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

You know you can say they are playing Kirby Air Ride's City Trial right? What is this Smash Run's origin crap?

The video's title even mentions City Trial, not sure why you didn't. You made me think they were going to talk more about Smash Run lol.

This Smash Run's origin crap is the crap in the title.

Jet-thrusters for mobility and shocks to absorb fall damage. The latter being the same reason Raiden wears them in Metal Gear Rising and Chell wears them in Portal.

I assumed Raiden's heels were there to allow him to grasp his vibroblade with his feet. Unlike Samus' or Chell's they don't look vertically flexible so I don't see why they'd help with shock absorbing. Do you have any source for that?

That was me! [Beating a Dead Horse] And it was a joke... well, the content was real, but the presentation was a joke about how defensive people can be about that sort of thing... and it fell flat, I beg your forgiveness, SmashGAF.

Don't. To be frank, I'm not sure why others are allowed to state they (unoriginal) opinion and you're not. I mean:

Erm, no one was saying you didn't or couldn't like Brawl? A lot of people don't like Brawl, why does that need to be contested by saying you like it? :s

Indeed no-one was saying that, including himself. You put words into his mouth and made him apologize for something he didn't say. What need was there for that? He was just stating his preference and how rare it seems to be (which is debatable in itself; it's just that some Melee fans are much more vocal).

I personally like Melee's physics more, if a bit too fast, while Brawl is too slow/floaty, so WiiU/3DS should be quite close to the sweet spot.

If there was ever a character that did not belong in Smash, it is Snake. I don't want him removed or anything, but he has very little history with Nintendo, and he looks out of place in the game.

You know, the other day I was thinking about Snake in Brawl, and Playstation All Stars in general. The one thing I dislike about PSASBR is how disjointed it all feels. I'm even OK with the game mechanically (the orb/special attack mechanic, while cumbersome, is a good solution for turtling and kill stealing in matches with more than 2 sides), but the look is too mish-mashy for my tastes. In Brawl, Snake stands out as the outsider , but in a sense that works precisely because of his foreignness (I guess his codec conversations cement this). Still, I notice I pick him less than other characters because of this somewhat jarring effect.
 
Looking at ZZS again, I like her design and all, but is the beauty mark really necessary? She never had one in any Metroid game. I don't know why they gave her one now.

But she may had the beauty mark in the first game! You never know! I love her beauty mark. It's a really nice detail on her. And the Samus Other M design is great, js.

Did you really feel the need to dig this topic up again?
 
Well are we talking about Samus or ZSS?

Samus taking falls is a given since the suit protects her and we've never seen ZSS's abilities outside zero mission. Smash obviously takes liberties but always tries to stay as true to the character as possible wherever possible. EDIT: plus who knows how true that whole Chozo training made her a superhuman thing is true? I don't read the manga so I have no idea what feats ZSS possess but if brawl is to be believed (which i doubt) ZSS is pretty damn powerful and sturdy.

She could have also just as easily had jetpacks on her back, or a bayonetta esque type thing with jetpacks on her wrists and legs. Plus if we wanted to use logic it's going to be a hell of a lot harder to gain balance with jetheels than having a regular jetpack.

The suit protects her and lets her jump and fall because it has a jet pack. Zero suit does not have a jet pack.

Ultimately it comes down to whether or not the heels look like they serve a practical use, and they certainly do.

These aren't normal heels. They're like springs.

If we used logic landing flat on your feet would shatter your bones.
 
Like.. Roy? :P It's never happening, but I want him back only for his Awakening outfit. Who else was even a popular Lord from past Fire Emblem games?

Lyn would have been great, she'd be a very speedy sword user, along with adding another female to the roster.

Haha Roy was a straight clone so unless they change him up I don't think so. And I also wanna challenge why it has to be a lord. I think there are enough people from Awakening who became popular that they could branch out. And no chance in hell since it was so long ago, but if there was any sword user from Fire Emblem to be put in, I'd want it to be this guy:

Also, why limit sword using to FE? We can have Shulk, Takamaru or Isaac! All with a very unique style. C:

I'm totally cool with all them! I'm not against sword users in general, it just seems that Fire Emblem has so many characters, and it's always swords. Those guys are the stars of their series and all have cool and interesting spins on it.

I see what you did there

If we're going back that far and not picking a lord it should be the Angel of Death:

Lets just agree to disagree. If she used heel jetpacks it would be impossible to keep balance and keep fighting.

But fortunately logic is not allowed in smash and Sakurai could have had any sorts of different reasons to make samus fly. The attention to details on the heels is nice and it's why Smash is a cut above the rest but lets not kid ourselves he could have made equally detailed boots, jetbackpack, wrist laser wings, whatever.

At least ZSS looks infinitely better combat wise than her brawl counterpart regardless of her appearance.
 
I don't know much about Fire Emblem, but do know there are lance and axe users in the game. If they add any other FE character, I sure as hell hope it's a Lancer, because goddamn Lances are awesome!

not that there where any good ones outside maybe Henry
I Also noticed that with all the Pacman hype I completely forgot about geno. Poor puppet thing :(
 
Slightly off topic but I think it's relevant.

If you're a fan of that "The Smash Brothers" documentary that was released last October by Travis Beauchamp aka Samox then you should definitely check this out.

It's a Kickstarter for a full 2 hour movie documentary that will be released on Netflix about Armada, Mango's rivalry with Armada, and the rise of Dr. PeePee. Like I said, if you were a fan of "The Smash Brothers" documentary then you should consider pledging to the Kickstarter.

If you haven't seen the amazing documentary about the competitive scene of Super Smash Bros. Melee (which is technically the game that gave birth to the scene, not Smash 64) then you should go to www.youtube.com/eastpointpictures to watch the full 4 and a half hour documentary (preferably the Remastered version). It's really a great series and gives you a lot of backstory and insight into the players that made Melee what it is today (and some of which who still compete).

Just... thought I'd post it. Don't know if a separate thread is necessary or not... the thread I made on the documentary originally is far too old to bump.
 
if we're going GBA era I want Seth cause why not

King Joshua or bust.

Not enough blue haired lords.

If Sakurai picked Fire Emblem lords out of a bag, there'd be a good chance they'd have blue hair.

There have been 13 FE games, 11 original and 2 remakes. Of those 11 games, Gaiden and Radiant Dawn didn't have lords (though Ike and Micaiah sort of fill that role in RD anyway as Vanguard and Light Priestess, as did Alm and Cellica in Gaiden). Across the remaining 9 games:

1/3 - Marth

4 - Sigurd

So there are 13 Lords, and 9 of them have blue hair. If you include Micaiah, Cellica and Alm, it goes to 9-10/16 (Alms hair color is different depending on whether you go by the game art, the box art, or the Awakening art).

It sort of makes sense when you think about it. Blue-blood is a term for nobility after all, and blue generally symbolizes peace, as we discussed earlier when we were talking about the FD color scheme.

I think the problem is they could have designed the shoes thousands of different ways and they chose high heels. For example the soul caliber guys could write in to their story that ivys tits are so big cause they are solar powered and therefor need to have a maximum surface area for maximum power. It makes sense in the context of the story but it doesn't make it any less silly.
 
Nah, man. If we're goin' far back to get a non-lord it should be Finn. He's the only character playable during the entire story of the Judgral Saga while everyone else is busy dying and he has a bitchin' lance.

I would also accept Master Knight Leif, as he's a main character in another game while also being able to use any weapon type in the game with the only exception being dark magic.

That's quite the false equivalence. Shock absorbing heels don't need a ridiculous explanation. They looked like they made sense upon looking at them.
 
Alright, if people need to find Lists for items, assist trophies, reveal dates, pokeball pokemons, etc. It's in OP.

I'm tempting to do other lists but I don't know what to focus on.
 
I dont even like Anna, but it makes sense and would be better than another blue-hair.

Blasphemy.

“Trust means everything in my business. A couple of bad rumors could ruin a girl! Say, handsome...have you read the roster? What does it say about little old me? ...Wait, why am I even asking? I'll just waste you and check it myself!”
—Anna's pre-battle quote talking to Sakurai about Smash.

Actually, going back to picking someone who's not a lord, Elincia wouldn't be a bad idea (lance and magic user):
