Topic: Super Smash Bros. for Wii U - OT

Probably not the actual minority. I just find it less entertaining because I have to drag people in to play it with me and they never wanna do it. >w<

It hurts. Trust me, I've felt it before...OR HAVE I!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

So anyways, I just recently got Smash a few days ago and my god this is enjoyable. My current main men are Link, Marth and Pikachu. Need to pick up some Amiibos soon.

I think I actually knew that one!

It sounds like you're doing just fine. Just take your time to finish the last ones, no rush. (^-^)v

I refuse to use hammers on challenges....

I use hammers on challenges because I'm a noob and I suck too bad to complete them myself.

I have no idea whether anyone here cares, but I'll just post it anyway. I did 50 online For Glory 1-on-1 battles, and wrote down what characters I encounted. Then, I made this pie chart of my results: http://postimg.org/image/rp0cw0qln/
I was curious what characters were being used a lot online. The results are unsuprising to me (Little Mac, Captain Falcon and Link) but maybe you were wondering. Do with it what you like.
Note: This was done in Super Smash Bros for Nintendo 3DS (I don't own a Wii U (yet)). But since it probably also affects the Wii U version, I decided to post it here anyway.

I enjoy both Smash Run and Smash Tour, and I still say this despite the fact that I always play both solo. Smash Tour is entertaining for its sheer level of randomness. It is not a mode for serious play, but it does get annoying sometimes (just like Mario Party). Collecting Fighters is perhaps one of my favorite things about it. You never know who's going to pop up, though I do wish the custom characters were randomized. Instead there's 3 combinations for each character using the 3 sets of special moves and always the same colors for each. To be fair, I do like Smash Run a bit more. The platforming and beating up on enemies really remind me of The Subspace Emissary from Brawl, and I loved that mode. It's also fun to use customized characters on, as well as picking up all those stat boosts to make you feel like a god. If it was on the Wii U version I'd be playing both it and Tour a lot.

I agree.

If you're annoyed by the custom character movesets,you can always turn off custom characters entirely before you start the game.
Personally,I think Smash Tour is a good PARTY mode.Not one for actual serious play,like you said.But sometimes the CPU can be real jerks(one time one of the CPU made me take 100% damage at the start of a match and another made me mini at the SAME TIME).It's really just a mode made to make friends make each other mad,but in a good and fun way,like Mario Party.

Ok So besides the Gamecube controller (which I can't use cause I don't have the adapter and I refuse to pay the bloated eBay prices for one) which controller is the best one to play Smash Bros with. I have the Gamepad (of course) Wiimotes with Nunchuks a classic controller, a Classic Controller pro and a 3DS.

@Drobotic: It isn't the custom characters that annoy me. In fact, I like it better when they're on since it adds a bit more variety and randomness. What does annoy me is that the customs aren't random. Each character has three variations each using one numbered set of special moves. Furthermore, each of those special move sets is also assigned a particular one of that character's colors. Taking Link for example, his default green color has special set 1, his Skyward Sword clothes has special set 2, and Dark Link has special set 3. It's the same every time, and I know what special set characters have by their color when I see them on the board. It is by no means important or anything, I'd just prefer if the specials and colors were random.

Wii U Pro Controller is pretty awesome for Smash. At least for me. I plan to try the these GC controllers I have once the adapter comes back in stock.

I would try that but I don't have the Wii U Pro controller I just have the ones I listed.

Give the Classic Controller Pro a try. It's what I used when I played Brawl on the Wii U, and it felt pretty good. Really it all comes down to what you like, so just give everything you have a try.

I'm gonna sound crazy saying this, but give the 3DS a shot as a controller.

I've really gotten accustomed to it. The biggest draw for me is how close the face buttons are to one another, making switching buttons a lot easier than the clunky larger diamond layout on the Gamepad or Pro controller.

Only problem is you can only use this in local Smash play. Nowhere else.

I don't own the Wii U version, but I always played Brawl with the regular Classic Controller. I also really like the 3DS, but many people don't, so that's a matter of taste. I'd recommend using the Classic Controller Pro (which probably handles similair to the regular one)

I personally really love the Pro Controller. It's my favorite control method, but then, I don't have a GCN adapter, so it's not like I've been playing with Gamecube controllers all that much.

Also, challenge update: 138/140

This time I really DID make a lot of progress! A ton of All-Star and Classic runs later, and I'm short only three trophies. Not to mention selling some equipment and a few really good Crazy Orders got me to 300k Gold before I knew it, and my very first Smash Tour match of the day got me the Metroid and that last CD that was hiding behind it. So what's left?

-50,000 boxes in trophy rush.
-The no-lifer Classic run.

I'm getting a bit antsy. That Trophy Rush challenge can only keep me preoccupied for so long. The no-lifer is unavoidable and it'll be here sooner than I'm ready for it. I need to go set up an OP Ganondorf fast.

Smash Wii U has reached (and most likely surpassed by now) 1.5 million sales.
