Super Smash Bros. Wii U and 3DS Discussion

So, I just picked this game up, and tried my hands at doing some online mulitplayer (never played any iteration of this game prior to this version). Is it common, even after getting the patch, for the two games I tried to play to have connectivity issues?

What are your download and upload speeds? Having connectivity issues could also be on your opponent's end, and not so much yours. Distance also plays a pretty big part in it.

On the note of distance, I'm in Japan.. =/


Is that good, or bad, or meh?

Seems kind of "meh." I'm no expert though. On my old internet, I had verizon fios, which was 20 or 25 mbps. I found majority of my matches lag-wise "okay" at best for the 3ds.

That said, I played the Wii U game on my new internet (Cox, 50 mbps). The lag still seems to vary wildly. Still better than Brawl, thank goodness.

I have lower speeds than you but I can play everyone in the US just fine. Being in Japan is probably the largest factor there. You also most likely just got an opponent who has a crappy connection.

When it comes to Nintendo online canes, ping(distance measured in time it takes to send and receive info) as well as latency are much larger factors compared to dlul speeds. Tis one of the reasons why dolphin netplay lags less than Wii play. Measuring dlul rates while playing project m, it only uses like 20kbps ul tops, and similar dl. It's how clean the line is which affects fluidity.

Super Smash Bros is reportedly in short supply throughout the UK.

According to CVG, retailers including Amazon and ShopTo are struggling to fulfil orders in time for launch.
GameCube controllers, pad adaptors and Amiibo are also said to be delayed.

NeoGAF users have said that their orders have been pushed back to as late as December 19.

Goddamn, it's a bad time to be a Nintendo fan in Europe.

Pokemon was a week later than the rest of the world, Smash was a week later even after being pushed forward, Amiibo's delayed.
No wonder we get all the special editions when we get messed around like this

Hmm Shopto sent me my copy yesterday and i preordered really late o.o..

Something bizarre: someone had already used my PIN that came with smash.

How even. It was bought new, still in the plastic

I simply cannot get even close to beating the last event for 2 players (On Hard).

 Spoiler

And that event with Palutena and Ganondorf vs the giant metal G&Ws. My god. I've only managed to beat one and that was by pure luck.

I'm assuming the event is the same for solo mode. Any tips?

They opened it, used the code, then reseal it in plastic.

What store did you buy it from?

Gamestop, everyone's favorite gamestore

Lmao I was afraid of that. They bought your copy, resealed it, and sold it as new. Go back in there and peach them out. In fact, I implore you to never buy from that pomegranate hole again. What a scummy company, I've heard of them doing this but this is 100% proof right here. Absolutely ridiculous.

Can they be sued for this?

I believe so, but it'd probably require more evidence than what he has available to him. Although I guess if he could get a hold of nintendo support they could tell him when the code was redeemed and compare that with his purchase receipt or bank statement. If the dates don't match up, bam. There's undeniable proof.

Guess it's a good thing I got my bundle from Best Buy, but I'll never know if my PIN was used as well until after Club Nintendo resets in July.

Still scouring the planet for a Marth Amiibo at retail price...

Right now, on Amazon, they're going anywhere between $48 to $1,000 depending on the seller. lmao

Speaking of amiibo and retail...

Not a single store in my city is even carrying Marth, Wii Fit Trainer and Villager.
About half of the major retailers don't even have them as a product on their site when 'amiibo' is searched and of the ones that do they all return out of stock for my city as well as for all major cities within a 4 hour drive.
:f6:

For context I live in one of the 'smaller' cities in the most densely populated area of Ontario.

I shall not double post!

Apparently, that error has been around for awhile.
