Super Smash Bros. for 3DS & Wii U Thread 7: How Can My Smash Brother Be This Cut

The way that's worded seems to imply it can grab other things like items. Imagine Midna grabbing a bat and then whipping it at you lol. Or a Bob-Omb.

Midna's such a good character :D

It's going to be so disappointing if/when you can't think of any original gifs anymore. =(

Pic of the day. The Assist Trophy, Midna! This is the 3DS version. She's going to grab and throw things all over the place. Her uncontrollable, whimsical nature remains intact.

The Smash Direct may have been too good of a thing :/
Still love Midna though
 
the smash direct re-hash continues ;____;

I literally expect this to happen until mid-may or so when we possibly get another veteran (metaknight, ice climbers, Wario, someone who isn't unlockable). Then more of that veteran + explaining the direct until E3.

Also, what if the only unlockables are the 4 original, and everyone else is available from the start :p

I hope so. That would be interesting since it seem to be easy to dodge her grabs.

Aww nuts, it's even that bad since most of the picture came with extra informations that are not explained in the trailer.
 
Oh, by the way, men. Great news. I got approved for E3, so I can be Smash-gaf's official SSB4 correspondent/ambassador.

The state of SSB journalism has been absolutely atrocious (seriously, literally one, ONE journalist asked Sakurai arguably the most important question regarding the game. How the hell is that even possible?), and I hope to rectify that.

Plus I have an HD camcorder.

This is great! I'm not sure if I'll be getting in this year yet or not so my hope is resting with you.

Unless Ridley is revealed playable at E3 which I severely doubt I need you to ask a question regarding him. Basically ask if the team or Sakurai(who ever you get to talk to) is aware of the constant Ridley arguments in the Smash Bros communities. Then ask if he was ever considered for playable status and why or why not.

If I can just get a little closure and more insight then what Nintendo Power 08 provided I think I would be content until the next game.
 

It's amazing how good the 3DS version looks. Even more impressive is that it's magically 60fps. So insane. Good job sakurai and team.

There are only 2 games in the foreseeable future that can make me stop playing smash 3DS and those are Majora's Mask 3D and Monster Hunter 4. Unless majora's mask comes out this November, I'll be playing smash through 2015.

Dat Sakurai magic at work.

I'm surprised 3DS AT's aren't poorly modeled or extremely low-poly. I'm impressed.

Actually it's 30fps for Assist trophies and pokeball pokemons for 3DS; but I'm glad that the battles are 60fps on 3DS. It's going to be so much fun to play with 3DS but I'm still concerned about wifi plays tho.

Naturally, the models would look good on 3DS because they started with Wii U models first then downgraded the models to 3DS standard and add the art filters. They are doing fantastic jobs with everything around the models between Wii U and 3DS. I'm so eager to see more 3DS stages and see what they had in store for us.
 
Judging by KIU, online will be fine.

Not the same type of game.

I think it's more of a will online be serviceable for a fighting game. The 3DS isn't exactly groundbreaking when it comes to its hardware. Even in the Direct Sakurai suggest using a wired connection for the Wii U version, the 3DS being wireless only is a slight concern.
 
more players? I don't think there will ever be a hard time finding a match in the wii u version :P it's not going to be brawl. also lol more chaos ? nah

No, He meant that KIU had more players and more chaos than Smash yet the netcode is pretty good. SSB 3DS had less players and have one of best netcode team to work on the netcode, which is Bandai-Namco.

SF4 and DOA both worked fine.
 
I guess so.

Her features seemed feline to me, plus feline was a nice contrast to link's wolf/canine.

They've always officially called that form an imp.

Midna: “Um, listen, Link. Can I ask you one last selfish favor? Regardless of what my reasons may have been, I once abandoned this world… I left behind the Twili. Those who had followed me, those who considered me their ruler… Even now, as they remain here, suffering, they believe that help will come for this world… But if they were to see that the only help for them was a hideous little imp, don’t you think they’d feel let down? It’s only for a little bit longer… Do you mind if I continue to hide as your shadow while you’re in human form? I’m sorry…”

She's certainly "chibi", but she lacks any cat features. No tail, no cat ears, just short.

I'm not disagreeing :) You guys are right. She's always been a cat to me, but you guys are totally right. I think some of her sighs were cat-like in my mind, and she reminded me of the cartoon cats that use the dogs as like a bed or something.
 
I don't think you can analogize netcode to a bar that fills up as you add things to the multiplayer including the often mentioned but rarely defined "chaos" factor. Kid Icarus multiplayer has things that do push it harder than Smash, but also has things that make it easier to mess up and for no one to notice. Predictive movement doesn't work out super great for a fighting game, for example.
 
No, it was in a full 3D space, had an extra two players, and was incredibly chaotic. It's more than reassuring.

The hitboxes didn't need to be as accurate, and melee attacks auto-targetted. If i recall, ranged attacks didn't need to be that accurate either. It's very different from a fighting game. It's more akin to an FPS's netcode than a fighting game. It can use local data and predictive information to determine if a shot or melee attack hit. A fighting game can't really do that as much.

That said, based on bamco's past work, i think it'll be fine.
 
We know the Smash 4 theme?

We don't really know much of anything about the music in the game outside of that screenshot of the My Music menu of Skyloft.
It was the music used in the first reveal trailer, and the music used for the first minute or so of that link. I'd have just written it off as incidental trailer music, if it wasn't being reused in that medley.
