Support NeoGAF

[IntelliHeath]

So how are weekly threads going to work? I imagine it wouldn't help with the situation of people wanting to be updated but not going into a mega thread. Weekly threads itself would be mini-mega threads. And what's stopping anybody from creating a new thread for a new stage or character reveal that is revealed through a daily pic?

What I'm saying is this thread would essentially be moot if the threads are made weekly for "discussion" to occur.

No it was an idea posted by Heath in the Other M stage thread since not everyone would be following this thread but want to be updated on the important bits of new Smash info.

I'm saying a weekly thread isn't really a solution. I think the current (or what should be done) system works. Make a thread when something new (item, character, stage, and etc.) is revealed. And even new info like the outlines can be turned off or made thinner/thicker.

I didn't said that anyone can't post new thread when characters and stages got announced but I thought it would silly if people HAD to make new thread on items, pokeballs, assist trophies and minor updates. If people started to making new thread on every single small updates then that would make this thread moot as well, right?

My point is that people should post relevant informations such as characters, stages, and major update (network mode, story mode, etc) as new thread, and spare small updates for my thread to avoid cluttering up the NeoGAF's front page. If you insist to making new threads based on items and small updates then so be it.

Football crazy, chocolate mad...

That's the kind of thing that would typically get improved last in a game's development.

It's not great as it is, I'll agree with you though.

 

[foxuzamaki]

we're not really meant to look at the crowd, crowds in most games like sports titles and wrestling games arent very good, and simply put, they're super resource heavy unless you go the jpeg route, your not going to be staring at the crowds so its best not to even worry about them, smash is a 60fps 1080p, the last thing you want them to take care of is the crowds in the one stage that has them

Why? Stuff like that is common.

The obscurity wasn't the weird part, the relevance was.

IT DOESN'T FIT.

well it usually use to say platinum mad, but you already used mad so i went with happy T_T

I know, I know. The fact that you said it how you did though?

That's platinum bad.

I thought it was a band

 

[foxuzamaki]

I thought it was a band

monogatari is merely what you'd call it if you were to call it as a series, but its individual books based around a group of people, usually having to do with ghosts and demons, but its also a complex harem that isnt totally like a harem, the books are bakemonogatari, nisemonogatari, nekomonogatar, kizumonogatari and etc. and etc.

 

[MagiusNecros]

And Cloud.

GILGAMESH has a higher chance. And even then you'd probably get a character from a Mario sports game.

 

[CriterionDog]

What are the chances that we will see Protoman or Bass in this?

 

[Box of Bunnies]

What are the chances that we will see Protoman or Bass in this?

Maybe as background elements of the Mega Man stage, but not much else.

 

[Chunky]

What are the chances that we will see Protoman or Bass in this?

Pretty decent. I know Sonic brought his own repertoire of characters along for the ride, with Shadow at least as a trophy, and the sticker/trophy collections being filled with his furry little buggers.
I'd say along with him and his stage, we'll get a Protoman trophy (he'd probably jump from left to right and shoot a bit), a shedload of music and an item or two. Maybe an e-tank or something.

I am so ready for megaman music in smash, the bits in the megaman trailer were great.

 

[MagiusNecros]

Bass/Forte might get his battle theme in.

For games like this, it's typical. Why waste the resources on the crowds when it can be better spent elsewhere. It's not like we examine the crowds during a match.

I mean, for example, Gran Turismo 5 and their PS1 quality trees. It didn't matter...why? Because during a race, you don't really examine said trees.

I guess you would complain same thing about Pokemon Stadium in Melee and Brawl.

 

[StayDead]

I need to watch it again, but is the main stage theme Wily's Theme from Megaman 2? If it is, I might cry of joy everytime I play that stage.

Yep. At least that's what was playing.

The Wonderful 101 launches tomorrow in Europe and on Saturday in Japan.

IF WONDER RED ISN'T REVEALED TOMORROW I'M... I'm not gonna do anything, and I'm not gonna be very upset either. I'm just gonna be disappointed in myself for hyping it up.

I think that if the game actually was released like a year ago it would have a chance to appear in Sm4sh. It's too early now though.
Anyway I would like that, but eh, not a big deal.

Hey, why did you think no one was in the background of Delfino Plaza or Skyloft?

More like if it was actually a grounded franchise and not a (so far) one-shot game that has yet to prove itself out in the market. Don't understand how anyone ever managed to get their hopes up about this.

Well Wonder Red don't really have a lot of moves to make up for himself, so you have to use few characters to following him around and make more variable attacks but I'm not sure if it would be that great for 3DS. I seriously doubt that he will be in the game.

This is next gen Nintendo stuff tho. We gotta think bigger

Yeah, like making sure the game runs well consistently.

along with better crowd models in the backgrounds!

see? now we're on the same page!

 

[Übermatik]

People complaining about the crowd have a bald point - in a fast action fighting game, it might not seem important, but a lot of ugly details like that will be noticeable when the game is paused and in free camera mode, which, correct me if in wrong, is one of the games beat and most used features.

 

[Berordn]

If you're truly expecting them to address that you're going to be very disappointed come next year.

Me too.

It would be cool though.

Typically, a Nintendo game has to be released before a Smash game begins planning to be represented in Smash. The only exception to this rule is Pokemon, which Sakurai consults with Game Freak and The Pokemon Company to find out which characters they'll be promoting around the time Smash releases. There's almost zero chance of Wonderful 101 seeing representation in a playable character.

There's also the case of Roy. His first game appearance was Smash Bros. Melee.

OK, then no threads for items.

I just don't want to see this thread go to waste.

Hey, Look at Pit and his bow.

damn that screenshot is awesome

This thread will be alive for long trip, I hope.

There's also the case of Roy. His first game appearance was Smash Bros. Melee.

Roy's probably a special case since he's a clone of a very well established character for a big Nintendo franchise.

 

[Hot Coldman]

Pit has his Brawl bow? Weird, that thing wasn't even in KI:U. I was slightly expecting a full revamp of his character following Uprising, tbh.

Are you sure?

The name of bow in Uprising is Palutena Bow.

Crowd models aren't something you'll notice in a hectic game though.

 

[IntelliHeath]

I checked all of his animations in Brawl, I can't reproduce same result as that daily picture. I wonder if it's a new move or new animation?

 

[Anth0ny]

Looks like an air dodge to me

 

[Riki]

I checked all of his animations in Brawl, I can't reproduce same result as that daily picture. I wonder if it's a new move or new animation?

Maybe if he gets hit hard enough he loses his weapon now

 

[Timeaisis]

Yeah, I think it's just an air dodge.

 

[IntelliHeath]

Yeah, I think it's just an air dodge.

Perhaps, new animation for dodge. Interesting.

I hope not. It would be kinda nerf for Pit.
