Wow, Pac-Man?

They now have the strongest video game mascots all in one game. It's like the anti-Playstation All-Stars Battle Royale.

Well, this is the FGW thread, with a lower volume of regular posters and the most hardcore group of fighting game enthusiasts on GAF... so when three people in a row are jumping ship for Smash, it makes me wonder if I'm missing something.

Nah, I misunderstood your post entirely.

Why isn't Smash considered a fighting game? Also, why isn't that new UFC not talked about? Isn't that a fighter? Just curious.

New UFC looks janky as Hell and Bruce Lee stuff is done pretty bad (and in bad taste at the press conference).

Really curious what Nintendo will do with the Chorus Men. I see they already have a bunch of characters (and even cut one in favour of just Charizard) where you control multiple characters at once, but this is potentially on a whole other scale. What if there is like ten of them at once? A lot of possibilities. I expect a lot of come-together-like-Voltron esque moves.

Pac-Man was already expected by me with Namco partnership and all. I do wonder what the final smash will be like.

Really nice to have the four biggest Japanese mascots from four different companies in one game.

I personally consider both of those fighters. I just don't care about the UFC game. It's pretty, but not looking like my sort of thing. It's up to people interested in the game to start up discussion.
 
ROB has the coolest alts in the entire Smash series.

Michael "TYP" Cole:
Q: what plans does Ninty have for the smash tourney scene?

7:49
Neal Ronaghan:
Sakurai doesn't work with the competive events directly. he loves the fans and will keep an eye on it


lol

EDIT:
7:50
Michael "TYP" Cole:
Sakurai is not involved in tourney planning. He was impressed with the enthusiasm for this game at today's tourney. He wants to support the scene by making more games like these.

I know. I'm just commenting on how horrible they looked in SFxT because you reminded me.

And? Nintendo did a fantastic job in bringing his old-school design to life. Capcom made a game-breaking, console exclusive character that was a joke.
Doing regular Mega Man in SFxT would have just stolen the spotlight from his Smash incarnation. They made something radically different that was still fun..

Game breaking, console locked, and hideous. I didn't find any of that fun, but I suppose that was par for the course.

So Capcom sacrificed the quality of one of their own game so their character could shine in a game they aren't even making?

Do you know how ridiculous that sounds? Oh wait don't answer that question... it's Capcom so OF COURSE they would do something as ridiculous as this. About as ridiculous as not having MM in UMVC3.

A competitive Smash player is trying to challenge Sakurai to see if he can win and help balance the game. Sakurai asked "have you ever made a game?"

not only hasn't he made a game, he's probably a shitty spider-man player too

I can't believe that was his response. Then again, who knows how the smash player asked the question. Might have been a dick.
