E3 2014 Super Smash Bros Impressions (Best Buy Smashfest / Invitational)

Why would they do a reveal at the round table if there's no stream? I mean, maybe, but that just seems a little odd.
They do this all the time. Give the press a little something to work with. It's where they've announced Brawl and showed concept art of Skyward Sword when it was in the early stages of development.

I hated how the scarf guy was just avoiding HB at the end, such a cowardly strategy, he didn't deserve to win :(
He and everybody watching knew Kirby stood no chance in a sudden death. I was not happy with the result.
 
I'm a little disappointed at no character reveal to top it all off, but I can't complain about those finals. They were hype as all hell, and I am quite confident in Smash 4's potential as a competitive fighter.
 
Amazing tournament. You could see Hungrybox download scarf bro in real time. His methodical approach and spacing on the second stock was great.

Finals were the highlight, followed closely by the celebrity match.
 
even without any new announcements now, this "E3 nintendo day" was the most fun I had from watching out of everything I have seen so far
 
You guys got a scarf wearing anime character playing keep away all the way to a sudden death finals and you want a reveal on top of that.

NeoGAF ain't ever satisfied.
 
I missed the entire thing, FUCK.

Sues me for going for a b-day dinner/going to see neighbors.
Not sure if you already saw this, but this might help :)

Some of the fights from the tournament tonight! All split up for your guys enjoyment!
 
They'd better do one of these every year. Maybe with different games, too. Mario Kart could be fun. Splatoon. This was the most fun I've had watching an E3 event ever.
 
Should have gotten a reveal right at the end. PSASBR did it with Big Daddy, Smash should have done it. Think of the hype. They'll never get that chance again. :(
 
beware

but doing so he became extremely repetitive and predictable...scarf guy was able to handle him quite well because of that,he knew what moves he was not going to pull off..the only time he pulled out the side b hammer he got a KO if i remember correctly

No, he pulled it out another time and got punished for it. Kirby's specials are slow and punishable. That's why no one really uses them. You'll do better being "predictable."
 
Why would they do a reveal at the round table if there's no stream? I mean, maybe, but that just seems a little odd.

Sonic the Hedgehog was revealed during a roundtable during Brawl. There's precedent for it happening. But I agree with everyone else I think it would have been better suited after the invitational.
 
Nintendo could have capped off an absolutely stellar day had they revealed a character here.

I think they're going to reveal something at the roundtable in front of 25 journalists instead of 200k+ people watching on a stream and thousands there live.
 
Nah I think a character like Marth or Little Mac, with good ground speed and decent range can get some whiff punishes in. Kirby was just out zoned today.

Yeah Kirby doesn't really have the mobility to handle characters like ZSS, at least not easily.

Put it this way, if that were Jigglypuff instead of Kirby Hungrybox would not be having that problem.

There was so much to see even just from Kirby learning to roll past the whip, then Samus predicting it with the grab, to Kirby predicting the grab and feigning the roll. So good.
 
Really surprised there's no reveal. End of the tournament would be the perfect moment to show something big. Nonetheless, this whole thing was awesome. Lots of new stuff was shown, I got a good feel for the gameplay in SSB4, and things got pretty intense in the end. And, we know more stuff is coming from that round table. There may not be a reveal now, but there's gonna be one by the end of E3.

This is a fantastic E3 so far.
 
No reveal at that crowd is an off decision

Yep they did great but this was a no brainer.
They always fail at the little big decissions like this. same when they showed the wii in 2006 at e3, the crowd was going wild at the nokia theater and the smast trailer come a day later on a roundtable. Just imagine what snake would have done to that theater. Huge missed opportunity on both.
 
Best thing to come out of this tournament was the fact that the guy sleeping in the audience, who didn't even make it halfway through the tournament, was wearing Ash Ketchum's hat

That's some true devotion to your character right there
