After my sad attempt at a joke...a real important question:

Does anyone else think that the Smash Bros 3DS has cooler stages?

Dat Paper Mario and N's Castle

It's hard to say at this point, but I have a feeling I'll end up liking the Wii U selection more, if for no other reason than more music options.

N's castle does look great, as well as the Pacman stage.
 
Doctor Mario's Final Smash is going to be Mario Finale. Just like Toon Link's Final Smash is Triforce Slash, Sheik's Final Smash is Light Arrow, and Wolf's Final Smash is Landmaster.
 
Am I the only one that would've cut Falco over Wolf?

And I play as Falco pretty often.

You're obviously not the only one to think that, but I would rather have Falco, Falco is just too cool.

He's also massively popular in competitive smash compared to Wolf.

Best starfox member forever and always.
 
Thinking about it I would do the same.
We would be missing a bird character sure but Villains are more needed.
Guess Falco lucked out with the seniority.

Yeah, not only is he an awesome villian, but his moveset was more varied as well. He truly felt like a different character compared to Fox and Falco.

Although I get the senority thing.

Best starfox member forever and always.

Also my favorite member of the Star Fox team, which makes it weird that I'm saying this.
 
I don't actually hate Wolf...I just saw 3 landmasters and seeing as Wolf was new, my annoyance found my way to him.

If that got changed I would accept him though

Maybe...

But on the same hand, the 3DS barely has any new stages it seems based on the leak. We've got 3D Land, Golden Plains, Paper Mario, Rainbow Road, Gerudo Desert, Spirit Tracks, Prism Tower, N's Castle, F-Zero, Arena Ferox, Magicant, Kirby GB, Reset Bomb Forest, Tortimer's Island, Nintendog, Tomadachi, Mii Quest, Duck Hunt, and Pac-Maze.

Only 19 new stages...that's excluding the ones present on the Wii U version as well like Wily and Gaur Plains. Pretty sad.
 
Guys, I was thinking... the official strategy guides for Smash Bros 3DS must be printed somewhere... right?

It bugs me, I know there must be lots of those in some warehouse in Japan (or maybe even the rest are already printed) and no one took some phone pics :P

That is a good point. Somehow those are usually kept under lock and key these days for most games, at least the Nintendo games I follow. Weird though that their contents wouldn't be spoiled more often, though.
 
I would be bummed if the vortex of wind and lightning made it in, but not as Toon Link's Final Smash. Toon Link's Final Smash really should've been Ballad of Gales.
I always thought a good FS for Toon Link would be based off him being the hero of winds and the hurricane spin. He activates his FS which causes him to spin around like his hurricane spin. He spins so fast he creates a twister above where he is spinning. He can move around the stage moving the twister with him sucking up opponents. He can fall to other platforms but he can't jump. If anyone gets hit directly by his sword its a near Ko. Anyone caught up in the twister gets dealt a lot of damage.
 
All this Smash Hype got me all leveled up! I'm now glad to serve as a member with you all.

Also, Sah, take me off your tourney brackets. I don't like being signed up for things and not being informed.

Congrats! But Gilbalsplz.. dat disturbing avatar.. xP
 
I guess it's been pointed out already but...

The picture leaked with All-Star padlocked wasn't from Motherfucker Leaker, and wasn't in the ESRB Imgur leak, right? The "All-Star" guy on /v/ leaked it. We don't know if they're from the same "source", and even if it was, there's no guarantee the ESRB video was necessarily comprised of chronological footage. I could easily see one part of the video showing the default menu, and another showing the full character selection.

I'm not getting my hopes up.
 
Also, going back to that japanese poll from earlier.

Does anyone find it kinda funny that Ridley, a character designed and created in Japan is seen by them as an 'overseas character', yet K. Rool, who was deisgned and created in the glorious United Kingdom is apparently really heavily requested in Japan?
When they call Ridley an "overseas" character, they really just mean most of his popularity is overseas. Donkey Kong Country historically performed well in Japan, Metroid did not and is not as well-remembered there.
 
It's probably because in the official Metroid manga, after Ridley savagely kills Samus' parents and devours them, him and the rest of the Space Pirates clap.

This is a good post.




I don't know though, being a massive fan of both DK and Metroid I find it hard to believe K. Rool would be (rightfully) requested that much and yet Ridley isn't.

I don't. Super Metroid and Metroid Prime bombed in Japan. The series is not popular there, and attempts to make it more popular there haven't been very successful. Ridley appeals to Metroid fans, there aren't many Metroid fans in Japan, there aren't many people asking for Ridley.

I want to say Japan has incredibly bad taste but they voted K. Rool so highly so I can't say that.

So many conflicting emotions.
 
Better normals makes it a no brainer for me. I'm not even familiar with the Mother series aside from playing the first third or so of Earthbound so I don't really have much of an opinion in regards to if I like Ness or Lucas more.

I've only played the first half of Earthbound and Mother 3 but Ness has always been my Smash main, he's just so good... in a "one of the worst characters in the game" sort of way. But that's more Sakurai's fault for not giving him good tools, Project M Ness is great.


Lucas was awful in Brawl imo, Project M made him a bit better but I still can't stand the little shit.

First, everyone has bad taste. Don't hold it against them.

Second, liking K Rool is, if anything, proof of bad taste. :-P

Mario-only fighting game. Comic sans used for the best results. Here's a comprehensive guide:
Columns from left to right: Official Mario, Spinoff Mario, Dark Mario, Powerup Mario, and Media Mario.
Each character here has either been seen alongside Mario as a playable character (Doctor, Baby, Shadow, Tanooki, Metal, Gold) or is a different version of Mario (Jumpman, Paper, Cosmic, Cosmic Clone, Real (Hoskins), Real (Albano), Toon), so they all count.
Stages:
Mario Zone (Super Mario Land: 6 Golden Coins)
Starship Mario (Super Mario Galaxy 2)
Items:
Mini Mario (Mario vs. Donkey Kong)
Double Cherry (Super Mario 3D World) - adds even more Mario
Assist Trophies:
Tarin (The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening)
Referee (Punch-Out!!)
The game has Amiibo functionality.

Is there anything missing?
 
I thought Super Metroid did alright in Japan? I forget the exact source I read that, though (feel free to flame if turns out to be Chartz).

It definitely wasn't DKC numbers, but not Metroid Prime numbers. Regardless, it makes sense as to why they're not crazy about Ridley.
