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

Shockingalberto has known a few things aswell, I remember in one of the WUST threads he found out about a game that made him feel indifferent towards to wiiU to fully onboard, and it wasent bayonetta 2 when it was announced that even caught him offguard. I do wonder if that game he found out about has been revealed yet.

Pretty sure EatChildren had heard some stuff about a potential Bayo 1 port as well.
 
Seeing that Pit has been revamped, do you think his killing potential has gone up or will he still be relying on a psuedo Puff "Fence of Pain" tactic?

I hope his knockback increased since the Wall of Pain tactic is really only viable with Puff and to an extent Kirby.

Are changes with Peach purely aesthetic or do you think he'll be a powerhouse like she was in Melee? Her recovery was amazing and her F-airs and D-airs and turnip game was toned down significantly in Brawl.

Will Mega Man be a purely spacing character? His Rush recovery move seems to only cover horizontally like Sonic's spring, except Mega Man doesn't benefit from the extra momentum given by spin moves.

Has Sonic's moveset changed at all since most of his specials were redundant? His only viable move in Brawl was B-air and he was considerably buffed in PM.

Let's talk gameplay and subtle changes guys.

If I recall correctly he has some sort of connection with NoA whether he has a friend that works there or he himself works there. Although the extent of his knowledge seems to be ambiguous.

Pit: I really hope the change on his (I'm assuming Side B) to the Upper Dash Arm is an attempt to give him more KO potential. He did a serviceable job in Brawl by being a character who could get you to ridiculous levels of damage but only had two real KO moves (Bair and forward smash). At the same time, Project M's Pit shows that "Jiggly - Rest + Best Projectile in the game" might not be so bad after all. If Sakurai goes in a similar direction, I'm fully on board. :P

Peach and Sonic are too early to call although I think the latter might err closest to his previous incarnation. Megaman looks like he's going to be either fucking batshit or just good with no in between.
 
Nintendo reveals newcomer Angry Bird(s). They also reveal a collaboration between the two teams to release Nintendo Birds, a Nintendo themed Angry Birds game on smartphones. Nintendo's way of easing into the mobile market.

Nintendo Birds sells millions and Angry Birds gets popular again thanks to Smash. Win-Win situation. Hyped for Thursday's mobile direct.
 
I certainly hope Sonic's buffed considerably to have more reliable killing moves. I mean, yeah, I know he's supposed to be that "death by a thousand cuts" kind of character (with some mind games sprinkled on top of that, with his multiple similar-looking but different-functionally Spin Dashes, which you mix up to keep opponents guessing), who racks up a lot of weak attacks and gets away with it because he's so damn fast, but those weak attacks aren't as useful in a game where you need to knock your opponent out of the ring.

He was disserviced by the lack of dash dancing in the game.

Brawl was much slower and the momentum from dashes were so minute that dashdancing lost all its purpose as a mindgame tool.
 
So ... any hopes for tomorrow ?

So .. what do you guys expect for tomorrow ????


I for one expect the reveal of a new newcomer ! =O

I am feeling that

SENTINEL will be revealed ! =O


...oh wait wrong thread xD
 
I was having a discussion here earlier where someone said Medusa wouldn't work well as a smash character without making it up. On the whim Ive been replaying uprising again and I have to say there is so many ideas they could use just based upon her boss battle in chapter 9. For example:

B- Laser Beam: shoots laser out of her eyes depending how long you charge you can temporarily petrify someone.
B-up- Teleport: used it a lot during battle against her
B-Over- Lobs projectiles like she did in Uprising
B-Down- hold her hand with the mouth on it that can absorb the attack

Her standard attacks can use her staff and snake hair to attack.

Final smash- her head detached from her body and she goes to her one eye form and flies around launching laser beams off her head.

I don't expect her or anyone other than Palutena to make it in but its nice to dream.
 
All points point to no, but the majority of people believe it

If you're talking about the actual leak, and not the powerpoint joke, then there's actually little to no evidence that this is a fake. All we can do right now is say we do or don't believe it, because there's just no real evidence to count it out.

Check the list, he's a dirty heathen from #TeamFake trying to spread propaganda and lies.
 
I think its safe to say that majority of nintendo directs from this point out will be newcomer reveals, sakurai cant casually release those on miiverse

Yeah, probably not every single direct, but at least those international big reveal ones will probably have a newcomer reveal.

If not a newcomer, at least maybe a feature revealed that is too much to explain in one image and caption haha
 
I hope they make a Smash Direct, because...you know, we probably still won't know much about the game's play modes, music, online, and possible 3DS/Wii U connectivity if that is still happening.

They'll likely do one once it's closer to release, and by that point, I'd rather stay in blissful ignorance and just wait to find it all out by myself.

I wouldn't resist a second if they announce a Smash Direct.

I really hope so. Even one a la the Kid Icarus Direct. Well not "how to play", but an overview on content.

When we get there though, yessssssssssss it will be exciting.
 
When does the Pic of the Day typically get uploaded? I'm in Houston (Central Time) if anyone's wondering.

Also, can someone do a Team Real tag for my Star-Lord avatar?

Nintendo will nerf him so quickly, within a decade for sure. T'is his fate.
 
I dont know whats come over me but I feel its time for another character reveal guise, any other time I would say that its too soon...but for some reason im feeling it tonight.
 
Now if only Rider could come outta the Cancerlimboverse like Quill and Thanos, but apparently Loeb making his son the new Nova is more important.
I wouldn't be surprised if Richie returns. Sam's comics have taken a nosedive in sales while GotG continues to sell well...hell, Sam Nova's comics dropped off the radar as of recently. Knowing Richie's popularity & his impending likelihood of use in the MCU, we may get our favorite Nova back in the foreseeable future. Both Loeb & Bendis even hinted at Richie's eventual return early in their respective cosmic comics.

My guess, they're gonna put Richie with the GotG since many people commonly associate him with the Guardians, anyway.....plus he helped Star-Lord think of forming the inter-galactic ass-kicking force.

Ah, Sentinel. Takes me back to my thoughtful and time-tested strategy... a strategy of intricacy, and intrigue... a strategy that went something like this:


HYPER SENTINEL FORCE
