In case you didn't see it, Tom McShea of Gamestop recently played a build of Smash Wii U and gave people 5 reasons why more of the 'same' is good.

I'll list them for you.

1. Six years is a long time. (Referring to the length of release between Brawl and Smash 4).

2. There's nothing like it. (Playstations All Stars, Teenage Mutant Smash Up, Onimusha Brawlers are poor copies.) Also an argument against changing the formula too much.

3. Balance Perfection. (This one is the most lol.) He claims that Smash 4 is built for people who love balance, specifically saying that Nintendo is making this game for the Fighting Game Community. Obviously, the FGC, and specifically the Melee community would disagree at the moment. =P

4. The wrath of the scorned. Talking about how Brawl was bad, and this is Nintendo's opportunity to fix it.

5. Consumer demand. People like Smash for what it is. AKA, not making a Power Stone clone for the next Smash.

And I just realized after typing all of that, there is a Gamespot article that he also wrote on the subject. Doh. http://www.gamespot.com/articles/five-reasons-super-smash-bros-doesnt-need-to-chang/1100-6421185/

I'm pretty sure PinkFresh and D1 didn't even want a Smash Bros 4 sticker on them at CEO, if I'm not mistaken, because of how much they detested Smash 4. It was hilarious.

I'm pretty sure D1 has been one of the most positive people in the Melee community regarding 4. Gonna need to see some back-up.

I like the Mr. Saturn. Think I'll rock that awhile until Bandana Dee becomes available in some fashion.

That's perfectly fine. ^^

wow that freezie is adorable man!

It is! And it's perfect for Freezie KO. XP

I remember watching that. It was more like D1 didn't want to talk about Smash 4 until it comes out. CEO was the week after the invitational, and I'm sure he's under some sort of NDA with Nintendo. I doubt he detests Smash 4.

This is a D1 interview right after the invitationals. He's completely unbiased towards Smash 4, and it shows in his interviews/streams. I'm not saying the dude loves it, but he's been an advocate of promoting and welcoming Smash 4 to the competitive scene. A couple of days ago he said he's been in contact with Nintendo regarding the Smash scene.

D1 has gone on record of wanting to work with and for Nintendo. Even if he's not happy with something, he is not going to go out of his way to trash this game. He's going to stay objective and try his best to keep a good relationship with the Big N.

Herp.

I see. He's remaining neutral. Him and PinkFresh seemed to be on the same page but that was probably just me. If he's been in contact with Nintendo regarding the Smash scene, its probably only for events, no changes to the game whatsoever ;_; but we shall wait and see for the glory!

Gotta keep it democratic. Or is it Republican? Someone help me!

super fighting robot my ass

fuck a final smash

get that low tier shit outta here

That hate is strong Anthony. Use it wisely when you send your opponents into the shadow realm.
 
Speaking of a person who did heavily criticized Smash 4 after he played.... =P (Not Anthony, HugS)

Yeah, HugS was way more critical than D1 if I recall correctly.

As far as the scene goes, here are a few reactions from some well-known players:

D1 - Working with Nintendo to foster community around Smash 4
Mew2King - Will definitely play Smash 4
Armada - Will definitely play Smash 4; said he probably won't play Peach
Hungrybox - Committed to playing at least for a year; wants to play Jigglypuff if she's not terrible
Mango - Recently tweeted something like "if Smash 4 is as good as Mario Kart 8, then we got this"; said he has interest in playing the USA USA version of Mario
Zero - Will definitely play Smash 4; eternally positive
PPMD - Committed to playing Smash 4 for at least 6 months; didn't see the depth he wanted, but expressed hope
HugS - Critical of game pace, and expressed doubt there would be enough time to implement changes
Ken - Committed to playing Smash 4; Got Lucina hype (obviously)


The most common critique were landing lag and movement options. Pretty much everyone said it was gorgeous.
