Assuming you are meaning in the game itself, I will be either a) playing with computers as Bowser b) play a round of Smash Run or the most likely c) play against my two Brothers (They are getting the game also)

Enshrine it and never play it. Super Smash Bros. 4 will be a trophy that has trophies inside of it. :p

Seriously, what do you think everyone is gonna do? Return it? Stomp it into the ground? Use it to create a revolutionary renewable fuel source? Feed it to a goat? Read it? Dip it in liquid nitrogen? :smash: it?

I won't be able to do a whole lot at first. My girlfriend and I both preordered it near where she works, so she'll just pick up our games as she leaves work or during her lunch, then she's picking me up and we have to go off to a rehearsal dinner followed by a wedding the next day. So I'll have to try playing in the car. Or, I will have to wait until we get somewhere and immediately start being rude by playing it during wedding food.

Having said that, barring the obvious (opening, putting it in, watching cutscene, blahblah):
- Playing through Classic Mode as Link first. It's what I do with EVERY SSB game.
- Customize my Mii Fighter.
- Play test all of the newcomers, starting with Shulk, in Versus mode (either against CPU or my gf).
- Play test all of my favorites from Brawl, starting with Luigi.
- Play test everyone else, starting with Pit & Bowser, to see if I like them more now than I did in Brawl/Melee.

If I unlock anyone during this process, I will halt whatever I was doing and play them first.

My plan is to unlock Ganondorf as soon as possible, then let things happen naturally. I don't actually want to know how to unlock anyone (except Ganondorf) so there is still an element of surprise.

After I've played everyone (and hopefully unlocked Ganondorf), I am going to play Smash Run. Preferably with my female, but whatever happens happens.

Then I will wind up just testing everything else, like the bonus modes. Home-Run Contest, Target Blast, Multi-Man Smash, Trophy Rush, that top spinning thing, etc. And then back to Classic Mode as whatever characters I really liked from testing them.

I'll see if my friend is available to try some online games with him, or just play random online (both for fun & glory).

Then I will focus on trying to unlock whoever is left, unlocking whatever else there is, and playing through everything as everyone.

I'm saving All-Star Mode for when I actually unlock everyone. Unless I actually have to play to unlock someone (like Duck Hunt).

My plan of attack is to play as Mario until I unlock Luigi and play as Luigi until I unlock Captain Falcon.

Then I'll run through classic with the Falcon.

Then vs. until the end of time.

I'm taking off work for this.

Turn it on obviously. :)

1. Look up how to unlock everyone, save to my computer.
2. Watch the opening scene if any, then go straight to a 3-stock match as Villager against Mario. Then try out all the other starter newcomers and then vets, as I continue trying to unlock characters.

Play a few CPU matches with my brawl mains to see how them feel and if I'll have to change them or not, then on by one, learn a character's moevset, and play classic mode, and repeat.

First thing I plan to do?

I'll do several runs of Classic Mode with a random character each time. It will be fun to experience each new moveset, and if earlier games are any indication, doing this will probably unlock Jigglypuff in the process.

1. Play Smash run with each of my favorite starter characters: Marth, Charizard, and Greninja
2. Play Classic Mode with every character in the order they appear in the roster, and then with any characters unlocked at that point.
3. Play Classic on 9.0 difficulty with whatever character turns out to be my new favorite.
4. Look up how to unlock the rest of the characters and do that.
5. Play All Star mode with every character.
6. BATTLE ONLINE

Start it up and jump straight into a VS game just so I can finally play, probably using Pit if he's unlocked from the start. Then I'll go into classic and play with my friends who I know are getting it too =)

I'll do a couple of VS. matches just to see what the new physics are like and try out Luigi, Pit, Shulk, and Robin. Then, I'll do Classic Mode to see what it's like now. Finally, I will be looking up how to unlock every character.

Go into training mode with Grenina, then play some other single player modes with him, then play multiplayer with my brother when he gets off of school.

Go straight into training mode and play a lot of Mega Man until I get use to the game. If Mega Man isn't a starter ill try to unlock him. #1 Priority :3

If Sonic is a Starter this time around: Immediately going to training mode to get the feel for the game while trying my #1 Main at the same time

If Sonic is unlockable again: Play as Mario and/or Pikachu in Training mode before setting off on immediately unlocking Sonic ASAP

Well once I leave the Best Buy I'll have to go visit Mom and wait for my brother to get home from school. That'll be the roughest 4 hours ever. Once he gets home, I'll give him his copy and we'll play Smash Run. His favorite game is Kirby Air Ride and it is his birthday, after all.

First thing I'm gonna do is do classic mode with Robin. Then I'll go straight to Vs mode and spam 1 stock matchs until I've unlocked every character, once that's done I'm going to training mode to learn the basics of the characters I wanna play (Robin, Ness, Shulk, & Little Mac.) then when I feel like I'm ready I'm gonna start spamming For glory matches!

Like every smash I will start with a run through classic with Mario even if Megaman is a starter. Then I will go do some smash runs and hop on wifi in fun mode to try the new items and stages I will never see.

Gonna check out the moves of every starting character and get used to playing smash without a GameCube controller. Then I'll probably try the obvious things to unlock as many new characters as fast as possible.

First thing: I'm going to be bringing a list of how to unlock every character with me to the midnight release, and waste no time getting to it, and after unlocking every character, unless this is a way to unlock characters anyways, play an unhealthy amount of Smash Run. I love Smash Run... THANK YOU SMASH-FEST!

If Greninja is unlocked from the beginning, I will play him. If not, I will go straight to Classic Mode with Link :)

Try out some of the new characters (namely Shulk, Palutena, and Robin), and then make some Mii Fighters.

1. Regular Smash matches in the following order (against Lv. 5 CPUs): Robin -> Pit -> Charizard -> Palutena -> Rosalina and Luma -> Shulk

2. Classic Mode as Marth (to see if it unlocks Lucina)

3a. If 2. works, play Classic Mode as Pit, then Mario.

3b. If 2. doesn't work, play Smash Run as Lucario.

Look at the screen title for like 4 hours.... The amount of things to do in smash is so vast I would just lose myself at the moment.

I've changed my mind! With the starting roster, I will recreate the reveal trailers! The first being :4shulk: vs. :4bowser: (with one stock) vs. :4link: &:4marth: (in a team) It will be the best!

Start up VS Mode and probably play as Kirby. And just play VS Mode for days...
Though I'll probably give Smash Run a try eventually, I looovveedd City Trial in Kirby Air Ride.

I'll buy the game together with some friends, so we'll try some multiplayer matches and also try out the new modes.
