no stages need to be unlocked. For characters, quickest way is 1 stock self destruct, unlock, change the language (this resets the 10 minute timer for unlocking characters) and repeat
Just pre-ordered digital version through best buy. I honestly am not too excited for this compared to Brawl and Wii U. But at the same time I am idk. Doesn't even feel like a Smash game is even coming out tomorrow
I'm surprised how many of the character models are new when they easily could have gotten away with just using the Wii U assets, I didn't notice Fox until that video but he's clearly a bit more detailed in areas, most obvious with his ears.
I wonder if 3 stocks are going to be the competitive standard in 1v1 because holy hell, stocks straight up melt with the 1v1 damage modifier.
First thing I'm gonna do in the morning is go down to the electronic store and see if they have it in stock.
Just a warning, ProsafiaGaming already uploaded videos of the final boss. The thumbnails have spoilers if you care about that.
...I have no idea how Little Mac is supposed to beat them btw.

Are the official GC controllers and GC adapter not available anywhere? On the UK Store site it doesn't even list the adapter :/
Neat, Best Buy decided to deliver my game a day early! I'll be able to play for a few hours before The Game Awards. Makes up for them delivering Persona Dancing a day late I guess haha!
FYI the character unlock method that has been consistently spread around and was leaked weeks ago isn't actually true. Even though it has now been repeated in the "unlock guides" of many big websites (hmmm...).
Unlocks are not on a timer and that timer is not reset by rebooting the game.
Unlocks are based off of total player inputs and button presses. So if you play a furious, button-mashing 2-minute match you'll get a Challenger Approaching, but if you play a lot more passively and press way fewer buttons, it may take 10 minutes or more.
The big pre-release confusion seems to be that you can "bank" multiple character unlocks if you meet the button-presses requirements, but their appearance is on a cool down - the game spaces them out and doesn't give them to you back-to-back. So if you performed enough inputs to unlock 3+ characters you'd then unlock them in 10-minute increments, and this is the cooldown that CAN be skipped and reset by rebooting the console. But rebooting WILL NOT unlock a character if you didn't have enough logged player inputs already.
Easy enough to understand how a few pirates more casually playing misunderstood what was happening when they reset their console and got a new character several times in a row. Less easy to understand how the supposedly professional websites got it so wrong. IGN's Smash Wiki Editor Brendan spent hours and hours testing, and re-testing character unlocks:

My attitude has been pretty passive about it compared to the last ones too, but I also know for a fact that when I sit down and actually play it, it's going to consume me. Just been avoiding any non-Direct info about it and patiently waiting for tonight.
Oh good. That sounds a lot easier than exiting/restarting.
I hope they update Special Smash to include some of the effects used in spirit battles, like the wind or lava floors. They'd be good for a laugh or three!
where did you get it from? Gamestop?It's time! Gotta get home first though...
I'm pretty much in the same boat. It's been like that with pretty much every Nintendo game for the past several years with me.
Doctor please, you need to focus on your work. People are dying.
So this is unlocking in an hour and 15 minutes in the UK, right?
Right?
We're getting fucked over with The Game Awards timing (albeit less so than others), the least we can have now is getting to laugh at Americans having to play the game after The Game Awards instead of before.

BotW Link doesn't have one. Also its a good thing, now he has a good grab.
this is some how both less weird and more weird than just a timer, but does explain some things we saw in pre-release
It also explains the "having more players means characters unlock faster" tooltip.
