Hello Smash Community.
I bet since I am a rather new to the Smash 4 party, people have already discussed this issue. But in case they have not... I'd better warn everyone along with asking my silly question.
Today, when I started Smash4, it gave me an error (160-0105) and told me there was something wrong with my USB device where all my data is on. You can believe me, I put quite some time into this game. Losing the "work" of plenty of relaxed evenings seemed quite frustrating, so I decided to try anything to recover the data.
Copying it to the Wii U did not work, part by part transfer is impossible.
So I stumbled upon this trick: All you have to do is create a new user in the Wii U menu: He can start Smash with all your playing data intact. However, he also won't be able to copy or transfer the Smash4 data.
The reason why this is so is that the primary account has the game data corrupted. Your personal, mii-connected game data is broken due to some stupid error that can really appear anytime.
So in order to be able to copy the game successfully, you'd have to delete your corrupt game data.
So my question is:
Are my in-game achievments tied to my primary, corrupted data-account or ist it tied to the general, shared data file?
It really does not seem so, since my new character could also access the data, but I want to make sure before I delete it and have to do all those challenges again...
