Super Smash Bros. for Wii U

Chucking them on the Stars Catalogue would be greatly appreciated.

So here's the first Balladeer's Wii U Smash Week of the new thread. I'm only going to be focussing on the Wii U stuff, because all the 3DS stuff can be found out yourselves now. I will, however, sum up what Sakurai talks about on the 3DS - this week it's Conquest Mode, a secret course and its main feature (think pink), and advising you to use Ganondorf in the Home Run Contest. (It's true - I've got 600+ with him.)

Tuesday (amiibo):

Thursday (Trophies):

Another post, another week. Tuesday was just playing Where's Stalfos? with the 3DS trophy hoard, so I won't feature that.

Monday (Trophies):

Wednesday (Game Modes):

Thursday (Touches):

Friday (Trophies):

Isn't Zael an assistst trophy, or am I going mad? Interesting that the hands have separate modes.

I've heard that as well & if so it surely means there will be a chance of seeing other new assists. (maybe have them console related?)

Sakurai said a while ago that there were going to be some differences in the Assists between versions - just not many. But I can't find anything on the web saying that Zael's an assist, apart from one blog misinterpreting this story.

EDIT: Welp, looks like Amazon has jumped the gun in revealing modes. Nothing's safe on the Internet nowadays.

I'm guessing that the greyed out word is...:

The direct is on tonight, right? Are we game for a GNamer text Skype session during it?

I had something spoiled on twitter that might be revealed tonight Yep I know I shouldn't have been on there but I completely forgot the direct was today. ( I may as well watch the direct now)

@Jay A skype chat sounds like a good idea.

Is that at 11? Unfortunately that'd be a bit late for me as ideally I'd be asleep then. Will probs try and catch it at work tomorrow though.

Oh yes, they're going to reveal unlockable characters during it. Be warned, all! (Not quite sure why...)

I probably ought to get an early night. We'll see what actually happens.

I'm anticipating a BIG character reveal.

I'll be about Skype anyway at 11 for anyone wanting to join the chat.

Would if I had skype on the laptop after it got fixed.

The Ridley dream is formally dead.

EDIT: "Master Beast"? Oh dear. Bad thoughts.

He must of been in the code as they got one right, also I like the little dig at you clone moaning lot.

SAKURAI YOU EVIL GENIUS!

New character cynicism:

Right, raining on parade time.

General cynicism:

Events look pretty special this time around, though. And hey - 8-player Smash! Will need to find an excuse to shoe-horn eight people into my flat, again.

Jay, you dog! I'm sure Nintendo's "men in black" will come hunting for you, so you'd better duck for cover!

It'll be Reggie with a sack of pennies and brass knuckles.

Thought related to big reveal:

I AM SO EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Genuine fanboy overload watching that, so much in the game, I don't know if I'll need anything else for the whole of 2015.

On the reveals...:

I'm also really excited about the free CD, if I for some reason don't manage to get one of those I will cry actual tears.

I quite enjoyed that direct lot's of fun looking content to get tore into on December 5th.

I would also like to get the announcer's phone number, just so I could call him and listen to his voice.

I said this on the skype chat but it sounded really odd hearing him speak for that length of time.

I thought it was George Takei at first.

He really does sound like him.

At least there's one thing to buy this for even without a Wii U, that soundtrack.  Twoud be very nice to add it to the shelf.  

The game's looking set to be every bit the ten out of ten system seller I was expecting it would be, so many glorious looking modes to play, and I'm sure the new stages will make 3 vs 1 fights fun when I get bored of the modes.  That trophy display collection case thing is going to fuel my collecting ocd like crazy.  And the new master core form looks absolutely insane.

Also f*** yeah metal face!  Always loved that guy.
