Smash Wii U So 1.0.2 update literally just came out

[PKBeam]

And the server is undergoing maintenance.
What?
Is this something big or just fixing a few tiny graphical glitches?

EDIT:

also I didn't find any changes to my replays so probably no character changes.

 

[CyberHyperPhoenix]

Lol, I dunno.


I was just in there was no update...

 

[Katakiri]

Nothing noticeable happened after the install. Online's still down (probably adding tournament mode for online) but Hoo Hah's still in and no DLC in sight.

 

[Spaceman]

Hoping for the complete removable of Diddy Kong from the game.

 

[Lavani]

3DS didn't get an update, so it's likely a tweak to a Wii U exclusive mode.

EDIT: Actually, maybe it fixed the Bowser Jr. teleporting-after-stagespike glitch, since that was Wii U only. Or less likely, gave Lucario Extremespeed hitstun cancelling back (since he has that on 3DS but not Wii U; I'd be hugely surprised though).

Someone should check those.

"crosses fingers for tournament mode"

I would check the Samus Double Death glitch as well. I'd also see if Rival Smash and All-Star still have BS where the computer kills at regular percents on certain moves.

no tournament mode.

i can still play my replays so i guess no gameplay changes?

 

[Puppyfaic]

no tournament mode.

No Miiverse or Mewtwo either. Not sure what this update was, but it was big enough to warrant an entire version number change, and it took a little while to download as well(4 minutes).

 

[Flaxr XIII]

Going by the title, it looks to be 1.0.2. Not even 1.1. This is the most minor that updates get. There's no way Tournament mode would show up in something so small.

 

[Puppyfaic]

I just found a change. More 8-player stages.
Wii Fit Studio, Smashville, Town and City, Lylat, Norfair, Pyrosphere, Luigi's Mansion, Mario Circuit Brawl, Pokemon Stadium 2 are all now available for use in 8-Player Smash.

 

[ATH_]

How does one get the update?

 

[JipC]

Damn it, Hoo-haa still works.

 

[PKBeam]

Attempt to open Smash 4 on your Wii U menu.

Unless America doesn't have this yet?

 

[ZeldaMaster]

HOLY **** if character balance is affected Apex just got waaay more real.

 

[ATH_]

Attempt to open Smash 4 on your Wii U menu.

It just opens like normally. Doesn't prompt for an update.

 

[RamenKing1]

@ ZeldaMaster , PkBeam said that replays still work- meaning there weren't balance changes.

 

[CyberHyperPhoenix]

Really?

Well, I'm updating now actually.


Actually, didn't Sakurai say at some point that he would only do small updates to fix glitches and online stuff after the big balance update?

 

[ATH_]

I have gotten the update to appear. Had to do a connection test first. Hype for small changes. :3

Various problems...Does this mean some ATs may have been stricken? ;;

You could not be any more vague even if you TRIED

 

[PLATINUM7]

So which ones can and can't be played with a full 8 players?

 

[RanserSSF4]

i can comfirm that Perfect Pivotting, dance trotting, and other ATs have not been removed!

 

[JmacAttack]

If replays didn't break, that's unlikely.

Woop woop!

Right, for some reason I overlooked that. Thank you.

 

[Terios the Hedgehog]

I imagine the Pac Ladder may be gone. Maybe some idling changes?

 

[aethermaster]

Were there any stages added for 5 or 6 player Smash? Seems kinda weird that they'd add some for 7-8 but not 5-6 but if its all the same now then w/e

Edit: GAMEXPLAIN 3 HOUR LONG UPDATE VIDEO HYPE

 

[ATH_]

Time to check if they fixed the crashes with the mii customization.

EDIT: No, no they didn't. Sadface.

Gamexplain vid? Is that up already?

I'm so glad that's not just me then.
I had that happen for the first time yesterday and was going to be really upset if my WiiU was dying after having owned it about a month.

 

[CyberHyperPhoenix]

He was being sarcastic.

 

[Metal B]

From Neogaf:

8-Player-SMash Stage changes:

Regular
Mario Circuit - lacks shyguys
Luigi's Mansion - Can't be destroyed
Pyrosphere - lacks ridley
Norfair - no lava at all
Lylat Cruise - no ships flying around
Pokémon Stadium 2 - lacks stage transitions
Town and City - All background characters removed
Smashville - All background characters removed (cept petey, he stayed at a slow framerate)
Studio Wii Fit - no mirror background

8-Player-Smash is now the Hazard-Off-Button!

Also Replays still work, so there are no Balance-Changes.

Wait. Does this work if you go into 8p and use those stages with 2 characters? Testing right away!

EDIT: Alas, no. This would've been so hype.

Oh. The Kappa face threw me off.

 

[Metal B]

Should be possible, i think. So we got a lot more legal stages.

 

[ATH_]

Smashville characters are still there. Going to see if PS2 changes.

EDIT: As expected, it is not our magic hazards off button ;-; PS2 still changes forms with just 2p

 

[fromundaman]

Pyrosphere without Ridley is a dream come true!

EDIT:

This is debunked? Noooooo! Why must you play with my emotions like this!

 

[MachoCheeze]

Didn't work with the Yellow Devil. :/
