It's commonly acceptable that you can fight anyone first, but you don't fuck with Heat Man until you beat Air Man. There's an entire song dedicated to this rule:

It sounds horrible in English.

 

[georgetheplushie]

Did anyone know that Footstool is still in the game? I saw a thread at other forum and they said that it's in.

I noticed it when browsing through the press kit. Didn't think it was important enough to mention.

 

[Neiteio]

some people will tell you that the "ooh metal blade is overpowered" or "blah blah it's effective against like 80% of the enemies and bosses how boring"

do not listen to these people


it fires

in

eight

directions



yes

let the blade take over

there is no shame in defeating those too weak to stand against it

Wow this blade is useful against these mini-frogs the big frog spits out, lol. I can hit them mid-air!

 

[XiaNaphryz]

This thread is special to most of us because I'm sure that most of us signed up for NeoGAF during Brawl era, so please don't blew it for us.

Pffft, many of us posted in the initial E3 Brawl thread when the game was first revealed.

Good times.

embrace the footstool

 

[EmCeeGramr]

My order will always be

Spoiler

Metal Man -> Bubble Man -> Flash Man -> Wood Man -> Air Man -> Quick Man -> Crash Man -> Heat Man

 

[ffdgh]

I say footstool jumps are back.

Was this posted yet? Sakurai says that Smash 4 will be striking a good balance for both casual and hardcore players.

Thank you Jason for asking him! I look forward to the answers to the other questions.

Edit: Oh it seems like it was. Oh well, I was gone for a few hours.

Great news!

Oh, hey.

Guess I'll continue to never find an opportunity to use this.

If you have to use meteor smashes to spike someone, you're doing it wrong.

Oh really? I used it occasionally when I can.

 

[Buddha Beam]

I am hoping against all odds that it's the Mach Rider.

Damn, that's a great pick. I never thought of that one after all these years for some reason.

I think Takamaru being in the game is a near certainty. Didn't Sakurai say around the time Brawl released that they strongly considered him?

Although he did show up in Captain Rainbow (who also better be in this game).

 

[DaBoss]

how did you make that GIF, looks super smooth.

Each frame is 0.03 seconds (30 ms) will make it look nearly 30fps (each frame is 3 miliseconds faster). It may lead to some large GIFs though, but I find 30fps for GIFs a priority due to it looking silky smooth.

I like it.

HOLY SHIT THE METAL BLADE FIRES IN ALL DIRECTIONS

Overpowered? Should I stick with pew-pew?

Metal Blade is super good, but can remove some of the experience (like the little frogs - you don't have to shoot them with your bb gun now).

My order will always be

Spoiler

Metal Man -> Bubble Man -> Flash Man -> Wood Man -> Air Man -> Quick Man -> Crash Man -> Heat Man

Flash Man is always penultimate for me because his stage kills me so much. :-(

Crash Man has always felt random and beats the crap out of me, but I always win somehow. Heat Man is last, and the rest I fight in whatever order I feel like.

 

[Tan]

Oh really? I used it occasionally when I can.

It's just so easy to swat people away when they go to try it. I think I've effectively used it once to kill someone.

Yes stick with Metal Blades throughout if you want to get through it easy. They pretty much kills everything.

Don't use gifcam

BUBBLE MAN BUSTED

[Oblivion]

I keep forgetting the 3DS is supposed to be way more powerful than the DS. The cel shading looks pretty damn good.

 

[Seven Force]

My order will always be

Spoiler

Metal Man -> Bubble Man -> Flash Man -> Wood Man -> Air Man -> Quick Man -> Crash Man -> Heat Man

Yeah, pretty much the way I tackle things, too.

 

[georgetheplushie]

So long as footstools are techable now, I'm okay with them. If there's increased hitstun, more characters may have footstool combo options other than pretty much just Snake and Pikachu.

 

[Hot Coldman]

It's not cel-shading, they just gave everyone a big fuck-off outline so you can see yourself during battles.

 

[Neiteio]

I'm going after my third boss, Flashman, and this stage is more slippery than a Bubsy game.

Hey, it seems like different health bars are tied to different suits?

 

[Neiteio]

Hmm, Flashman is down. This game is a lot of fun, but kind of easy so far. Probably because I'm using Metal Blade, lol.

 

[Red Arremer]

In MM2, I usually go

Spoiler

Airman -> Crashman -> Flashman -> Quickman -> Metalman -> Bubbleman -> Heatman -> Woodman

.

I just feel dirty if I use Metal Blade. Also, I generally do buster-only runs.

 

[Spring-Loaded]

Are you playing on Normal or Difficult?

It disgusts me that Mega Man 2 will be better represented than Mega Man 3.

 

[Neiteio]

Are you playing on Normal or Difficult?

Normal. I always go with the default difficulty the first time around. I'm sticking to my pew-pew for the time being.

These giant firebreathing blue robo-dogs in Woodman's stage are TITS.

Total Commander Keen vibes.

 

[ffdgh]

More characters need access to meteor smashes. I hope sakurai makes peach down a meteor more easily useable.

 

[Dereck]

That GIF is waaaaaaay too smooth.

I always go Airman first too. My first impression as a kid was that he was the weakest.

Well it has a better title screen song so....

 

[Neiteio]

Hey, I'm just on Stage 4 (Woodman is who I picked), and I tried the Flashman weapon, and the screen froze, and a separate meter ran out, and now I can't use it anymore...?

Also, I have this new red suit powerup -- I don't know which boss I got it from -- but it spawns mini-platforms?

Normal difficulty is a lie added by Capcom USA because "American players are bad at video games." Difficult is the only difficulty mode in Rockman 2 in Japan. Normal mode is an absolute joke and makes the Mega Buster significantly stronger among other ridiculous balance changes that make the game a pushover.

 

[ArchedThunder]

So people are talking about a retro revival character in here, can I get a link to where this was said?

 

[Greenzxy]

Yup, mega man 2 is by FAR, I mean FAAR, the easiest Megaman game in the entire series. Boss health levels were so low in that game even on hard.
Edit: meant to say 2

 

[Ezalc]

So I'm guessing there hasn't been any smash news at all since the reveal? Nothing on those supposed rumored characters?

You probably didn't notice that because Metal Blades barely drain its meter. You have to pick up the blue things while having the weapon equipped to refill it.

 

[FlyFaster]

Man, I'm a huge Protoman fan, so MM3 is close to my hear, but 2 is a classic. No reason to be up set by this.

While I usually play the default as well, I think the harder difficulty is actually the original. IIRC, Normal mode is more like easy mode in MM2.

EDIT: Beaten

 

[L Thammy]

Well it has a better title screen song so....

It also has an inferior password theme. And it doesn't have Snake Man, Hard Man, Top Man, or Magnet Man's theme. And...

Do you guys think that the currently announced Super Smash Bros. titles are placeholder names? Because they certainly sound placeholder to me.

Then again, the third Smash Bros. game was revealed as Super Smash Bros. Brawl, not as Super Smash Bros. for Wii.

Personally, I feel that adding the word "Wii U" to the title actually devalues the game to "core" gamers, as the Wii brand has negative connotations associated with it to that audience.

Was an article posted a bit back that confirmed them as the actual names I believe.

Not really a fan but eh

You're just being taught which is the superior game.
