I saw this and thought of you. Thinking of me.
There you go.
Pokemon characters are the new Batman characters apparently.
Anyone else laugh at the "Play for Fun" and "Play for Glory" segment. Sounds like Final Destination only, no items will be standard tournament rules for competitive Smash. At least they gave different Final Destination tilesets.

Smash 4 best fighting game of 2014? Confirmed? Sorry USF4.

No, that's not gonna happen. FD is actually less neutral than a handful of other stages in both Melee and Brawl. I wish that it wasn't FD only for the "For Glory" mode, but at least the aesthetics change up.
worrrd
Those stage alterations are for offline play too? Like the "Final Destination mode"? It wasn't clear to me at least
I don't know if that is what will happen but that seems to be how Nintendo is pushing it. Like "For Glory" mode obviously appears to be their form of Ranked play with a stricter rule set. Wouldn't be surprised if they compile balancing data for competitive Smash from that mode.
Also anyone else think the 3DS version is going to be the beta testing version for the Wii U?

that's what 2 screens are for
The roster is going to be pretty ridiculous at this rate. I'm not even sure 2 would be enough.
He got Ragnarok .
They even put cammy in it.
Sakurai was like fuck it, give samus cammy moves
Nintendo is not familiar with shrinking character portrait icons?
This post makes no sense to me.
There's a limit to how far down you'd want to shrink them. Having multiple panes you slide between makes more sense than making everything super-tiny.
Super Street Fighter IV 3D Edition had 35 characters on 1 screen.
Top screen has the portraits, bottom screen has the customization options, simple.

The 3D effect will be used to layer character portraits on top of one another in vertical space.
edit: I just remembered how easily the Vita lets you select from Marvel 3's 50 characters. It won't be a problem.
You do realize that UMVC3 has 50 characters on one PSP Vita screen right?

SAY IT ENZO! SAY IT! SAY THAT THIS IS A TRUE MEGAMAN CROSSOVER HOMAGE!
Damn straight. You best wire up your hypothetical Wii U!
He didn't explicitly say. But it sure would be odd to make all of those stage alterations only for online play.
Why do you think Mewtwo is out?
People own a Vita beside Beef?

Smash 4 looks so godlike.
I think it was a mistake to not potentially try and get the Wii U version out by Summer, but hopefully Nintendo comes to Evo in some form with it.
I really hope it'll be competitive (certainly seems that way from what footage has shown) and if it comes out before Apex next year it'll be really interesting to see what happens with it (assuming it gets in).

Well they said Summer for 3DS and Winter for Wii U
Unless you're making jokes about Brawl delays lol
No, Sora Ltd is in Iidabashi.
Winter 2014 is December 21 through March 19, 2015.
They said Summer 2014 and Winter 2014 as welll
A Pretty Panda
fuckin' called it, man
But it includes Star Force Mega Man. Who cares about that guy?

Unless they are using winter very loosely, the window is Dec 21, 2014 to March 20, 2015, though.
When game companies use "winter" instead of "holiday", it almost always means Jan/Feb/Mar.
Just started watching part of the Direct and Sakurai mentions the Namco building specifically as the place of development, which was interesting.
I saw Spectator mode in there or at least some form of it.
You might want to fact check before posting a thread.
"Holiday 2014" would've been more definite for this year, but "Winter 2014" means that 2015 is likely.

While that may be true, what Nintendo considers competitive and what the Smash community considers competitive are not necessarily the same thing (unless Nintendo starts sponsoring tournaments, which is actually a legitimate possibility now).
I'm actually surprised the Nintendo went with something that strict, but like I said, at least the stages are different aesthetically, so I can't fault them too much for being conservative here.
For what it's worth Brawl had spectator mode. I only really expect 4 player lobbies for smash 4 with spectator
