[up]You're confusing it with 3DS's Arena Ferox. The Wii U's origins are far more broad and simple (if a vast improvement over Brawl's).

Nope- The Colosseum is a completely new area, albeit based on the Arenas throughout the series.

Arena Ferox is the only not-invented-for-Smash stage in either version of Smash 4.

I sure said that!

No, the arena in 3DS is from Awakening.

[up][up][up][up][up][up][up][up]On the other hand, as I recall, every last one of those maps listed acts flat. Having the high ground hasn't counted for much in most Fire Emblem titles (except for Radiant Dawn)

Sooo..,you can pocket items that you're holding, pull it out whenever you want, and pocketing another item auto switches with the other item you had.

Ah. I stand corrected. [lol]

Ratcheting up the difficulty one match at a time in the demo. If I'm anything like I was with Brawl, I'll probably be stuck on level 5-7 AI until I get a better feel of my character.

The collasseum is supposedly based on the arena in the nes games, or so I've heard.

A good writer puts in a lot of details in there story. But a great one gets a story from a single detail.

Whether the maps acted flat doesn't really matter, though, does it? Visually, there's lots of variation, and a stage in Smash would be based more on how it looked than how it played, yes? Unless Arena Ferox always had constantly shifting platforms that I've as yet failed to notice.

Er, that was a bit poorly phrased, but the point got through, right?

I took more issue with the post saying FE was "abysmally represented". The franchise with 4 fighters and 3 stages, 2 on Wii U is "abysmally represented"?

So I'm playing the demo, and how the hell do I use Smash Balls?

I never played Brawl, so I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do once I break it open.

[up]Yep.

Got the demo Well...i just realized something embarrasing,

I can fight level 9 fighters pretty well, as Mario; Nothing special, but decently. I can't do shit with anyone else.

The price of playing nothing but Mario during your days in Brawl...Heh.

What is a neutral special, exactly?

Is that the B button? Because I tried that, but it never seemed to do anything.

[up]X7

Numbers aren’t exactly everything are they?

Three stages, but two of them have barely anything to do with Fire Emblem

Four characters, but one’s a clone and two, not counting the clone, aren’t exactly great representations of Fire Emblem… Not that there’s that much unique you can do with swords, especially based off of Fire Emblem’s rather limited set of animations, so whatever on that one

... But my fanboyism is beginning to overtake my reason, so I'll be leaving until I get irrationally angry about Fire Emblem again. Which will hopefully be a while.

Hm. Maybe I'm just trying to do it while I'm moving and not noticing.

Also, I can't believe how good the game looks. The screenshots made the 3DS version look hideous. But seeing it in person, it's actually alright.

though its never been uncommon for games to look better in motion than in screenshots.

3DS games never look anywhere near as good in screenshots as they do in motion.

True. But The screenshots here almost look like an entirely different game.

More things I'm noticing: I really like that Megaman can fire his Megabuster while moving. It's a small touch, but a nice one.

That's basically what his Side Tilt is- Run and Buster.

The Metal Blade seems significantly more effective if you throw it at Mega Man's feet and then use it like an item.

Strategy times:

Villager pockets...

...Fairy bottle(...or any high health restoring item...), as soon as 100% damage or higher is reached immediately un-pocket it...instant heal.

...Warp Star, Hammer, "bomb", or Crate, deal a lotta damage to opponent and surprise them with their 100th B-day suit party.

...Hot Head, fire attack it to max size and then pocket it whenever it seems like it might run out. Resets the time limit and size(I think)due to technicality.

Cannot Pocket...Smash Ball, Assist Trophy, Pokeball, or Cuckoo.

Amusingly enough the one I have the most difficulty playing with is Pikachu

Also, not sure if it was already known, but the Home-Run Bat now has super-armor attached to it. The AI doesn't really know how to deal with it, I scored 4 kills with it due to the CPU wanting to knock me out of it and failing.

So, I don't have the demo downloaded yet, but I watched some play and it is beautiful.

Can't freaking wait. Although given that I have a regular, small 3DS I am worried for my system.
