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

Oh man, awesome. That was worth the wait.

Although it also just makes me want a Rosalina reveal that much more.

Tomorrow.

I think she'll be playable too. Starship Mario seems to be part of the stage instead of the Comet Observatory, so I don't think we'll see Rosie in the stage.

man all I can think about now is how the inevitable DKCR and/or DKCTF stage is gonna look

Don't tease me.
 
I can't get over how beautiful that stage looks.

then I realize it's weird gimmick will get boring and annoying after the 5th or 6th time and never play on it again ._.
Not at all. Think about the music that'll play here, dude. Galaxy's soundtrack is amazing.
 
Oh, my, YES!

It looks glorious. Been waiting so long for this stage to finally be unveiled! Whenever we get more footage I cannot wait to see this stage in motion :D
 
I'm hoping that this does mean Rosalina.

She's been pushed quite a bit by Nintendo lately, with her appearances in the latest 2 Mario Karts, as NPC (at least what has been shown so far) in the new Mario Party game on the 3DS (with her own board even), her original intended appearance in 3DS Mario Tennis (which Luma took instead cause of time restraints), and being
unlockable in 3D World
.
 
This stage doesn't point to Space Peach being playable.

Looking at the top-right of this one, does anyone else feel like the larger moon might be playable? Like, if you hop up onto it you can snap into its gravity. It looks too big to just be a background detail.
 
I had speculated in the IRC that this stage would have a special gravity mechanic!

I was wrong about how they would implemented it, though: I figured you would be able to travel fully around the stage, and that it would have a black hole in the middle for meteor smashes.

But hey, I'll put the second part of my speculation here for posterity: the WiiU Sonic stage will most likely use a very, very similar, if not identical, mechanic, seeing as Lost World has a very similar gravity mechanic, and it seems kind of silly to let this really neat mechanic only get used on one stage. What's more, we already know from Sonic's debut trailer that his stage curves like how this one does.

That's what I'm hoping for. There wouldn't be much point to the gravity gimmick if all it does is make the stage not look flat.
 
Don't tease me.
And then it'll just wind up just being another generic log bridge over a raging river for the third/fourth time in a row, but this time with a slightly more Returns-y looking jungle.

I'm personally rooting for either minecarts *finally* showing up in the DKC-portion of Smash or them somehow integrating the silhouette stages from Returns.
 
Remember, that's what people said about Toon Link when the Spirit Tracks stage was shown, and look how that turned out.

She's still got a chance. :/

She's definitely the most interesting choice for a Mario newcomer. Now excuse me while I hide from all the Bowser Jr./Toad/Waluigi fans.

Either of those ideas would be fantastic to implement in a stage. Sakurai's got a lot of stuff to pick from with Returns/Tropical Freeze.

Yea i hope it doesn't too. I could see her having a distinct move set that seperates her from being peach clone but I would prefer if some other franchises' got more reps first. She would make a good assist trophy though.

I would like either of those 3 in the game, but I still think Rosalina is the most interesting and has the most potential for an interesting moveset.
You could give her a whole theme of space-based magic (like summon gravity fields etc.), she has a wand and she also has Lumas to throw around.
The only one I see to be interesting beyond her is Bowser Jr. if only for his paintbrush making him a potential polearm user (that also is >>>> Krystal jftr).

Whether or not this is the only part of the stage, I love what I'm seeing.

But it would be crazy if that was the case.

I guess that edges make sense here. Making a full planetary level that was gravity based would probably end up being a cluster fuck. I'm sure they probably tested it, or at least I hope.

"yeah...this is probably gonna be my faaavvoorite smash..."
In my head

lol
 
Allow me to cry in the corner because this isn't going to be present in the 3DS version. It is so beautiful! Now give us Rosalina, Sakurai. Make it happen~
 
OH YEAH! Surprised no one noticed to be honest.

Rosalina for Smash would be cool, I guess and I mean Waluigi could always be grouped with Wario so there's hope yet.

Somebody did mention it just now :P And people were hoping for a Galaxy stage reveal when that shot popped up, but I think many just wrote it off as part of the nighttime phase for Battlefield.
 
A question, was this always in peach's pictures on the smash bros site?

Yes.

You misread. I said I hope it means Rosalina. I just used "does mean" to emphasize it. :P

Mini-Link has precedent, and so do stages based on the previous consoles 3D Mario game.

Nailed it
 
I can't find the link, but it's in some of his interviews. He's just bashing on Nintendo building up the hype and making fun of them for making their biggest news the Wii Fit Trainer.

Nintendo's trolling did its job.
I like to imagine Reggie suggested this to Sakurai to get back at Keighley,
Almost certainly not true, but I can dream can't I?

Also I wonder how the 3DS version will use Streatpass.
 
As a gamer, you should be happy to be getting a video game console
I guess. Thing is, I just got a brand new console (PS3... Yeah, I am extremely late to the party), there is a ton of games I want to buy, plus two or three 3DS titles... I just have no money for the Wii U. I am starting to hope Smash isn't released until late 2014. But that is off-topic, I guess.
