What is everyone doing while you are waiting for Smash to come out?

[mygamecube]

Trying to complete Xenoblade Chronicles before Smash 4 releases in Japan.

There may not be any spoilers in Smash 4 for Xenoblade at all, but better safe than sorry.

 

[ChikoLad]

-Spending way more time here than I am OK with.
-Waiting on college to properly start (I was supposed to start this week but we were given today and tomorrow off due to unexpected events)
-Making stupid stuff in Photoshop.
-Procrastinating on playing Lightning Returns, Super Princess Peach, Ace Attorney 5, and the DLC in PLvsAA....in favour of playing Mario Kart 8 and Super Mario 3D World. Kinda getting sick of the former though. Started a Rosalina playthrough in the latter in which I collect every possible Star and Stamp without power-ups (yeah I play these games because of Rosalina hype).
-Procrastinating my Sonic Lost World commentary since nobody seems interested in the first part.
-Procrastinating on the All-Purpose Smash Run topic, my Super Smash World topic, and my Rosalina FAQ topic (I am so sorry guys, I really have no justified excuse for these. I guess I've been feeling burned out for the past while).
-Constantly contemplating whether or not I need an avatar change.
-Waiting for Hyrule Warriors along with Smash.

 

[Chocobo Link]

1. School
2. Trying to find a cheap copy of Xenoblade Chronicles (no luck so far)
3. Playing Brawl like mad (got a friend into it and finally started playing with another. They're gonna be tough competition in Smash 4)
4. Lurking around Smashboards more than usual (not complaining)
5. Might go and complete Final Fantasy VII (for the 10th time) which I have been procrastinating
6. Checking the website for updates everyday

 

[Captain Norris]

I have no clue. I won't be on Smashboards after this livestream Friday (I don't know if I will even watch the whole thing depending on how spoilerish it gets). I have school to go to, and Mario Kart 8 has been calling my name once again.I will probably replay Dragon Quest IX (although I won't do a new game because I won't be able to get the dlc). other than that, I do not know.

 

[FalconBrofist]

play Tekken

 

[Ryuutakeshi]

Working mostly, but I am trying to finish the Ace Attorney series.

 

[laces]

Fantasizing about playing it.

 

[L9999]

School, friggin homework, Project M, Smashboards, watching the pic of the day to be dissapointed, Triple Deluxe, and drawing comics. Nothing special really.

 

[praline]

Your mother.

Just working. Working all the damn time helps get to the day faster.

 

[Null001]

I have been focused on school, but i am still impatiently waiting for the release of the game. I also recently started playing project m, and plan on finally finishing bravely default to hold me over until Oct 3rd.

 

[Jae]

Trying to finish Xenoblade and Uprising before the grand release of Smash Bros.

 

[Foosedogg]

School, think about Smash and basically watch Smash battles in my mind. Get home: Watch Smash videos (news, competitive), play Brawl and/or PM. Then Smashboards. I'm here now, aren't I?

 

[Turokman5896]

School. Wishing tekken 7 was out. Soon to be playing destiny. Checking smash news every minute. And last and certainly least, actual homework. procrastination all day.

 

[KaBlamJamDan]

 

[Beatness]

Exactly. Keeping myself busy with daily life so that these weeks will pass faster. >.<

 

[Hippopotasauce]

Pac-Man Championship Edition DX and Sonic 3&K and Mario Kart 8

 

[Yokta]

I will probably spend most of my time watching old episodes from a few of my favorite web series'. Maybe I'll replay GTA5, if I can get the Xbox to work.
The newest season of Big Brother Australia started yesterday, so I'll probably watch that too, although I don't really know why I want to.

 

[Smallgenie549]

I'm playing through Fire Emblem Awakening for the fourth time in honor of Robin. Hoping to pick up Kid Icarus Uprising for the Smash Sale on Thursday. Please tell me that game will be on sale in America.

 

[Donkey_Inferno]

Luckily my fall semester at college just started so I have that to make most of the days go by quicker. And the rest is either hanging with my girlfriend or searching up smash 4 news nonstop..... Or both.....

Lmao thank god she loves smash too.

 

[Raph_the_Great]

Uni's started back for me. so I don't have much time for smash other than checking miiverse every now and then.

but Friday I'm selling my day out to Nintendo. and when the 3DS version comes out I don't know how in the world I'm gonna balance Uni and Smash.

Like Smash bros being portable could be one of the best and worst to happen in my life. :D

 

[FalconSoup]

Well, I've been working on studies, music, trying to finish my backlog of video games at midnight, and other things. You'd be surprised how much you can forget about the game when you keep yourself busy. Heck, I only realized two days ago that the Japanese release wasn't very far away.

 

[XaoRu]

I can't take the hype anymore! I force myself to go to sleep as soon as I come back from work to make the time fly faster!

 

[VelocityHill]

Finishing Fire Emblem: Awakening.

 

[Fire Tactician]

I just got Punch Out on my 3DS to test out my brand new debit card before I get points from the eShop with it for Smash...

Interesting... the Smash Bros Sale site separates Rosalina from the other Mario reps... hmm...

[Moldy Clay]

My days are pretty much:
- Sleep
- Eat cereal.
- Forums/Twitter/wish I was doing something more interesting but unable to bring myself to
- Girlfriend gets off of work. Either comes here or we go to her house.
- Dinner.
- If at my house: anime, I play a game on Wii/U or PS2, then sleep, wake up, eat/forum/Game Grumps/Markiplier, sleep
- If at gf's: watch her play a game/Wii Fit U, play 3DS while watching The Office or Detective Conan, go home, eat/forum/GG/M, sleep
- Repeat

Throw in "procrastinate filling out job application" in there at any point.

That is literally every day.

As for games, I played through, started playing or am halfway through: all the Fatal Frame games, Kirby's Triple Deluxe, DuckTales, Cold Fear, Paper Mario Sticker Star, BlazBlue Clone Phantasma, Spirit Camera, Ocarina of Time 3D's Master Quest, Bravely Default, Pokemon X's Pokedex, Tomodachi Life, Metroid Prime 2, Silent Hill 0rigins, Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga and Xenoblade Chronicles. Maybe even more. But this has been my last month or so.

I'll be playing through Fire Emblem Awakening, Hyrule Warriors and hopefully more things leading into the US release.

 

[ShyKChan]

I need more stuff to do while waiting for sm4sh. My days usually consist of:

• Playing 3DS games (Bravely Default, AC:NL, Rune Factory 4)
• Playing some sort of fighting game (Skullgirls, Melee, or Brawl)
• Anime (Toradora! currently has my attention )
• Drawing Tales of characters
• Thinking about buying a Wii U
• Scouring the net for any sort of new sm4sh info
• Crying myself to sleep because no Japanese 3DS for me

Yup. That's about it!

 

[ToothiestAura]

I'll probably just be crying.

 

[elliotnz]

10 characters

 

[Thor]

Praying really hard that parts of the leak are fake (don't want duck hunt dog at all, but want ICs/Snake [though the latter is definitely unlikely], though I want Ness, Falco, and Jiggs) and hoping to any divine powers that be that Ridley, K Rool, and that mutt didn't get in Smash 4.

Also was watching FOW's stream while he played the Smash 4 demo that was on the Japanese e-store.

Will have class tomorrow and watch the new character release/whatever it is after Frisbee practice.

Saturday there's a Brawl tournament I'm going to. Not sure how I'll fill in Thursday/Friday though.

 

[VivaReverie]

Playing Melee, playing Brawl, playing Project M, and 90% of my internetting being looking up Smash 4 stuff.
I haven't been this invested in Smash in a loooong time, Smash 4 hype is through the roof

 

[Flaxr XIII]

Looking at my backlog of games and saying to myself "Yo, I should probably get this cleaned up before Smash Bros arrives." but then just coming back to SmashBoards to see if anything else leaks.
Also I just started a new job so AHAHAHAHAHA that backlog is never getting done.
Sorry Darksiders,
Twilight Princess,
Metroid Prime 3,
Assassin's Creed Brotherhood,
Borderlands 2,
Bioshock Hard Mode Run,
and Playstation All Stars.
........ actually PS All Stars can go piss off.

 

[Malcolm Belmont]

Manly School and playing Pokemon Crystal since i have never played that game before

 

[Oatmeal.]

I'm playing Pikmin 2. Every time I beat it, I play again and try to cut my number of days spent in half. Real time killer.

 

[Gryffin]

Lol, playing Melee. Practicing my Falcon game.

Oh, and Smite.

 

[Igneous42]

Well outside of obvious time spent on responsibilities like work and school I've been preparing for Smash 4 in a few ways.

-First and most relevant is I've been playing through the single player modes in the other Smash games one character/game a day as a sort of countdown. It's been pretty fun, I did it mostly randomly by assigning numbers to each character and then just using a random number generator to decide who to play for that day. It's on a per game basis as well, meaning there was a Mario64 day, a Mario Melee Day and a Mario Brawl day. I know it's kind nerdy but it's been a fun way to countdown to Smash 4.

-Also trying to finish up a few games before Smash 4. Dunno why I waited till less than a month before release of Smash 4 to buy it but just got started on Kid Icarus Uprising. I also keep trying to finally get back into Super Mario 3D world and try to beat that before Smash 4.

 

[Octillus]

Count me among those playing Xenoblade, but also Fire Emblem Awakening.

 

[HdTyvek]

Just got my hands on Xenoblade Chronicles, gonna finish that and watch smash 4 streams and cry myself to sleep cause i cant play it

 

[KingBroly]

Starting here: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=129419747&postcount=4209

And realizing that Leaks are about to happen, so it's time to scour the internet for leaks

 

[Kain6th]

Watching feeds of people playing the Japanese demo and refreshing smash boards like a mad man hoping to see some leak happen!

 

[kaliskonig]

Trying to reverse the accidental indoctrination into the cult of Smash I have put my 10 month old in. No lie, she cries when ever I stop playing the Smash 4 theme. My fault for keeping it on insanely long loops. I am seriously considering to mute my game whenever a variation of that theme plays now lol.
