Super Smash Bros. for Wii U & 3DS Discussion

[Stargazing]

If you reformat your Wii U because of this glitch, it will get bricked. Just saying.

If I just avoid the game until a patch comes out, can I play other games instead?

 

[Tyrell Badd]

Hmm, I guess I could finish Pokemon Platinum while I wait for the patch.

Oh lord these Smash Tour challenges are just evil. It's pretty much a checklist of everything having to go right. If one thing goes wrong, then tough shit.

Bump into a Metroid after it steals you boosts
-Hope for a Metroid to spawn instead of the 10 other things that do
-Hope the Metroid spawns next to you
-Hope the Metroid steals your stats
-Hope the Metroid teleports nearby instead of the other side
-Hope that no one interrupts you with a battle or steals the Metroid

All this for, imo, one of the blandest Prime songs (Parasite Queen)

Start the final match with 10 fighters
-Hope the fighters spawn next to you
-Hope you win every battle you're in, no matter how shitty it is against you
--CPUs will purposely gimp you the more fighters you have
-Hope no one has a POW Block or any other fighter-losing trap shit

Get 3 Checkpoint Bonuses
-Pray that you don't get interrupted by a battle every 2 steps to the checkpoints
-Pray for the Reaper since he gives you an instant checkpoint bonus for 3 fighters
-Pray for the Souflee
-Hope that Kamek doesn't rearrange the checkpoints
-Hope you roll high enough numbers to go around the entire board 3+ times (always choose the small board, anything else is just goddamn impossible)

I hope I can cheese these by using 4 GCN controllers and just playing by myself. My main Mii will go around the board trying for everything while the other threes will be committing suicide when matches come up and generally not getting in my way. I hope they still give you prizes for completing it though, like each of the players bring back equipment, coins, hopefully customs, etc. And I hope the challenges are still active when doing so because it would be extremely shitty if they were disabled during 2+ player Smash Tour.

So uhh... hope this gets patched.

Okay this is just very disturbing news. And what's bothering me even more about it is that there's no clear source for that error.

From what I read elsewhere; Play for glory and then turn it off (not sure if during or just any time after playing FG) and then the error pops up or something along those lines. Trying to format then bricks the console.

I feel bad for the people who have to deal with this.

So far, I have not encountered this error, and the following is what I've been doing while playing Smash Wii U.

1: I never touch Online mode.
2: I always return to the title screen before closing the software.
3: I always wait until I return to the Wii U main menu before turning off the Wii U.

However, the randomness of this error doesn't make me feel better.
