Super Smash Bros. for 3DS & Wii U Thread 14: Snake... had a hard life

Okay, I got the capture card hooked up. Amazing how easy it was to setup. It gives quality output with low latency. I'll probably stream Ghost Trick a few times to work out the kinks and get acclimated to streaming. I scheduled 3 days PTO for the release and I'm really, really, really excited.
 
Technically by making ICs only one character they'd be closer to their actual game since there's no tag mechanic there. Besides, seeing as Sakurai is willing to completely change characters to make them work in Smash 4 (removing transformations, nerfing Olimar's Pikmin, getting rid of Pokemon Trainer) it wouldn't be that out there.

I've always preferred SoPo so the change wouldn't bother me that much.

Just change captain falcon's moveset to be nothing but racing stuff. Get rid of falcon punch, kick, knee, etc. His game wasn't about punching anyway.

Their identity is what Sakurai created in melee, just like captain falcon's identity is what he created in smash 64, and ROB in brawl.

SoPo ruins them for me and I will lose all interest.

Japanese or US 3DS?

What time is the 3ds direct eastern time?

7 AM.

I love how I can apparently come across as insulting even when I'm actively trying not to now.


I thought the phrase "doing it wrong" was a pretty clear indication that it was just a bit of ribbing, thread's getting a bit soft for my liking.

"Doing it wrong" has condescending connotations in my mind, which is why I assumed you were doing that.
 
Is that confirmed? Because I honestly don't remember them saying anything about setting rules with friends?

Definitely confirmed, but I don't have a source pulled up at the moment. The online modes are:

With Friends
With Anyone

where For Fun and For Glory are under With Anyone.

In With Friends they said you can set all the rules however you want.

*Sigh* Now it's my fault that sarcasm doesn't come across via text-only communications? OK, that's fine...

Been something of an internet etiquette guideline since the 80s...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poe%27s_law

"8. Avoid sarcasm and facetious remarks.
Without the voice inflection and body language of personal communication these are easily misinterpreted. A sideways smile, :-), has become widely accepted on the net as an indication that "I'm only kidding". If you submit a satiric item without this symbol, no matter how obvious the satire is to you, do not be surprised if people take it seriously."
 
We've seen through screens and trailers that online with randoms has options for specifying 1v1, teams, and presumably FFA, so... that's a pretty good start, at least!
 
^7:00AM

Well, Nintendo is very well known as Family console so they don't want to lose those family friendly images that they had ongoing. How family would felt if your kid and you heard those people swearing and shouting. I can see why.

But Parental Controls

Why not make use of them >:c
 
All the friends I play games with moved away and we used to play WoW and Starcraft and Halo together all the time but don't have time to play games together anymore.

Voice chat has been around for years, and people have been hating on it for years. I said in an earlier post, "Yes, it's better to have more options, voice chat would be good for some people, but I don't care in the slightest whether or not it's included."

What if I told you I didn't care if Ness came back?
I don't want any cuts.
It doesn't matter what you want. It matters what the majority wants.

I have no idea what the majority wants, but it seems like most people I talk with, like voice chat in their video games. Multiplayer gaming is a social experience. In most cases, (Games like Journey being an exception), voice chat only enhances that experience.

My point stands. Nintendo needs to get with the program. It's 2014. Maybe, just maybe if Splatoon does well, they will figure out that online multiplayer games are important to a large demographic.
 
Fuck.

If I wanna watch the Direct live, I'll need to go to bed early.

But to see if the Direct's gonna actually have any Smash shit, I'll need to stay up to see the POTD and if Sakurai mentions it.
 
pffft "avoid sarcasm on the internet" I may as well not talk if I can't say sarcastic condescending stuff, that's practically all I do online and irl.


Also being from /v/ I'm somewhat conditioned to avoid smilies, so the thought of ending a sentence with ":-)" annoys me.


Just assume I'm being sarcastic 90% of the time from now one, and if you assume it and I'm not, then you're obviously an idiot :-)
I feel so dirty
 
Japanese. I will need some help navigating some of the menus, for sure.

The cool thing about Sakurai's menus is that they seem like they will be pretty easy to understand most of the time even in Japanese. I might end up importing so I hope that's the case for most of the menus.

Just remember to use a sideways smile.

Yeah, I'm sure I'll be able to navigate to stock matches. But I'll have more trouble if I get requests for any of the other modes.
 
There should be a prompt for the first time you start For Everyone that asks if you want voice chat enabled or disabled by default with some disclaimer for parents or whatever.
 
Because maybe adjusting them defeats the whole purpose of them?

Splitting zelda/sheik doesn't defeat the purpose of zelda. Splitting Samus/ZSS doesn't defeat the purpose of samus.

He already *CUT* pokemon trainer, because the whole purpose of him (switching between pokemon) was eliminated. Now it's just charizard (and maaaaybe squirtle/ivysaur).

Making it ONE ice climber... might as well be a mii with a hammer and ice attacks for all I care.

Being tandem was their ticket in. If Sakurai can't think of a good way to make the only iced-themed character in Smash unique, he should hang up his dev coat and go to bed
 
I bought it preinstalled. I normally like hacking stuff myself, but it's too close to release for me to risk messing anything up.

I have no interest in streaming (but i'm glad you are!) so I just bought a plain ol japanese 3DS (we should add each other, if we haven't already).

How much did that set you back?

Make it Ice man from mega man, then. I liked them as a couple, not as a dude with ice powers.
 
I highly doubt the Direct tomorrow will have anything as major as a newcomer reveal (I imagine everyone would have gotten a live reveal of something like that, if nothing else in the Direct is applicable for western audiences) but I can see some smaller modes or stages getting shown off or something.

You can get the non pre-installed ones for around $200, but the ones that have it set you back ~$400
 
I work full time and have a family and the few friends I have don't play nintendo games. So a good online system is ideal for me. I can hop on play some people, hop off go to work spend with family rinse repeat

It may have since Nintendo will show the final build to some people at PAX (media only)

My used 3DS was about 130 after taxes/shipping. Half the reason I did it was because it was so cheap.

I don't think that's confirmed. I think it's in the rumor/speculation bucket right now.

Unless you have a source?
 
That's actually a great idea. Except you just know that Bill or someone from the Treehouse is reading this thread RIGHT NOW and knows what to look out for now. And my dream is to one day work at the Treehouse, so... ;)
This is why I've been so keen to spread the gospel of Bill and Nate. One day I'll go to Treehouse and they'll welcome me with open arms. "Welcome Brother BGBW to the real men sanctum" they'll cheer.

When I said non pre-installed ones I meant the capture card just by itsself, my JP 3DS was the equivalent of $150 and that's because the UK is expensive, $200 would be paying way too much for a 3DS.

Ah ok, that's what you meant, gotcha.

Yeah, no interest in streaming. Only reason i'd do it is to capture footage per your guys' request, but i'm not paying 3-400 bucks for that :p

Pretty much speculation, but srsly what is the game that Nintendo is hyping up and its near release date?
 
Snapped this pic on the way to set up our PAX booth.

Hnnnnggghhh

Oh god, are you me? I usually don't let it affect me, but damn it's hard sometimes.
 
Isn't this direct Japan only? I doubt it will have anything huge, if so.

Can anyone list/speculate what would be in the direct tomorrow if it's not about smash?

It's not a '3rd' party direct, which means it has to have at least ONE first party title coming up in the next couple months.

Any ideas? Same as the last one + ORAS?

First party:
Pokemon ORAS

3rd party:
Monster hunter 4G
Final Fantasy Warriors
Tales of the world

Any surprises or mysteries?
 
Guys! What if.. What if all the characters are actually back. :0

Going to focus on Rosalina, Samus, Lucina & Palutena. With surprise appearances from some veterans (ゝω・) Going to keep those a secret for mystery fun.

Oh? Hmm. I wonder who'll end up being on top from those choices! Why must you do this.. I will find your secrets out! ...One day! :P

I would have done if the WiiU version was releasing later or if I actually knew whether or not I'd have good internet around the time the JP version releases.

Could possibly stream using the shoebox method, but there's no point if someone else has a capture card, just need to wait for the WiiU version till I can start making content.



Speaking of, maybe I could give away my elgato as a prize for the WiiU tournament seeing as I'm going to buy one of the new 60fps ones.
