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

Sakurai has heard your cries. Characters from overly serious franchises about war, murder, and incest are out. Characters from bad series are out.

Ice Climbers, Marth, Pit? Pack your bags and leave.
 
I just look at the entire roster as a Mr. Sakurai decision. I want whoever I want as much as I want but it isn't going to influence the one calling the shots.

As much as a want Magnus or a Golden Sun character or even someone representative of MonolithSoft I'll have to take what I can get. And if Ganondorf is a playable character again...what more can I really ask for?

I'm already incredibly happy with Villager getting in finally, everything else is just gravy. Much as I'd love Hades (or hell, Magnus would do. Any Kid icarus character really!)
 
Its interesting, in the other thread people were complaining about the nintendo direct being entirely or almost entirely focused on smash bros. But at the end of the day, I still strongly feel we know very little about these games compared to the possible set of information that exists on them (especially with regards to online, game form / single player, music, key changes, etc.).

So bring it on I say!

Jesus, I'd drop this franchise so fast if some of the self imposed rulings made their way to top level decisions on the rosters.

No Marf & No Pit means No Sale.

DOES THINGS FOR LOVE
 
For whatever reason I'm strangely calm about the hype. Still a little excited, but not too hyped. Anyone else the same way?

I guess I'm just focused on getting my HW out of the way before Tuesday evening.
 
Shulk and Wonder Red will kill the hype for me.

They just DO NOT seem like Smash material, but whatever, people seem to like them. *shrug*

Yeah I'm the same way. Maybe cause it's was announced farther away than usual Directs.

I'm the same. While I'm so happy that we're finally getting a potential blowout, it comes right after the class where I have a 10 minute long oral presentation for my Afro Carribean history course and I'm just filled with dread since I never do well in oral presentations. :(

Call Iwata for some pointers.

I feel the same way, but I can't really articulate why without sounding like a blind Sakurai loyalist. I just think he's proven himself to have very specific standards, and games like Xenoblade and The Wonderful 101 seem better suited for assist trophies than playable characters.
 
Half tempted to slide a Please Understand in now. Thanks a lot guys. :lol

When it comes to Smash there are only three things that matter to me:

1. Sakurai likes the idea enough to do it
2. The roster represents the full depth and breadth of the Nintendo Vault™ and doesn't pidgeon hole itself into going for the most high profile franchises all the time.
3. The characters produced are hype as fuck on a gameplay design level.

With that said, while I can't vouch for Sakurai's opinions on things, I don't know how anyone could see a character with a time sensitive nature or a small mob of characters that fight as one construct in source material and not get #3. The two are also good for dealing with #2 since it adds faces from recent Nintendo owned properties that represent forays outside of the usual or time tested platforming and adventuring.
 
Holy fuck prodigy has over double the posts of anyone else in the thread. Only heath comes close ATM.
I must personally see to this.

SmashGAF, accept me as your lord and savior or be glazed onto an eternal ham.

Free soda is tempting...but gotta side with justice.

No, I feel the same, I'm hyped but calm, probably just reserving my hype until tuesday or monday, stupid monday tho, in the way of tuesday, go away monday!

LMAO, "You have selected one post that is not part of this thread". That's right Sah, even the NeoGAF servers don't consider you a part of SmashGAF anymore :P

How did you get banned in IRC in the first place?

He was talking about how releasing the 3DS Version later wouldn't boost the Wii U sales significantly. More or less that.


BTW is anyone else kinda disappointed with the main theme of this game? After Brawl's first trailer I couldn't get the song out of my head. It's really catchy. Melee's music is catchy as hell to. Hell 64 has some good music too.

I'm speaking of original compositions of course.
 
I thought not wanting Shulk or Wonder-Red was bad, but not wanting any of them?! That's criminal.

People like that are my sworn enemies till the day I die. Or at least till they change their minds.

Same here. It usually takes me a few hours before to get as enthusiastic as some of the zanier posters here
 
Oh dear, touchy touchy

The truth hurts

It's not only reason why. Kyzon didn't really explain the situation fully. IRC drama have no place to be in this thread.

Edited: I would appreciate that people going to keep smash irc and smash thread separate because it's not necessary to bring drama from irc to this thread.
 
I want Wonderful Ones badly in this game. Someone mentioned that it would be difficult though. Since each one only uses a single unite morph. You don't see Red using a hammer or vice versa. Would Smash just make Wonder Red use everyone's morphs or would they transform as the fight went (making hurtboxes weird)?

Oh dear, touchy touchy

The truth hurts

Well he always speaks just about the 3DS version, and downplays the Wii U version, so there's that. :P
