Can I just say that fighting the Fighting Mii Team in Cruel Smash is a terrifying experience? The Brawler can kill me if he so much gets a hit in or he might lock me in place with his multi-hit combo for others to get the kill, the Swordfighter's range makes it horrible to approach him, and the Mii Gunner has projectiles with incredibly long range for a Fighting ____ Team member so I'm practically unsafe no matter where I am or who I'm fighting. Not to mention that they are less vulnerable to exploits now.

It's like they actually lowered the number of opponents I had to beat in Cruel Brawl from 5 to 4 as if they knew I was going to get my ass kicked if I tried to get the usual 5 kills...

I will once again say that Counter-type specials are the way to win Cruel Smash. You'll be able to hit at least four KOs if you're careful.

I sure said that!

[up] Oh, I know that, but it's still a more terrifying experience than either of the other games' Cruel fights.

I got 4 kills with Greninja.

Most painful experience I've had.

The Gamepad is perfectly serviceable for Smash, but the GC controller is ideal, I have to admit. Kinda funny how this series continues to breathe life into a controller for a system that's over a decade old now. Gotta say though, using the 3DS as a controller feels kind of awkward and gimmicky. They're definitely worth putting up with as a trade off to have a version I can take on the go, but why on earth would I want to use that circle pad on the console version when there are multiple control options with actual thumb sticks?

Anyway, does anyone have a guide to unlocking all the stages in event mode? I know the events you're supposed to play, but I'm not sure how to navigate the grid to get to those events.

I may not get ORAS, but I do have Smash U. The hype has paid off.

Just try and get 9 Cruel Smash Kills with Lucina. That's required for a challenge.

(Hint: Just save a hammer for that one)

Not planning on getting Smash U until Christmas; Smash 3DS can hold me until then.

So I have a question for those who picked up both versions: if you link up the 3DS and Wii U versions, what transfers?

I already got the one requisite kill(s) in Cruel to get Duck Hunt. Wanted to get that out of the way immediately.

Can you believe they only had ONE Villager amiibo at my local Gamestop? And no Lonks. Heck I saw more Petch then Malleo.

[up]You can transfer customized characters, natch. Including each and every Mii you made.

Just about every time I've seen a dev talk about that decision they frame it in the most positive-sounding way of saying "we implemented that as a stopgap in case you have four controllers and five players".

Beat the "Survive 1 Minute of Cruel Smash with Luigi" and got a Mr. L trophy for my troubles. Definitely worth it.

Oh yeah, I'm not saying it wouldn't have its uses in certain situations. They clearly anticipated people wouldn't be using a 3DS as a main controller all the time since only the main Smash modes are playable with it. Anyway, it certainly doesn't harm the game in any way by being there.

Aw, that's a shame. I was hoping to use it in more modes than that.sad

PLEASE LET SCHOOL END PLEASE! LET ME PLAY SMASH!

My brother and sister this morning were really sad this morning because they couldn't play it yet.

Unfortunately for them, I don't have class today! grin

Already unlocked all the characters and stages too.

Cruel Smash is a bitch.

In less than 24 hours I've already got my aMariibo up to level 50. I named him Amri. Now just comes the feeding him...

But it doesn't seem that I can use him in any other mode besides Smash, so that's unfortunate...

Also, I found out that you can't alter custom fighters that you imported from 3DS. Which means that if I want to change them I'll have to change them on 3DS and import them again and that'll just take so long until I start getting good things on Wii U.

Oh well. Been having fun. I like the new stages and 8-player Smash and the new modes. There's alllllways something to do.

When I get my Greninja amiibo I'll give him the same nickname I gave to my Greninja in X/Y

It's Teishi by the way, it means "apprentice". It feels very appropriate tongue

I would love to get Smash Wii U, but I don't have a Wii U. I would totally get a Lucario Amiibo though. I main Captain Falcon, but Lucario has always been a favorite of mine.

I'm hoping I can get ORAS as a Christmas present.

I'm apparently set up to be receiving the game/adapter/controller set for my birthday and a Wii U setup for Christmas, so, erm, nothing from me until the 25th of next month, y'all.
