I'm sorry if this has already been answered. Any info on how character unlocks work during multi-switch local multiplayer? Also, do you need Nintendo's online business to do multi-switch local multiplayer?
Why would you need to pay for online when you're playing local lol? It's not using wifi even with multiswitch local multiplayer

So nobody any tips on Sheik? No? :(
Game is just out, but based on what they were like in 4, gameplan is to take opponents off stage with fair and get em with bouncing fish. I think some of their tilts can combo into it too but to what extent and at what percents you'll have to mess around with. Up air should also kill if you catch them close to the top, dunno what the good set ups are for that but it's easily doable while juggling/sharking because of your speed

I tried to get lvl 7 NPCs with bouncing fish off stage and they just airdodged it 100% of the time lol. I was experimenting with tilts but haven't found anything yet.
I miss my Melee fair. :P

One thing to keep in mind about adventure mode, since I recall some people saying they barrelled through it with a handful of overpowered spirits, is that you get better rewards the more underpowered you are. If you only use high-level spirits, the only spoils you'll get from battles are the spirits themselves.

What other rewards even are there?

The Best Buy I work at is releasing the game at 10pm tonight. Heard most in Utah are I think if that helps anyone else.

Also, anyone know what the difference between the regular guide and collectors edition is? The collector's has like double the page amount

Anyone have a link to the Smash DBZ crossover video? I couldn't watch at the time that I saw it and now I can't find it on here or Youtube.

After trying it right out of fair? Dang

Yeah though, fair is like, just for trying to set stuff up now. Sheik's been kinda weird the last two games because they have such a hard time closing stocks but are good at racking damage

Man the single player stuff looks cool from the GB Quick Look. I wonder if this game would still be worth it for me if I don't plan to play online much. My friends who were going to buy it backed out.

I don't have the game yet, but from what I've seen I imagine smash coins (Used in the in game shop, as well as one of the ways to buy a continue in classic), Continue Tickets, and possibly more music options as well. You might also get extra spirits or stuff for enhancing/crafting spirits, but obviously those probably don't appeal as much to you. Most of the rewards seem like they'll be geared towards spirits mode though

If anybody can play online yet, is it trash?
I can't play, but from the streams I'm watching as well as gamexplain's video it doesn't seem bad. It looks a bit choppy with 4 players, has noticable input lag with 3, and is very smooth with only a tiny bit of input lag 1v1 (which frankly was unavoidable). And it'll probably get a bit better once there's a larger player base with more nearby people to pull from

Maybe I just suck at executing it right away. I have problems landing it in general.
Is her side B more for ledge guarding? I also heard somewhere you can combo into something out of midair needles but I forgot what it was and can't really figure it out myself lol.

Does characters unlock every 10 mins when playing WOL mode, or just in other modes

I want to unlock everybody early but I feel like i'm gonna be playing a lot of WOL

tbh I've never seen the grenade used much in 4 and totally forgot it was in this game haha. Play around with it!

And yeah, saw that on twitter. Short hop needle should confirm into up smash

Is there some kind of item which reverses my controls or something? Playing classic and keep dying because the screen is zoomed the fuck out and pressing right is making me go left.

They only unlock in WoL when you defeat their spirit in the mode. They unlock every 10 minutes in classic and versus mode, specifically.

I hope it isn't trash then, I had a terrible time in Smash 4 most of the time

One more question: can WOL be played with two players?

I've never played any Smash games before, but I'm guess now would be a good time to jump in. Question... can you play co-op (as in 2 players local), against 2 others online?

Incineroar seems quite good. Forward tilt KOing at like 80-something% on stream. Opponent might not be DIing correctly though.
