Super Smash Bros. for 3DS & Wii U Thread 10: Against the Odds, We Choose to Hype!

No R.O.B. was very important to the history of Nintendo if not the industry himself. He was how Nintendo git stores to stock the NES after the crash. He also has a unique moveset. He may be the most unique character in Smash as he did not originate from a videogame but as an accessory to one.
I seriously love ROB so much. He's probably in the Top Five Veterans I Want To See Next.

I think the others would be Snake, Wario, Wolf and Ganondorf.

I trust my Brawl main Mr. Game & Watch is in the game.
 
"Super Smash Bros. will be at San Diego Comic-Con in full force! Join us for the first-ever Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS tournament, tips and tricks live-streamed straight from the show floor and even a few special surprises"

Special surprise!? Probably just 'winner gets to face off against ctzero! winner of the invitational!'

The surprise is Shulk
as an assist trophy.
 
Right? How could you not adore his cuteness?

ROB's reaction to everyone wanting to axe him:

He then asks Intellegent Systems to make Pikmin 3, which is hilarious. The guy sounds like one of us, really.
...shit, this would be awesome.

though honestly at this point you'd probably take that, wouldn't you?

Micaiah's never getting anything :(
It'd be that bittersweet mess of good feelings and bad ones like when Lyn was an AT in Brawl.

...maybe she'll get like a trophy?

"Surprise! Super Smash Bros. for 3DS has been delayed until Winter 2015. Please understand."
 
If IntSys made Pikmin 3 they'd make us feel even more guilty about each unit lost by giving them each a personality and elaborate backstory.

Well, if the FE team made it and not the Advance Wars people. Are those one and the same?
 
ROB helped Nintendo convince retailers to stock the NES when they were only interested in toys? That's awesome. Would love to know more, since it sounds like ROB effectively saved the modern videogame industry.

I can imagine an Austin Powers-like situation where, at the end of a day, the game would show you random interaction between the pikmin, and how they react when they learn that you let some of their friends die

Probably not all of the team members, but I know for a fact some of the key people worked on both franchises.

or they could pull a Shadow Dragon and have no supports :P

Then Advance Wars style pikmin 3 would add incredibly cheerful conversations at the ship's water cooler at the end of every day on the subject of Pikmin carnage.

I don't really want to see him cut but if Sakurai asked me which character I want to see in Smash, R.O.B. or Takamaru. I would be selfish prick so I would take Takamaru.

WOAH WOAH WOAH

MAGNUS ASSIST TROPHY HERE : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wBphKbeMXws

Yeah, there are some people that posted it in few smash thread during E3, but can't blame anyone since E3 threads were very hectic. I'm glad that Magnus is an assist trophy so people can stop supporting him as playable character.

Advance Wars always weirded me out in that respect. You're conditioned to see your CO as so "cool" and "charming" while faceless units fall by the thousands on the battlefield.
 
Whoa, this thread is moving way too fast for me to keep up with the limited NeoGAF time I have! Has there been some big news, or is it all just discussion about Masked Man's Little Mac column translation (shots fired by Sakurai!) and music we want in?

Regarding the column, HELL YES. He said exactly what I wanted to hear. Smash should be about fun above all else, and considering every Smash game to date has been very unbalanced (including and especially Melee), this shouldn't piss anyone off who already calls themselves a Smash fan, including Melee tourney players. A focus on a cast of unique and interesting characters before overall balance is literally nothing new for this series, and while I would like Smash 4 to be as balanced as possible, I don't ever want it to come at the cost of having interesting characters with movesets that are faithful to the source game. I really love Sakurai's design philosophies, and this column just makes me even MORE hyped for Smash 4... if that's even possible.

Thanks for doing the gods' work, Masked Man. :) Can't wait to see what you translate next - but don't bend over backwards, of course!

As for music, if I had to choose just one track from any represented series so far... god, that's hard, but I'd probably have to go with the Wily Castle theme from Mega Man 5, or maybe the one from Mega Man 4:

Yeah, I’m fine with clones that can actually be justified.

Pichu - the baby pre-evolution of Pikachu
Falco - Fox’s best friend and fellow pilot
Young/Toon Link - a child version of Link
Roy - a fellow Fire Emblem swordsman
Dr. Mario - Mario… as a doctor
Lucas (not really a clone) - a fellow psychic boy from the Mother series
Lucina - a descendent of Marth who passes herself off as him

Captain Falcon is a race car driver with a tokusatsu-inspired move set, and Ganondorf is the magic-wielding Great King of Evil. It just doesn’t make any sense.

Yes
Maybe
No
No
Yes
No
Eh

Dixie > Ridley? :o

Edit: just finished ALBW. Hilda would be cool.

Ew no
Ravio with ALBW items or Yuga would be better choices

Are there any more huge versions of the recent screens, like this one?

That shot make Robin look REALLY good

What if ROB was replaced with Takamaru?

Yes?

No?

Honestly, NOOO
Don't want to say another swordmen/ninja=not unique, but ROb is ultra unique

I've also always liked him and Mr. G&W a lot

WOAH WOAH WOAH

MAGNUS ASSIST TROPHY HERE : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wBphKbeMXws

Yeah Magnus and Dark Samus seem to be the new ATs that have very fleshed out movesets (alongside returning Saki so far)
 
I didn't see this Little Mac column translation, or any Sakurai translations outside of the one about Lucina and Robin. Link, please?
