Super Smash Bros. for 3DS & Wii U Thread 8: Put mii in, coach

Yes. Hnnnnnnnnnnng.

Last nght I had a dream that jigglypuff was the next veteran revealed, and we found out at E3 that her up taunt was replaced by sing, and her down taunt was replaced by rest, and she had 2 new moves as a result. (And therefore 2 of her taunts were actually abilities)

Oh, also, popeye was an assist trophy.

Hyping intensifies.
Well, the first part at least. Not sure about the Popeye thing lol.

I just realised Mac is punching Marth in the dick.
Welp.
 
Rosalina isn't OP enough to substitute for Geno. Dat Geno Whirl.

Oh that's not just me!? Good to know. I figured my internet was being janky. I got disconnected 3+ times trying to play friday night.

I'm not surprised. In my experience, online multiplayer is always unreliable on consoles. I can't do more than a few matches in Soul Calibur without connection interruptions, and trying to summon anyone in Dark Souls is a mess. So I'm not too optimistic about Smash's online (though I'm certain it'll be better than Brawl's.)
 
Geno would be a good pick if Nintendo owned him

He's probably not worth jumping through very many hoops.

Plus, IIRC, Sakurai's policy with 3rd party characters is that the 3rd parties have to ask Nintendo to include them, so the only way Geno was getting in was if Square-Enix asked him to include him, which would probably never happen, since they'd probably want a big name Final Fantasy character like Cloud or Lightning in there instead.
 
I hope Smash online doesn't have as many Connection Errors as MK8, Jesus.

Yeah, it's Mario Kart Servers. I think they are underestimating the numbers of people that want to play online. Hopefully they are preparing for the best.

I'm not sure if it's correct but can you provide the article please?

Probably old, but was this discussed:

Yes, few days ago. Ness model was from fake Ness update, IIRC.

There haven't been any instances of that. Sakurai asked Sega and Capcom for Sonic and Mega Man, and Kojima wanted to see Snake in Smash Bros.
 
lol, are the characters overlapping with the UI on top?

Not only that, but it looks like they're going for 'Hey guys, this is the E3 Build!", but we probably already know the playable characters will be the same as the tournament.
 
Man, someone should make a post with every single fake character select screen haha. It would be amazing to see in comparison to the real one that we will likely see at E3.

Also, I think everyone should put their money where their mouth is and state emphatically whether they believe Ridley will be playable or not.

I say: Ridley not playable.
 
I think we'll get a shot of the character select screen this week, finally.

I don't know :/ We'll see it at E3 anyway, and I doubt sakurai wants to put up the 'real' character select up yet, and he almost definitely doesn't want to put a screenshot from the DEMO up on the smash bros page, either.

Marth has a dick?

Rosalina isn't OP enough to substitute for Geno. Dat Geno Whirl.

Rosalina is literally a goddess. For all we know the higher being Geno was sent by was Rosalina. It would make sense.

I'm pretty sure the only one who asked about getting their character in was Kojima with Snake. Though if you have a source that would be appreciated.
 
Weird how it's so close, all of a sudden. I felt like when Nintendo announced the dates for their E3 conference it was going to be a long ass wait.

It feels like they announced that stuff last year, and it's only been about a month! :( :( :( :(

Smash bros distorts time to make it take longer.
 
I'm assuming this is Nintendo's lineup:

Direct Stream
Treehouse demos
Show floor demo of their games
Smash Invitational
Smash Roundtable discussion
New 3DS game discussion


Am I missing anything?

What time is this all kicking off GMT wise?
 
At the time, people thought the E for All select screen was nonsensical and random, but the characters were actually laid out in the same order as the final version of Brawl. We might be able to get an idea of how big this game's roster will be (and maybe even how many characters each series will have) based on the E3 demo.

In the E for all, there are 6 characters max per row and a total of 3 rows, whereas brawl final has max 9 per row and 4 rows. I don't think anyone would have been able to figure that out. based on that screen. That E4All looks like it takes up a majority of the real estate. I think he did a good job of hiding total in final roster, and i expect the same this time.

The smash roundtable after the invitational
 
you guys are going to fill up this thread before E3 aren't you?

One can only hope. The invitational + the controller announced bumped it by another 30+ pages.

Any picture of the day can bump anywhere from a measly 3 pages if it's something we already know, like the jetpack, to something like 40 if it's a veteran reveal.

It all depends on what sakurai does this week, but it would have to be megaton after megaton, and i don't see it happening.

I'm expecting filler party.

Why reveal anything now when he can reveal it to a wider audience next week?

Why is that? I would imagine that we will see it next week, but anything is possible.

I can't wait for SmashDetective to figuring it out with next character screen since we know with Brawl.

So far, you are right on the spot.

you guys are going to fill up this thread before E3 aren't you?

And we will filling up your bear with skittles too.
 
I'm not sure if it's correct but can you provide the article please?

Sorry, can't dig up anything. Swear to God I remember reading an interview with Inafune or something where he said something to the effect of "Mega Man isn't in Brawl because I assumed that Nintendo was going to ask us for him, but found out that we had to ask them to include him, and by then it was too late."
 
Anyone ever compile a list of info we need to know at E3?

  1. Final Smash for Mario
  2. Final Smash for Link
  3. Final Smash for Olimar
  4. Final Smash for Zelda
  5. Final Smash for Pikachu
  6. Final Smash for Marth
  7. Final Smash for Fox
  8. Final Smash for Sonic (likely the same)
  9. Final Smash for Zero Suit Samus
  10. Final Smash for DK
  11. Final Smash for Bowser
  12. Mechanics of Villager's Down B (what happens when you use down b and already have a tree out somewhere else)
  13. General differences in character mechanics vs brawl (Link's new up air is an example, as well as DK's roll)
  14. How easy/frequent is it to fill little mac's KO meter?


If the following are playable at E3 (doubtful, since they're not in the 20 for the tournament), we need to know:
  1. Final Smash for Diddy Kong
  2. Final Smash for Toon Link
  3. Final Smash for Peach
  4. Final Smash for Sheik
  5. Details about Luigi's final smash (what does it actually do!?)
  6. Final Smash for Ike
  7. Ike's Side B (is it the same?)

Wow, we still dont know a lot of veteran final smashes. I assume this means they're mostly the same, otherwise he'd want to show them off, no?
 
List of info I want:

Box arts
Release dates
Additional Modes
Returning Modes
The UI
Extras such as trophies, stickers, music, stage builder etc.
Heaps of 3DS gameplay

And maybe, just MAYBE will Sakurai give us our first 3D screenshot?

Sorry, I should have clarified. I meant info people who are attending E3/Best Buy can get by simply playing the demo.
 
Just checked the release date and it says 2014. Which means It's probably be a march or something release date. But I'd much rather have it rather than sooner than later. I bought myself Brawl and the Wii the exact day Smash Bros for the Wii came out. Plan on doing the same for Wii U Brawl :O Played a little Project M at a local college and it wasn't bad, but it's not the Wii U published by Nintendo. =/ Idk tho All I know is that whenever Brawl Wii U comes out Imma get my hands on it. It's gonna be so bad ass lol.
