My brother and his friend picked it up at 12 last nite. Played til about 730 am this mornin. it's pretty sweet. I use pikachu mostly (i was falco in ssbm) and my bro uses link/fox (they're both pretty good) and his friend uses pit (i think pit is real good. quick and strong)

How's Sonic so far? Is he at top-tier or at least mid-tier?

Got it last night, it's pretty different than ssbm, but I think that's a good thing. Gameplay seems more straight up, almost like what the developers intended it to be in the first place, since I don't see any obvious glitches or tricks like wave dashing and stuff. I find the new air dodge to be interesting, you can air dodge and then attack after a short delay, giving you more options in the air. Final smashes are stupid and imba, some characters have really good ones while others have crappy ones. Assist trophies are much worse, they are like pokeballs on crack. I'm sure both will be turned off for competitive play.

My current favorite characters are king dedede, fox, and meta knight, although so far I've only unlocked like 6 characters... still haven't tried out wolf, lucario, etc. A little disappointed in Snake, but maybe I just haven't given him much of a chance yet.

The online matchmaking is pretty terrible, if you want to play anonymously you have to play a 4 player ffa 2-minute KO fest with items on, which is absolutely rediculous. Hopefully Nintendo will change that, but at the moment the only way you can have 1on1 without items is if you arrange a game with someone privately.

Played for 10+ hours last night.
Unlocked every character, and then played around with lots of friends.

I <3 pokemon trainer
Each pokemon is very unique and good in different situations
up/down maps gogo ivysaur
small melee maps gogo charizard
and squirtle is just a badass
sideB into upB or upsmash is gg

olimar seems a bit underpowered, but is fun as heck

zelda seemed to dominate every game someone halfway decent played with her
the new projectile/orb thingie is 100x better

I still <3 ness more than lucas, screw the neverending PKthunder, i want to be gay and snipe people over and over again

My copy will arrive at school when I get back from spring break. Oh well, I got it for 10 bucks cheaper at walmart.com thanks to a screw up on their part.
