[Atheerios]

Seeing multiple reports of this on Twitter.





Apparently the same happened with Mewtwo on Wii U:

 

[Khaos Prime]

Thanks for the heads up

Hope they patch it soon

 

[Maximum Spider]

looks like were gonna need a piranha patch.

 

[Jahranimo]

Damn!

I wonder if you can download your cloud save and use that in place of it?

 

[Hero_of_the_Day]

Would that fuck all your character unlocks? 'Cause that would suck.

 

[Neoxon]

Thanks for the warning, OP. Hopefully Sakurai & Bandai Namco fix this ASAP.

Apparently the rumor came from GameFaqs:

I just used Piranha Plant in All Star to get some general practice in. They added Piranha Plant in to All Star, but after it appeared, other fighters stopped appearing. The game crashed, and I got a Corrupted Data error, which is forcing me to REINSTALL the entire game.

Turning off automatic cloud back-up just in-case.

 

[Jahranimo]

Probably a good idea to turn off auto-upload just in case the corrupted save overwrites the good one.

Yeah I'll do that. Probably get in the habit of keeping it off overall for games like Smash tbh.

Yes, if Smash Bros. lacks anything, it's polish.

I know it's a GameFAQs rumour but this is some GameFAQs tier discourse right here.

[Vex]

Decided to tempt fate and play as the Piranha Plant in All-Star Smash. Closed the game and reopened it. Couldn't replicate it?

Can you elaborate or are you just trolling?

 

[Deleted member 4034]

Totally forgot all star mode was a thing. Thanks for the heads up.

Gonna really suck to have to unlock everyone again.

Did you go through the entire All-Star mode with Piranha Plant?

 

[mnemonicj]

This is stupid shit, I'm sure this corrupts the character unlocks and all.

 

[Caiusto]

WAAAAH IT WAS MY PLAN ALL ALONG

[KtotheRoc]

I already did All-Star with PP on my digital copy and then closed the game to play KH III... What does this mean, exactly?

(Beyond "Youarealreadydead.meme")

 

[delete12345]

It's a physical copy. I'm reading that it supposedly only affects digital copies.

Click to shrink...

YESSSSS

Physical prevails!

Hopefully a patch is in the works.

 

[Dark Ninja]

Wait!? There's an All-Star mode!?

 

[Ehoavash]

Good thing All stars mode is shitty as fuck in ultimate :[

[Aters]

Save file corruption bugs are rare these days. How does it work?

 

[Rizific]

so....what do i do if i accidentally deleted the email with the PP code? I registered the game at launch and im sure i deleted that email a long time ago.

 

[KtotheRoc]

Will I be fine if I just don't play the game until the patch or am I just totally screwed? What do I do, Era?

 

[Dude Abides]

Always hated that fucker.

Oh that thing they probably even forgot that was in the game. I thought a proper version got put into the game for a second.

Little help here, Smash Era? Please?

 

[Rizific]

Call your region's customer support. They should be able to look up your account info and either issue you a new code or resend you your original one.

cool, thanks!

No one knows. Replication steps (or confirmation) aren't even clear at this point.

Well, that's not good for my anxiety. But it would be the perfect end to what was genuinely kind of a shitty day for me.

Guess I won't be playing with Piranha plant till this is all patched up. I own the game digitally
