Hey everyone. Now, I'm sure those of you who are regulars here, such as One-Of-Three, Mario, and GlaciusX25 know that I only create a thread when it is necessary. I think this may be one of those times.
While playing Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS online yesterday, I discovered what appears to be a new glitch in the game which may have been caused by the newest Nintendo 3DS System Update. Before I go into more detail, while my copy of the game is a digital download from the Nintendo eShop, I know there is nothing wrong with my system, so even though I know it by heart, please, I don't need any repair information thrown my way.
So, anyways, here's the details. While playing in an online match, in either the For Fun or For Glory modes, if a player inputs the down taunt followed by the up taunt, this will basically cause the Control Pad to become virtually unresponsive/locked for the remainder of the battle. This seems to also happen if the up taunt is inturrpted. While in many cases the taunting isn't that big of a deal, I know there are players who use and change Kirby's Copy ability often during a match, or others who use Luigi's taunt kick as part of their battle style, both of which can cause drastic changes in a battle. Before the new Nintendo 3DS system update went live the other day, I could taunt all I wanted to during an online battle. Now, I can't. So what I would like to know is if anyone else out there is having this issue or if they can replicate this glitch on their copy of the game? Is your copy a physical game card or a digital download from the Nintendo eShop? For all I know, this could be just a one-off thing with my copy of the game. This glitch thing can only be performed during an online match, not in an offline mode or the online waiting room/stage. If some other members here can replicate this issue, then great, we've got a thread we can inform Nintendo about so that hopefully a new patch can be created, or at least the issue could be looked at. If not and it's just a minor weird issue with my system, then hey, no big deal, I don't really tend to use either Kirby or Luigi in my battles anyway.
Anyways, thanks for stopping and taking a look at this. Hopefully we can get to the bottom of this quickly.
