Nintendo unable to replicate Piranha Plant save corruption issues in Smash Ultimate

Indeed! And if the bug couldn't have been prevented by quality testing, then that is totally fair enough! I have already stated this in an earlier post.
That's... discouraging. That said, I got mine some months ago and it hasn't crapped out on me or anything. Am I safe?
You didn't really state that. You posited a question that couldn't possibly be answered by anyone who goes to this forum (which made it seem disingenuous, by the way) and then dropped that avenue altogether. >_>
EDIT: Oops, double post. :<
Just found out my friend has this issue
He has not done any tinkering on his Switch
His SD card is good

In general it's just don't buy sd cards on Amazon. It's been a problem for years. You can check with some software to see if your card is fake, but I'd just avoid amazon for these cards.
Yeah, OK, I see you're going to keep moving the goalposts over and over before a) entertaining the Occam's razor explanation that there's simply a bug with the piranha plant or b) admitting that people in this thread literally called everyone who reported this bug "a liar". This conversation is over.
Wasn't there a very consistent bug back when SSB for Wii U released that bricked consoles? I remember a lot of misinformation spreading about that back then.
Lol what's your problem dude? I'm sorry people desire proof for this stuff. Didn't move a single goalpost. I get you want to rage, but so far the only proof of a bug had nothing to do with piranha plant.
Seems like is a specific microsd card that is causing the issue...

I thought I redeemed the code a while ago, but don't see the character in my list. Or is this a random unlock like the other characters?
Yeah, Mewtwo caused a similar issue when he got released. I think he was triggering some anti-cheat protocol that Nintendo forgot to disable when DLC started to roll in.
That said, I was just having fun thinking up a nightmare scenario for a bug that programmers would have to tackle lol. I doubt this bug is exactly like I described (but if it is I certainly do not envy the people in charge of fixing it).
Check your re-download list on the e-Shop.
Does it just corrupt Smash saves? I can live with that...BUT IF I GOTTA REDO MY USFII CUSTOM COLORS AGAIN I SWEAR
Your first post didn't really make any argument, and it definitely wasn't that one. I know i'm talking to a brick wall here, but if you didn't mean to bring NSO into the conversation with your original drive-by tier post, why even mention the 20 pound price tag for online?
i have this one https://www.walmart.com/ip/SanDisk-128GB-Ultra-PLUS-microSDXC-UHS-I-Card-SDSQUSC-128G-ANCIA/52329616 bought instore at my local walmarts
Sorry, I posted during my lunch break and am catching up now. I am just using the Switch as it came, didn't purchase an SD card. I buy pretty much all games physically except for a few so I haven't had a need to. No tinkering with the Switch at all. I wish I had taken a screenshot of the error message... I knew of the issue based off of a Gamexplain video.
You see that's the kind of info we need. Do you remember what the error said? Was it like the one in the subreddit video?
Also when did the game crash? Was it while playing as the plant? Did your other characters disappear before hand?
No wonder they couldn't replicate it, if it's a specific counterfeit card that's causing the issue.
I just checked on Amazon, my SD card is a Sandisk 200GB one.
I guess it wouldn't hurt to check if it's fake regardless, though.
embarrassed4u, both for the uninformed shitpost attempt at derailment but also cuz it's ÂŁ18 not 20.
Thanks for the information. Based on your previous post, it sounds like the all-star mode, piranha plant connection isn't there, but either there's something with piranha plant in general, or you were just really unlucky with some unknown variable that's going to be hard to figure out. Glad you were able to get your back up saves to fix the issue!
Come to think of it, after the discussion on the last page, it's actually hilarious that paying for the Online Service had actually saved your data rather than been what corrupted it.
So what you're saying is that Nintendo's flagship online title — which is the spearhead of selling a £20 per year online service — having DLC content that wasn't quality checked and is now crashing peoples' save data, is ok?
The fact that you're really struggling to see the connection between Nintendo's online service, and the patch quality control of the flagship title of such an online service, is very bizarre.
Microsoft and Bungie ensured that everything within their patches was flawless with Halo 2, because the game was the core foundation of Xbox Live. Why is it controversial to expect Nintendo do the same with Smash?
Perhaps you are deliberately evading the point here, but I don't think there's anything more I can say at this point.
The reddit video showed a player being booted from the game to the home menu right? That didn't happen to me. I just went to start playing a new session of the game from the Home menu and got an error about save data. The game didn't start, so I hit the plus button to go into options and clicked on the menu about cloud backups. I'm at work and don't have my Switch by me to reference. I'm pretty sure there was a small red X or something in that menu, and after I clicked on it the cloud backup downloaded and changed it to a blue check mark. I was then able to launch the game.
FWIW I wonder what actually is in the error reports.
During initial setup I chose a weak Wi-Fi AP - long story - and that caused an error that I could have sent to Nintendo... except, not really, because that required a working internet connection... I think I could look at it later but not resend it. It had a fair amount of details visible, but nothing particularly special (error number, FW at error, etc.). I imagine the reports must have some secret sauce inside, but whether it's enough to help with things like these, I have no idea.

I mean, I pointed this out in the post above, but the irony is that the cloud saves are what saved the data of the person who said they had this issue, where as someone who didn't have the online service would have been screwed.
Did you still have all your characters after playing with pirahna plant? The bug is supposed to cause major corruption and then cause you to crash out.
Could you have just closed the game while it was saving and corrupted the data?
Seriously, you're reporting me for not being hot with Nintendo's online service? Did you report the hundreds of others on here?
Lol yeah! I was so glad for that backup. I don't think I would have gone through WoL again starting over from scratch.
lol, i just noticed, he's this guy:
dude this has nothing to do with the online service, this isn't even confirmed to be a bug, and it's something that if true (which seems like it isn't) affects people who don't have an online sub too. you look beyond dumb trying to bring NSO into this topic.
User Banned (Permanent): Trolling, thread derailment, and numerous accumulated infractions.
Mate, it is ok to express discontent with an online service.
And he calls himself a s rank Nintendo fan. More like d rank fan and s rank troll.
but neither this error, not the piranha plant dlc, have nothing to do with NSO.
So far sounds like a certain Samsung micro SD card sides on user on here.
Look, I'm going to say this for the last time and then leave because people are getting very angry. I think it's perfectly reasonable for the flagship title of a paid service to not have DLC that crashes peoples' save data.
See you all in other threads.
I didn't notice anything missing in the save data and I still had the Piranha Plant spirit I bought from the shop from my last play session. I exit the game by hitting the home button and closing the software from the Home menu. I suppose it's possible I did that during an autosave but I kinda doubt it.
where does nintendo online and it's pricing come into your argument?
i hope not
Hmmm so you still had the spirit? I'm confused by that since your save would have been corrupted by the time you bought that if you closed soon after. Did the error say save data or game data? Also thanks for communicating all this. You should send all the info to Nintendo to see if it helps them.
The source for this information specifically is 4 users in this comment chain:
https://www.reddit.com/r/smashbros/...rrupted_while_playing_pikachu_online/efs7saw/
One of them ran a test on their card to see if it was a fake with a false advertised size but it came out clean. Another user stated theirs was shipped/sold by Amazon directly.
Four users is hardly a study but I guess it's interesting to note, there could be something funny about that card+switch. It seems their problems are not isolated to Smash, though. They also have issues in Splatoon 2 and Rocket League. So I don't know how involved this is with the ongoing plant discussion. They already got problems. The OP of that thread wasn't even using plant at the time.
I thought for a second that I might have the same card but I double checked and mine is actually SanDisk Ultra 200GB microSDXC U1 A1 UHS-I. Then I thought about my girlfriend but I don't think she even has her own SD card in there, just stock storage out of the box.
just played allstar mode with plant nothing happened sides getting my ass handed to my Ryu. and then greninja
