Super Smash Bros. for 3DS and Wii U Thread 5: Yarning for Yoshi

Probably because people seem particularly pushy about 101.

All the "Get 101, no question" replies sure persuaded me not to get that game.
Interesting stance...which I personally have for Dark Souls. I still bought it this Steam Winter Sale, but the annoying fanboys ruined any interest I had in buying the game at full price.
 
I've updated my roster again with Diddy Kong's reveal:

I really like the concept of this wallpaper.
The silhouette idea is neat, but the execution is okay. What s/he probably should've done was make defining characteristics/traits a shade darker or lighter. In example, Marth's cape and Pits wings should be highlighted in this manner-- particularly Marth cuz his silhouette is a blob.
 
This is why I like this thread and community, despite our arguments and disagreements sometimes, everyone here is always willing to be helpful and friendly when someone needs it. I should be finishing up SM3DW this week and then I think I'll download the demo for W101 and maybe rent pikmin 3 for a day before making my decision. I got DKCR in wii for my little brother like 6 months ago, I hated the motion controls that they implemented but after hearing the new one eliminated those it seems tempting. Of course if W101 is as amazing as some say the cheaper price tag makes me lean that way. Anyway, thanks for everyone's input!
 
He could be so awesome, and I feel like the character is something that is right up Sakurai's alley as far as what he looks for in a character. It sucks that he probably won't be in, because he absolutely should be.

Yeah that's the only reason I think its not entirely impossible to have him in, cause Sakurai would see the potential in the moveset. He'd be a really interesting character there. Part of me thinks that if Sakurai were to consider a w101 character he would try to have all 7 in, and that would probably be a problem, and thus he would not do it :/.

Also I will never understand this logic. Never. I don't see how people being "pushy" about it would make you completely write off the game that has nothing to do with it.

The game completely flopped so of course people are gonna try hard to persuade others into buying it. It was a great game and almost nobody played it.

even Tearaway fans aren't as annoying, and they have goddamn SmokyDave to push up their average

I was the same way lol. Got it for 6 dollars. I can't even properly put it in words but my annoyance at things like that can be so thorough that it's almost embarrassing to me (til I see double digit posts of said game again in a single hour in unrelated topics and feel completely justified since I am clearly causing them anguish with my snub).

For some reason though, Dark Souls is literally the only game I can think of having felt this way about. And i don't even dislike the game, it's kinda fun (if flawed).

REALLY like this, though Villager and DK look strange.

I think their proportions are a bit off from their base design in any games I can think of, that might be why. Same with Mario and to a lesser extent Luigi and Sonic and Dedede. Villager is the biggest offender though. I still they they look really good in spite of that, I love the stained glass artstyle very much.

Oh don't misunderstand, the game never looked interesting to me in the slightest.


The obnoxious pushing is just the cherry on top of my not-wantitidude.
 
I play all kinds of games and it's extremely rare that a fanbase will so put me off to something that I don't even want to try it. The times it is true (Mother 3) are mostly "I'll get to it when I have time" and not really an active ward against playing it.

Then again, I'm the kind of person who thinks not playing something isn't a badge of honor of some kind.

I'd probably play it if it fell freely into my lap, or maybe the demo.


It'd have to be pretty damn amazing to get over my initial dislike for it though.
It's not.

Well that's more reasonable than just writing it off because of people telling others to play the game.

It's also the "how" truth to be told.

There's some games I've decided to try out cause of popular opinion (FE: Awakening, Virtue's Last Reward) but for most of them people argued reasonably
well why they were great & what their flaws were.

When I see people praise W101 in threads it feels more likes salestrolling to compensate for it flopping rather than anything tied to reason.
 
What if the character select screen is a RAINBOW

As cool as that looks, it might be too cumbersome imho. Some of the colors don't match the characters like Villager, Fox and Bowser. So sometimes it's going to be a bit hard to find the character in a (assuming to be) 45-50 slot character select screen. So like say you want to find Villager and you think red (because his shirt is red) and you try to find him but you keep looking at the red section instead of green. I mean yeah you'd eventually find him but it'd take a bit I guess.

Maybe I'm overthinking it though, but I'm going from a designer's perspective. I think it looks great honestly but not sure if it'd be very convenient is what I'm saying.

I guess what they could do is recolor some of the backgrounds to actually match the character's color scheme better.
 
Thanks for the opinion! I have seen a couple people say that W101 isn't for everyone though, would you recommend renting it first? Or are there any games it is comparable to?

Watch a tutorial and play the demo twice. If you like then get it.
Also use right stick for drawing.

Well I assumed it was something like that but with ANY game recommendation you will always just hear people saying whatever game is good and won't expand much on that and you will have others that will give actual good reasoning for why to play a game.

There have been plenty of well argued posts into why people think W101 is a good game, immediately comes to mind the couple of posts EatChildren did in the OP for the game and the GOTY voting thread.

This is false. The game is legit fun, I went in with lower expectations then most and came out loving it. People just fall in love with the game because of its frantic gameplay,the over the top power ranger/super hero design and feel, the humor,voice acting and just overall craziness. People just can't help but gush about it. Don't buy it if you want but just know people praising it don't really have an agenda other than wanting to alert people of potential fun they are missing.

Also don't bother with the demo it doesn't really do a good job of introducing the game.
 
Lots of fans of games are loud because they want other people to try it. Something something empathy something something. They just want more people to try it because they themselves liked it. That isn't a reason to not try it.
Since someone got bored and made pretty impressive concept arts of Smash Shoes.

Holy Helix! Wow, not sure why someone would do this, but it looks awesome, bravo!
 
W101 is okay, but there were mechanics with the aesthetic that were just unappealing to me. It's super mediocre and repetitive in my opinion. I loved Okami, Metal Gear Rising, and Viewtiful Joe--and beat and fairly enjoyed Vanquish, though that game quickly fatigued me (just like W101).

I disliked Bayonetta. It just did not jive with me at all, and I gave it a few chances of marathon playthroughs. Anarchy Reigns I have no opinion of, it's cool conceptually...

Anyways, my point is that I kinda feel that people are super defensive when they're fans of a game and it did poorly sales-wise. And I can easily see that being a major turn off.

Back on topic, Wonder Red would be great in Smash though, I don't disagree with that. What I think of the game is irrelevant to the characters' potential.
 
Oh man! Those shoes! If there was a collectors edition of smash that came with shoes, is be tempted to double dip for different shoes!
 
there's an abundance of cool smash stuff on tumblr

Care to post a link if you can?

Slow day lol, I guess that's just the nature of a weekend.

No one catch the one true pair pun?

Well, Smash thread have been slow for last 7-9 days, so I assume that people were busy with hyping other things like Pokemon Twitch, DKFCR2, etc. Yeah, I already got your reference. It's cute tho.
