Topic: Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

@redd214 Yesssss. That reminds me, I need to charge my pro when I get home in 5 hours.
11 hours 45 minutes for me. Hngggngngngn

Amazon screwed me on the gamecube adaptor. Won't get it until Tuesday now.

Guess I'm using joycons. Not going to destroy my Xenoblade pro controller playing this game. Lol

@HobbitGamer remember, somewhere, it's five o'clock!

It’s only noon here

Damn, online wasn't up in time for reviews. That's the only thing I was interested in checking reviews for.

@AlternateButtons Yeah, the sticks in both are fragile. My pro already has a slight weird hitch going up and down. And in super gentle on it.

No worries though, just found a game stop nearby that had it. Now I have the adapter, 2 New controllers, and my two old GC ones. Score!

Well at least I got stuff to do today that'll kill some hours, guess after that I'll play more Monster Hunter until then. Also thinking about watching all 3 Smash Ultimate Directs/E3 thing a couple of hours before midnight. -w-

@AlternateButtons Quite possible. My launch day Pro controller's material feels much looser and cheaper than a new one we picked up last week, where everything feels "stiffer", if that makes sense, and much sturdier.

@AlternateButtons Could be, I chalked mine up to just being the first production, but I could have easily been unlucky. Never dropped it, rarely even used it in all honesty, but the plastic of the sticks is chalky as well as the stick itself can be a little loose.

@AlternateButtons I've never thrown mine but my issues mainly with the control sticks. It's very hard to feel but if you move up and down slightly you can feel the stick will want to go to either the left or right. I think something is wrong with the sensor. It's hard to feel unless you make a slow motion.

Also with all the reports on stuck sticks and whatnot leads me to believe there is some sort of design flaw with them. With all the flicking in Smash, Inc sure we'll see more issues poo up.

I bet you have some scratches on the top shiny plastic though!

@PikPi My Xenoblade controller isnt like that. It's nice a solid, other than at times you can tell the handles creak, and of course the left stick issue that happened through use.

Big reason for me why pro controller is a no-go for smash is the long throw and lack of an octagonal gate. That long throw is ironically why I prefer the joy con stick when playing Xenoblade.

@Sanya_Claus OMG, another name change....between you and whoever the eel is this month, nobody will ever know who not to flip off

@PikPi @AlternateButtons I fear there was something wrong with the launch batch of Pros. I had two in my house. One the left stick developed massive drift and was barely used. The other, still works fine but has a creakiness moving up and down as though a rubber collar is rubbing against something, like the old PC flight joystics with the rubber skirt that covered the spring and ball.

Still, I bought a cheap wired Horipad to abuse with MHGU and Smash.

So.. anyone not received their Piranha code either yet? Yes, I checked my spam inbox several times, it did not arrive. Pre-ordered digitally on the eShop early november in the US eShop..

I'm in Europe, and I can't seem to find any e-mail on Nintendo US support, only by telephone. I contacted Nintendo Europe earlier to ask if they could see why it wasn't sent yet, but alas no reply since 2 weeks. What's the deal here? Anyone else have the same problem?

I'm pretty sure you get Piranha as long as you register the game before sometime in February next year...

@subpopz from the moment you did the preorder, is what I've seen confirmed.

@Sanya_Claus the registration you mention is with the physical edition, not the digital one. The latter ought to be 'automatic'. I've not seen any people mentioning they didn't get it, a month after preorder, that is why I'm a bit worried.

@Megal0maniac Well did you check your Nintendo Account settings to see if the option to receive emails from Nintendo is ticked?

You're not going to receive the email if you haven't got it ticked.

I'm playing the game now. I'm European and it's already past 0:00 so it's Friday here. I feel like I'm better than all of you.

@Agriculture You’re the noble to my peasant. Happy Smashing!!

Bf and I have decided to make the very unwise decision to go for a midnight release. Unwise because we need to be up by 6am, haha. But it's always kind of special to do something like that for a game every once in a while

@NEStalgia Those were pretty decent controllers. After some update they ended up getting some input lag though.

Hallelujah! My Pro Controller and my copy of the game has shipped and will be arriving tomorrow. So hyped!
