day. Here's the settings menu for Rules. Comical pictures appear on the left when you go through the options, so I'll briefly introduce them.

Sakurai Wrote:Going clockwise from the top-left corner, here are the pictures that appear for Rules, Time Limit, Custom Fighters, Stage Choice, Damage Ratio, and Handicap.

Sakurai Wrote:In the Wii U version, you can customize additional rules from the beginning of the game. Here are the pictures displayed for Stock Time Limit, Team Attack, Pause Function, SD Penalty, Damage Display, and Score Display. You can almost hear Fox's cry in the picture displayed for SD Penalty settings.

Razmos Wrote:I remember reading this before on the Smashboards (the one and only time I went there), but I completely forgot about it (and I thought it would be big enough news that someone would have mentioned it here, but eh)

It's regarding data that was found through datamining that mentions character and stage DLC and "A challenger approaching" by connecting to the Wii U version.

Locked Wrote:Not to be rude but that post is full of shit and jumps to many conclusions. The 'messages for DLC' are just messages that tell you not to remove the SD card etc. They just query the state of the SD card and some warnings. The entire post reeks of someone who made conclusions who doesn't speak a lick of Japanese.

Razmos Wrote:Oh I see, fair enough. I wonder if the original post on smashboards was less... conclusion jumpy. *shrug*

EDIT: The guy who originally datamined the game later said this.
