Did you see the Smash Tournament stream during E3? You know, the one where they showcased the game using pro players and announcers and the like?

Why post in that tone? That was only one single tournament, not to mention under settings that don't showcase the actual game mechanics well. I'm talking on a more frequent basis, like weekly streams or regular progress reports. That E3 Smash tournament where a couple pro players played for the first time doesn't really show anything. If they want to instill confidence that this game can be played at high levels and have long legs, then they should more effective with how gameplay is shown, encompassing everything from game settings to who the person showing it off is.

I also find it bizarre how Nintendo speaks to its fanbase as if we haven't been playing their games for decades.

 

[PontyfaxJr]

I'm almost certain that it's unfinished. This build is really old and some of the items don't work properly - the Fairy apparently doesn't do anything at all, for instance.

I'd be really surprised if in the final version you can't mash out of the Beetle's grasp like if you were grabbed by a player.

I hope so. I rarely play with items on anyway but that one just seems crazy.

 

[georly]

The E3 Demo is pre-smash direct so it's quite old.

That's a safe guess as to when it was completed (based on the content included and such), but is that confirmed anywhere?

 

[SuperSah]

Give up, Sah. People will hate the game regardless of what you tell them.

It's just frustrating to see this mass hatred and disappointment at some very random lag issue.

I played the game four hours ago, with 4 players for a total of 1.5 hours.

It had not a single issue but one random stutter.

But yes, I'll give up now.

 

[Qurupeke]

Please listen to me dammit!

It's NOT the game! I played it earlier and it was faultless.

This stream is going to damage the 3DS games publicity. Also, the display is dull compared to real life.

Ah well. At least I know how it plays in real life.

Well, I can't believe that either is true till I play the game and see it with my own eyes.

 

[Grakl]

That's exactly how I feel!

 

[Banjotanooki]

Why couldn't they get the MEGA MAN!!!! announcer back? He was awesome...

I'm quoting this because I'm sick of seeing people ignore it.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

smash run is my guess too

 

[Makai]

Getting rid of DI might have been a good plan for Online.

 

[Kouriozan]

I have no doubt the game will be fine, no way Nintendo would release a game like this.

 

[hunnies28]

Hey GAF. I'm here in the Nintendo Lounge. Not in the tournament though.

Btw, 3DS ver seems to have major slowdowns when there's too much action on screen.

Wii U version is beign played with GCN controllers. Perfectly smooth so far.

Hit me up if you have any questions!?

I don't even want the 3DS game, but you're right in that this absolutely the first time we've heard of major lag issues with the 3DS game.

All other reports have been that it's technically flawless, vibrantly colorful, and smooth as butter.

 

[Crayolan]

how do i rhythm

I wanted to ask how does the game feel in a original 3ds? Is it too small?. I haven't been able to look through the thread sorry.

really? you want this game that isnt even out yet to played weekly?

haha holy shit

 

[Vashzaron]

That DK Final Smash should pretty much prove the lag is the game's prob, not by the guy being bad at the rhythm game but by how the FS music was uninterrupted through all that, ending way earlier while DK was still banging drums with the SFX being on sync.

 

[JoeInky]

That's a safe guess as to when it was completed (based on the content included and such), but is that confirmed anywhere?

It's just a few little things, like megaman having no expression on his face during his final smash in the E3 version whereas he actually scowls in the smash direct and the fact that Samus' Zero laser looks a lot better in the smash direct than the E3 demo (visually speaking).

E: Though I'm guessing that's not what you mean by 'confirmed'

if it makes you feel any better I'm near confident that it's due to interference

but I'd almost bet money online play will look like that in the final game

Hey, at least he's smiling about it.

I believes ya! They wouldn't showcase the game if it had that kind of performance issue. Are you still in the tourney?

Believe me, I share your frustration, but I have given up on debating about Smash 3DS already. It is becoming some sort of Brawl 2 (in terms of popularity among the community), but you know what? I will still play and enjoy the hell out of it, like I did (and still do) with Brawl.

but I'd almost bet money online play will look like that in the final game

If the online sucks, it will likely in both versions, though.

 

[Marcus]

you guys really think that nintendo will release a game of smash bros caliber if it had lag issues..?

get real

 

[IntelliHeath]

With his weight, and new found speed and reach (plus dat Bowser Bomb).

Bowser will easily dominate FFAs.

So GOOOD!

Yeah, you better give up. It's no point to defend the game because people already made up their minds about it. If they want to skip 3DS then fine with me. I'm going to pick up the game and enjoy it with friends who actually picked up the games.

 

[zroid]

Anth0ny is still our hero <3

(now make that loser's bracket your bitch!)

 

[RomanceDawn]

Inteliheath asked so this is what I look like. I'm giving the knee of justice. Hopefully it loads.

Edit: I can't do squat from my phone.

 

[Kouriozan]

Yeah Bowser was nicely buffed, I so want to try him now.

 

[SuperSah]

I wanted to ask how does the game feel in a original 3ds? Is it too small?. I haven't been able to look through the thread sorry.

On an OG 3DS, what I own, I thought it was still a good size. Honestly, nothing is hard to see. Even when the camera is zoomed out to like 100%, it felt very, very nice and was very visible.

The higher density screen helps a lot.

I have a detailed impressions I wrote up earlier I can link people to if they wish.

 

[Tan]

I've heard some people saying the framerate dipped/little laggy. Nothing this bad though.

 

[Makai]

A+

 

[SmithnCo]

This won't be an issue when the game is released and reviews come out.

Sucks for this tourney though.

 

[Tom Nook Sawyer]

Well, they did release Brawl

 

[Cody_D165]

see: Brawl

Spoiler

(I'm definitely still buying both versions because I can deal with lag tho, I'm sure local will be fine)

 

[OricWindstar]

Less people playing means less lag.

Spoiler

I'm super pumped for portable Smash!

 

[spindashing]

The hype train sure crashed here.

I'm still looking forward to the 3DS version nevertheless.

 

[Kansoku]

what is that in bill's hands?

Don't worry sah, there are still some of us on your side who understand. While you can't convert everyone, take solace in the fact that some of us are already w/ you.

 

[friskykillface]

Online will lag though

Pretty sure since some people have bad connections throughout the USA and the world

 

[PadWarrior]

Sah I'm still pumped for it!

 

[Kouriozan]

Right click -> open in a new tab did the trick.

 

[FUNKNOWN iXi]

haha holy shit

hahahahahahahahahah you clearly have no idea about other games that do this like a year before its released which builds confidence in its fanbase and lets the fans feel more involved in the game development process

hahahahahah holy shit

Ha.

 

[rekameohs]

I don't think anyone was going to muster anything out of the Wii's shitty online, to be fair.

 

[Exotoro]

hahahahahahahahahah you clearly have no idea about other games that do this like a year before its released

hahahahahah holy shit

Ha.

what other games do this

 

[nerdbot]

Why couldn't they get the MEGA MAN!!!! announcer back? He was awesome...

Prog had to step down from commentating over health concerns after doing Melee at EVO and D1 is rarely without him.

 

[Anth0ny]

All stages are laggy. Even battlefield

Also I found a sick strat.

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

Why couldn't they get the MEGA MAN!!!! announcer back? He was awesome...

Prog retired after EVO for health reasons.
