Although, summoning that cactus rocket-thing and then hopping on it is super cute.

I believe the people with a Japanese copy of the game have confirmed that controls can be confirmed. Also, the cactus-thing is a gyroid! The More You Know~

New Smash is good.

It was disappointing to find out that Mewtwo hadn't made it back into the game, but that's how things are, I guess. ...How would you feel about Hades being in the game as a second Falcon clone?

New Smash IS good.

A big part of me feels that the 3DS version shouldn't even exist, and if it didn't we'd already have the console version by now.

In the defense of the circle pad, people had even broken their pads before Smash on simple games like Animal Crossing, so I don't think there's as much to worry about as you might think. That is, unless you absolutely wrecked your Gamecube controller's joystick playing Smash, in which case... Maybe get the extended warranty.

As for if we'd have the Wii U version by now if the 3DS version didn't exist... Debatable. I know that they're keeping the focus on the 3DS version since it's coming out right now, and they'll probably move their focus to the Wii U version after the 3DS version comes to the west. But something tells me that you'd still be waiting until the holiday season of this year for the Wii U version even without the 3DS version's existence. But that's just my two cents. :/

As was previously stated, I believe the difference between a tilt and a smash attack is timing/pressure. If I am moving to the left and press the attack button, I'll perform a left tilt attack. If I'm standing still and press left and the attack button at the same time, I'll perform a side smash attack. I think that's how it works in Smash.


Now, time for me to weigh in on the demo! I really like it! I was hoping to play it last week with a demo code, but patience is a virtue! Everyone controls really well, and sometimes you forget that you're playing on a handheld system. The music is great, the menus are great, the graphics are great, and the controls are surprisingly easy to pick up! It's just like when I was playing the Smash Run demo at the Best Buy event a few months back (only I can't play as Pit in this demo, hehe). The biggest downsides are the lack of online gameplay and the lack of playable characters, both of which are understandable seeing as it's just a demo. Now all that's left is to wait until the full game comes out! (Gotta find some more Miis to make them fight each other!)
