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

Dont forget that bizare ..dance.. that she can do with the echoes

Its like Dark Samus still didn't figured out how legs work :p

She's secretly a Jabberwockee. Under their mask is Dark Samus

Also worthy of mention is the particular way in which the echoes are created.

It's amazing and completely ridiculous, but still somewhat menacing due to how inhuman the rest of her is.

That was my favorite moment in the game. I had to pause and contain my hype after I saw that. I would want her playstyle to use her clones to the fullest. Having them pop out and do moves for her before dissipating. Actually, ironically enough, I'd be kinda fine with her being to Ice Climbers what Wolf is to Fox. Or since some people are of that mindset Ike to Marth.
 
The one character I'm really surprised are not in Smash yet is Toad. Of course, we don't know the full roster yet, but Toad's likely not getting in because he's still Peach's attack.

He's one of the most important Mario characters and has been playable several times in the mainline games.

The assist trophy indicates he already thinks she is a unique character. It also is a pretty intensive assist trophy with three unique attacks, so he's clearly willing to put effort into her.

Oh well, I'll just have to hope for the next Smash game, or maybe DLC.

Toad would be easy to add by making a minor cosmetic adjustment to Peach's movepool to use Toadsworth instead of Toad. From there they could develop a move pool based on speed and surprising strength.

But Toad is sort of like Bandana Waddle Dee. Important as playable characters and important side characters in their own series, but bogged down by being part of a generic species and without any unique name or appearance.
 
Eggman opens the gates for two Capcom and two Namco reps. You're better off bringing in another third party rep if you're gonna lie.
 
Just played Smash 3DS.

Pretty neat still. Still the same problems I had with the slider before, but I was playing on an OG 3DS and not an XL so that might have been the issue.
 
If we ever got Toad as a character, would you care if he was based around Captain Toad? Or would you want him to draw more from his various platforming games?
 
That seems more apt as a down special.

I was going on the assumption that would be a down special (since she obviously can't use morph ball bombs).

I'd personally make her down special something more like a dive bomb. She tends to dive at samus quite often which causes a shockwave on the ground.

Also, I'd make the tentacles have a smaller area of effect to make it fit being a smash attack.

Almost cried when I saw her as a AT with those awesome moves :(

I still cry :(
 
She could have unique specials, but mostly the same normal attacks as Samus. So she'd be sort of a clone, but not really.
I'd give her some unique normals too. Up-smash should be the phazon pillars from Corruption, down-smash should be the tentacle shield, her neutral aerial could be the orb surounding her during her final Echoes battle, and her down-aerial should be a dive-kick version of her weird shinespark. Also wouldn't mind if her dash attack was the Boost Ball.

She really has a lot of unique attacks to pull from.

Her alternate costume could also be the awesome transparent one from Echoes.
She never uses them in her battles though. Only the Boost Ball.

She also never uses the Grapple Beam, so I'd prefer if she didn't have that.
 
He apparently slept through the last two DKC games(?)

Bahahahaha, Zing!

Yoooo, that transparent one was sexy as fuhhh!!
 
That would imply there isn't a Rhythm Haven character, but Smash Run seems to heavily imply there will be, along with already reasonably credible leaks we have.
No, it would just mean that the RH character is a unlockable.

While I could believe Eggman being in the game, being the last newcomer to hype it prerelease is very...fake.

Then again, the last newcomer to hype up Brawl was Olimar. Olimar is great but not "the last character hype" great.
 
Toad could be a speedy ground character with surprising strength. One of his specials could be lifting the enemy over his head and gaining a speed boost while carrying them. His jumping ability would be terrible, and his reach pretty awful. Maybe share the turnip pulling special from Peach, like Ike and Marth share a special without be clones. And it makes a lot of sense on him.

Bonus: He'd be the only character who moves faster with an item in his hand.

Why not a divebomb that causes the phazon to appear when hit the ground (and just the phazon if used in the ground)?

I still cry :(

What else does Nintendo have to offer for Holiday 2014? I dare you to type Captain Toad with a straight face. DKCTF was able to get delayed because Mario 3D World existed and they had a shit opening for their 2014 lineup. There is no way Nintendo is going to allow Black Friday and Holiday shopping to pass by without a big name like Smash Bros. I'd suspect if it really came down to worst case scenario, they launch it rushed and work on patches

Captain Toad

but yeah lol if Smash is kicked to 2015 they really are shooting themselves in the foot
 
Ryu & Heihachi Mishima, because it's the closest we're gonna get to Tekken X Street Fighter any time in the near future.
I know Sakurai can change his mind, but pretty sure he said he wasn't a fan of the idea of putting in characters from a fighting game.
 
Dark Samus could be a Terrorblade clone that can create clones of herself and phazon possessed illusions of opponents that disappear after a few seconds or a few hits.

Or she could be a stage control character that can create pools of damaging phazon that also powerup her attacks whilst she'd standing in them.

Final smash would cause a phazon seed to impact the stage and cover the entire stage in phazon for a period.

There's really a lot you can do with her besides a straight up clone, and it'll be a shame if both Ridley and Dark Samus aren't playable, atleast give us one metroid villain ffs.
 
You can't really say that anyway, because Yurop.

Europe simply doesn't rely on Holiday shopping like the U.S. consumer market does. Black Friday is THE retail event in America. Miss it with your biggest game of the year, and say goodbye to any hope of profitability for the region.
 
A Metroid villain like
Sakamoto o ho ho ho

His final smash stops the entire game for a 3 minute monologue cutscene that you can't skip.


Sakurai didn't want to make SSE cutscenes all over again because this time he had to do Sakamoto monologues for every character.

Zero Suit Dark Samus will happen before Ridley
Mostly for the sake of variety. She has her tentacles, but she also has shockwaves and stuff.
Both ways, she has many moves that could be used :p
 
I totally agreed with this! This is why I dislike the Miis' moveset.

Or have it so the sword + Shield was a wiimote + nunchuck, incorporate the gamepad into their moveset, and for lols even have their final smash be like whipping out the gamecube controller and wavedashing to victory.

Actually using a wiimote + nunchuck for a sword and shield is not a bad idea....

We haven't seen all the weapon/outfit combinations yet: maybe the sword Miis could have a Wiimote, the brawler Miis can have Power Gloves, and the gunners could have Wii or NES Zappers?
