I don't think the game is nearly as flawed as some seem to think. I actually think this game is incredibly solid. I think @HeroMystic is right and that the game has a nice balance of offense and defense. I think the only thing that has really bothered me is that people can air/spot dodge...

The thing with these tier list that I don't like is the fact that people keep making so many splits in categor (S, A, B, C, D, E, F... etc). I think that their are less tiers due to the fact that the game is pretty solid balance wise. As mentioned by AvariceX, The Come Up tournament is beginning...

I'm starting to think we should wait to test on the Wii U. I mean what if it takes input from the analog stick and the c stick and we are only seeing part of the equation?

I read someone say that this morning as well, but I haven't seen anyone properly test it. I've got to say, if this is true it is a change that I didn't expect. Edit: Vectoring is gone, people are currently working on testing whether it is really the old DI that is back or if there are differences.

From another thread (link) Ike : -Fair is significantly faster -Looks like it can autocancel as well -His Nair comes a bit quicker -Jab looks fixed so all 3 attacks connect properly -Ending lag on his Ftilt and Dtilt reduced -Back air seems faster but I'm not sure at all -Back air's damages...

What exactly is a "sour-spot"?

I think a lot of this actually depends on how the game develops, but these are great points to keep in mind. For example, lets say that this game has match-ups that have stronger counters than in past games, which make the game a little more like a advanced version of rock paper scissors. This...

So I had this issue today as well. Out of all the places I checked, BestBuy was still taking orders online. I'm a little concerned on the reliability (have had them take an order to later say they didn't have it at pickup time) but I'm hopeful. The only real alternative is to check daily, its...

Speed is in no way mandatory, but it is one of the reasons that makes Melee exciting. However, plenty successful games and sports can enjoy a much slower pace and have success. I think the issue here is for people that love a fast pace. In that regard, you may be letdown some. I personally love...

This is how I see Sakurai's direction for Smash 4 as well. He doesn't wan't it where someone has to spend hours practicing mechanics. However, he wants character depth, so that the game has real complexity to it. This way the player who gets outplayed doesn't see it as some cliff that they lost...

Before I even knew about competitive matches it was very common in our house and with friends to play 1v1 or with multiple people FFA with no items on. We would also select items to low with only specific items in, ones that we felt were more reasonable. I think it was only in Smash 64 were we...

Sorry, I meant 4 player FFA

I hope that over time they may let battlefield maps into For Glory as well. Ideally the ability to choose only FD, only Battlefield, or either. Regardless, I'm optimistic, they said they were open to patching the game in the future.

I'm not understanding all of the controversy about this. However I do have a questions, do we know if you can choose between 1v1 and 4v4 in For Glory mode? Edit: Meant 4 player FFA, I wouldn't mind 2v2 either though.

I'm waiting to see if I can find the best preorder deal. If I had BestBuy GCU I'd do that, but I don't. Currently Gamestop seems to be the best. To clarify, I plan on just getting the Smash Bros U bundle with the adapter and controller.
