Super Smash Bros Wii U & 3DS Thread 4: New Year, Old Arguments

No way man, Jigglypuff is so good.

It's a shame what Sakurai did to him/her in Brawl but Jiggly was so fun in melee.
 
Master Hand takes clear inspiration from Wham Bam Rock of Kirby Supers Star, another game Sakurai directed.

So Master Face would be a horribly racist caricature?

Agreed. Jiggs has loads to offer in her fighting style (walling is a freaking blast). Sakurai has always loved Jiggs, too, since he considers it the "joke character of Smash Bros.". He needs to give more ummmph back to her rest, though; that thing is a risky joke in Brawl, whereas it was a risky trump card in Melee.

I'm fine with jiggs staying, but if another pokemon character were going to be cut due to there being too many pokemon, I would cast my vote for kicking out Jigglypuff and giving the slot to like... anyone else. I feel like Jigglypuff stays in because Jigglypuff always has, not because the character is actually important or anyone's favorite.
 
He's less kind of racist in the new one

I would be ok with Jigglypuff getting replaced by a more interesting Pokemon. I understand she's one of the original 12, but she's always felt like a joke character to me. Give Mewtwo her spot if need be.

It has to be wigglytuff.

Everytime one is in the anime, its always on some gangasta shit.

I don't know, I find Smash Bros. "story" charming since the message is basically "it was all just one big fucking game for your entertainment". Fittingly it is the approach taken with Nintendo's games since story has always been at the backseat and wrapped around the game design, hence it is befitting of a Nintendo crossover where the story is literally playing a game.

The scenario of something like Marvel vs. Capcom with a "world's collide"/"fate of two worlds" motif works because it is very much like a comic book storyline in nature even though it is far more lighthearted, hence being befitting of the source material. The new Mortal Kombat's storyline was good too because it was self aware of the fact that the entire game is a reboot of the original series.

I am gonna respectfully dissagree.

I think it could fit plenty of story.

I also can tell you universes collide is not a comic specific thing really, in many mediums universes colliding has offered interesting narrative.

I am waiting on a 2.5 installment of RPG series who's entire plot is kind of that


Er... What? Smash 64's intro took place on a desk. Yet this desk transformed into a Marioesque level because of imagination. There is nothing stopping the game from jumping to different worlds which can easily be seen with Melee's adventure mode. SSE didn't have a bad story because they were toys, it was bad cos the writer is a hack.
As a jumbled up bunch of levels sure.

On massive scale of worlds where worlds can hold bunches and bunches of people, that seems all types of dumb.\






But you know what, its differeces of opnion, its a subjective matter and we should probobly drop it at this point.

I'm just gonna be like

" the hand this is turrble , dont space battles you fiends"

and you are gonna be like

"toys and using your imagination are great, weren't you a child you despicable robot man "



So lets just leave it here.



Question though.

If you could pick a stage for smash U and or 3ds what would it be, why would you want it , and what would it do .
 
I know the Type A and B music got into Brawl, but does Nintendo actually have the Tetris license to incorporate things like a stage? (Considering every company under the sun seems to be allowed to use Tetris)
 
Village, you need to stop using your imagination to think people are insulting you. I simply addressed the point that SSE mundane generic world used to unify all the characters wasn't down to them being toys/trophies and gave an example of when the game didn't even care to unify the characters.

In fact SSE actually had a subplot mixing up worlds, the infamous great labyrinth was all the previous levels jumbled together. They could have used the explanation for that level as a reason for all the Nintendo worlds colliding together.

So imagination vs colliding universes, toys vs the real characters. Doesn't really matter, both are better than what SSE gave us. It was a bad story with bad execution. So bad in fact it need a Dojo entry to explain how of what was going on.

So I leave you with this tangent of a thought, if Master Hand is meant to be the child playing with his toys, who is Tabuu? The child's mother with a vacuum cleaner?

I know the Type A and B music got into Brawl, but does Nintendo actually have the Tetris license to incorporate things like a stage? (Considering every company under the sun seems to be allowed to use Tetris)
Well "Type A" and "Type B" are not copyrighted names as any puzzle game under the sun tends to call their music that and the music itself is public domain. Nintendo doesn't need permission to use them even if is the association is obvious. However making a stage based on Tetris would require permission from the Tetris Company.

In fact Tetris 1.0 of the GameBoy version used a different tune for Type A so in an alternative timeline no one would know what korobeiniki is.
 
I hope we get 50 characters and that most of the new ones are awesome and surprising like Wii Fit Trainer.

If we have 50 characters and a ton of stages, I can wait til Holidays 2014.

If you meant 50 characters slots, I'm fine with that. Either way, I would rather to let Sakurai to complete the game on his own term because I know Sakurai could make both games as amazing as it can be. I don't care how long it would take him to. However the contract with Namco-Bandai might contain the limitation of schedule and dates for the game have to be done by then.

Also best part about new Super Smash Bros is hypeness and speculations then we finally got the games in our hands.
 
Jigglypuff is one of the originals, you can't just cut it! While it is somewhat of a joke character, that doesn't mean it should be cut. I want Mewtwo back as much as anyone, but it shouldn't be at the cost of Jigglypuff.
 
Yeah, I consider Jigglypuff to be a "Smash Bros." character, in the sense that its representation in Smash Bros. has taken on a life of its own, like Captain Falcon, Fox, and Marth. Dropping Jigglypuff for any reason is not acceptable as far as I'm concerned.
 
Jigglypuff is a Smash tradition, it's not getting cut. Maybe it'll have some new moves to celebrate the Fairy type or something.
 
I really think Jigglypuff adds a very unique fighting style to smash. I don't think Jigglypuff should be dropped for any reason.

Moon Blast as the final smash? Yeahhh I'm down for that.

It'd be cutting a unique (and in the right environment, powerful) playstyle that wouldn't translate well to anything else, and a staple cast member since the beginning. It's like removing Luigi from a Mario game.

Like all 3D Mario games before Galaxy? (not counting 64 DS)
 
I gotta be honest, I wouldn't mind seeing Jigglypuff replaced for a different Pokémon. It just seems like a really random choice of Pokémon. I don't think it's going to happen though.

What was the initial reason for her inclusion? Anime popularity? I'd think Meowth was a better choice in that case.

Yeah, I think that was it. As much as I'd love having a playable Meowth, the time for that has long passed, I think. It would have been great, though!

Now is the time for playable Sylveon. Believe.

Every game has a WTF character.

64 had Jigglypuff. Melee had Mr. Game & Watch. Brawl had ROB. SSB4 has Wii Fit Trainer.

Jigglypuff was probably added because Sakurai likes pink balls.
 
Besides anime popularity, Jigglypuff was probably relatively easy to make compared to other characters. As said above, dem pink balls.

Do you not want qq to play the game? He won't touch it with a 10 foot pole.

Wasen't Jigglypuff insanely popular in Japan (around Smash 64 atleast)?
Jiggs is my main, and I will riot if the little guy is taken out.
 
I kind of wish Jigglypuff was never included in the series to begin with, but now that we've been stuck with her for three games it's too late to take her out. I don't want any cuts.
 
Each character on the 3DS version should have a Touchscreen final smash. Kirby's would be his Canvas Curse gameplay and uh, that's all I've got.
 
Agreed.
ALBW Link on the other hand...

Oh and Jigglypuff can go too if she's going to be as awful as she was in Brawl with nearly all her specials being useless.

Before they confirmed Toon Link I was hoping that A Link Between Worlds Link would make it in in his place.

I'd really like to see Hilda and Ravio make it in...
 
So how many newcomers do we have?

Rosalina
Megaman
Villager
Wii Fit Trainer

So that's 4...

I hope we get more. :(

For Ravio (ALBW spoilers!)
I'd love to see him at the very least as an alternate costume for Toon Link as unlikely as that is. Definitely one of my favorite supporting characters in Zelda in recent memory.

Brawl had 18 newcomers. I doubt we're going to approach that number this time, but of course there are going to be more than 4.

there was a rumor a while back which listed 6 characters, and i believe that those 4 were part of the 6. The last remaining ones were Pac Man and Little Mac.

i can't remember where i saw it from though.
