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

For last two Decembers, we got a Direct from Nintendo. I'm pretty sure that they might do it soon as possible.

Problem is that it's hard to predict which week that they would host a Direct on.

2011 - Dec 27
2012 - Dec 5

If they do have one in December, It'll probably be before VGX so that they can spread the word that something big will be announced.
 
Daily reminder that IGN makes terrible Pokemon lists (someone before in the first "Smash sequel" thread claimed it's a legit source).

Come on Doggie, no need to start this up in here. IGN's opinions on a subjective matter doesn't reflect the integrity of their source.

Nah I remember someone here saying "IGN is credible Pokeyman source!" ignoring other polls (which are far more legitimate, like the one being made Nintendo).

With that said it's more on claiming IGN being legit in the first place. Fucking IGN as a legit source.

I'll be honest, as someone who legitimately feels that Game Freak still makes good Pokemon designs, and in fact I really don't dislike any of their creations beyond a tongue-in-cheek sense, I just feel that you get too defensive about this stuff and it makes me, and people like me who respect the new designs without simultaneously bashing the old designs, look bad.

I really, really don't wish for a "Gen War" to break out in the Smash Brothers thread, the only war we should be having in here is Melee vs. Brawl.

Know what you stand for and stand for it, if someone is basing your actions off of boss doggie's than that really isn't a discussion worth having. Worrying about what he is doing is already too much effort on your part dude.

I apologize. Didn't really even want to bring it up. I just remember that one poster (starts with an S) using it back then. It was a really... odd... series of posts. Thought it was fun to rib on it.

With that said I was merely aiming for the "lol IGN" angle. It's not like the fubbed up with Smash news too. Didn't they misinterpret Sakurai's stuff before?

Yeah seriously, who ever does that should be smashed.
 
Sports/Party stuff.

Since he originated in those games.
Peach already sort of uses the sports games in her moveset.

I honestly think Waluigi over someone more specific to the mainline or RPG Mario games would be way overkill for someone who was created for the sole purpose of being Wario's partner in spin-off mario games. I don't hate him and he'd probably be done well in Smash, but I do think just going off the principal of it he'd be an incredibly boring addition.
 
Chrom would start fast but as the game goes on he becomes slow as hell

damnit it was meant to be a potshot at ign and not pokeymans oh god i'm sorry

With Luigi having been added to the Smash series while offering no importance to the Super Mario series at the time, I feel that Waluigi is pretty much in the same position, and could definitely be added in a future Smash title (not too confident about him making a debut in this one, however).

I've also never heard anyone say that Waluigi would be boring, ha. His proportions alone are enough to make for an interesting moveset if you ask me. :P But who knows. He could end up being a clone for all we know.

...Waluigi is in the same position now as Luigi was in 1999?

I needed a good laugh.
 
Why do people want Waluigi so bad? What would his moveset even be?

Well besides what everyone thinks of him from the sports/party games.

He knows Kickboxing/Muay Thai, one of those. The guy has an explosive nature for the love of bombs. Then if you wanted to add his ability from the Striker games, Wall-Luigi! (Where he makes purple vines appear.) Just adding all that, well you can get pretty creative.

Then of course, you can add sports related things for him. And he's also really good at Tennis, so could be one reason why he had a racket in the assist trophy.
 
Or he could just be a goofy, clumsy villain. He may actually mean to do harm, but is so incompetent that he doesn't do a very good job at being "evil". That alone makes him endearing to me. I have no problems with him not getting in (let's be realistic, we know it's not likely to happen), but I'd be down with it if it happens.

The Tennis racket is there because his debut was in Mario Tennis.

Anyway, Waluigi would be pretty easy to make a moveset for, considering all of the sports and party games he's been in. They could probably throw in a Mario kart reference or two if they really wanted.

My sentiments exactly.
 
If they want to reveal Zelda/Rosalina/anybody new, tonight's the night to do it. I know Thanksgiving is a U.S. thing, but it's about time someone gives us Smash food for thought.
 
Waluigi should have a G&W style "random" move where he hits a Mario Party dice block if he gets in.

It would actually be pretty cool to have a character that reps all the Mario sports/party games.
 
Plus he'd have the best taunt ever!

Which is why I said one reason as to why he has the racket.

My bad.

Yeah. It's a bit annoying that there's almost nothing on them despite the fact that they make up over half of all the games.
 
#teamwaluigi

because really who the fuck else is there
rosalina
bowser jr. fawful
paper mario goombella
geno mallow
queen bee
undo dog
ROB

I've always had a talent for making people laugh, my man.

(But seriously, that's totally how I see it.)
All that happened to Luigi was he was passed on being in SM64. He was still the 2nd main playable character in every other mainline Mario game, not to mention how he was just iconic as gaming's 'player 2' in general.

By comparison Waluigi lives and dies by each new mario spinoff game, if people questioning if he was getting phased out when he was skipped out in MK7, though very likely only due to that game being rushed to save the 3DS.
 
Stop it. Just stop it, man.

MY HEART CAN'T TAKE IT. :'(

(I'd take Waluigi over any other potential newcomer.)

thank you thank you thank you thank you soooooooo much.

I needed a good laugh at someone wanting Waluigi and you gave me a good one. :p

Especially that bit where you compared Luigi during the 90s to Waluigi in today's time period. That was a great joke. :)
 
waluigi > rosy which would just be a peach clone anyways

waluigi > chrom which would just be a marth clone

waluigi > ridley and krool cause i give up on them


WALUIGI TIME

Last I checked, Sakurai is the director of Smash, not you. It doesn't matter what anyone in the world thinks a character's move set may be, Sakurai could do something different.

Always annoyed me when people say "X will be a clone anyways" or "I only see X being a clone". Congratulations on not having an open mindset. :p

it was maddening considering the fact they put Wiggler, Queen Bee, and the most maddening of them all...Metal Mario.
 
But Luigi at least appeared in main games.

Waluigi feels like an afterthought. He's not even relevant in Wario's games, I don't think I've seen him in Wario Land and Warioware!
 
Ugh this game... Almost 3 years after the release of the 3ds and we're still waiting for it to come out. I don't even have the energy anymore to be excited about it. Wake me up in 2014 :P

if they were able to somehow port over MKWii's roster at least I would've gotten motherfuckin' FUNKY KONG

he better be back in MK8, that was such a bizarre but hilarious roster pick

As long as they don't bring back the stupid hidden stats bullshit back. It really annoyed me, I loved Funky Kong, but I don't want to use him all of the time.
 
Waluigi is the single most awful character Nintendo has created. Everything about him, from his voice, mannerisms, and design, seems specifically tailored to evoke feelings of utter disgust and hatred. There is literally nothing worse in the Mario universe than Waluigi.

This is exactly why he NEEDS to be playable in Smash. In his utter terribleness, there is something pure, something so purely awful it brings him back to being incredible. He's the Tommy Wiseau of the Mario universe; in other words, he is perfect.
