As always I'll start by trying out my main from last game (Zelda this time), only to learn that the changes made to her makes her unplayable for me this time around. This starts the search for the next main, which usually ends up with someone totally unexpected.

Unlock every character, play the story a few times if it turns out to be like Melee's Adventure Mode, find out how my Brawl mains Falco, Kirby, and Pikachu have changed, and then start learning my new main: Mega Man.

At the first place I would buy a Wii U at the same time, next I will try to unlock all the characters in Smash Bros. for Wii U, then I will practice each character of the full SSB4 character roaster, look which character fits me best and in the end I'll kick some butt in several matches :smirk:

Pick my favorite starting character, face my least favorite starting character, pick an interesting new place, put items on high and 10 stock. And cry tears of joy. Or if my bros are around I will play the **** out of the game with them and then stay up all night playing the 3ds version.

Well first I'll have to put it into the Wii U...

1) See if Yoshi's any good.
2) If Yoshi isn't good, see if Diddy Kong is still good.
3) If neither are good, play Villager and just catch projectiles all day.

Play through classic 1 player mode as I always do, then do versus matches with characters until I decide which one feels the best.

My new plan is just to try out every character I'm interested in, and then see how many characters I unlock by the first few matches (assuming you can still unlock guys like Ness in 5 matches XD)

I'll probably go to the versus mode with my sister and try out all the new characters! And maybe try to unlock characters through versus matches

Try out Link, realize that, for the 4th game in a row, he's trash, cry for about 20 minutes, then find a real main and invite some people over to play.

Stare at the box-art on my ride home from the mall.

(Before game arrives: Find out what makes the most sense as a way to unlock characters and stages)

Open box, put in Wii U.

If I have a friend who wants to play, play some versus matches.

Otherwise, try out online play against randoms for a few minutes.

Then play through Classic Mode or Story Mode to unlock characters.

A. If Ridley is a character and is on the starting roster: Play as Ridley tons of times.

B. If Ridley is a character but is unlockable: Unlock Ridley. Then proceed plan A.

C. If Ridley isn't a character: Try out my favorite veterans.

I'll go into options and turn off jumping with up on the control stick. So exciting!

Then I'll play some multiplayer matches with all kinds of characters.

Aaand I'll lose track of time and realize I should've eaten lunch a few hours ago. Well, I'll try not to do this one, but it's inevitable.

Play Classic Mode with Mario. It just seems to fit as a way to begin the game.
