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

Doesn't Tropical Freeze come out soon? :x

Too soon I would say.
Considering Sakurai bases the reveals on Japanese release dates, 13 days from now seems highly unrealistic.
hypothetically wouldn't that be like.. the shortest time between character reveals?

Japanese Release Date is Feb 13 for DKCR2. Nope, 5 days between Sonic and Toon Link.

The shortest time between character reveals so far was Toon Link (Sep 26) and Sonic (Oct 1), which was 5 days, followed by Rosalina (Dec 18) and Zelda (Dec 26), which was 8 days.

Wasn't there like a week or a couple of days from Toon Link to Sonic? Or whoever. I forget.

Edit: I was right!

I see, thanks for the info.
In that case, I don't see why not. It could happen.
 
I'm not sure if this means you'd prefer 5-6 or that you wouldn't be able to tell between a 6 and a 10 anyway, therefore whatever

...and I probably should've made the scale 1-9 cause G&W, and so 5 would be straight in the middle
as a matter of fact, anyone else who wants to answer, do it on a 1-9 scale pls
I mean while I can tell Brawl is slower than Melee, something in the exact middle between the two games would be too hard for me to tell if it was slower than Melee or not. I'm not that great competitively so only the most obvious of changes in Brawl ever stuck out to me before playing Project M.
 
So does anyone know what Lucario is doing in the daily pic?

I don't recognize that pose. Though I think it looks similar to its entrance pose in Brawl, but I don't remember there being so much "aura" around it.

Maybe his taunt when he has a lot of damage. Looks like a big effect for just aura though.
 
clearly Lucario is gonna turn into UMvC3 Zero and start doing Aura loops on everyone :lol

also, let's see, game speed survey:
ffdgh: 7/Project M speed
Intelliheath: 5-8 (assuming your original 5-9 was supposed to be slightly under Melee speed)
Alistair Roo: 4-6
Astrosanity: 5-...9? (I guess, if you can't really tell the difference)

for the record, I'll go with 7-8
 
Well, the people have spoken, and...

There's no such thing as too soon. The time between Toon Link and Sonic or Rosalina and Zelda were ridiculously short.
 
I see a couple of possibilities when DKC: Tropical Freeze's Japanese release rolls around in a couple of weeks. Either there's no Nintendo Direct and we get a Diddy veteran reveal, or there is and a new Smash trailer that reveals a Diddy + Dixie tag-team or Dixie herself as a newcomer is part of it.

I'm hoping it's the latter!
 
Well, the people have spoken, and...

All this Lucario hate is news to me. And I can't believe these people are convinced Lucario means no Mewtwo.

What, did they think that they were going to cut Lucario and replace him with Mewtwo? That's outrageous.

Also LOL at the person who is convinced "this means no Mewtwo" and then starts saying "is it me or did the graphics get worse?" SO MUCH SALT. hahah
 
So both December and January has two reveals, eh? Maybe Sakurai is accelerating the pace of character reveals?

I don't think 2 character reveals for February would be out of the question. Diddy could get revealed on the release date for DKC: Tropical Freeze while some other character could get revealed during a Nintendo Direct. And every main Direct (the bimonthly ones) has had a character reveal so I'm fairly certain that trend will continue.

Who's worthy to be revealed in a Direct though? People say Diddy could get revealed in a Direct, but so far only important characters have gotten Direct reveals. August had Luigi for Year of Luigi, October had Sonic because a returning 3rd party character is big news, and December had Rosalina who is a newcomer. Maybe there's hope for Palutena! :P
 
the videos so far sure aren't convincing me of that
Haha, I second that. Then again, we haven't seen much and have only seen one full match from an early build. It'll be impossible to draw any serious conclusions about Smash 4's speed or competitive significance until the game is actually out.

My bet is that it still has an awfully low skill ceiling compared to Melee, though, but I doubt it'll be as awful as Brawl was in that regard. On the plus side, though, we have PM to fill the void for competitive Smash!

I totally expect Diddy and Palutena for February.

March will be Yoshi (New Island release) and... Ice Climbers!

When exactly did Lucario get all this hatred? Why does everyone keep thinking his inclusion deconfirms Mewtwo? Why do people think he deliberately appeals to furries? Why? Why why why why why why why why why why.

So many whys, I don't know what to do with them.

I'm guessing that most of the Lucario hatred comes from the fact that most of those people posting were fans of Pokemon Red/Blue and don't like or care about the newer Pokemon.
 
The hate and negativity only makes Lucario's aura stronger tho. :0



Well allow me to use this on my self then. lol

lol.
I always have a hard time finding Ninty's other major characters of color. There's Wonder Black, and Anthony Higgs (is he major?) and then who else? Well other than Ganondorf as well.
