Super Smash Bros. for 3DS & Wii U Thread 8: Put mii in, coach
- Thread starter IntelliHeath
- Start date
Exactly, so long as there aren't blatant negative press about the game we will definitely see it grow and form it's own niche within the broader community.
People are definitely giving a chance and people need to stay open minded about these changes.
Compare the transition from Street Fighter 2 to Third Strike to Street Fighter IV.
The Street Fighter community faced nearly the same fallout until Street Fighter IV came back and brought back key members who actively gave it a chance.
Don't discourage people from wanting to play and enjoy SSB4 and don't ignore the things it does right while singling out it's shortcomings.
I really do hope that people give this game the chance it deserves because this game deserves a supporting community.

He faces a winner, so Zero or PPMD, later. It's not part of the actual event itself.
Man, lots of people freaking over an unfinished game. Sakurai said like 3 times they're still balancing and fine tuning the game. From what I've heard today, they're focusing on debugging the 3DS version first. I don't put much stock into what first impressions they have yet, although it's clear some characters are a bit too strong. I still liked what I saw overall.
Yup.
This whole discussion has actually turned my opinion around. I'm feeling really positive at the end of all this. hahaha.
I can't wait to meet more of the Smash and FGC community at EVO this year. 2014 is truly the year of Smash

I don't know you, so I can't judge your Mii.
And, yes, they're in the 3DS version.

Lawd, the fake leaks look better than this.
Honestly, when it comes to DLC character, I'm interested in how this whole amiibo thing plays into it. Like, with Captain Toad - they've already confirmed there'll be amiibo interaction there. So sell a Captain Toad figure that does whatever with Captain Toad, and also unlocks him as a character in Smash. Great way to bundle content, reward the hardcore Nintendo fans, AND spread brand awareness.
Will it be streamed or something?

I'll be interested to see what you think of Palutena after some time has passed and you revisit her trailer. I just did so tonight, and while I was cool with her reveal -- she was my No. 1 most wanted character, after all -- it only just now really clicked with me. She looks GREAT. And I like how all of her moves are based on the powers you could use in Kid Icarus Uprising. I never considered they might reference those, but it makes perfect sense -- they're powers provided by the gods, after all.
i think my issue with pal despite being the greatest reveal ever is that she seemed the least polished out of everyone she seemed to lack a lot of the polish that i saw in the other models and gave me the impression that she is yet to be completed and still in the early-mid stages of development im hoping they add a lot more expressions to her model and sakurai gives pal the same attention to detail as the others

Maybe it's part of the Treehouse or something; they got so many hours to fill up....
Didn't Sakurai say Miis were banned from online play? That's a real shame if so.
Damn it, this is gonna bug me all night...

As in "Heathcliff"
Well, since few people in smash irc said that there are few/some moves that are shown in Palutena's trailers are more likely coming from Customization moveset opinions. So I'm curious if people would figure out which moves would be more likely to be a part of Palutena's default moveset.
That would conceivably allow them to use the figurines as keys to unlock the DLC characters on your friends consoles (for that gameplay session) if they wanted to. I don't think they would but from a marketing and logistics perspective that would be really nifty.

Miis are only available with friends to "avoid bullying."
I got the same impression looking at the pictures. Something is just off about the model that I don't feel like putting into words right this second. More development time needed probably.
Dude, I'm just so pumped that everyone I wanted is in this game. That's totally a dream for me. Coming into this, I wanted Little Mac, Palutena, Rosalina as newcomers, and Ike and ZSS to return as veterans. We got even more than that, so I'm on cloud nine. Anything past this point is just a bonus.
Here's something strange I noticed...
Here's a shot of the 3DS character select screen (couldn't really see one with a good angle):
And here's the Wii U version:
Notice that the characters don't appear in the same order. Samus comes after the Zelda characters in 3DS, but not in Wii U, most of the characters toward the end of the roster are switched around, and Greninja comes before Pikachu in Wii U for some reason.
Wonder why that is.

2 Questions
- Anybody think it's weird they went with amiibo rather than amiigo?
- Is the current pic the PotD or is there still one yet to be updated tonight?

I really dislike that orange background in each character's box.
Weird, but I can see his point. It wouldn't exactly be good have hitler, satan, etc. be online fighters.

Maybe it's because Yoshi is only in the 3DS demo for some reason.Here's something strange I noticed...

EDIT: Also Toon Link.
It's been so long I didn't even remember! D:

Honestly, I'm happy with the decision. I don't mind someone using a Mii that actually looks like a person, but it would get annoying to fight people online who found a way to make their Mii's face look like a penis.
Ya that was super silly, but still interesting to see those players day -100 feelings on the characters.
haha ya that too.
Probably already posted, but I'm starting to see some answers coming through, so I might as well link to it. AMA with invitational players.

So, I know I'm super late and it's probably been discussed to death already, but why the hell wasn't the pac-man trailer revealed in front of the 3000 raving Smash fans live after the invitational instead of quietly to a small room of press? That was an awesome trailer, but a horrible reveal.
That's not what my post was about. It doesn't explain the random shuffling of the other characters.
I'd say so.
Even though they're saying some of those techniques are absent, I'm still gonna try some of them tomorrow :'(.
For Smash.
Huh, how long did they have with the game?

I just meant that Brawl's roster jumped around depending on who you had unlocked, maybe something similar is happening here.
Just tuned in again at this thread
And saw a lot of backlash from previous posts...
I think we should not make the final judgment based from the demo alone. With Nintendo listening to suggestions of Smash players, who knows how will the final build will unfold. I'll just wait for my actual copy to see how it turns out. PS: I love all Smash games equally, and not that a competitive player

Just not seeing what would cause Greninja to switch with Pikachu in the order, or what makes Villager shoot from the middle to near the end of the list

No, you're right. Looking at it, doesn't seem to be a pattern like Brawl's, where it would just push slots over.
Seems like this is the chance for people to voice their concerns.
Hopefully the people fortunate enough to be there take advantage of it.
Although, since many will probably have a few hours or so of the game under their belt by this time tomorrow, I wonder if they're going to set up some formal system to allow the community to voice their concerns and offer suggestions.

how many more character reveals should we expect (both returning and newcomers)? 5?10?
