Apex 2014 | Fighting Game Tournament | Jan 17-19

They should have made PM finals on sunday, those matches were awesome.

Forreal! I can't believe they still had finals for the event that had more entrants than Brawl on Saturday. I don't know if it's because of fear of it not being officially made by Nintendo or if it's just bias or something or what I don't know.

It takes time for a fan made mod to be accepted into the competitive circle. It took DOTA years of modification and play to be accepted as a legitimate competitive game.

In any case Project M did well at Apex so the future is bright for it. About the only thing that can effectively kill it is a Smash 4 that is godlike.
 
c'mon let's not pretend like it's the same.

I'm not saying that at all, I'm just saying that if Nintendo's not providing a comp. viable game then the community itself is and will continue to do so -- even if it's built on the foundation of Nintendo's work.

Melee = Singles
Brawl = Doubles

Problem solved! :)

You could never get anyone to agree to Brawl only being Doubles. Most players focus on singles because they don't have actual teammates to practice with often enough. Same thing for Melee doubles.

It's a nice dream though.
 
I feel like at the very least Smash 4 will be Brawl without tripping and better balance (no ridiculously overpowered character like MK). Anything more is just a cherry on top. Should be better than Brawl.

Unless sakurai drops the item switch or some shit.

Remove DI

Remove fast falling
 
Nooooooope. Ignoring the whole community is Nintendo's M.O.

But that's okay, because the community will continue to just develop Project M and stuff -- no big deal.

I highly doubt the Smash community will be able to develop something like Project M for SSB4 since homebrew isn't possible (as of yet) for the Wii U.

Remove teching (may as well, it's effectively gone in Brawl anyway LOL)

Remove the short hopping

Oh no, not for Smash 4 -- Smash Community doesn't really seem to be in a hurry to move to HDTVs or anything anyway. PM can still thrive off of Brawl and stuff. But you can actually play PM on the Wii U through the vWii and the hackless method, so there's that.
 
At the very least, SSB4 has to make SSBB obsolete. That's all I can ask from Sakurai, and it's not asking much.

SSBB wouldn't be obsolete, at long as people pushing for Project M. I truly hope that Super Smash Bros Wii U would be much better than Brawl. They already announced few right things so far. Tripping would be gone, The gameplay would be between Melee and Brawl, etc.

I'm concerned about gameplay between Melee and Brawl, since recently trailer seem to show that it's almost slow as Brawl.

'we found that the owner of the system most often acts as player 1, and therefore only felt it would be fair to reward the host for having friends over to play by giving him or her a slight edge in certain situations'

idk some shit like that

I would agree with you there. Since his opinions in few things seem to be silly if translation is 100% correct.

"the smash...community?"

*iwata laughs*

Remember Sakurai always listen to quiet fanbases, at least that's what he said.

Well with Brawl they took away Melee shit so I expect Smash 4 to be bare bones Brawl.

Take away DI or some stupid shit

Please don't! I can't live without DI!

The main problem with Brawl is that it's so slow and defensive play is much better. What we need is a better neutral game. And more combo potential as well as some adv. techs to reward high-speed offensive gameplay.

Well, I might be in minority but I'm concerned that Sakurai might screwed up Smash 4, and people would go back to Melee and Project Melee then we would have a reason to see Project Melee U on Super Smash Bros Wii U. Only if people manage to make home-brew work on Wii U and Smash U.
 
He said he'd rather listen to the "silent majority" rather than the vocal minority. AKA casuals

Makes sense. He doesn't really see smash in a competitive light, and everyone else likes it. "Hey the people you don't care for don't like the game you made ". It surprised me when he actually said he was gonna make it more a bit more like melee.
 
this whole time I've been watching Twitch, I had no idea you could permanently hide the chat without having to manually do it everytime

Man if Brawl were like Melee, we wouldn't have to go through this slow, painful torture...

Hurry up Zero, go 20XX for Brawl and finish this already.
