Demos will be provided at certain Japanese gaming stores - RELEASE BUILD

[Crome]

Well, I guess there's 2 things I REALLY want to know that may be known here:

if pyrosphere is playable
Check if there's any hazard
else if Paper Mario stage is playable
Check the series icon.

That's really what I want to know. If both aren't playable, then it might be suspicious, but anyway.

Pyrosphere is wiiu only.

 

[Capybara Gaming]

Possibly the ones from the Japanese e shop picture? Which I find strange, considering luigi was already confirmed to be unlockable, yet they just show him unlocked on the eshop.

When was this confirmed again? Oh right - it wasn't.

I'm curious now. It's still going to be a demo right? Because otherwise the whole roster will get unlocked on the demo in the first day with the number of matches that'd be getting played.

Spoiler

Nopony knows!

 

[Crome]

So many people (including myself) are probably hyped up and pretty nervous at the same time to see the final build. I'll be enjoying the game regardless, but wow...just another sign that the game is really almost here

Looking forward to seeing footage (if allowed) and hearing opinions on the game.

something something let the meta develop something give us a year to find AT

 

[aldelaro5]

Pyrosphere is wiiu only.

Lol, completely forgot.

Well, only the later.

 

[Mario & Sonic Guy]

I doubt that all the characters in the demo will be available right off the bat in the actual game. Mario Kart 8's demo may have had everyone available to use, but you still had to unlock a portion of the characters in the actual game.

On an off-topic note, Hyrule Warriors demo is available at certain retail stores now. That said, back on-topic.

 

[Niala]

Just think: in two days, we'll likely have an official starting roster.

Ohboyohboyohboy.

 

[solitonmedic]

I wish we got a eshop demo already, but then the JP release is just less than 10 days away.

 

[Senario]

I'm honestly interested to see if any gameplay changes have been made.

Probably not.

Agreed. I mean it would be great if things did change. Honestly ninendo has been doing some work. But then there is Sakurai fo it really is up in the air. Ill be checking out what the final build is like this weekend through the power of the internet.

 

[Fuqua]

Damn, so this weekend i will find out if i will play this game for a month, or for a looooooooong time. i am ready.

 

[Crome]

I'm honestly interested to see if any gameplay changes have been made.

Probably not.

I disagree, I think there will be noticeable changes. The e3 build is almost a year old, and was very, very buggy.

 

[JamietheAuraUser]

I disagree, I think there will be noticeable changes. The e3 build is almost a year old, and was very, very buggy.

Yeah, with things like Toon Link's Up Special being escapable mid-attack because its hitstun was too low. And of course the time they got a game freeze. And the time Bowser failed to load after his Final Smash and caused a desync.

 

[Eternal phoenix Fire]

I disagree, I think there will be noticeable changes. The e3 build is almost a year old, and was very, very buggy.

Yeah, but it was pretty much what the games gonna be. Everyone expecting a complete 180 may be disappointed. Then again there could be a simple change that can solve a lot of problems, so we'll see.

 

[Azizibesmashing]

Naw it's gonna be better than the e3
Build. Having tons of faith

 

[Mr. KoopaTurtle]

I disagree, I think there will be noticeable changes. The e3 build is almost a year old, and was very, very buggy.

Well, obviously. I wasn't talking about bugs though.

@ E Eternal phoenix Fire @ Senario I pretty much agree with these guys. I wish I could have faith for the end result, but I'm not very positive right now. Sakurai talked about how he has slowed down the pace but retained the dynamism. It sounds interesting, but I honestly don't think he is going to succeed in his objectives.

 

[Crome]

I'm not expecting it to turn into melee 2.0 in this demo, but it could change a lot. Not necessarily better or worse, but different.

 

[Mechageo]

I just hope we get some decent footage. Maybe I should talk to some of my contacts in Japan.

If a demo really is available in stores it should be easy enough to get decent footage with all of the high end camera phones that people have these days.

 

[SS-bros14]

Sweet! Hope the same type of thing happens in the US!

 

[gamer8]

Can't wait. I'm assuming videos will be posted in this thread? Looking forward to it, and I wonder if any final smashes really did change from the E3 build like some people thought.

 

[MasterOfKnees]

Damn, so this weekend i will find out if i will play this game for a month, or for a looooooooong time. i am ready.

As much as we can learn from this I think that question will only be answered once you actually play the game.

 

[mario123007]

The game is coming to Japan really soon, but can't touch the demo, I'm so jealous.

 

[Aninymouse]

I'm optimistic that the final game will be great.

I'm not optimistic that we will see recordings of this demo. Oftentimes, in Japan, recording is prohibited, and you can get in trouble for breaking the rules. Granted, we don't know if recording will be allowed or not, so we'll have to see.

 

[fanboss2]

So uh... this demo will start in 11hrs right ?

Really hyped for it.

I just want the stage list.

That will be said here right?

 

[Casey_Contra]

I honestly don't expect much in terms of information/news, but I'm always happy to see more impressions - especially if it's of the final build! I feel like it'll be restriced to Smash and Smash Run modes, but if not that would be awesome! We shall see tomorrow I guess...

 

[Egg-Off the Conquerer]

Guess who's gonna play the demo in 11 hours!

 

[Fire Tactician]

Guess who's gonna play the demo in 11 hours!

But seriously, have fun! As a side note, it's exactly a week (okay and minus 3 minutes) from midnight in Tokyo when the game comes out. Hype hype hype hype hype.

 

[aldelaro5]

Guess who's gonna play the demo in 11 hours!

Oh, good!

Just want to know, can you provide the stage list after? Either pics or text is fine, but of course, the former is preferable if you can.

Like, I'm becoming nervous on this list

 

[smashbroskilla]

Hey guise, I flew over to Japan for the weekend. It's Saturday here already and wow am I impressed with the demo. They added wavedashing and L cancelling back into the game. There are a ton of girls dressed as zero suit Samus's alternate costume in shorts which is awesome as well.

 

[Brickbuild101]

Guess who's gonna play the demo in 11 hours!

Tell us everything.

 

[HeavyLobster]

We all know that the instant we see any footage at all Crashboards will strike either because of extreme amounts of excitement from seeing an aerial which may or may not have slightly reduced landing lag, or from people flooding the boards with flame posts calling the game a terrible Brawl clone(or both). Either way, things will get interesting.

I'd love to see the reaction if old melee airdodging was back, of course I wouldn't be able to see it until smashboards comes back up. I just hope the game isn't defensive. All I want. Please.

Plot twist: Air dodges are now selectable via custom moves and you can use whichever you want. Now THAT would be interesting.

You're onto something.

 

[Deleted member 245254]

I will be at the event, 2 hours early no less.

Photography and video recording has actually been strictly prohibited, so it's unlikely I (or many others...) will have footage to show for the build.

I will do my best to share with my words.

They said the same thing about the Smash Fest at Best-Buys over here in the US and that didn't stop anyone. Lets hope :D

Be sure to use plenty of hyperbole, ridiculous speculation, and inaccurate comparisons to previous Smash games. These boards are no place for logical and unbiased analysis, so please provide as much flame bait as possible. Also be sure to create a definitive tier list from your handful of matches that is sure to be 100% accurate and will reveal which character will be the next Meta Knight.

 

[Scourge The Hedgehog]

I'm just curious to see who is the top picked character and who is the least played over there in Japan. Least from the demo.

 

[aliensalmon]

This is exciting! I can't wait!

Then, color me impressed, 'cause you're posting from the future... 'cause you know... it's barely 4am on Japan, and the demo stands are available from 11 onwards.

 

[KingBroly]

I'm not going to be rude here, but if you're going there, pics of you being there to put trust in what you say is appreciated.
