Man, part of me is glad that I played Xenobalde with Japanese voices. The other part is sad that Shulk will have English voice in smash

The english voice actors are amazeballs imo. And I usually play with original voices only.

Every part of me is the opposite. I love the English VA in Xenoblade.

But you can probably switch the voices to Japanese. At least in Melee you could, just by changing language from the menu.

 

[maxcriden]

Maybe Sakurai himself is the leaker and now he's sitting at his desk like:
"Mwahahaha, y'all know nothing!"

I know it sounds absurd but I did wonder if this whole thing was staged. (I doubt it, but it did cross my mind. I guess he's not Kojima, though.)

The English is one of my favorite things so far.

 

[Kouriozan]

In a series known for attention to detail and lovig affection of a lot of Nintendo's history, Ganondorf's moveset stands out.

Also, different people complaining about different things, I presume.

Yeah that makes sense.
Still like hitting people in the face with Warlock Punch

Just saw the Picture of the Day.

This is old, but i found it really interesting, what people in Japan wanted for smash 4:

They are getting a lot of what they wanted... But I still can't believe they want Roy in.


Who bets for Mewtwo, K Rool, Dixie and Bandana Dee?

Well they will get Roy probably. Just not the one they want.

That's actually proven to be unreliable and has appeared in this thread multiple times.

I think there are only 4 slots left. Mii Fighter needs a spot somewhere, probably down at the bottom after all the third parties.

iirc MF occupies Random, at least from what I heard

 

[peanutbutterlatte]

How hard is putting Event Mode in really? Just a scripted Smash match practically.

 

[SuperSah]

Yeah I too am worried about Event Mode. It will probably be in the Wii U version though.

I'm a little worried that the 3DS version will be lacking in content. I feel Sakurai is overestimating the interest in Smash Run. You are basically dividing the multiplayer component and I can see some people playing it a few times and then completely dropping it for standard multiplayer matches. We don't have anything new in terms of single player modes outside of some minigames that function similarly to previous ones. Of course, most of my time will be spent in multiplayer matches or smash battles against the CPU, but I can see the 3DS version getting criticized for not having enough things to do.

Not big enough. Needs Ridley.

 

[Kouriozan]

Grass was on the list to spawn as an item in the leaked screenshot of training mode. It's appearance seems to be from Twilight Princess.

That's intriguing indeed.
Maybe it's just there to waste time of the poor guy picking it.

 

[Clov]

Yep, have to agree with this. I loved the English voice acting in Xenoblade; the accents just made it seem so charming to me, compared to a lot of other JRPG dubs.

They couldn't beat Norio Wakamoto as Metal Face in the Japanese vocal track though. Then again, who can?

Yeah, I said I wasn't worried because it's Sakurai's game after all, there is going to be a lot of content and depth to each modes.
I assume you can play each Smash Run special matches just like in Kirby Air Ride too.

Or maybe there's a Secret Seashell! If you collect a lot of them, something good is bound to happen!

It's already more confirmed content than I was hoping for it to contain. And I'm pretty sure there's even more to it.

 

[SuperSah]

Exclusive content that gets played for 2 months until the Wii U version comes out vs 2 characters that get played for 6 years until Smash 5 comes out. Easy choice.

I didn't know you determined the period of time we play Smash Bros. for.

 

[Kensho]

Another poll (I don't use these to predict anything, I just find them interesting)

What are the favorite Smash characters for japanese people.

http://nintendoeverything.com/japanese-poll-determines-most-popular-smash-bros-characters/

It seems like it was taken from people on the street honestly... Also to note, all the favorites are from 64

 

[maxcriden]

My question is, what does the lock icon represent if it is unlocked from the start?

I guess just that more content is yet to come in the mode, and that it isn't all unlocked yet.

I'm pretty sure I've seen two Smash Run videos by completely different Youtube channels (I think GameXplain and that "Mario's Castle" from yesterday) that showed up Koffings in the exact same place. Also the map seemed to be identical.
BUT this was the E3 built, so we really don't know for sure. There could be more Smash Run Maps for all we know.

Hmm. I hope enemies and such are randomized at least so people can't memorize or anticipate placement.

There was another rumor? Was it Americo only?

Unclear what region it's for, but yeah, there was another rumor. It didn't say much, just that there was going to be another Direct with details to come today.

 

[Kouriozan]

my boy will probably be a secret character.......

Kinda expecting it too, or maybe early next week if we are lucky.

 

[Neoxon]

Not every character is unlocked.

 

[peanutbutterlatte]

Isn't that really the one mode that doesn't make much sense for 3DS?

 

[Kouriozan]

Give me all the seashells!

Ike at 6.7 for females is an interesting statistic.

I really hope the accents won't disappear in Xenoblade Chronicles X!

Never forget

 

[Captainbojanglesiii]

Yeah, was hoping for single player 3DS tournies with A.I. but I'll live. Like seeing the bracket progress.

 

[emb]

I don't think the people answering that question were taking other people into account; the question is saying would YOU trade in Smash 3DS for more characters. I expect that people base that on their own preferences, not the greater good of the world. It's just a hypothetical.

 

[Toxi]

Never forget

I want to see a moveset swap of Ike and Donkey Kong.

EDIT: OH JESUS WHAT

 

[emb]

Unclear what region it's for, but yeah, there was another rumor. It didn't say much, just that there was going to be another Direct with details to come today.

Interesting, here's hoping!

What was the source of the rumor? Any reason to suspect it's credible?

Ikey Kong, I'd main that.

Reading these pages made me realise how entitled you guys feel you are.

You'd really drop a unique game for a fucking single character? For real? lol

Maybe the game is a stopgap, or a time waste for some, but for the majority of 3DS gamers, it's likely the game we have been waiting for, like myself. My excitement for Smash is incredibly high and will be my only version and shall sink hundreds of hours on it wherever the hell I please.

You guys need to stop being so insensitive, the 3DS game has happened and it's staying that way. Wishing to get rid of Smash Run, portable Smash and way more for a single character most of you won't really play as extensively strikes me as a bit childish and sad.

Oh well, I'm devoted to the 3DS game. No issue if you guys are trashing it once the almighty "souperiah wee you!!!!111" version comes out, but please stop shitting on the experience for the rest of us.

 

[Kouriozan]

Kirby is definitely in my top 5 Nintendo characters ever. Kirby's awesome, and his games are all at least great, always packed with content, have incredible music and level design, and lots of fun. Plus he's like an unstoppable overpowered entity of destruction and chaos packed in a cute pink round package.

I'll never stop loving Kirby. He'll definitely be one of the vets I play first as soon as I get SSB4.

Kirby is also my hero <3
My 3DS and Wii U message got him too (>°o°)>

 

[MagiusNecros]

I'd drop the Wii U version to have the 3DS version now honestly.

Thank you. My thoughts exactly. I will be buying Smash 3DS and will gladly love it despite it being "inferior and weighing down the Wii U version"

 

[MagiusNecros]

I know~

I'll forgive you

Why would you ever want that haha. That's in all ways the worst case scenario.

I am very excited to see what Smash on New 3DS looks like though, that should be interesting.

 

[Kansoku]

Well, the VA is well done, but some of the voices feel so out of place. Especially Riki.

No Melia or Sharla yet.

Oh man.. this is awesome. I can't wait for Sharla one.

 

[georly]

Barbara has a total of 11.

I was looking at that and it seems... really really odd. If I had to guess, it's that you can select a 'category' of trophies, and she's in a category that only has 11 entries (at least currently unlocked), like 'trophies of assist trophies' or something like that.

 

[MagiusNecros]

Why would you ever want that haha. That's in all ways the worst case scenario.

Whatever lets me play Smash 4 Bowser sooner is a win for me.
