Thanks for the suggestion regarding the types of characters to consider playing with while online, at least for starters. I can say with confidence today that I don't have a main in Ultimate at the moment (I'd place myself in the "somewhat proficient with most, master of none" boat). I'll see...

I'm not sure what it is. I have a really strong internet connection (not the wired connection to the Switch, however - it's all Wifi), and though I can't help but feel there is some minute lag between button presses and what happens on-screen, it seems smooth enough. I definitely don't play...

If the GameStop near me won't have a midnight release, I'll do what I did for Smash 4 and pre-order via Nintendo eShop... which I might still do since I'm in California and I've heard about people over here getting digital "midnight releases" at 9pm the day before. In any event, my wife agreed...

Cloud... to KEFKA. Who then faces off against TERRA. (I'm dreaming big... Final Fantasy VI represent, please!)

First child is on the way... and it's a girl!

In the event one does not have a Facebook account by choice... are there other online spaces where tournaments/gatherings are posted?

I just moved to San Francisco - hopefully there's some folks here that are able to give a new arrival a proper welcome (by that, I mean showing me how West Coast players rock compared to my East Coast origins :smash: )

I dunno... maybe because I'm coming from Brawl/Melee (I never purchased the 3DS version of the game), but I've been consistently winning in Classic at 6.9 with my older character mains and with two of the new ones as well. However, the difficulty does ramp up a LOT beyond 7.0. I do...

It's probably too early to know, but does anyone know if there are any money-based achievements? Like if I have 100,000 coins, I get a trophy or something like that? I've been insanely frugal with my coin spending, thinking about this... Currently have about 70k in the bank.

I finally have a little downtime from Smash (getting ready to watch a movie with my wife), so I wanted to quickly ask if anyone else had their unlock code pushed to them ten minutes before midnight? My mind was totally, utterly BLOWN when I saw the Wii U start downloading the unlock code after...

I was going to get my copy from GameStop, but the store near me announced that they were not having a midnight release... so I cancelled my preorder and purchased the digital download from the Nintendo eShop. It's now sitting on my Wii U, waiting for the unlock code at midnight Friday!

If you have GCN controllers on-hand from being the owner of a Gamecube, I'd shell out the extra money for the adapter at minimum alongside the base game. I'm doing this, which will save me $20 versus getting the Smash bundle for $100, which is a good deal if you don't have a GCN controller...

Life is good. It's been a long, winding path, with lots of challenges that presented themselves over the years. However, I managed to work through all of them, making me the person that I am today. I am gainfully employed, happily married, and have a small but very strong network of friends...

Gummy bears and Utz potato chips (most flavors), though I never have chips and gummies at the same time - it's one or the other. For drinking: water, tea (with cane sugar and a dash of milk), or SanPellegrino.
