Fighting Games Weekly | June 9-15 | Q Bomb is Top Tier
- Thread starter enzo_gt
- Start date
Melee is one of the most hardcore fighting games and has a lot of technical skill (someone post that Fox inputs gif), so if people think Smash 4 looks good I'm not surprised that people want to jump to it.
And as I'm saying that Sakurai says Smash is a party game. Shit, lol.

he probably considers Melee a party game too

Doesn't he consider Melee a mistake in many ways with respect to balancing or something?

These are 10 times better than Neo's dog shit clothes. Nice designs, I might buy some.
I know this comes off kind of shill-ish, but I'm only one dude. Either way, I made some new shirts for the FGC.

I believe his sentiment in the past is that he'd rather make newer Smashes a bit more accessible. No shade on Melee
I don't question Melee's status at all. It's absolutely a technical game. I'm just saying that Smash 4 doesn't really seem like a "replacement" for current mainstays. Why can't you play both? Also, there seems to be some comparisons to Brawl, which is a huge negative.
The Invitational itself didn't really seem like a great showcase for the competitive player... but people were responding positively so I wanted to know why. I seriously wanted to know if I just was just being obtuse and missing something.

Melee may not accessible to new comers in the competitive sense but it is easy to jump in for any casual player.

Oh yeah I think he's wrong, it just has a higher skill ceiling which isn't a bad thing.
Quite the opposite surprisingly. He's gone on record more than once stating that Melee is the sharpest game in the franchise and the game he's most proud of making out of all the games he's had a hand in. Which is funny given the stances he's taken with the successive games.
That all said, this dude was chucking Niitsuma level flames.
People jumped ship to Brawl when it first came out, but then moved back to Melee after sometime because they felt Brawl was shit. I think this is similar.
Please provide a link. I don't remember him ever saying that.

From the round table. Now we know how Palutena works. Though I don't understand how Palutena will work in For Glory if she can't modify her attacks at all.
That actually is a real issue. You need to limit the number of buckets/options for online play, or else you splinter your playerbase too much and matches don't fire.
Can you explain this variation/customization stuff?
It seems as clear as mud right now, trying to put the information we got at the Smash direct with this new information.

Doesn't look very fun, especially compared to all of the other newcomers. Need that ghost mechanic/move detailed.

It's good that they picked this design.

This might be my least favourite Roster from a Smash game (next to 64 because it was pretty small)
Glad Ike/Marth are in it though. Please give me Dr. Mario back

I think it's just that you have your 4 specials:
Up
Down
Left/Right
Neutral
There are 3 options for each input. Example:
Mario can choose fast, laser-like fireballs for Neutral B.
He can choose his classic fireball for Neutral B.
Or he can choose a heavy, slow, multi-hit fireball for Neutral B.
Most of the characters have attack variations like this (slower/heavier, etc.), but instead Palutena has radically different attacks to choose from, like the pillar of light vs. explosive. So she won't be Dormammu-like, where she's choosing from a massive repertoire of attacks beforehand. She's just much more customizable than other characters. She still has 4 specials in-fight.
If you don't get an alt Mario costume it's such a ridiculously easy missed opportunity.This might be my least favourite Roster from a Smash game (next to 64 because it was pretty small)

Character customization:
http://www.smashbros.com/us/howto/entry2.html
Edit: It looks like all characters can equip "gear", too, and this changes their gameplay. Check it out: you can equip items to boost speed. Maybe Smash 4 competitive will have all characters at maxed speed as the default for faster play.

but pac-man
I'm now very worried that this is going to screw the game over when this stuff isn't used in competitive play, because the game is built around letting you use it.
See : SFxT gems.

I wouldn't say the game is built for this usage. All of this is disabled in "For Glory" mode and random online play.
Also, the Smash community clearly gives 0 shits about how Sakurai intends for the game to be played.
Yeah, but if you have to "slow down" the default speed to make the items worth it... its an issue.I wouldn't say the game is built for this usage. All of this is disabled in "For Glory" mode and random online play.

What the dissidia
Where're you getting that implication from?

Palmer Luckey is a god damned smash player
Sonic been had a divekick though.
It's a design paradigm issue. When you're allowing this stuff in local play, it affects where you want to set the baseline at. SFxT definitely had this issue, and its why customization (beyond controlled options like Marvel or MKX) is a dangerous thing, because it encourages you to push those baselines down a notch so that people are encouraged to use these things to power themselves up in their games at home. Not trying to be Chicken Little, I just hope they're able to avoid that trap.
I missed this, got a link? (If there is one of some kind of archive). Curious about it considering the Giant Bomb guys in general don't care for Smash much.
Interesting. Hopefully she can easily change her moveset when selecting her or something instead of outside the character select screen.
I'd rather not do that over and over again.
Burned so hard I needed a Maximum Tomato to come back and post this.
