Super Smash Bros Wii U and 3DS Thread 3: Ridley's Believe It or Not!

Maybe Sakurai wanted Lost World to come out before revealing the next character. In which case, new character tonight.
 
Everyone going nuts about the inclusion of Sonic in this and Brawl because he isn't a Nintendo-exclusive character, but bring up Solid Snake or Mega Man and everyone's just "meh." I mean the nerve of a crossover series having characters from other games. THE NERVE I TELL YOU.
Actually, bring up Snake and I'm pretty sure a lot of people go nuts as well. A lot of people really don't want him in for some reason!
 
When I was planning on registering for my first message board (Sonic HQ on ezBoard), I was going to go with "Shadowwing". He was Shadow... with green stripes! I know we joke about fan characters just being the official designs with different colors, but I was seriously about to go through with it.

Alas, "Shadowwing" was taken. So I went with "Shadow Hog" instead after a night of brainstorming; he was going to be Dr. Wily's attempt at adapting his old Robot Masters to be based on animals instead of humans. So, basically, it was Shadow Man from Mega Man 3, adapted onto Shadow the Hedgehog's body. (Yes, Shadow again. To be fair, this was 2002; Heroes hadn't happened yet, so Shadow was a relatively decent one-and-done character.)

I ended up using neither of them, in the end. We're all better off, I promise. I stuck with the name, though; I've been using it since 2002/2003, and I like consistency.

Just for clarity ... son gonic 666 is a joke character.

I've never had a real sonic fancharacter D:

Now megaman on the other hand..

By and large, you should keep it that way!

There are some good ones out there, but the vast swathe of it is... eeeeegh.

Actually, to tie this back into Smash, I wonder if this is why Sonic's alts in Brawl were all still blue, only changing the colors of his shoes and gloves. Unfortunately, that made distinguishing between multiple Sonics to be a bit of a chore.
 
Well, one of creator got a job (Which is AbyssWolf) so he have to dropped the project, I think.

He has stated that while he and his partner are working (I think Abyss Wolf got a job at Gameloft ? It was some mobile gaming company, that im sure of), they have not given up on the game and still work on it every little chance they get. I have been waiting for that game for the longest.



Now back to catching up with whats going on in this thread, midterms have been a bitch to me so im barely posting D:.

Well, most of us went crazy that Mega Man got confirmed. A problem is that Mega Man thread lack the hypes because NeoGAF was down for good amount of times. When NeoGAF finally got up, we were worn out and ran out of hypes to post it on the forum, so we went nuts in chatroom and many forums went crazy.

You should see 2008 thread when Snake got confirmed. Many people thought that they were trying to fool them but when they found out that it's real then they went BAT CRAZY.

This is incredible

Well, I suppose you're going to be right one of these weeks, but I don't feel it. I predict... nothing of interest. Maybe the front of Xerneas's face. And then... another week of nothing.
 
lmao, this just reminded me of those awful awful sonic fan character designs I've read. I remember one in particular who was like this super powerful guy who could control fire, but he worked as a prostitute or something.
There's actually a wiki full of some of the worst, presented totally unironically, if you're brave enough. I'm a huge fan of the series, but I won't touch most of this stuff with a fifty-foot pole.

On the other hand, it has this fan fiction which is actually really friggin' awesome. The ending totally makes the whole thing.

Anyway if that wasn't enough awful for you, I learned while making this post that there's two of these damn things. Alas, I'm being told this one is much tamer. As if that's any comfort.
 
After playing Xenoblade Chronicles, I know now that Shulk needs to be in.
As a character whose damage is based on where it hits the enemy.
And he would be bottom tier because of it.
Yes
Seriously though, Shulk needs to be in smash

They should just switch Snake for a playable Metal Gear Gekko or something. It's taunt can be to moo.
and Ridley is still not in the game

Yeah so, granted I haven't been following SmashGAF for too long but I don't recall "weird sonic fan fiction crap" being part of the smash cycle..... I agree Heath, let's get this back on topic.

A couple pages ago I brought up the need for the DK series to be better represented when it comes to items/AT, specifically in the form of Rambi the Rhino and the frog you can ride (can't remember his name) anyone else have any ideas/wishes for new items or AT from under-represented series?
 
Pfft, SonicGAF wouldn't take this shit. We've got a pretty strict "no "awesome" fan art" rule.

I'm pretty much done, though.

I assume we are all immune to it know though.

To segway that to something brawl related, Do you think they will change the properties of wario's bike. I have used that bike so many times to just absorb damage and KnockBack, I road though lucario's final smash a bunch too. Do you think they will make it flimsy-er, maybe even more chunky
 
Was looking at screen shots today. Links wii u model feels off to me. For some reason I prefer how he looks in the 3ds version.

You say that like we're only allowed to strictly adhere to that shitty thing.

I mean, the fan stuff might be out of line, but c'mon. Don't go talking about the "cycle" like it's a good thing.
 
If you want to get this thread on topic, get some new info. We've pretty much exhausted everything possible at this point from the information we have.
 
Poor Sonic, he'll be loved again, someday.

When Nintendo buys SEGA's assets, or watch them burn to the ground out of what little spite may be left.
 
We should get something tonight.
Believe

You know as well as I that it's going to be a picture of nothing and no one.

Let start with a possibilities that we might get a new information tomorrow.

Hearing a bunch of easily debunked theories about why we might get a reveal tomorrow followed by a bunch of "sakurai nooo" isn't really compelling conversation either.

I think I prefer Sonic fanfiction over it.
 
Can you be more specific? Is there a particular detail that you feel's off?

The face, the hair, the way his pants and tunic fit in the Wii u version. Like he bought a couple sizes too big or something. It's most likely just me. I wouldn't say he looks bad. I just prefer how he looks on the 3ds.

I refuse to get hyped for the daily image. It's always setting yourself up for disappointments like that. At least if I go in expecting nothing, I can be pleasantly surprised on the rare days we get something.

If not Shulk, then Reyn or Dunban. Maybe Melia or Sharla. Riki or 7th.

Shit, I just listed the whole cast.

Well, I don't care. They're all pretty much awesome.
 
Last Friday we got a shot of Xerneas. It seems that sometimes Sakurai gives us a surprise for the weekend, I'm just being hopeful.

We got a shot of the back of Xerneas's head, with no context or clarification. Hopefulness is what makes that seem like a big deal.

Join us on the bitter, jaded side. We have booze.
 
I have not been able to keep up with SmashGAF since I got my new job, phew.

I'll be staying up for tonight's update for sure.

I'm mostly trolling / posting hyperbole. I've long felt Sonic is one of the most mangled and poorly handled legacy mascots in the entire medium. I fucking loathe Sega's general direction with the franchise. It's like the anti-Mario: much of why Mario has remained relevant and appealing to all ages, Sonic ignored and pissed away. Kind of ironic, and funny in retrospective.

Sonic's had his ups and downs but if you want my opinon, he's a punching bag for every little complaint someone may have for his games nowadays. His game's are certainly nowhere near as bad as they were when Shadow the Hedgehog and Sonic 06 were around.

You wanna see a true poorly handled mascot? Someone who had only stuck his foot into the game only to get thrown under a bunch of dudebro shooters?

 
So Sakurai will show Pikachus backside, and the front of Yveltal today and be like "I'm serious, there's nothing to announce on Pokemon XY. Go away"

What's that you say? TONIGHT IS THE NIGHT?!?

It looks fine to me. I don't see anything like glitches, awful story lines or swords anywhere in this one.

Its what I don't see is whats worrying me, but that is for another time.

You can get one character in, any character you want, but your favorite character has to go.

Who do you choose.
 

It honestly makes sense. The playstyle of Shulk's positioning is a would be a great hold over from his game and would present unique fighting style for a character. In addition, it would help advertise X. Shulk would also have the benefit of more British voice acting in Smash, which is always a good thing.

Trust your Sakurai, you know it to be true.

Oh and Reyn needs to be in as an Assist Trophy. The game otherwise cannot handle him.

screw Shulk, clearly the mighty Heropon Riki must be playable!
But that would also mean that "Dun Dun" would also need to be in.
