Smash 4 Hype Thread - 3DS is out; WiiU hype train FULL STEAM AHEAD

[Colticide]

How is lag? I've only done spectator so far and want to get used to the controls before I start online.

okay 8 player smash is humanity's greatest achievement

[Colticide]

Oh wow there seems to be a bit of lag when I'm playing, about half a second off my inputs. Still though online is fun! I may not be good but I'd still love to battle some of you!

I made a graphic for stage legality.



The 7 stages with question marks are being debated quite a bit right now.
IMO Pokemon Stadium 2 is fine now. No more tripping on Ice, everyone falls faster now for Air, no more infinites on Ground, and the conveyor belts move slower on Electric.
Wuhu Island has an OHKO glitch which hopefully will get fixed in a later patch.
Kongo Jungle and Pilotwings MIGHT be okay but also might be severely campable.
Mushroom Kingdom and Mario Kart 8 stages would have been okay but they have a bunch of hazards like Nabbit, falling icicles, rising spikes, damaging hard wall ceilings, and shy guy karts.
Norfair I dunno someone said it was debatable in Brawl but I don't think anyone actually like it lol.

Even without those we have at least 10 good stages. Duck Hunt is probably leaning closer to Neutral so we have 6 neutral stages and 4 transformation-type counter picks. So much better than the 3DS' stagelist like holy shit :V

For doubles/3v3/4v4 the stages that are banned just because they're too big are fine, namely Big Battlefield and Windy Hill and Hyrule Temple :V

What am I looking at exactly? Is this for competitive or something?

[Sparrow Song]

It looks like there will be no Palutena Amiibo. I saw nothing in the future planned (3 waves) release list.   Maybe because they never plan to do anything with her, meh.

Yes :V

I'm pretty sure Nintendo said they will eventually have an Amiibo for everyone in Smash

[Colticide]

Well this bit of news is interesting.

Two armed Samus Amiibo

Precisely for competitive play, actually. The idea behind it is to set up a list of stages that don't allow for cheap losses of stocks through walk-offs (wherein the stage's ground layer extends all the way to the off-stage boundary, like in the Mario Galaxy and Yoshi's Wooly World maps) and stage hazards. (karts in the Mario Kart stages and various elemental hazards in the Kalos Pokemon League) Also, if it's awkward to move around the stage, (such as with Green Hill Zone or Gaur Plains) it's banned. I'm a bit touchy on the specifics, but neutral stages speak for themselves: They're meant to be simple stages with zero stage hazards and are easy enough to move around on. Final Destination and Battlefield are automatically in that category throughout the whole series. Counterpicks have a couple of less-than-problematic hazards and are a bit more complex, I think... They're usually those "tour" kind of maps that change the map's contents every once in a while, like Halberd and Castle Siege.

But uh, like I said, I'm not very well versed in specifics.

Someone make a new thread and I'll lock this

Also would be useful if the OP had all the friend codes :V
