Change controls, fight a random level 9, forgets control setup, fails hard....
Then I proceed to go unlock everything.

Made my Mii and immediately killed myself because apparently all of the Mii's moves put them in helpless states plowed through 1P/smash runs for new items.

Turned up the outlines, turned off tap jump, and see what was in the Wii U Tab.

Then I did classic with Mii.

Started a game with Pikachu on FD, except I forgot to switch it to stocks so I quit. Then it randomly put me on the Samus stage so I quit again, then I finally got to play.

Went to the settings to turn tap jump off, and then spent the next hour unlocking all the characters by playing Verus mode against level 1 CPU, and then I spent the next hour and a half completing the first set of challenges, which allowed me to unlock the final stages that I needed for all of them.

I picked Rosalina in her red alt and went straight into Classic Mode to go get my beloved Falco.

Classic Mode with Mario. Also trying to get enough gold to see how the difficulty scale monster looks like at max. Look insane at "Nothing Harder!".

Turned Tap Jump off and started playing Vs. against CPUs to unlock characters and stages. First character I chose was Pac-Man.

Amelia won't let me say
Maybe I'm weird, but I just scoured the menus. There's a lot of stuff to just look at before even starting.

But the first game mode I played was Classic mode. With Mario, as it should be.

Turned tap jump off, realized I hated it after doing classic with my sword mii, and turned it back on. Y'all are crazy turning it off.

See how a Shulk CPU got lost in his own stage during classic mode.

I played as Falcon before realizing that I suck with Falcon. Then I went to online to beat a few Little Mac/Greninja/Sheik/Lucario/ZSS players with Mega Man, who I really don't see as a bottom-tier character. Didn't face Bowser, Rosalina, or Duck Hunt Dog yet, but I'm willing to destroy them as well for being too mainstream with a character they're probably not even good with.

Stared at the screen wondering where the opening video was, FINALLY turned off tap jump, then tried out my new favourite character (so far) Toon Link.

Went into the vault, checked if my coins from the demo carried over (they didn't) and listened to all those epic remixes in the sound test menu. What else?

Jumped straight into training mode (Lumoise City) to try out m current mains: :4greninja::4robinm::4sonic: and also:4littlemac: :4yoshi::4pacman:, later unlocked :4lucina: too. Also set up streetpass and did some For Glory matches online, lost the first few times but now I currently have a win rate of 65%.



Next order of business, try my skills at a local club today and a tournament tomorrow, will be using Greninja and Sonic in it.
