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

No, not at all. But for whatever it's worth, I think Ness is pretty much 100% and Lucas is 95% coming back. Given that we've seen Mother items and stuff, at least one will almost certainly back, and I see no reason to cut either of them.

I am hoping. I had not seen anything so I am concerned until a reveal.
 
Oh dude, I hadn't even seen that you were doing this. That's so cool!

Yeah, if you or anyone else can think of some stuff that can likely be answered by people playing the demo, let me know! I'll check them off as they're answered by trailers, tournament, people playing the demo, etc. I'm only accepting footage/screenshots as evidence for hats and anything NEW like an item, assist trophy, or final smash!
 
After Ike was confirmed I'd be shocked if anyone was cut besides Snake, and even his chances are at least 50-50 imo. I'm still not sure if I believe the second leak but I'd be fine if it were true. If no characters were cut and the 13 leaked newcomers are legit we'd be up to 50 characters, there's no way there won't be a new DK newcomer seeing as it has regained its status as one of Nintendo's tentpole franchises. I want K Rool, but Dixie is likely, and Cranky is the wild card.

The way I see it the worst case scenario is 50 characters, Snake, Squirtle, and Ivysaur cut and 14 newcomers including a new DK character.
 
I'm excited that someone will finally have impressions of the game. Especially those who have viciously played the past games.

Yeah, their input is the one I will value most as it will impact how long this smash bros is played or if people will just revert back to melee again.
 
I just realized there's going to be so much footage of smash bros now thanks to Best Buy, the tournament, maybe the 90 minute discussion and the Nintendo treehouse streams. So hyped!

So much off screeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeen! :p But yeah. I expect tons of dissecting! I have aton of questions that need answered.
 
Not being able to customize your matches they way you want if you're not playing with friends is my main gripe about online mode. I don't have any friends that has Wii U's and 3DS's, and we don't meet up all the time due to work/school, so I'm pretty much stuck playing 2min matches with no item swtich, or hoping that someone on gaf is playing.

What are you talking about!? All of NeoGAF are your friends!

Speaking of friends, I hope it's easy to see who is online and hopefully it's easy to invite/join as well. Having to get on gaf, message people, and coordinate, then sit and wait is no bueno!

Oh god, yes. That was such a pain when we were doing the Brawl tourney shortly after release.

I haven't tried playing mario kart 8 with friends, but it seems like no one is complaining. Hopefully smash has decent ideas, tournament support, friend lobbies, something like that. I plan on adding a ton of you guys, but i'm way too lazy to do it now.

Also, I'm totally not great at smash, so I hope people here will be willing to either put up with me or teach me how to play better! :p

Our Smash tournament and demo impression thread is still in progress. I'm still working with designer to make sure that we would provide a good OT for demo, impression and tournament. It would be awesome if we can gathering all impressions in one thread and discuss about Smash engine itself.

Keep gathering the questions and I will post all in specific section.

I can't wait for these days to come :)

Same here. I'm being honest here. I'm tempted to make a fun clan war for Mario Kart GAF by invading their thread with SmashGAF and challenging them for team tournament.

SmashGAF vs MarioKartGAF. 6 on 6.

I wonder if it's possible to assign people to specific teams. I think I have few volunteers ready. It's all for fun :P
 
Need to see if we can get volunteers first. I believe that we have two so far but we need good players.

I'd volunteer but i rarely have free time. I'm usually only available on weekends and weeknights after 8 or 9.

Any possiblity of wavedashing returning? Guess the hardcore players will find out soon.

Wavedashing requires directional air dodging, which appears to be gone, so, very very low. I also don't want it back.

Uh yeah, I'd be ready to fight for SmashGAF

Was sakurai's tweet posted yet?

トーナメントは、開発中のものを使うことになります。不具合などあっても、笑って許しておくんなまし。

Reddit translated it to:
The tournament will use a product that is still in development. If there are bugs, please laugh and forgive me.

What if you are on both teams?
 
Just a joke on overlap between Smash Gaf/Mario Kart Gaff

Sorry, the joke just went over my head. XD

I don't care if smash gaffers preferred to be on MarioKartGAF team if they want to. It's just harmless competitive between MKGAF and SGAF if people actually respect that.
 
The chaosZero leak was 1 month before initial planned release, but 2+ months from actual release.

Yeah well, everything had probably been set in stone at the time and it was simply polish time, even though they kept on cramming a lot of stuff until the end and still a lot was left on the cutting floor.

Remember that Sonic's addition was a rushed mess and he was already playable by October '07, a month or two for a game the size and scope of Smash is crunch time.

I'm not denying that :O They're almost definitely in crunch time for smash 3ds. There's no way the game isn't feature-complete by now. Wii U probably is too. The gap is probably for polishing (not creating) art assets, particularly in stages, as well as whatever unique modes/features the wii U one has. I also wouldn't be surprised if they want to incorporate bug fixes/balance updates based on early smash 3ds play/data.
 
One of the replies to the tweet posted this:
"The tournament is using a alpha/beta build. So if you encounter glitches, I apologize."

And yes, it was posted earlier.
While that translation essentially means the same thing, it's not accurate. That Reddit translation is direct and accurate. I feel that the Twitter one is a fraud who rewrote what Google Translate gave. :/
 
Something from Something Awful:

I wonder what other amazing ideas we're missing from the world of five-year-olds?

It's incredibly old gif from NSider forum before they shut it down but change those names to Smash Fans and Smash 4.

God, watching all of these luigi gifs on the internet makes me REALLY REALLY hope that smash 4 has a replay/youtube feature. I don't think the appeal will be as large, but being able to gif the best moments in smash bros will be fantastic.
 
The Palutena pictures, if you're familiar with them.

Speaking of which, E3 is coming and I think it's about time to put the #teamreal tag in my avatar. Can someone link me to the originals made by Neorice?

What are the chances of Nintendo/Sakurai announcing more than 2 characters at E3? Like returning characters and new ones?

We've had 3 newcomers last year. So I guess we'll get minimum 3 this year as well. Plus who knows how many veterans.
