Who's going online AT or SOON AFTER midnight?

[Hayzie]

I'm gonna check out a few modes. Then I'll hop online. Hopefully my friends are on, too, that'd make it easier. If not, then it's For Glory time. I may or may not unlock a character or two first.

 

[RespawningJesus]

Gotta wait until after work before I can pick up my copy. But unlock important game stuff such as characters/stages first, then online. Honestly, I am not gonna bother playing against randoms. Against people I know here on the boards, yes.

 

[Hayzie]

Word, player

 

[Hartenberg]

It's customary for me to unlock everything first before I go online. Rest assured, a Princess Falcon named JHart will be roaming For Glory very soon after release though.

 

[Flaxr XIII]

Eh, I'll wait a bit before I hit online. Mostly because I'm having friends over but there may be server overloads I'm the beginning.

 

[Mysteltainn]

I'll unlock the whole roster first, and then check out the modes before doing anything online. I may even wait a week or two for the kinks / glitches and D/C issues to be fixed (every game has them, even MK8 did) before heading on. If I see positive feedback, I may head on sooner, but we'll see. I get butterflies when I think that we were warned ahead of time to use the adaptor thing... I just hope it isn't as bad as Brawl's online.

Nah. I'm probably going to wait a day or two. I doubt the online will be amazing even at its best, considering the 3DS version's, but playing a new multiplayer game online immediately after release is just asking to have a terrible time.

 

[LordVacation]

Nope! </3
My Wi-Fi is shot *perfect timing, right?* so my first day or so will be strictly offline... unless I can't help myself and need to go to someone else's place

I would imagine that the online would be similar to the 3DS version: great for 1v1, but terrible for anything beyond that. Granted, the Ethernet adapter may ease some of the pain from more than 2 players, but the difference it will make is unknown. But who knows though? So long as you are playing with a local friend for online team battles, and your opponent is doing the same, the connection may be better for 4 players in that case.

Aside from extreme scrubs at first, it's actually a pretty good time. When you come across a new player as yourself who's a skiller gamer, it's fun going through it together learning the ropes. There will be many of the 3ds players who already know their mains well enough to take online to go against people just like them.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

I cant. I have a test in the morning for math. I need my sleep. Ill probaly go on it too see if it works for one match then I would leave. But if I can go online on Mario Kart without a problem then I am fine.

I guess what I was trying to say is that I don't trust Nintendo (or any company mind you) to have the online system up and running on day 1 in a way that makes it not infuriating to try and play.

Yeah I hear you. I will be there to try it, though
