Super Smash Bros. for 3DS & Wii U Thread XV: Kübler-Ross Edition

"Your Final Destination for Pizza!" the sign says above a family-owned restaurant run by the Smash brothers. It's your favorite stop for pizza, and today you're especially excited. Every six or so years, the store goes through a major renovation. It seemed like so long ago when they first renovated, and the service was much faster, or their second renovation, when they made the store a lot more family-friendly and open to newer customers. Now it's time for another change, and the night is finally here! You walk inside, and decide to take a look at what toppings there are. It's time for your favorite type of pizza - the cheese-lover's pizza, a delicious pie with every type of cheese the store offers on top. You take a look up on the board, and realize that one of your favorite types of cheeses is missing, despite having been there the last twelve years. Three other cheeses are missing as well. How could they do this, you think to yourself, seething with anger. Despite all the other new types of cheese that have been added, you simply can't enjoy this. I would rather they made sure the old cheese types stayed, instead of adding new ones.

Nonetheless, you order up a cheese-lover's pizza for yourself.
"Here you go" they say, giving you the box. "We added in a complementary bread stick for free" they add, before you go.
"WHAT?! A BREAD STICK? That ruins the entire pizza! How can I enjoy this pizza if I have this stupid bread stick added on?"
"Oh- sorry sir. We just thought it would be nice if you had a little more than-" You cut him off.
"This bread stick will ruin the pizza, how can I enjoy the other cheeses if the cheese on the bread stick is also there? They'll taste too similar! You need to stop this policy at once, or else I'll never eat here again!"
"Sir, you don't have to eat it. The other customers don't seem to mind at all."
You open up the box, and look inside. There isn't even a cheese stuffing in the crust.
"Where is my cheese stuffing? I specifically requested cheese stuffing for years, why haven't you listened to me?"
"It's simply not an option on the menu, sir."
"NOT AN OPTION?! I bet the reason the cheese crust is missing is because you used all of it putting it on the bread stick!"
"Not at all sir, we simply had some cheese left over, we thought it would be a nice treat-"
"Nice treat? How disgusting, there is simply no way to enjoy the pizza any more with the bread stick on the side. I won't eat here again!"
You storm out, leaving the pizza behind. Oh, you'll miss the pizza, and you know it. No other pizza can match what the Smash brothers offer. As you walk down the street, you notice the All-Stars pizzeria, almost completely devoid of customers save a few, eating some gross-looking slices of pizza. No, certainly no one else makes pizza like the Smash brothers.

You just reminded me of this baby, again.

This is why the fanfic needs to start up again.

OH! I DID FORGET SOMETHING WITH SAMUS THAT'S REALLY IMPORTANT.

Masked Man, can you check if her Down B bombs explode on contact instead of a timer? That was something that happened in Melee but not Brawl (they made it purely timer based). So, try to Down B near someone and see if the bomb explodes asap or if it just explodes after a certain period of time.
In the Bestbuy build they exploded on a timer, so it'd be surprising if they exploded on contact this time.

It's probably fake but I still can't find the original render if it is
Please don't post obvious fakes. Ridley's body is missing, he's done in a different art style, LOL the bottom of his jaw, and there's no way the ESRB leaker would have not spoiled him.
 

IntelliHeath

As in "Heathcliff"
Palutena, Robin and Shulk are nigh universally considered the best of the expo impressions. It's so weird.

Yeah, I'm glad that they are easy to use but I would wait until people are more familiar with the game before we jump into conclusion. I really like to hear that they are likely to be good characters to play with.

10/10 would read again.
 
How far am I in Xenoblade would you say % wise just story stuff wise
Just got to Prison Island and beat the boss there.
I know others answered this, but assuming you are where I think you are, I'd say 40-50% - erring closer to 50 than 40.

Xenoblade can be broken up into about five arcs, basically. The first one ends after you beat Xord; the second ended roughly where you are. (For context as to where I think the borders of these arcs lie, for those who've beaten the game and are familiar with the plot: the third ends around
when Fort Galahad falls and everyone winds up on the Fallen Arm
, and the fourth ends after
all the crazy plot twists at Mechonis Core
. These arcs are not exactly uniform in length; I'd argue the first two are the largest while the last one is easily the shortest.)

And this is one of the many, many reasons why I much prefer this wait for Smash 4, being actively involved in a community, than the one for Brawl, where I wasn't around in forums let alone NeoGAF.
Awesome mind, man.

Something about the font where it actually says "RIDLEY" throws me off in that pic. I mean I know it's obviously fake since
we know the full roster already
but if we were going back into debunk-mode I'd put some focus there.

Ok cool thanks for the detailed explanation. Will come back to this post for the spoiler parts.
Just hope I can keep my level in a good spot and not run into too many chocke points.

Remember when Brawl came out and caramelldansen was huge at the same time?
Man that sure was a different time we were in. Looks like nothing of that ilk will be around for Smash 4. Whether that's a good or bad thing is up to you.

Double-checked and Customization menu IS accessible from the CSS! When you turn Customizations on, a new window appears when you select your character that shows your special options (presumably), although this build didn't give access to any of those.

Starting to get a better feel for Palutena. Her jab is sick and has ridiculous knockback. Her Lightning Kick is tricky to connect with, and her UAir and DAir remind me of Pit's from Brawl. Also, there was a little kid who kept imitating Palutena: "HANSHABAN! HANSHABAN! HANSHABAN! (Reflect Barrier in JP)" lololol

• DK Boxing gloves alt?
Nope, not present.
• DK dash rolls off edge?
Nope! You're safe.
Haven't played much DK, but his Up Special seems to have more power and range. Was able to knock CP opponents away with Down Special, but no KOs.

Other notes:
• Fierce Deity Link is real and his makeup looks SO COOL. Still wears the hat so it's technically just a palette swap, but still omg.
• Gaur Plains is a walk-off on the top level. "You Will Know Our Names" was the original track from Xenoblade.
• Paper Mario stage cycles through plains > ship > castle. A fan literally pops up to blow away the plains and the wind-blown scenery damages players, lol. For the ship to castle transition, the water drains and it shifts to the castle. Overall, a lovely design. Can't comment on the music because I only know PM64's by heart, but I will check later.
The Paper Mario stage sounds so good.
 

Masked Man

I said wow
Ahhhh can't handle all the questions D:

• WolFox has a purple-ish suit and light gray fur. Not a true Wolf alt, like ChaRidleyzard.
• No flowers on Daisy-Peach
• Fierce Deity's armor is purple-ish
• CF alts?
Blood Falcon was ostensibly the same. One new(?) palette swap was blue-ish with a red scarf
• Samus?
USmash struck CP Robin when he was next to me but there is room for error. Charge Shot appears to be same color for all palettes. DTilt has solid knockback and a cool explosion. UpB does blast opponents pretty far away with the last hit, so I guess that's the same. DAir felt the same, but I'm not a Samus main. FAir felt stronger, and the explosions carry a little more weight to them. Didn't play on a ledge stage, so not sure about the tether. Bomb exploded when it hit Robin iirc.
• WFT does occasionally give fitness advice, but I'm not sure how to trigger it. His taunts also give advice. Also his FAir is this awkwardly-angled diagonal stretch that I don't like.

@AzureJ: I tried the shield stuff (after I realized they have grab as R and shield as L). Shield out of dash felt pretty immediate. Wasn't really able to tilt right out of a shield (ended up rolling), but there didn't seem to be any gap at all when I times it properly.
