That Berathen site made me realize - holy shit, Smash 3DS is going to be the best-selling fighting game of all time on a handheld

It might even be one of the best-selling fighting games ever

I read somewhere that Smash is already the best selling fighting games' series? Don't know how true is that though

It's gotta be Ludwig for me. (And for god's sake, before anyone says "OH SHIT NDA BROKEN!", I'm saying this based on the same CSS leak everyone else is.)

I'm so bugged by Zelda's nerfs

I mean I know they weren't like "Zelda's way too tough, we need to give her nerfs", but still.

Me too. :( Zelda is my second-best in Brawl, but I have absolutely sucked with her every time I've tried her in 3DS/Wii U. Straight up, the same things that used to work for me with Zelda in Brawl just do not work anymore. She's been hit pretty hard with the nerf bat.

Oh, I didn't know that. You have a pretty busy life then. How do you find time to do anything?
Do you sleep?

Not nearly as much as I should, and my video game backlog is bigger than it's ever been. :(

Might have been me who said that :) I'm definitely putting on my life goal list. Doing what I can, as far as resume building goes, to get a job there.

That was georly, but yeah it would be an awesome place to work.

Ah, my mistake. :p Then good luck to us, georly!

To be honest, I'm still too busy trying to work out what the point of Phantom Slash is...
Dinn's fire already looks to do a better job as ranged harassment, while incoming projectiles are better dealt with via Nayru's love than trying to make the knight eat them :/

I mean, yeah, treehouse is my 'realistic - actually might be possible' dream goal.

My ACTUAL dream goal, if I could do whatever I want, would be to work @ NCL w/ Zelda ;)

I tend to procrastinate a ton and not do anything if given the chance...

I have also realized this disappears the second I have extremely high goals and back myself into a corner so that's that. Hope for the best I guess...already working on JP fluency because why waste time?

I feel the same way man, I want all those options. I'm going to be so upset if they aren't included.
 
guys don't tell anyone but im making a secret game called super bash sisters. i thought id share my design doc for multiplayer but dont tell anyone

step 1-copy halo 2's features. i mean that game came out in 2004 and lets you do pretty much anything
step 2-add additional features to compliment the game
step 3-have functional netcode tested over longer distances, than say, kyoto to tokyo
step 4-there, multiplayer is probably good

Hope you achieve your dreams. From the looks of it, Treehouse is some of the best people in the industry, and being part of them is an honor indeed. :)

I remember back in the day when my childhood dream was to work as a developer for Capcom and make Megaman games. Fun times :p

I'm working on learning the kata/hiragana this year, as I told you before.

Been writing down ra ri ru re ro all week. Both in katakana and hiragana. Once I have both sets memorized and can read/write them all, i'll work on actual vocabulary and grammar. Far far away, but it's something I'm doing for fun in my spare time. Don't expect it to be required for all treehouse positions, but It can't hurt.


Also, note to everyone: going to bed, can't add you to the leak list, please PM me.

Thank you. I'd like to think i'm not one of those kids that says 'I wanna make video games' or 'I wanna work at nintendo.' and then applies with a generic degree and no resume.

I'm a software engineer, working on my masters, fluent in spanish an english, and I'm adding work experience to the resume, and am willing to do whatever I can to get in at the treehouse using my skills. Total dream job, and i'm doing what i can to get there.

I don't think it'll top Brawl.

I would argue with this but the 3DS/Wii U playerbase split will really keep either version from hitting huge numbers.

Together I think they'll dwarf Brawl but that's not really the same.

I think that overall Smash 4 has a lot more attention on it than Brawl did (which is honestly impressive) but I don't know how much of that will translate to sales.

well lets also keep in mind such as with Marth that just because the way you used to play as the character isnt as effective doesn't mean they are terrible now. Although im surprised with all the Zelda Brawl mains. I was a Zelda/Sheik main in Melee and they were too painful to play as in Brawl that I moved on to other characters like Toon Link, ZSS and Falco. I really hope the speed has picked up because some characters like samus, zelda and Lucario were painfully slow in Brawl and they shouldn't have been.

What's everyones favorite menu music?

Super Smash Bros.
Super Smash Bros. Melee
Super Smash Bros. Brawl
Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U



I hope the Brawl theme comes back as an alt for the Wii U version, much like how Melee came back for Brawl as an alt.

For me it goes Melee>64>Brawl. I haven't gotten enough time with 4 to determine if it's good in long runs. But goodness, I am so burnt out on Brawls theme, there was no need for it to be in so many different areas of Brawl.
 
Maybe someday they will do a balance patch to fix characters like Zelda and probably Ganondorf. ...Speaking of, how cool would it be if Sakurai did custom move DLC? Like, giving Mario fully new customs - imagine if he could use his Cape as his Up B, or Wario could use his shoulder charge properly (;)!

But yes, wtf is the Phantom Slash. It really feels like a neat idea where they never got to the "okay, now let's make it useful!" step. Here are some ideas:

1. Immunity to deflection. Phantom Slash should TEAR through shields, Fox's Down B, Mario's Cape, and Villager's Pocket.
2. Give it Super Armour and some invincibility frames.
3. Hey, how about doing some cool trickery, like letting Zelda spawn the Phantom Slash further away from her by doing some neat combo trick? Or maybe even summon it from a distance away, and have it move toward her?
4. Merely touching it should do decent knockback.
5. I don't know if this already works, but tapping Down B should have the Phantom Slash appear and do a powerful slash right in front of you.

It just doesn't seem to have any application. It's easily punished and not very useful. If they gave it some buffs like that though, it could be a killing move all its own!

Is there any reason why Ninten shouldn't be an alt-newcomer for Ness ala Olimar/Alph this time around? The two are practically identical and it's nothing but pure fanservice.

Maybe
hopefully
he is? Who knows.

In all seriousness it's crazy the amount of stuff Halo 2 did right from the get go.
Especially when you consider other games, even more recent bigger titles have done less.

Brawls theme is the best for me.
That chorus gets me pumped to play every time.

If Lucas is cut they should do an Alph like thing with Ness and include Ninten and Lucas as alt costumes. Although that Wolf alternate color worries me. If Wolf is cut it rubs even worse that they couldnt make him a proper Fox alternate costume and instead gives him the daisy treatment.

Hey Ash, how is Derrick so nice? I thought I was the nicest person on the Internet (in my humble, unbiased opinion) until I started listening to GameXplain and discovered Derrick. I hope André doesn't take advantage of him! Too easy to imagine...

André: "Hey Derrick, I need you to push these giants flaming boulders uphill both ways."

Derrick: "Well that seems like a rather peculiar request. I'm afraid this may scorch my hands and strain my back, but... I don't want to trouble you, so, yeah, I'm OK with that. But where do I find such a hill that goes uphill both ways?"

André: "Just keep pushing the giant flaming boulders around the countryside until you find one. Don't worry, I believe in you."

Derrick: "...Well, OK."

For all we know, it combos well.

Well, Ness already has another character as an alt, so three would be too much.

:p

If Lucas is cut they should do an Alph like thing with Ness and include Ninten and Lucas as alt costumes. Although that Wolf alternate color worries me. If Wolf is cut it rubs even worse that they couldnt make him a proper Fox alternate costume and instead gives him the daisy treatment.

Lucas will be a color scheme reference if he's not a character. They're not gonna demote any former character to alts, because that wouldn't leave the door open for them to come back as DLC.

The Shin Budokai games are fantastic. I think Infinite World is the best of the Dimps games, but a lot of what made that game great was derived from the Shin Budokai titles.

Hm, I played Infinite World a while back. I liked some things, but not others. Compared to Shin Budokai.
- I didn't like how the Aura Burst made you invincible to most attacks. And you could spam specials.
- I was fine with Aura Dashing (or whatever it's called) not taking energy, but I didn't like how the Aura shield didn't take energy as well (I believe).
- Also, there was no character specific Aura burst skill like in Shin Budokai
- You couldn't Aura Dash out of regular dashing like you could in Shin
- Can't charge Special attacks or Ultimates.
- I prefer the Ultimates without the cutscenes and mini game. Just the attack like Shin.
- Holding Up or Down on the Knockback attacks (dunno the name) actually changes the move in Shin.
- And probably some other stuff if I could remember

Wow, didn't expect to write that much. Actually, it looks like I didn't like a lot of things...


Um, yeah, on topic.
I think there will be another CGI trailer.
With....Bowser fighting Ganon. And then Bowser Jr coming.
 
Lucas will be a color scheme reference if he's not a character. They're not gonna demote any former character to alts, because that wouldn't leave the door open for them to come back as DLC.

Well it would actually. DLC is completely unprecedented, Sakurai could easily upgrade him and replace Ness' Lucas alt with Ninten, or Paula.

I'd rather have cuts than have characters demoted to alts without their proper moves. Lucas's moveset was more fun than Ness's so him being an alt would just sting.
