Don't know about the first (I've just been using Master Orders myself), but for the other two:

  • CDs occasionally drop during normal fights (CD factories don't work anymore, sadly) and might show up as an in-between reward in All-star (at least, I got an equipment piece during an All-star run; might be a similar story for CDs).
  • Remixes are tracks remixed for Smash, while original tracks are completely unaltered from their source.

When I look at the music, some tracks have a red "Remix" icon, while others have a dark gray icon. What's the difference?
Red means it's a remix made specifically for Smash 4, while gray means it was arranged in an earlier Smash game.

I sure said that!

  1. I've found that beating Master Orders with the character you want specials for is the fastest way for me. Sometimes after a ticket you can get a bonus piece of equipment for whoever you're using.
  2. I've read that you can get CD's while playing Smash with items on, but I never got any...probably because I got em all in Master Orders. Also there are some that you have to beat challenges for.
  3. One color is for new songs and one color is for songs from older Smash games, but I don't remember which was which. ^I figured that red was new.

...And now I realize I completely misread the last question. Ah well, that's usual for me (and just as well; I didn't know the answer to that one either).

What's the best way to unlock custom specials in the Wii U version? In every method I've tried, I get one good run with lots of specials, followed by a ton of equipment and maybe one special if the game is feeling nice.

Time. Lots and lots of time. Irritatingly, the custom category also includes and most of the time will give equipment rather than moves, across every mode that gives them. You have no idea whether that package of goodies from Master/Crazy Orders or those wrenches you got in the roulette in Classic Mode (or from beating certain fighters) will be a move or a Shield Badge, but usually it'll be the latter.

I've found the mode that gives custom moves most reliably is Smash Tour, but you also have very little control over what you unlock in that mode so it's a toss-up.

Also, IIRC Crazy Orders does reliably give one Custom Move to the fighter you most recently defeated, should you beat Crazy Hand.

Oh, cancel dashes and mobility exploits, no matter what developers do or don't put into their games you will never stop being a fighting game staple. The gamers will always find a way, if there isn't already one.

Also, Megaman is now officially broken on walkoff stages.

With the game being constantly updated, maybe they'll fix this soon. Only to make room for more engine exploits, but eh.

Actually, Sakurai finished doing normal updates. If his crew and himself see anything particularly broken, they'll fix it up, but otherwise, they aren't doing general balance updates anymore. Special situations only now.

I could see that getting fixed, though.

I don't think it'll get patched.

Sakurai's only comment on later patches and so on was a noncommittal "there are no plans at this time". There were also no plans to have DLC for Mario Kart 8, but that doesn't mean we didn't eventually get Link and Mute City.

No, he outright said if an issue comes up, he'll fix those(if he believes it's an issue). He said well more than that.

"In an interview with Famitsu magazine this week, Sakurai has said that he has no plans to balance or update the game further, other than providing fixes for a few things associated with the online play experience.

He did mention, however, that if there are any glaring issues with the characters' customize parts or moves, the development team would address them too — but only if necessary."

http://www.eventhubs.com/news/2014/dec/14/sakura-has-no-plans-balance-super-smash-bros-wii-u3ds-further-outside-fixes-improve-online-experience/ Source. Hopefully it works right due to the long url. But yeah, he said more none the less. Online issues was a specific thing he plans to fix as is. And since online is far from perfect, we can probably expect some patches for it.

Sheesh, all these fancy techniques/skills/exploits popping up makes the idea of trying to get good at Smash pretty daunting. I already know I'm not smart enough to discover these things, dunno if I'm good enough to learn how to use any of them.

Oh well, I'm stuck with 3DS anyway and I kind of doubt it's going to get as much of the competitive scene with the Wii-U version out. But in other news, only 13 characters to go before I clear All-Star with everyone (on normal). Then I get to work my way through Smash Run!

So the RNG was kind enough to give me a level 3 Hammer power, the exact power I need to collect all the Smash Run Powers and clear the very last panel on the Challenge Grid.

Bought the game yesterday along with my Wii U yesterday as a belated Christmas present.

LOVING IT! grin

Already I've done 5 vs. matches with CPUs and I still got it! grin

It really helps that you can still use the Wii Remote by itself.

Quick question, how many Vs. battles do I have to do to fight and unlock Lucina? 10, right?

Yomegami Since: Jan, 2011
#66668: Dec 27th 2014 at 9:02:41 AM

10 gets you Falco. Lucina is unlocked after 30 (or alternatively you could beat Classic at 5.5 or higher intensity).

Gotta love how easy character unlocks got.

Many may not like it, and prefer experimenting and doing everything to unlock everything the game has to offer but I'm not adventurous or clever, so screw hyous.

I always hated unlocking Ness in the first Super Smash Bros. for obvious reasons. I wasn't that good at Smash.

Got Smash Wii U for Christmas, and I got some time to play around with it yesterday.

I'm currently sucking a lot more than I expected. I don't know if it's because I still need to get used to a non-Gamecube controller (I should probably change the "grab" and "shield" buttons to where I keep thinking they are), or if I'm just horribly out of practice.

Also, are amiibos used for anything other than generic Smash battles? Or are you able to summon your amiibo during any of the other modes?

I'd love to play more of the Wii U Smash Bros., but unfortunately, my Gamepad's screen broke internally a few days back. Took it to Best Buy's Geek Squad (because I got the console there during Smash-Fest in June), and apparently they've run into some stumbling blocks. It's a good thing it's still under warranty. And with the Gamepad busted, I can't play while the TV is in use (which is the vast majority of the day), nor do I have a GCN adapter or a Pro Controller, and I absolutely refuse to use the Wiimote or the Wiimote+Nunchuk.

On a lighter note, I found (while playing Smash for 3DS) that throwing a Pitfall at one of Kawashima's numbers makes it fall down to and through the ground.

Just took on Classic Mode for the first time with my main man Kirby.

And got a surprise challenge match with Falco!

…He kicked my butt pretty soundly. sad

Oh well! Happens to the best of us, I guess! grin

I'll be able to take him on again when I do 5 more Vs. fights anyway. smile

I don't know if it's different on the Wii U, but on the 3DS if you were beaten by a new challenger they challenged you again after your next match or Classic run.
