Between EXVS and Tekken Tunes on TTT, Namco the custom soundtrack GOAT

I'm pretty sure a lot of the Smash community doesn't like anything
"Punch a woman" and "I'm Sho-RYU-CAN'T TOUCH THIS SKILL" are the only things I even remember from that song.
opinions, I guess? imo it's shit. should've been remixed char themes or, better yet, in-de-structible
All of this is absolute, dismissive garbage and you know it. Comments like these are the reason why conversations like this don't advance much. Stop thinking squarely about Melee itself and consider the actual, quality, gameplay principles that have been excised or constrained since Melee and then say something intelligent. This would be like me saying "People just like Smash 4 because it's Smash." It's unsympathetic, logically uncharitable and ultimately plain dumb to evaluate people's opinions that way.

I wonder how many new people will join the community due to Smash 4. That's basically what got Marvel 3 and SF4 off the ground despite early naysayers.
Okay, yeah, that's sweet. I bet they held it back from MK9 deliberately.
This drives me nuts about Xrd. The tracks aren't bad, but none of them have the impact of the previous games... They're somehow subdued and meandering by comparison, and there isn't a strong base theme to be found; just hints or nods to older ones thrown in here and there.
I feel like his work on Blazblue is somehow responsible for this.
I hope they don't nickle&dime the old tracks too hard.But if they do my wallet is guaranteed free
Yeah, like I said it's not bad, but it's not hype like Ky's or Millia's themes. Or Sol VS. Ky or Johnny VS. Millia, etc, etc. I never knew I had a taste for rock until I played the XX series.
Glad someone else agrees, I was beginning to think it was just me. Everytime I mention it no one comments.
Eh. It's good and has its moments, but it's not training mode music for me.
I understand the comments about stiffness regarding dashes, run and walk animations, but outside those, I've always been fond of the animation details in this and the last game, at least.
Just some people. The negativity speaks much louder than the people that like the new Smash.

If they're sponsoring, I expect 4 to be a main game and Melee to be a side game not part of the main lineup.

but ... my ps4 has been collecting dust :l
Just to Verify- I know you guys are doing PC, but are there plans to put PC out close to the same date? (I don't mind a 1-2 week delay, but 2 months is kinda silly)
MKX might be the first MK game I actually try to learn due if the PC version gets proper treatment.
How am I not surprised.

Does it make you enter a credit card like in the US?
Eh, you probably made the right decision, I've replaced everything now except Rhythm Emotion, White Reflection and Eternal Wind. And of those I think only RE is Premium G.

I'd wager that not that many. Brawl didn't sell that much more than Melee even though it was released in the Wii's heyday and in better economic times.
It's going to bring in a lot of new people. Brawl's competitive scene, when it was up and running, was largely comprised of newer players that joined the Melee scene late, or never played a Smash game competitively at all.
The only time I recognize anyone when I drop by our local scene is if people are playing Melee.
*edit*
Oh, and it should be worth noting that people that used to play Brawl, essentially play Melee/Project: Melee, now. The "Melee players don't like anything that's not Melee." crowd can twist that however they want.

Better economic times? Brawl released in 2008, squarely within the economic recession.
Not that it matters, as game sales and other forms of escapist media aren't harmed as much during a recession.

I'd wager long before. 99' -01'.
Can you use actual numbers?
Because what I've seen was that Brawl eclipsed Melee's lifetime sales in its first month of release, and lifetime has sold almost 11+ million compared to Melee's 7+ million.
If there are better numbers out there, I'd be curious to see them, I've not found anything backed by NPD.

Oh that's not what I meant, I just want the extra music slots to put my own music into hahaha.
Oh shit, you don't get the slots? That suuuuuuuuuucks.

"Better economic times"? lmao
A better argument would be the Wii U's install base, but even then you don't need a big one to bring in players.

hi prog
This. If we're going by community, the sales between the games won't be the number one factor. Going by community, a lot of people are probably going to jump on Smash 4 since it's their chance in going something new if they never got into competitive Melee or Brawl back in the day.
Edit: Hi prog
Prog is a okay fella

So many good comebacks to
. Gems, X-factor, Auto Combos, Rage etc. Damn. Prog is so on point though. I think the Smash community are fine anyway. They've stuck together for years whilst being crapped on yet at the same time, been the most inviting and open.
What is it with boxers having an Aerial Recapture!?

For me, it's all that, plus the jumping animations and falling from juggles, and the transitions animations between all these actions is what is really stiff to me.
The actual animations of specials and moves are cool, and I guess good for the most part and look smooth. Like transitioning from normals back to neutral looks off to me for some reason.
idk. Something is always off with the animations for me in MK games.
The models look good. Though part of me thought they would look better.
