If the title is a pun, I would guess it has more to do with marketing than what Sakurai calls the games internally.

Hell, Brawl had regional titles for no apparent reason.

[Mr. Smiley]

Even when getting KO'd Wii Fit Trainer keeps a proper posture.

You're awesome Intelliheath!

 

[peanutbutterlatte]

I don't think the individual characters is "referential" of anything, it's a commonly used 4th wall breaking trope.

 

[Durden77]

Thanks for postin all those! Damn almost all of these are gold. Out of the two I wanted to see, Marth's is great, (he looks so defeated haha), ZZS's is meh. About the only meh one too.

 

[Blues1990]

I only notice it now, but it's pretty funny that Zero Suit Samus's breasts were pressing against the screen.

 

[LuFel]

Smash KOs

OMG!!! LOL!!!

 

[Jagsrock]

I love how pikachus hat starts to fall off when he hits the screen.

 

[mrhej]

It would be funny if the screen cracked a little bit when they hit the screen.

 

[ffdgh]

Luigi's screen ko amuses me the most. Rosalina's sorta creeps me out.

 

[IntelliHeath]

Yep, I really like that. His google and headband slipped off as well. Georly had GIFs of those.

Thank you, can't wait to see Charizard

 

[Boss Doggie]

Oh sweet, 3DS has that too!

 

[Beelzebufo]

Don't some characters have multiple ones? I've definitely seen two variations of Pikachu.

It's the same, only with a different angle

Pikachu has the accessory having its own physics

They have same pose but sometime they would landed differently. I have seen Pikachu landed on screen sideway, or upside down iirc.

LOL at Greninja screen KO! Reminds me of a lizard sticking to a glass window.

 

[Golden Slumbers]

64: Fox, Link
Melee: Fox, Sheik, Dr. Mario
Brawl: Fox, Diddy Kong, Olimar, Sonic

For SSB4 I'll probably go with Little Mac, Greninja, Pac Man, Samus, ZSS, Fox, Olimar, Sonic...man there are so many characters I can't wait to play

Yeah. I'm SUPER hyped for smash bros. Palutena was a little underwhelming, but everything else was sweet.

 

[MrSaturn99]

hahaha oh my god that luigi one

Also, random, but apparently this was the song that plays in the Pilotwings stage. I guess it's time I finally dig out the copy of the SNES game I bought a year ago.

 

[Zomba13]

I dunno why but those screen splat KO gifs are getting my hype gland all worked up.

 

[Mr. Smiley]

I think the reason why I find Greninja's hilarious is because of his eyes. I can just hear him say "*sigh* goddammit" with that expression.

 

[SuperSah]

I like the fact they kept all the screen KO's intact on 3DS and Greninja/MM's FS animations.

However, impressions regarding screen sizes is really letting me down, considering I own an OG 3DS.

 

[Spinluck]

Max said that the game is sub 60fps with drops on the 3DS version?

He also made it sound unplayable with the slide stick.

I didn't notice any of these problems except the stick issue. It's a bit sensitive.

Then again I only played one on one, and didn't have a problem finding my characters. I rather liked it. But idk, maybe it is more problematic with 4 players.

There are so many conflicting opinions lol. Some people said the 3DS version felt like it was more polished.

As weird as it is, I imagine people have agendas on both sides.

I have no problem with the 3DS version being a little worse unless the Wii U version slips by quite a bit.

Well, it was just a demo. I imagine it was a pretty old build.

Sakurai said it'll run at 60fps. This is one dev who sticks to his word.

Bingo.

Well done, got me in a matter of posts.

 

[Ryce]

The Japanese version is releasing Summer 2014. The American release date is beyond Sakurai's control.

 

[Dr. Buni]

I have no idea why people assume the 3DS version will be worse than the Wii U one. I have been reading mostly good impressions about the demo, seems like the game not only runs wonderfully, but the controls are great too. The only downside is the limited soundtrack, but that doesn't really affect the gameplay of the game in any way.

I think the reason why I find Greninja's hilarious is because of his eyes. I can just hear him say "*sigh* goddammit" with that expression.

Greninja is funny indeed, but when was it confirmed to be male?

It's voice sounds like Stitch and Gollum, both male characters.

But that pink alt...

Objectively worse control options, multiplayer options, and graphics. What's not to get?

That was the only thing I was scared about, and it seems to be alright even if it take time to get used to.
I was getting both version anyway, can't wait to play a new Smash game.

Isn't October 3rd still technically summer?

 

[HK-47]

I think Zelda is my favorite KO screen. Something about the expression on her face.

 

[Beelzebufo]

Nope!

 

[Professor Beef]

June/July/August is Summer. September if you wanna be nitpicky, also.

 

[SuperSah]

Do people forget Smash controls are customisable?

 

[Wreck-It Ralph]

To be fair, they only said they were aiming for summer.

 

[Spinluck]

Wait wut? How do we know anything about the 3DS version having a limited sountrack?

This is a demo..

Is it referring to the two tracks per stage thing?

It is said that Autumn beings September 23.

Close enough!

His japanese voice is quite masculine. But like Jigglypuff, I'll just assume I don't know shit.

I imagine so.

That's not close at all haha

 

[Mr. Smiley]

I don't think that'll help those who have circlepad issues, considering that's the only chose they have on 3DS. As opposed to Wii U having probably damn near 6 controller options with custiomization.

 

[DaBoss]

Do people forget Smash controls are customisable?

The only problem most people have stated is the circle pad which is inferior compared to the sticks found on the control options for the Wii U version.

Everything else seemed to be fine.

 

[SliceSabre]

That's not close at all haha

First Day of Fall Sept. 23rd

JP 3DS release date: Sept 13

You are wrong.

 

[Mr. Smiley]

Then again, you could use the D-Pad in Brawl with sideways wiimote. So 3DS could have that.

I mean, it's something.

It really pissed me off you couldn't switch movement to the D-Pad on the Classic Controller. Analog sticks for 2D movement... eh.. no.

 

[Gleethor]

The Japanese release is technically summer, but just barely.
