but Chrom is right there, with several differences and that was the one everyone was For Sure added super super late. Daisy & Richter barely have differences, Dark Samus arguably has more, but we're sure they were one of the first with a bullet?

Someone on Reddit posted their speculation on how Squad Strike works, and I think it's spot on:

I think Refill Stock/Tag Team is what Sakurai alluded to as like Judo matches. Two characters fight (Mario V Link), winning side gets a point, both are done. Then two different characters fight (Samus v Luigi, aka refill stock). Best of series. This mode seems to match JC's description from the Nintendo Power Podcast:

It's one full battle, and you can do first-to-threes, first-to-twos, you know.

Elimination/Scroll Stock is what Sakurai's column was translated to read as "winner stays." So if Mario wins the Round 1 match against Link, he will go on to face Luigi. Theoretically he could sweep the whole team (eliminating characters on the other side, the stock of characters will be 'scrolled' through).
So yeah. I don't think it's going to be what we want it to be.

A little bummed out after finding out that once again you can only 2v2 online via same console. Why oh why can't they ever change that?

I'm perfectly willing to believe it doesn't work how we want it to, basically being a weird version of rotation I guess, but also JUST SHOW IT
JUST SHOW HOW IT WORKS, WITH ACTUAL GAMEPLAY FOOTAGE

This should not require several explanations by employees and sakurai and interpretations on those explanations!

The fact that we have to guess what it is makes me think it won't be what people want. Because what we want it to be would actulaly make for cool footage to show in a trailer. What we think it likely is would be less cool to show in a trailer.

I'm preparing for the worst, but jc literally tweeted during e3 that it's like marvel and dbfz without tagging. It'd be silly to make such a call if it's ... anything else now.

It is incredibly weird that we've never seen any footage of it by now. It's the only thing of everything we haven't seen yet.

On the assumption Squad Strike works like the way we don't want it to, I really wonder why they didn't make a mode like that.

The fact it's locked away in Smash Tour, of all things, is such a bummer.
Limit it to 3 or 4 if it gets too messy to place counters on all the characters.

The more I think about it, the more that Steve would probably end up having a really weird moveset that I would likely end up using if he ends up getting in. I'm going to main the minecraft character in the near future and the thought terrifies me.

Not so fast though

I'm talking with TheDinoMan about this and apparently this Android person is a troll and is trying to get him banned with what seems to be fake PMs. I know TheDinoMan from the discord server and he does NOT talk like that.

He tweeted during whatever presentation showed off squad strike

Wait, was squad strike how we'd like it in smash 4 as a smas tour gimmick? It'd make sense to transfer that part over then.
Yeah we want it to be that, but the way it's been explained has left room for doubt

Yeah, Android 17 is just an annoying troll I've known for awhile on Discord. He's always constantly doing stupid shit like raiding random Discord groups and mooning the camera during video calls (really).

Not sure if this was known before. But this smells to me like the lobby style of monster hunter on switch.

Where you can make a lobby, and anyone can find it and join in. Or you can add a password (says No password), and only those that know it can join, or just friends.

This is pretty darn cool if it works as intended!!! We could make Era rooms without having to worry about adding each other, we can spectate, join at any time, wait in line etc

Here hoping it works as such!

PS: What is not yet clear, if voice chat here with randoms is possible, or if it is just with friends. I will likely still leverage Discord, because not only does it offer voice chat, but text chat as well. But still, being able to make these rooms is pretty sweet

Definitely, but it's reassuring to know that they've actually created that 'mode' before
like all someone has to do is compare it to Smash Tour. Just "oh yeah it's like that exactly, you pikc your 3 or 5 characters, and then duke it out" or "oh, it's not like that, it's like [whatever]"

i mean all someone actually has to do is provide a screenshot of the battle. just a single screen will tell us everything we need to know.


Speaking of, I noticed that the mock up they did for SmashDown (another mode we've not seen in motion, somehow, but they made a new mock up for it?) was updated with the Isabelle, Ken & Incineroar but still does not have the Miis. I was hoping that was just a bit of weirdness for the 8.8 direct but no. Miis are usable everywhere...except Classic & Smash Down....??

Friend lobbies would be a pretty big deal. I'm not even interested in online play and that's a huge QOL boon.

Man this is going to be so much better than what ever we had to deal with before!

Spectating will be really nice as well to see how others handle players that are near unbeatable for me like that blasted Shamrock.

Yes. Interestingly enough? They even follow PerryMerrillGamer (or rather both follow each other). Remember that account name? It's the one that claimed twitter harassment from TeamFake. Very similar patterns and behavior here.
Oh, so they're the same guy. That guy really is pathetic. He's banned now, so good riddance.

That's so weird and creepy.
I'll admit, Android 17 did something very weird and creepy, but years ago I was on the receiving end of a truly insane guy's harassment on another forum and he wasn't banned until he went a total rampage mass-spamming an old photo of myself he tried to embarrassingly photoshop in topics throughout the main board. It was fucking bizarre.

I'm really glad that the mods and admins here were quick to act once Android's antics were clear.
