Super Smash Bros. for 3DS & Wii U Thread 6: Final Destination confirmed for not fun

Yeah, but the only way Isaac isn't going to be in the April direct and Mii instead is if a new Golden Sun is coming out later in the year

This Golden Sun binge I'm currently on is making me too hopeful

Can't help but feel that a new golden sun isn't happening anytime near that soon. Camelot still haven't finished Mario Golf 3DS... although I do find it hard to believe they spent the last 4 years since finishing Dark Dawn just working on the mediocre Mario Tennis 3DS and Golf which is yet to be seen. More likely they got conscripted to some other project nintendo needed help with on 3DS or Wii U though, as several of nintendos studios have done recently.
 
You can fault Other M for a lot of things, but Samus's power suit design is not one of them. Especially in Smash 4. It's sleek and beautiful.

If it looked EXACTLY like that drawing, I would give it a pass. But it won't. It will look like this:

The only acceptable design for PacMan in Smash would be this:

Just rip him right from the original games like Game and Watch.
Samus in Other M looks like a weightless action figure with a suit that looks more like it's for style than any sort of practicality. The design has no weight to it, unlike her designs in literally every other Metroid ever, but with special accolades given to the Prime series. Granted, Smash 4 makes it look better, but I still would have vastly preferred it to be... well, literally any other design. Especially since the other Metroid characters that are likely to be in, ZSS and Ridley, have far worse designs in Other M...

I don't understand the hate for Pac-Man's modern design. Outside of images where he has teeth for some reason, he just has a distinctive, fun design. And he has a ton of fun little nods to his older designs, too, which is nice.

Let me stop you right there C. Olimar, cause you brought up practicality for samus' suit. NONE OF SAMUS' SUITS WERE EVER PRACTICAL, ABSOLUTELY NONE OF THEM

At least most of her designs actually resemble armor and look like something that could feasibly protect you from violent alien attacks, though.
 
Why the entirety of the roster was not leaked:
Sal Romano said:
Last week, Gematsu was tipped off about Nintendo’s E3 character reveals for Super Smash Bros. But since we were unable to confirm the validity of our source, we refrained from posting the information. Of the six characters we were told would be revealed, three have been confirmed: Mega Man, Animal Crossing Villager, and Wii Fit Trainer. The three left remaining are Little Mac, Pac-Man, and your Mii.
Gematsu

I double-bolded just to make the point really easy to spot.
 
Lmao at the Wii Fit Trainer being a safe pick discussion earlier.

She isn't a protagonist in her game, she isn't playable, she had no personality, she had no fanbase. Mii would have been a safe pick as a representation of the Wii _____ series as a whole. Wii Fit Trainer was as safe as the tutorial pig from DKCR.
 
Eh, Mii. Not looking forward to that possibility.
 
Really, even the Fusion suit?
The Fusion Suit isn't supposed to look like it can ward off enemy attacks - that was sort of the point. It's a significantly weaker power suit for plot purposes. Other M's suit is supposed to be the same suit she's always worn in every game sans that and Zero Mission.

I think her, other m was supposed to look sleek, which adds to her acrobatic kills in the game.
Which makes sense, but doesn't change that I dislike it for being so, ahem, sleek. Samus is an intimidating presence with a full suit of armor, and despite that she's incredibly acrobatic and powerful, moving faster than most video game characters do without such armor. Slimming down her suit diminishes that. Even in the context of Other M, I imagine that those acrobatic kills would have been that much more impressive if they had been done with her bulkier armor from every other Metroid game.

It's not the worst design in the world, but I would argue that it's the weakest design present in the SSB4 characters thusfar by a fairly wide margin.

Not just that, samus is suppose to be very fast, flexible, have lots of agility and be acrobatic even with her powersuit on, which is why in all metroid games, barring the prime series she runs very fast and does flips whenever she jumps
 
C.Olimar is right, Other M's suit design is garbage. Looks like a cheap plastic action figure. Fits the terrible art direction of the game in question though.

What the artists of Smash have managed to do with it is nothing short of miraculous, but it would have been better had the design not been used period.

He isnt right, tho he isnt wrong either merely because its opinion but the other M design is just a slight variation of her varia suit thats been in most metroid games, it really doesnt look as bad are you guys are making it out to be, otherwise it wouldnt be a marketable figma

Samus should ditch the body armor but keep her helmet. Zero suit + helmet = Metroid: Other Zero.
 
I played other M couple weeks ago expecting a terrible game and was presently surprised when it was not that bad. the only thing I did not like was the way they unlocked abilities but that not something you can't overlook. Other M gave samus personality other then a faceless character killing things in the other games. Her reaction to ridley is to be expected and maybe would have been represented if the past games were made today instead of the past. Ridley killed and slaughtered everything she cared about from her home world and eat them. There is no doubt it would leave trauma esp. after the fact that no matter how many times you kill him he keeps coming back.
 
That would ruin the Mom/Baby theme of the game though. What exactly is a Moz? Unless...
Moz + Her = Mother.
Mother + Brain = Mother Brain

MOZ is about the space dragon mutant clone of Mozart that terrorizes the Galactic Union of Composers with deadly symphonies. As well as that Mother Brain dealy you mentioned.
 
Metroid: Other Zero spoiler:
The space dragon mutant clone of Mozart turns out to be a robot that is controlled by Ludwig Von Koopa.

Then you also have this in the Pokemon games:
Moltres
Zapdos
Articuno

Could Mozart still be alive? How deep does this conspiracy go?

It's so funny to me that you guys are saying this.

Like it's been discussed earlier in this topic, Brawl Samus looks like a chunky action figure that looks more in line with a NASA astronaut's suit, i.e. meant to float around in weightless space than acrobatics or any sort of movement you might expect from a bounty hunter. Other M's sleek design is the epitome of the 2D, run-and-gun speed that Metroid is known for. Brawl Samus looks silly compared to SSB4 Samus.

Mind you I think Prime Samus looks fine in its games. Brawl Samus is proportioned closer to

jack-hammer-claw-225-B0009F4YSA.jpg


and Melee Samus looks even worse.
 
All of them are referred to by their species name, and not one of their species is "Dog."

Not even wolves are technically dogs.
But dogs are technically wolves.

Ewww no, it worked for game and watch because he had so many different forms and attacks. Definitely wouldn't work for Pac-Man.

No see, the suit in SSB4 is from Other M and must be bad by default because of that.
I hate the design of the suit, doesn't have anything to do with Other M.
