i don't think that even a question for anyone, the 3ds version is nice but the Wii U is the real version

Best newcomers in my opinion are pacman rosalina Robin and that chick from kid icarus. They're all quick and powerful. Bowser is also a huge improvement it's almost a bit ridiculous the power he has. So far worst character for competitive play seems like villager. A lot of his moves are so close range and barely provide the power to justify it

Also holy shit the online blows brawl out of the water

Thank god Nintendo actually is doing online better

Luigi is a beast.

Wii U release date confirmed: November 21 in North America

The rest of the world gets it two weeks later on December 5 (Europe) and December 6 (Japan, Australia)

The North American release date is the exact same day as the release date of Pokemon OR/AS. Because of this, I might not even play Smash U on day one even though I'll pick them up together.

One more thing I missed earlier was an Amiibo announcement

We already knew that 12 characters would get Amiibo release alongside Smash U: all 8 of SSB64's default-unlocked characters, WFT, Peach, Marth, and Villager

Today the second Amiibo wave is confirmed to release in December: Diddy, Zelda, Luigi, Captain Falcon, Pit, Little Mac

I'm pretty sure we knew this already, but Nintendo said the 3DS version will get an Amiibo update later. The New 3DS and NFC adapter for old 3DS models both release in 2015 in US.

In not-Smash-related news, Captain Toad's game is releasing here on December 5, the same day the rest of the world gets Smash U. It's the second game that will support Amiibo, although we have no idea how it uses them yet.

now you are always guaranteed to grab the ledge and will displace whoever grabbed it first

Makes edge guarding a lot harder. Also significantly improved done characters recovery like lucario

[Hiro]

what are "done characters"
