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

My avatar's background is odd.

Any idea why?

You didn't apply transparency. It's crazy obvious with the black theme lol

Sounds like a dead or dirty drive. Try cleaning it when you can, if that doesn't work you'll have to replace the drive (or buy a new one since that's probably not worth it).

You could always jailbreak it and install a USB loader, but without a drive you'd have to jump through some hoops to add your game images to it.

:( Maybe I should just buy a Wii U at this point.
 
So a bit off topic, but I think playing Super Smash Bros. Brawl just broke my Wii and my warranty is out. What do GAF?

Details: Been playing a lot of 1 against 3 team matches with the rest of the characters set on random and Level 9 to start training for a Brawl tourney at my uni, but I guess it overclocked my Wii or something and right before another match it gave me an error reading and forced me to eject the disc and restart my Wii. Once I restarted it, the disc reader sounded a bit funky. Almost really clicky.

Now whatever game I put in there, it won't read it, except for Brawl which it gets from the title screen on the Wii menu, but then gets an error reading once it starts the actual game.

Please tell me this is salvageable and cheap to fix. I have a Wii Disc Lens Cleaner but I lent it to another friend so I can't immediately fix it.

Buy a wii U :)

poor guy, now you can't play Project M

:P
 
If Toon Link can survive, I'm highly skeptical of any other unique characters getting axed.
Couldn't have said it better myself. The only character that I can see getting cut at this point is Snake, but not because of time or roster limits.

The roster should hit 50 characters easily. No SSE taking up additional dev time, Namco being brought in to streamline things further, and the character roster being the same for both consoles should go a long way.
 
Your disc reader might be borked or need cleaning. I had the same problem and had to send it to Nintendo, they replaced it with the new version. I have a disc cleaner that worked for a bit but eventually it had to be sent in.

Pretty sure my warranty expired already. If I tell them that Super Smash Bros. Brawl broke my Wii, will they give me a free disc reader repair? :D

Personally expecting 42ish max.

Pretty much. Snake's the only potential cut due to licensing. And Sakurai's not a fan of cutting characters so he'll do what he can to get everyone back. It's partly why I expect Mewtwo and/or Roy to return, since Sakurai must have been aware of the fanbases they had in Smash.

It's crazy to think of how much of a difference 8 characters would make. I get all excited just seeing 1 new or returning character so imagine those extra 8 being included to hit 50. I really hope it happens even I'm leaning more towards 42 myself.
 
I don't understand how some people are surprised by Rosalina's addition, even before the Galaxy stage reveal I thought she had pretty good chances of making it and after the Galaxy stage was revealed I thought her addition would be inevitable and I was right. She definitely had WAY more chances than w/e other obscure characters people were expecting to get in.
*cough* cough* Ridley *cough* cough*

It mostly helps that she represents a generation of Mario games that Mario himself hasn't been updated to showcase. If not for that she'd be a pretty outlandish choice.
 
But if Snake comes back... who is he going to be?
Old Snake?
Big Boss?
Solid Snake?
Party hard Snake?
Santa Snake?

sorry

Still I would like to see more veterans returning and specially Ganondorf with a new moveset.
 
If Konami will allow it, I believe Sakurai will bring Snake back. He is no doubt rightfully proud of his work on that character. And Snake is so unique, both in terms of his character and his gameplay.

Ike seems more vulnerable. They can only add so many blue-haired lords before it starts to feel redundant, and since Chrom is all but an inevitability... Although, Chrom might be more unique than we think -- perhaps he'll be paired with Lucina to pay homage to the pair-based gameplay in Awakening? A father-and-daughter duo... Seems ambitious from a design standpoint, but anything's possible with Sakurai.

If Ike were cut, and if Roy didn't make it for whatever reason, I think it'd be awesome if an Ike/Roy combo pack were made available as DLC. Preferably free -- Nintendo could finally make good on the Wii Connect 24 idea of waking up one morning and finding you have a new Smash Bros. character downloaded. :)
 
Cheers.

If we're to assume the Smash 4 roster is going to include 40 characters, let's try and figure out who gets cut!

Diddy Kong
Yoshi
Wario
Zelda/Sheik
Ganondorf
Ice Climbers
R.O.B

Metaknight
King Dedede
Falco
Wolf
Captain Falcon
Pokemon Trainer (Squirtle, Ivysaur and Charizard)
Lucario
Ike

Ness
Lucas
Mr. Game and Watch
Snake

19 + 10 = 29

Basically, I'm expecting 11 more newcomers/melee returners.

lol @ Ice Climbers and Dedede getting cut.

Yeah I always thought she had a really good chance of making it especially after being playable in
SM3DW
. I think the biggest surprise is how Sakurai decided to use her with Luma, instead of on her own, making her fighting style all the more intriguing.
 
Wasn't there a fight game blogger with a rep for knowing rosters whom claimed to have inside info on the smash roster?

Didn't he guess Villager, Rosalina, trainer and mega man?
 
Characters are going to be cut.
Maybe a few but not a lot. Maybe Snake and characters that share similar movesets such as Lucas, Ike, & Wolf. I really wish Jigglypuff would get the axe but chances are almost non-existant at this point.

Ridley isn't an obscure character. He's been in more games than Rosalina has.
