Bowser being unlockable screws up my tradition of a Mario v Bowser match on Battlefield being the first thing I do in every Smash game since Melee, so I think I'll just start with a Classic Mode run with Mario instead. (Pretty sure that was the first thing I did in Smash 64) I'm a creature of habit, it seems.
I'll probably unlock everyone through Classic Mode, tbh.

I'll work on unlocking everyone Thursday night/Friday morning. But if I don't unlock Richter in the first hour I'm trading it in.
a friend sent me a picture of his best buy shipment today and it filled me with grief.
I have some Mii Fighter questions. Do we have confirmation that the default Mii Fighters are included in the game as they were in the demo, or do you still have to make them yourself if you want them? Also, do we know if Mii Fighters can be selected via the Random select this time around? And are there any modes in which Mii Fighters can't be used?
1. No, you have to make a Mii, there aren't any defaults like in the demo
2. As far as I know, they do not show up in random
3. Miis can't be used in Smashdown or Classic modes. Everything else is fine (including online).
I'd honestly rather they kill it off than the half-cocked affair it was in SSBB/U. So frustratingly limiting to the point you couldn't really do anything remarkable.
I'd definitely be down for a £10-15 Stage Builder Expansion DLC that gave you more freedom, but at the end of the day it'll be a long time before we're bored of all these stages.
I'm not really sure. I'm not interested in gaming the system, anyway.
I'm actually curious about the overall consensus as well because I personally dislike it. I think it's a good tool for rewatching 1 on 1 matches but anything else I'm immediately going into the options and turning it off. I find it distracting and unnecessary. Especially once everyone already has a feel for the the bounding boxes.
Helpful for spectators ("ooooh one more inch!"), not really for players. I'll have it turned off. It'll be interesting what tournaments will do.
1. Damn...
2. ...it...
3. ... =(
I mean, I guess it's better than how Mii Fighters were treated in Smash for 3DS / Wii U, at least.
"For a game that prides itself on being the Ultimate game, this doesn't really feel Ultimate"
Yea, after it looked like Miis were finally being treated decently, they go and botch the landing

Either way. Preloaded and fucking ready!

Went with Nintendo UK store, it says they are dispatching it on the 5th so hopefully it arrives on time.
I think they were more saying that Best Buy got its shipment stock in. Best Buy isn't breaking street date.
How do you do the circles that don't have any arrow point to them ? WoL ?
In my case, a friend works there and opened a case just to torture me.
How many copies are in the wild?
If I went to a random game store that isn't like Gamestop or something would they sell it to me?

You'll still make progress towards earning them, but you will need to fight in the offline versus mode to start their challenger approaching fights and unlock them. The servers will probably be overloaded throughout this first weekend anyway so you'll probably be able to get most of them before they're functional.
I was asking myself this for weeks. Went digital and feel kinda dirty tbh. But at least I'll be playing at Friday 12AM on the dot
I work at an e-commerce solutions company in the island of Florianópolis, Brazil. We're having a launch party for Smash this Friday starting at 7pm. There'll be a bunch of people that work here, their significant others and even former employees, a big TV, foods and drinks and a lot of controllers. Everyone here is pretty excited for Friday night.
I'm hoping that smash goes better than my persona 3/5 dancing order.
I got the shipment notice last night, that it would be here today.
got the notice from UPS for the same thing.
and then it didn't show up lol.
by the tracking number best buy still hasn't handed them the game >.<:
since mail is closed for the most part tomorrow that means that persona won't show up until thursday which is not good since that only gives my wife one night to play it before I claim the TV for smash (I'm not playing in handheld mode :P)
Absolutely incredible OT guys. I will be genuinely surprised if this doesn't end up my game of the year.
I agree, this wouldn't be surprising to me. Especially if reviewers go into World of Light expecting it to be a full-fledged story mode and are disappointed with what it actually is.
That said, reviews seemingly completely don't matter for this game. For almost all games, even ones that are expected to be similar to their predecessors, I always see people in the lead up to release date speculating about what the reviews will say and throwing out predictions for the Metacritic score.
I'm not seeing any of that for Ultimate. No one cares.
"Overall, the most "ultimate" factor in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is how disappointing it is."
