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

So can anyone confirm if the competitive scene has already canned this game?

Cause I've been reading a lot of Brawl 2.0 from them since last night as though that is EXACTLY what the final product will play like.
Competitive scene can eat it.

That crowd won't be appeased until they get Melee 2.0.

It's just not going to happen. Might as well accept the game for what it is and have fun.
 
Oh yeah, anymore frontal star KO finishes like

I loved everybody's. Megaman, Little Mac, Greninja, Kirby, and Villager hitting the screen were hilarious.

I'm so sad right now.
Awww why?

Im talking about how toxic the community has been since they announced the invite people weren't just the top 16 NA players on smashboards

Nintendo proved them wrong, and it just continues
No no I meant why can't they be happy!

Haha, that's really funny. Greninja's frontal KO is pretty awesome too.
Yeah Zelda takes the cake though.

Do you have a link to it?
Hmm I can try finding it for you.

Oh no doubt I'm happy, I just wish people would give it a chance while its still a game in development.

If it comes out and people aren't happy with it? Then that's a different story.
Yeah, a chance should be given.

I am predicting a 40 character roster. I will eat a little crow if I am wrong. Trimming the fat will probably be Wolf, Ice Climbers, and Earthbound characters getting the boot.
*Hiss* No awful thoughts.

I don't think many Rhythym Heaven fans wanted specific representation. I thought a character was so unlikely, I'm happy to get anything. Plus, Chorus men are cooler than some random girl at least. Wrestler probably wouldn't have a great moveset.


Also, did I misread something, or is Mii really not playable in random online battles? Because that's kinda lame.
Nope not allowed to shame cause why deprive the world my Mii's adorable charm!

Better give up on a game in Alpha, seems like a logical conclusion.

Seriously, if people are already talking about this then this community makes the DotA scene seem like well-mannered folk.
Something wrong with their community?

Anyone able to catch some new songs from the footage? There was too much noise for me to make out anything.
All the songs and music I heard were the ones that we already knew. Hopefully I'm wrong though.

Ness is probably a keeper although I wouldn't mind them getting demoted to assist trophy status.
No artful thinking.

Dark pit was in the trailer as well though right? Seems like that would be a waste of a character. Not sure what to read into either inclusion.
I believe he'll make it as playable.
 
I do not know, I think Jigglypuff has the best chance of being cut if Mewtwo gets put into the game as well.
We technically had 6 Pokémon last time, we can have both Jigglypuff & Mewtwo.

If they haven't been cut up to Brawl, they won't get cut now. In fact, Jigglypuff avoided being cut in Brawl for the sole reason being that she's one of the Original 12, same for Ness. It's just that pessimist in you talking. They're all coming back, I'm certain of it.
 
Finally sat down and watched the Smash Invitational. Here are my impressions:

+The stages, while a bit basic, have some interesting qualities. I liked how the rafters in the boxing ring could come down and crush other fighters.
+Villager looks like he could be a lot of fun, which is great because I really want to use him a lot
+Greninja looks amazing

-ZSS's side B smash looks crazy over powered.
-I think they obviously limited the assist trophies. There were a lot of confirmations we never saw and we saw that pong thing three times.
-Mega Man did so badly, but maybe he has some special niche or playstyle that we didn't see

So you watched the Finals then. Agreed, she was just using that thing to zone out Kirby for about 2/3 of the game. Kirby could only get damage in when he closed the gap and got a grab in or played some air game.

Little Mac looked like a terror in the first game though. His punches seem to do lots of damage and look very satisfying to land. I'm betting he'll be a favorite in "for Glory" mode. As for Mega Man, I don't know. His play style would probably be more effective in 1v1 matches than in FFAs, since a lot of it is based on spacing and firing distance shots. Everyone is up in each other's faces in the first few rounds. The hitstun from his Neutral Attack would probably be effective against light characters in 1v1s though.
 
MGSV isn't coming to Wii U
There's no point for a repeat appearance
It'd be offputting to have Snake back when you have classic mascots in the game (Simon Belmont would be a better addition)

Not a terribly impressive argument

And still has nothing to do with my original question: was Snake confirmed to not be in this game?

What's your argument for Snake's inclusion in Smash Wii U and 3DS?

And to answer your question, if you don't know then we don't know. No one was allowed to ask Sakurai about characters during the Roundtable.
 
Kind of disappointed by some of the players for the Smash tournament, the ones who stayed away from the fighting, it's a sound strategy but didn't like it =/

New mode where you have to attack some in at least 3 seconds of the last hit otherwise you explode.

That's pretty much what they were asking for with a free for all. What did they expect to happen, y'know? I mean, with a very competitive group of people, you know there will be some that go for optimal strategies, even if they look boring. It's not always great to go after the person staying off to the side, especially if you can make it by racking up score.

At the same time though, I see what you mean. I wish the community could have put on a better show in terms of making the game look exciting and fun. It sort of reflects negatively I guess.
 
That 60fps footage is incredible. The game runs so smoothly and looks simply beautiful! I'm really hoping they bring some kind of demo setup over here to Japan as well, although I'm pretty doubtful. :(
 
Anymore Smash news for the rest of this week?

Maybe, maybe not.

Also I don't know if it was brought up, but at last year's E3 they revealed two newcomers in the Direct and one more later on. This E3 they revealed 2 newcomers at the Digital Event and one more later on. I think that's kinda funny and I wonder if it was planned to be the same.
 
Funny thing about the tournament was how bad some were with items. Like one was standing next to the bumper and they didn't even pick it up and chuck it. They were giving away kills to the point that it was rather infuriating to watch.
 
I liked the Invitational, punk bitch players aside. Really enjoyed seeing Zero Suit Samus kick ass. Hopefully regular Samus is good too. Boxart is really nice as well.

That "Holiday 2014" date though. Ugh. Really hope it does come out this year. Already decided that the PS4 can wait until next year, but I still need a solid release date for Smash before making a decision about the Wii U.
 
The Japanese release date still falls under Summer, so there's that. It seems like they were planning for an international release going by that. I wonder what changed their mind.

Yea, they didn't really use the items effectively. And it seems they didn't implement the master ball there.
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 :p
People will not make the final judgement based on the demo. They just pointed out what's there and not there and basing an opinion on that.
The Gamersyde floor footage is really something.

Obviously 60fps is nothing new for Smash, but seeing the HD models, backgrounds and quality of animation coupled with the high framerate really hammers home how special this game looks.
Awesome, dynamic background for the CSS. Sonic seems to be doing a kick out of his dash spinning attack, looks kinda cool.
No CGI trailer for Pacman?
This is what we got: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dVz-2VuAYlY
 
I suspect we may soon get a PotD showing off Kirby's hats for the newcomers seeing as both Pacman's and Palutena's photos show them off.
 
Does anyone know where one could find a list of the final smashes confirmed from yesterday's tournament?

I for one was very disappointed to see that Fox and Link's smashes haven't been improved.
 
Eh I'd trade Pac-Man for Snake. I think it says something that I'm still desperate for this game despite not being terribly impressed with the newcomers.
 
Umm the 3DS is going to have the same roster as the Wii U version. We have known this since the initial reveal.
So is it going to be hard to see everything or will they have an arrow button to show more? From the preview it seems that it can only display 23 at a time. If two pages, then that would make sense.

That's a demo version, both versions get the same roster.

The character's icons will get smaller.
The problem is I do not see it. I think you will get two pages and an arrow to go back and forth. The icons are pretty much reasonable size as shown.

Closest I saw was Georly's post here.

But basically we pretty much just saw that most of them are the same, other than ZSS and some we've known about from the PotD.

wasn't mr game & watch confirmed too?
Kinda. He made an appearance in the Pac Man trailer, but didn't show up on the Smash web site. So implied, but not confirmed. He only showed up as an age comparison with Pac Man, no in game footage/info.
 
If snake makes it back he better say kept you waiting huh. Will be a huge missed oppurtunity without that.
I dont care if its kiefer or david voicing him. But I just hope that if he got cut that someone has a similar moveset.
But if the leak was everything no one would fit that style.
 
So I was looking at videos of the 3DS version, are we really limited to 23 fighters and 11 stages? Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uyn6o_5va98
If so, then Wii U version may be worth it just for the fact you get double the roster.

Those... are demo rosters.

All of the characters you're worried about getting cut were not announced for brawl until after release either. Just wait til sept 13, we'll know everything by then at the latest.

ZSS kinda inherited Snake's Final Smash.
 
Is anyone else still mindblown about the image quality of the CGI reveal trailer for Greninja and Charizard? Greninja looks like straight-up claymation.
 
And with it E3 brings us a glorious influx of morons and people incapable of doing basic research and reaching informed conclusions.

At least we got Pac-Man, who I'm liking much,much better than I thought I would.
 
ZSS side B looks so cheap, I want her to be one of my mains but not with that shit lol
I really really hope we get Shulk, he'd be an awesome character. Also, the 3DS version comes 2 days after my birthday so I know what I'm getting.

Wow, that's lame. So much for Fierce Deity Link or a Great Fox bombing run.

Be curious to know what other people think of this.
 
I guess that rumored roster list turned to be true.

Yeah, I was going to write off the GK rumor, but no one could guess another Kid Icarus character. Looking forward to playing with the Chorus Boys.

Since the 3DS version can do 24 characters icons on screen at a time, I hope the roster is 45 (minus one icon for random and two to navigate pages). That would be awesome.
