Topic: Super Smash Bros. for Wii U - OT

speaking of which, board the platforms!

I'd be in too. There's no telling what they have planned though. It looks like Sakurai and his team want to game to keep growing for a while. Sakurai's farewell tour is shaping up nicely.

That would be awesome, actually...maybe for Pac-man they can design it like a maze.

Wow, suddenly I'm fairly decent with Lucario. Seems the trick to using him is to stick with tilts and short hop aerials rather than smash attacks.

I wanted this in smash before pm did it.

Well, it's 2am EST and no Mewtwo yet. Guess I'll go to bed then

Tried it at 7:30 am EST and Mewtwo still wasn't available. Now I have to wait until after work, so hopefully he'll be ready by then.

Mewtwo is now available from the eshop.

But...I just tried to get him and he wasn't available. At 10am EST

He's only available for Europeans. Grumble grumble

Smash Bros. Wii U has more participants at CEO than Melee!

I'm honestly surprised, given how obsessed some people are with Melee.

Heh, at the moment at least...
This is what I got from the comment section from that article,

"Organizer of CEO here, These are extremely early numbers and won’t even be close to representing the final numbers after registration closes on June 21st. Just keep that in mind ."

Mewtwo is out in America now

Oooh nice, I'll download him for my 3DS later.

It's funny how the character selection screen looks so much more populated with just one additional fighter in the roster. Can't wait for my Lucas to return!

Also I've always loved how Mewtwo picks up items with his telekinesis.

Oh woe, I'm four pesos short.

I guess I'll wait until I buy a new prepaid card and buy the 3ds-wiiu bundle.

Can't forget that when he holds on to a item and does a air dodge, the item goes nuts!

I've played online with Mewtwo for a little bit (5 battles, not that many) but I've been pretty successful with him so far. I've won all but one battle and they were all against Japanese players. The one I lost against was Donkey Kong. I get the feeling heavy hitters like DK and Bowser will be the bane of Mewtwo's existence, given his lightness.

I would have thought quick characters would give him a lot of trouble too, but I played against a Sonic and a Yoshi and won both. A couple battles is not indicative of all battles though, so we'll see.

I've also noticed that battles with Mewtwo tend to go on for a while, probably because most of Mewtwo's attacks are slow and deliberate. Also everyone I fought against pretty much stared at me as I charged my shadowballs, what's up with that? You'd think they'd try and interrupt me. Perhaps I suck with Mewtwo and everyone I fought against just sucked more than me, lol

@Undead_terror Really? Lol, I need to try that now

Omg I just tried the dodging-with-an-item thing with Mewtwo and it is hysterical. Was that in Melee? Did they do that on purpose?

What happens when you airdodge with an item?
