What the hell is Olimar/Alph good for?
It's really not fair in general to compare a mobile version of the game to a console version of a game.
Speaking of console and mobile versions, I'm kind of pissed that Mewtwo is going to be exclusive for those who own both versions.
Actually, I think Nintendo has announced that Mewtwo will eventually get a wider DLC release. Not for a while, however, which does kind of irk me.
Honestly, my main annoyance regarding characters is Dark Pit. He's a clone fighter whose similarity to Pit really annoys me. At least Dr. Mario feels more divergent from normal Mario. I think that someone else could have taken Dark Pit's spot, like perhaps Wonder-Red.
Dark Pit really didn't take away a lot of production time from the other fighters, purely because he is so similar to normal Pit. It's not like they had x number of slots, and Dark Pit being included took a slot away from another fighter.
Most likely what happened is the same that brought about Mario and Dr Mario. They tweaked Pit's moves, and decided to keep both versions.
Plus, Sakurai came up with Dark Pit, so I think it's fair to let him throw that one in.
Olimar/Alph just sucks so much ...
I kind of hope someone got me the Wii U version for Christmas, because I'm not giving Nintendo more money for it.

You didn't need to try the Wii U version for that; just watch the Wii U version's Nintendo Direct. I thought that we'd essentially be getting the same game, like Shovel Knight. Hahaha, no. No, no, no. Not at all.

I do not believe this is true. The entire reason they gave for doing it was for promotion of getting the 3DS version.
Here's an article mentioning the plan to eventually sell him as DLC later on down the line: http://www.gamespot.com/articles/nintendo-we-have-no-smash-bros-premium-dlc-plans-b/1100-6423752/.
Brother got the WiiU version from his fiance for Christmas.
I'm really enjoying Palutena and Rosalina in the newcomer pool, though I have a few others I haven't played yet. Bowser feels really strong now, and doesn't feel as slow and clunky as he used to. I think the only character I've played and not really liked so far is Sheik.
Shulk seems like he'd be really great if you focused on learning him, especially with the Monado Signs. Speed makes him so fast I almost ran off a few edges multiple times.

Even with a 3DS, you'd need the 3DS version. I like Mewtwo, but I wish I had my $40.
Having played Smash on the Wii U a little bit, my current thoughts:
- Much better levels. In pretty much every way.
- Eight player Smash is fun, but I doubt I'll ever have eight people at my house for it. Looks like I need Amiibo friends
- On that note, online will never be as fun as having people present, but at least it runs pretty smooth. There have been a couple moments of slowdown here and there, but the game never just stopped and ran a loading cycle like it does for stretches on the 3DS.
- However, with online not being as fun ... there's nothing Nintendo can do about that unless they allowed microphones to work during the game like PC, Playstation, and Xbox games do. If they don't allow mic use for Splatoon, I'll have to reconsider purchasing it, because ...
- My wife hates this. The 3DS screen is better for her, with tiny levels close to her face, but this is just chaos to her. So, I pretty much have to play solo.
I did start to have more fun when I took the For Fun battles more seriously. The 3DS lag problems kind of ruined me in that I took For Fun battles to mean spamming a wide move (which isn't very fun). Now I have the freedom to actually fight, so I'll have to try again and do that more. I still wish items dropped more often.

I've been working to unlock stuff, so I haven't done much outside the Games/More section. I'm really having fun with Palutena, her basic moveset doesn't have much offense so you have to rely on her normal attacks, which is fine because her Smash moves are crazy strong.
Rosalina/Luma is interesting, your Luma can actually fall and die like the Ice Climbers non-controlled character, except it will respawn eventually.

Maybe play on smaller stages have your wife use the gamepad? There are plenty of small stages the Wii U version.Having played Smash on the Wii U a little bit, my current thoughts:

I'm actually working on learning Jigglypuff. Man, when you get to know how to play her, she's deadly as hell.[DOUBLEPOST=1420062276,1420062223][/DOUBLEPOST]Also, I love the weird/hard to learn characters, but I have to reiterate what was said earlier. What the hell good is Alph/Olimar?
I'm hoping to work on my Bowser/Palutena/RosaLuma game, they're all a lot of fun to play. Once I feel more comfortable with the game itself I might work on Shulk, he seems pretty awesome if you get his Monado Sigils down.

I'm also down for some Mario Kart again.
In Mario Kart, sure, but I sold Smash Bros Wii U. Only have the 3DS version now, and that's because I'm stuck with it (download).
Sorry to hear. I don't get a chance to play it much, but it seems like a fun game. I guess I might have more people available to play it with.
What days typically work for you for Mario Kart? I have the weekend off. I'm sure we can find a good time if you and your wife are down.
Considering you have kids, yeah, you have more people to play with
. My cousins moved away and Julie hates Smash, so it just wasn't fun alone.We can probably play for a little bit sometime this weekend; maybe Saturday evening. Just keep in mind we're 3 hours ahead of you.
Not this week. Probably not until mid-March, to be honest; I probably should've expressed that in the post.
Stop being busy. You're a writer. You're supposed to make your own schedule.
(Note - Author of above post has absolutely no idea what a writer's schedule is supposed to be like)
Awesome. I'll PM you my cell number. Feel free to text me when you find yourself with free time. That typically makes it easier to meet up online.
I'm an editor as my day job; writing ain't paying the bills yet, so that takes up free time. The reason we won't have socializing time for a bit is pre-vacation quest management, vacation, and then post-vacation. Four kids is harder to deal with than four rats, but kids can be taken with you; we have some stuff we gotta get prepared with other people before we can leave our pets for a week.
Mewtwo coming in late April, and Lucas coming in June!

Buying both versions was not a sound idea for anyone who did so just to get Mewtwo--he'll be $4 on 3DS, $5 on Wii U.
