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

I semi-called it! LOLOL Ike Pic!!!!..... with a Stage and Marth.... lol
I'm getting hyped, so GAF what do you do to pass the time?
Being here all weekend can't be healthy at least for me :(

I think I saw you on Mario Kart 8 but I'm not sure tho.

Read Book, Catching up with your backlogs (Games or Movies), going out and do something.
 
I thought edge-guarding was done away with already?

Nah, edge hogging was changed, but that's only a part of edge guarding. Edge guarding is anything you do to keep the opponent off stage, be it jumping off to finish them, or sniping them with projectiles as they try to recover.

So it's just different this time.
 
I wonder what they'll have for the initial default music for this stage? I mean, it's going to be pretty hard to top the opera version of the FE theme in Brawl. I'm sure they'll have that in there too, but they'll probably have some new arrangements. I'm excited!

I am having my butt kicked in Street Fighter 4. I am planning to begin NG+ in Dark Souls II tomorrow as well.
 
Probably a Dark Dragon. Series is full of 'em.

I was thinking about that at first, but that seemed extreme. This *IS* smash bros though, so maybe!

Medeus would be great, as marth himself fought him.

I'm reading and have uni graduation but still the hypee...

You mean online? I played a few rounds in the tournament.... KartGAF is TOUGH
 
Songs I'd love for Colesseum:

Path of Radiance: Congregation of Ambition - Dat Percussion!

Radiant Dawn - The Devoted - I always associate this more with Ike than the theme they used in Brawl

Radiant Dawn - Battle of Pride - Best percussion track in the series, perfect for a Colosseum battle

Awakening - Mastermind - Bad ass song filled with dread.

Awakening - Monstrosity - Perfect for an action filled game like brawl. I love the organ!

Awakening - Old Battlefield - The finest song in the game. Represents both of the intensity and elegance of FE

And the most obvious choice: Sacred Stones - In The Colesseum - Duh.

The stage looks so cool, but I'm so so so disappointed if it is a walk-off. FD for that stage if so, but I'd love to see what kind of platforms it has.
 
With the news that FFXV won't be at E3, I've realized that this is really going to be a Nintendo focused show for me, by a pretty wide margin.

Nintendo: Smash 4 up the wazoo, Zelda U, Pokken Fighters? Majora's Mask 3D? New Super Metroid?

Sony: Beast Souls. Maybe The Last Guardian?

Microsoft: Platinum game? A real Rare game?

Multiplatform: MGS V

Jeez. Some surprises would be nice, but I'm not expecting them. I'm not even sure if those question marks above will even be there...

Are you me? We literally have the same taste in games :p
 
This is why I am crossing my fingers for the (unlikely) chance of a "3DS stage pack" DLC of some sort for the Wii U. I don't like the idea of the console version of Smash Bros. not being the definitive version.
I hope this never happens. I don't like the idea of one version being gimped because some people can't deal with the idea of the 3DS version having exclusive content.

If there is a 3DS stage pack for the Wii U, there should be a Wii U stage pack for the 3DS.

I don't want it to happen either. The hardware between the two is so different that this isn't a simple matter of 'porting' the stages over. They almost have to be redone entirely, save for some AI stuff. Literally every asset will have to be redone. Not going to happen.
 
I wonder if we're going to hit the 200 pages this weekend.
Will the hype bring the meltdown on this thread?

Also... should we get ready to GAF being down on E3?
 
Question is, which dragon most looks like the statue in the picture?

Edit: Closest match is Jahn / generic War Dragon IMO.

Yeah, looks pretty generic. Kind of small for any of the major villian dragons. Doesn't look like a wyvern either.

Also, call it a hunch, but I suddenly felt like we'll get Lucina for smash. I hadn't felt like this before, but something clicked. They gave Marth his manlier looking Shadow Dragon/Mystery of the Emblem look, and I think Lucina is probably way more popular than Chrom is. We'll just have to see, though!

Three pretty blue-haired Lords, all in a row.

A War Dragon would make a pretty cool stage hazard/boss.

Are you kidding me? Why would Square do that?!?
I'm all set for Microsoft failing as power usual. Only thing that pisses me off is that I'm stuck with those clowns for my Birthday. Siiiiigh. As much as I want more Conker and Banjo-Kazooie I'd rather the series stay dead until reliable developers can be trusted enough to create the games.
 
So what are the odds they replace one of Luigi's taunts with his MK8 death stare?

0%

Unless the mario kart team is as insightful as the pokemon company, there's no way they knew the luigi death stare would take off and therefore inform sakurai in a timely manner that it would be big. :p
 
It's not smash bros fault that they decided to make the latest lord(s) have blue hair and be pretty and use a sword. Blame Fire Emblem.

Oh I don't care about the fact they're all sword-using blue-haired Lords, more Fire Emblem representation in Smash is a-ok with me - especially considering Smash is the reason we even got the Fire Emblem series in the West to begin with.

Where's that list of all the Fire Emblem lords and their hair colour again?

Quick google search w/ 'fire emblem lords'

I haven't played most, so I don't know if these are all lords or if any are missing. (other than chrom/lucina)

It would only be worth it if everything goes into slow motion and the camera zooms in on him.

Anyone know who the turquoise-haired one on the far right is? He looks rad.
 
You callin' Ike pretty?

Well there is the implication that Ike is
nope not going there.

Marth, Sigurd, Seliph, Leif, Roy, Eliwood/Lyn/Hector, Eirika/Ephraim, Ike, Micaiah, Chrom/Lucina. Of those, Roy, Eliwood, Leif and Micaiah don't have blue hair, the rest do. Of course, it's hardly fair because Marth is in 4 games (of which 2 are remakes admittedly). Also there's more not mentioned that are in that picture (Alm and Celica for example).

That's Ephraim from FE8 - Sacred Stones.
 
For someone who has never played a fire emblem game, where would be a good place to start?

Do they work like Final Fantasy titles, in that you can jump in anywhere in the series?

Mah man Ephraim!

Hands down my favorite lord. I love lance users.

God, sacred stones had possibly my favorite spritework ever. It's the only reason I beat it, since I used to hate fire emblem. God bless the ambassador program. The ambassador program is literally the only reason I bought Fire Emblem awakening. Sacred stones opened my eyes to the greatness of the series.

They're all loosely connected to one another and there's a few that are direct sequels, but for the most part their stories are independent and you can jump in wherever. Awakening's a good one since it's pretty easy.

Awakening's a good place to jump in, which is why it's very appealing and the best selling game in the series.

Otherwise, start with Fire Emblem 7 (it's on the JP Virtual Console for Wii U, only a matter of time before it's released in the West).
 
Lol exactly what I was thinking, just add Bayo 2 and X to the Nintendo column :P

Yeah, already have them pre-ordered. For some reason I don't really want to see more of those games. I just want to play them. Time would almost feel wasted on the Nintendo Digital Event thing if they showed another X or Bayo 2 trailer.
