Stages that feel like you are part of the world are so much better.

Even you don't like Mario Bros or 75m at least you are fighting in the location rather than them being the backdrop to some random platforms.

When it comes to stages, I'm always gameplay first. I still consider Dreamland 64 to be the best stage in the series, and it's a nonsensical floating platform hovering in front of a blurry background.

I mean, I like it when they're fully integrated, but if it doesn't work, don't force it.

 

[-Horizon-]

I want more musical/rhythm based stages.

 

[afoni]

dbz stage

 

[SmithnCo]

I'd be surprised if Lumiose City wasn't a stage in the 3DS version. Maybe a successor to Saffron City.

 

[MrSaturn99]

For me: Dat Pokemans

But there's gotta be something more to it than that, though. Everyone's always saying how it's one of the best Smash stages of time and idk. I always liked it, but was never crazy about it. Sector Z and Ancient Kingdom was where it was at.

I'd be surprised if Lumiose City wasn't a stage in the 3DS version. Maybe a successor to Saffron City.

I'd rather have Castelia City from B/W, but it'll probably end up being Lumiose. Who knows.

Brawl it out in a cafe! Coffee, tables, and waitresses everywhere!

Anything new?

 

[MrSaturn99]

Anything new?

Since when? Last major news was Sonic's confirmation earlier this month.

 

[Anura]

It's been a sad month for SmashGAF....

 

[MrSaturn99]

Not me. I feed on SmashGAF's disappointment. Bwahaha.

 

[Anura]

Not me. I feed on SmashGAF's disappointment. Bwahaha.

You Sir, are a monster.

 

[IntelliHeath]

Since when? Last major news was Sonic's confirmation earlier this month.

Don't forget that we got Xerneas!

Not me. I feed on SmashGAF's disappointment. Bwahaha.

I think you are secretly sadden by lack of updates but you wouldn't admit it.

 

[afoni]

Not me. I feed on SmashGAF's disappointment. Bwahaha.

I feed on both that and their desperation for new info.

 

[MrSaturn99]

You Sir, are a monster.

Having stuck around the likes of Nsider and Gamefaqs for too long, one becomes many things.

Don't forget that we got Xerneas!

How could I forget? Laughed so hard at Sakurai's comment with that.

I think you are secretly sadden by lack of updates but you wouldn't admit it.

If by "saddened" you mean we haven't seen any Mother content yet, then yeah sure.

otherwise I'm pretty chill with the lulls.

I feed on both that and their desperation for new info.

We'll get some soon enough. After getting three veterans in such quick succession, I kinda suspected we'd get a month like this. lol

 

[Platy]

Nooo! There would be so many stage hazards and balls everywhere.

You people already have Final Destination AND the Dojo !

Now give me my stage hazards =P

....just not a fast scrolling stage please

 

[Anura]

That lip is the only stage hazard we need.

It's been a sad month for SmashGAF....

It has been a very very sad month.. Hoping for November to bring us the goods!

Eh, I'd rather have a good stage...

My favorite stage from the whole series is probably Smashville, it's a platform with a really nice background.

 

[-Horizon-]

Anything new?

We've all learned that WFT is Sakurai's favorite character

Spoiler

to put in compromising positions

 

[zroid]

Ganondorf tomorrow

He's the scariest character

 

[-Horizon-]

Ganondorf tomorrow

He's the scariest character

What about Ridley Waluigi Boo?

Its gonna be 4 different shades of Luigi.

Pro-3DS because I only own a 3DS and if I'm honest, it's looking more impressive on 3DS than the Wii U. Wii U's a lot more capable of what they're doing. Also, i'm more of a handheld gamer, I haven't much time to sit there staring at a TV screen for hours upon end.

I never said the Wii U game would be crushed by the 3DS, but the 3DS game will crush it in sales, if we're taking Nintendo's latest sales report into account.

EDIT: Gameplay wise, it's going to be extremely similar. Fight on a platform, win. The gameplay's not going to change. It'll be easier on the Wii U due to a better control stick, but gameplay will vastly be the same.

Yay, sales!

Lets be real, the Wii U will be the better/definitive version.

Whether or not you're looking at a tv or a 5inch screen, gaming is gaming. But handheld is more accessible, I'll give you that.

I liked every single stage from Smash Bros 64 and Melee (yes, even the Ice Climbers stage) but Brawl had some really rotten ones. 75m, Hanenbow and Spear Pillar are the worst ones. 75m was an absolute pain to move anywhere while everything is out to get you, it was WAY too hazardous. Hanenbow was just a mess to fight in. Spear Pillar... it was cool until you get these asshole legendaries flipping the level around which made it unplayable.

Spear Pillars was awesome, provided so many good laughs when playing with others. Of course it was absolutely horrid for competitive play. But I'm pretty sure no one would pick the stage if they are intending to play that way.

New Pork City's size was cool at first, but it's so poorly designed that it wears off quick. I cannot see large stages like that working on 3DS. Unless Sakurai has some tricky solution. I plan on getting both so lets hope so!

 

[Troubled Bat]

Ganondorf tomorrow

He's the scariest character

After Captain Falcon?! It'll be Skullkid. ;3

What about Ridley Waluigi Boo?

Its gonna be 4 different shades of Luigi.

Speaking of shades.. When are we going to see alternate colors!

 

[Charles Foster Kane]

Sigh. So when do you guys and gals think we'll be getting anything substantial?

 

[FlynnCL]

Its gonna be 4 different shades of Luigi.

Speaking of shades n' stuff, has there been any screenshot released that shows any alternate costume/colouring of any character?

Edit: wow! Beat very specifically!

 

[zroid]

I said scariest, not scardiest

 

[Troubled Bat]

Next week!

I was just too fast! Haha. Seriously, when will we alternate colors! I want to see new ones added/improved. Then colors for the new characters. ^^

 

[Drago]

Sigh. So when do you guys and gals think we'll be getting anything substantial?

next week... on gaming websites...

 

[Anura]

Next week!

Wasn't this said a week ago?

 

[Troubled Bat]

Wasn't this said a week ago?

No. Plus new month!

 

[Charles Foster Kane]

You'd think that with Nintendo's results, they'd want to show new stuff to spark more interest.

 

[SmithnCo]

Sigh. So when do you guys and gals think we'll be getting anything substantial?

TONIGHT

 

[I'M FINISHED!]

Final Destination's background will probably be a classic HeadOn infomercial.

 

[-Horizon-]

I said scariest, not scardiest

Fine, it'll be Villager with an axe behind Luigi, shown on Luigi's Mansion stage.

Wasn't this said a week ago?

You forgot that Sakurai saw his shadow this year, you add one more week to every guess.

I was just too fast! Haha. Seriously, when will we alternate colors! I want to see new ones added/improved. Then colors for the new characters. ^^

Wasn't there one screenshot with Fox in different colors? Or am I remembering wrong...lol

TONIGHT

We get nothing

 

[Sponge]

TONIGHT

I'M FEELIN IT TOO

 

[Azure Dream]

Rewatching the trailers, it just occurred to me (probably someone else mentioned it before), the train stage is going to be weird, with a non-playable Toon Link next to Toon Link. Technically they are different Links, and they'll be wearing different outfits, but still, a little odd.

Spoiler

Maybe that means I can hold out hope for Twilight Link/Midna...

 

[theprodigy]

yeah, like Donkey Kong getting delayed to 2014
wait

Nintendo doesn't like to do things that make sense.

Oh wow. Very well made.

 

[I'M FINISHED!]

So many Star Wars parodies...

The next Star Wars movie should be a parody of Family Guy.

Sakurai needs to take that lightsabre out of Smash, it is gross, he should replace it with a Proton pack.

He's a completely different style, and if they were really that concerned he could be removed from the stage when you're playing as Toon Link. Other games do similar things.

It was cool.

 

[BigEvilTurtle]

I'm a little fearful of how the stages will be in SSBWU/SSB3DS. Stages got progressively worse with each game, Brawl having a ton I can see how it might be hard to create a suitable play area for certain types of represented games, but some of the stages from Brawl baffle me.

Items worry me too, but I'm sure my good man Sakurai will prove me wrong! He created one of my favorite game series after all; his level design skill is superb.

 

[BassForever]

Can't wait to wake up and see more nothing!

 

[qq more]

we'll be getting another metroid fire burn burn to the ground stage but with flame hyenard as the stage hazard because ridley is too big to fit in the stage not to mention ridley would be just a clone just like wolf and lucario


qwerty

 

[foxuzamaki]

Not feeling a megaton tonight, so no hyping from me, sorry.

 

[Sponge]

Not feeling a megaton tonight, so no hyping from me, sorry.

I'm gonna just sit and hope we get that Galaxy stage like always.
