Can you play team smash with 8 players or is it free-for-all only in that mode?

What's the yellow team for?

They better allow 7v1 matches for the daredevil in me.

I can barely stay on field with 3 CPU's against me. All my friends aren't as hardcore in Smash as I am so I actually have a chance with that. I bet less than a day of Smash Wii U and an uploaded video on Youtube will be someone winning 1v7.

Wavedashes behind you Got some of dat Maylay?

I don't think it's possible to win 1v7 on lvl9...

Of course Nintendo can't fool you... I still remember that you predicted the future SSB U sales so accurately on Fri 17th Oct:

SALES PREDICTIONS:
NOTE: if all of these predictions end up being wrong, you can all look back at this and laugh at me, or whatever.

1. 100,000 copies in US (launch weekend), and 40,000 in Japan
2. It will take 3 months for the game to sell 1,000,000 million
3. Captain Toad will outsell Smash Wii U by 2 million worldwide by March 2015
4. The game will flop
5. Gamecube Smash Wii U bundle sales: 30,000 worldwide by March 2015
6. If/when 3DS owners buy a Wii U that own Smash 3DS, 10% of them will buy Smash Wii U
7. The game will have 2 million lifetime sales
8. It won't "save" the Wii U
9. Only hardcore Smash fans will buy the game
BONUS: 10. Captain Toad will have 4 million lifetime sales.

Bottom line: My expectations are extreeeeemley low. If the game does well, I will be really shocked.

  • Smash for 3DS moves 3mill units in a couple of weeks
  • Smash for Wii U 30min video on youtube has 1.2mill views in a couple of days
  • No game in the series has sold less than 5mill, worst selling version was on the N64
  • Four games on Wii U have moved more than 2mill, Mario Kart 8 is sitting close to 3 and is still in the charts
  • Mario Kart 8 moved 1mill units in its opening week

Just saying, the conservative estimate would be to predict that this game sells about as well as Mario Kart 8 did. It is selling during the best shopping period of the year and it is one of the best selling games Nintendo has. Historically it's only behind Mario Kart and Mario. Saying it'll move only 140k in the first week is rather disagreeable

You're right. If Mario Kart 8 can do 1mil+ in it's opening weekend, than Smash can too. Socko's predictions were all over the place and some contradicted others.

Yeah, Socko's predictions are rather a swing and miss just by looking at it but can we not have any shots fired by ganging up?

Remember that those predictions were back when we barely knew anything about the Wii U version besides that it was ''Smash in HD".
If it didn't have all those 50 things then his prediction may have actually been correct.

Yea, but we should get some time to practice, so not immediately on launch day.

It isn't ready for launch, it will be given to download for free later (I think), so we already will have time to practice lol.

Ok the tournament is a bit confusing. Is the "official" tournament itself not ready for launch, or the online tournaments too?

I'm gonna guess that it sells a ton, but not enough to make the wii u a success in terms of hardware sales. It'll kinda be like melee was for gamecube. Everyone with a wii u willhave smash, but not everyone will obviuosly have a wii u.

I would be unable to connect to the internet on a console. I forfeit already.
Damn I just realized this. When I get the WiiU, I can't really hook up the internet to it to get updates or Mewtwo. Unless... Quick question?
Can the WiiU use the hot spot from a mobile phone to connect to the internet like the 3DS does?

Yes it can, the mobile just creates a standard wifi network, the Wii U will see it.

All cuts from brawl and melee yes even pichu. I'd like to see at least a few other new characters, but I doubt we're gonna see more than 5 new characters in the wii u's lifespan.

Characters. I would love to see Lucas, Wolf, and the Ice Climbers come back (though the Ice Climbers would entirely depend on if A. Sakurai and his team decide to try to get them working again, and more importantly B. they actually succeed.) Heck, I'd even like for Pichu to come back. And no, that wasn't a typo or anything. Though I'm 90% sure that there'll be downloadable stages because of the tab found in the 3DS's files. But first I'd just like Sakurai to take a vacation. It could be for a year for all I care. I am genuinely concerned for his well-being.

Given that Smash Wii U's pre-orders were already on the rise well before the 50 things direct I highly doubt that.

And even if it did open as poorly as he predicted it wouldn't take 3 months to sell 1 million copies with Black Friday and Christmas just around the corner.
