I wouldn't mind getting in on the Smash action, but no need to waste a code on me if someone else more important to you needs them.

[Fxeni]

I wouldn't object to one, if any of you are willing to pass one my way.

[Sakura Leic]

Let me ask if Quickie wants one.

[Phi]

Everyone who's interested deserves one. If Clefant's willing to share, then perhaps everyone can get one.

Edit: yeah, ask quickie

[Police Girl]

I have nobody else to give codes to.

They'll just go to waste if I don't give them out.

Drop me a PM. First three get codes.

EDIT: Two to go.

[Phi]

I'm out of codes. Thanks for playing.

[Police Girl]

still got two over here

[Sakura Leic]

I don't seem to do too bad with the villager, I just wish this demo had a proper training mode,

[Phi]

There is a training mode... sort of.

Just found it out:

"There's a practice mode hidden in the demo, too. From the Smash menu, select Group and set it up with just yourself and CPUs. After selecting the stage, you are dropped onto a different stage with a Homerun bag that you get to practice against as long as you like until you hit L+R to start the real match."

[Sakura Leic]

That helps a lot.

[Soultrigger]

I wouldn't mind getting a code, but I also don't mind waiting a week . At the moment, I'm more interested in listening to game rips.

[Satoryu]

When I played the E3 demo I was having a hard time adjusting to the button layout. But after an hour or so, it feels like second nature. Only thing that kinda bothers me right now is L for grab cause I typically use both shoulder buttons for shield. That issue will be remedied in the full game where I can set it to something else though.

Among the characters, I actually liked using Link and Mega Man the most. Link's smashes are way more effective than in Brawl, and the Clawshot is better. Mega Man takes a little getting used to. Charge Shot needs to be fully charged, it doesn't do enough otherwise. Slash Claw is great, I wish Flame Sword was as good. Only real thing with Mega is I don't like his B moves at all. Metal Blade and Crash Bomb aren't very effective, and I think Leaf Shield is hot garbage. Can't wait to see his custom moves. Villager I couldn't get the hang of, and I never really liked playing as Mario or Pikachu.

[Mirby]

Agreed on the controls.

Also a question: If Mega Man gets a Metal Box and someone else throws a Metal Blade at him, does Metal Mega Man take immense damage?

[Police Girl]

I had a lot of fun with everybody I played as.

Villager's a bit strange but I feel that could be a useful character if played right.

Megaman's my favorite right now, now that I've gotten a feel for his playstyle.

I've always been decent with Mario, Pikachu I'm alright with and the new tweaks are really nice.

Link got his much needed improvements, I really like the new Running A attack and he actually works well unlike his older incarnations.

[Phi]

Every time I'm up against a Mega Man CPU, I allow them to perform their final smash on me.

It's worth it!

[Hypershell]

Ha, that's an excellent point.  When I play as other characters, I'll need to watch my score/stock closely.

If you got Platinum status last year, I suggest you check your e-mail to see if you reecieved them.

I just checked my email, no luck.  Which kinda boils my Yoshi Eggs a bit, since I've had Platinum status EVERY year.

Yeah, I guess it's more the "intend to buy" survey.

EDITS: And apparently a lot of people believe so, because Club Nintendo JUST NOW came back up from maintenance and already claims to be taking high volumes.  It's behaving accordingly.  >.>

EDITS ONCE AGAIN: And now it's back to site maintenance.  Because of course it is.

Oh well.  Thank you, Clefant, for being so awesome.

[Police Girl]

One more code left.

[Sakura Leic]

So I let my brother try it, and then he decided to fight 3 level 9 CPUs with Link and won.  Now he's playing Shovel Knight.

[Nexus]

Mega Man's cool and all, but unfortunately his style just doesn't feel right in Smash. Which sucks, because I really wanted to main him.

[Mirby]

I think his style feels fine. It's certainly unique, that's for sure, and I'm actually quite fond of it.

[Sakura Leic]

I just couldn't get the hang of him at all, I don't think my brother did too well with him either.

[Phi]

Yeah, there's certainly a steep learning curve with him, but I wouldn't say he feels out of place.

[Hypershell]

Mega Man seems alright to me, but it's hard to tell because the 3DS's default controls feel so wonky.

It clashes with my N64 instincts.  L should be guard and R should be throw, not the other way around.  And I'd have expected Y for special and B for standard, with X/A for Jump.  Instead it's Y/X for jump (basically matching letters without regard to changing button layout).

[Nexus]

The controls themselves are something i'm perfectly fine with button-wise. I can already dodge-dance consistently back and forth. It's the circle pad that's getting under my nerves. A big thumb plus certain other issues ontop of the original 3DS model's circle pad with little space and a much less consistent tilt performance than any of Nintendo's analog joysticks does not feel good at all.

[Police Girl]

There's your mewtwo in smash 4.

Also chorus kids and ice climbers. They're all with Wolf in the trophy hell.
