Super Smash Bros. for 3DS & Wii U Thread 12: Gwah, hah. Welcome to the Bowser's game.

It blows that we can't use Miis online. I want to see what people come up with. GAF needs a Mii only tournament.

You mean "online with anyone", right? I thought Miis were allowed when playing with friends online.

EDIT: Never mind, Heath answered my question. :lol
 
There is no way they will delay the Wii U version. Nintendo has nothing this winter except for this title. Nintendo gathered some momentum after MK8, but they would completely waste it if they let Smash slip to 2015. It's not like with Brawl that was already planned for after the holiday season and during a time when Wii was doing ridiculous numbers..
They got captain toad lol
 
- Half of the people who signed up for the tournament won't show up.
- People who don't frequent these threads will sign up as well, but sole of them won't show up either.
- Despite all of that, there will be too many people that do show up which would make the tournament last forever.

Assuming this is done within the first few weeks. The TO would have to deal with all of that.
Actually that's slated for January.
Not in NA and Japan.

When it first got delayed it was planned for December 3rd (at least in North America).

But other than that I agree, it's a pretty different situation.
 
If I had to guess (or had to design it), I would say the person trying to use it drops it when hit. The next person has to hold it for the full time to get the effect.

more than just "hold it",i think you'll have to stay still and "use" the flag to raise it.
 
Those who are expecting a delay are expecting Nintendo to shoot themselves in the foot with a bazooka as opposed to the magnum they were previously using. A Smash U delay to 2015 would squander any momentum that MK8 gave the Wii U.
 
I can see Smash getting delayed, but they are really wanting this for Christmas. I can see it being December instead of November though to work out the issues. November for Captain Toad and December for Smash. That way they do not have two big games on the same day (looks at Zelda and Mario).

I don't know if I would consider Captain Toad a "big game."

Captain Toad isn't nearly as big of a release as Smash Bros, though. But in the case of ALBW & SM3DW, both were on different systems.

I could foresee that Pokemon and Smash have a potential to be released on same day, just like Zelda and Mario.

I agree, but Nintendo is pushing Captain Toad enough for his own game. I do not think Toad and Smash will get the same release date because of it.

I can see it happening as well. Nintendo needs to learn to space out their releases.
 
I wouldn't mind if Wii U was delayed, November like people are expecting seems...too soon. I want more time for the 3DS Version to breathe, also there's Hyrule Warriors and ORAS which I want to give time and attention to.

Pushing? They kinda just dropped it and let it sit. We haven't gotten any mainstream coverage or even information about the game outside of E3.

It's just kinda... there.

So you want Nintendo to destroy the Wii U's life support after it showed signs of improvement?

It's my number 3 game this fall, so it's big for me! Smash > Hyrule Warriors > Captain Toad.

I'm a zelda nut, so normally a zelda game would always be number 1... but smash has link and zelda, too, so technically it's also a zelda game in my mind :p And it's a better zelda game than hyrule warriors.
 
It's a small thing, but it'd make the Mii customisation even better if weapon skins could be chosen separately as with headgear, instead of being tied to the outfit. Though that'd probably overcomplicate things, it'd be nice to have an extra layer of control.
 
Ok, time to think of cool battle ideas, reminiscent of 'all pokeballs on high' back in 64/melee (where the limit was like 6 at once).

Please feel free to join in! This is the kind of stuff I do when I'm bored and don't want to play competitively at all. It becomes a game of chance and some skill, but not much! Try to come up with ones that can only be done w/ the new items (like fairy bottle only healing you if you're above 100% for a healing mode)

  • Outlive the rest - 10 Stock, S-Flag on high, 300% - any stage
  • One Hit KO - 10 Stock, Beetle on High - Final Destination
  • Safari - 4 Stock, Cuccos, Honeycombs, Pokeballs/Masterballs - any stage
  • Heal up! - 5 Stock, Food, Fairies on medium, 300% - any stage
  • Natural Disaster - 4 Stock, Gust bellows, Ore club, Warp Star, Lightning Bolt, Freezie - Paper Mario Stage (or Mario U/Pilotwings on Wii U)
  • ARAM - All Random, All Mii - Final Destination

Taken from other Gaffers:
15 stock, sudden death mode, items set to S-Flags and Stars only, on Palutena's temple.
S-Flag, Pirate Miis Only, GameBoy Stage
 
What's this delay talk again?

*Checks Smashbros.com*

Ok good...no delay :)
As far as I can tell, Ars Technica thinks Smash Bros. for Wii U will be delayed because it's already got the longest time difference between date of announcement and date of release. So, because it's taken so long, it will clearly take longer.

Then again, I really only skimmed the article, if that. I should probably read it before totally dismissing it out of hand, but I really don't expect further delays at this point.

Smash 4 was announced without a trailer, unlike every other smash bros. It was announced prematurely to help sell the Wii U. If we count from initial trailer to release, then no, it's not the longest. I mean, wasn't it announced while KI:U was still in development?

That's quite a huge leap to suggest it will be delayed because of that.
 
Ness confirmed!

If I remember correctly, Smash Bros Brawl was first announced to soon enter development in around 2005, I think. Without any trailer, just like 4.

Oh no, guys! Miis are using Mario's hat! Does this mean Mario is disconfirmed? D:

Seriously, the leaps of logic people will make when a Mii is wearing Meta-Knight's mask...
 
Ness confirmed!

If this is fake, it's very well put together. Ness has his own unique color like all the other characters, and I've never seen that particular render before. Why is he listed before Lucina though? Don't new characters usually show up at the top left?
 
We can, just not with strangers.

Speaking of which, everyone is friends with everyone here right?
I'm not friends with any of you. Mostly because I dislike every one of the people in this thread.
Just kidding, <3

But yeah, my friend list is pretty empty. Unless I already have some of you added from Pokemon friend safari shenanigans. I pretty much don't want to add people unless I know them personally or I'm about to play against you right now. Otherwise the friend list just gets filled up and cluttered. Depending on how Smash 4's online works, having the list full and cluttered maybe a good thing. I'll wait and see.
 
if super bash sisters takes off i'm gonna start an opposing tournament

STUDLY SMASH MEN

it will be exactly what it sounds like.



Actually I might do it anyway, it's not like the two can't coexist.
 
I had a dream last night that Snake was coming back. It's the first video game dream I've had in many, many years.

Not saying I can see the future. But I can see the future.
