I frankly think we won't get any more characters for the remainder of the week, and I wouldn't be surprised if that extends to the rest of February. We've been spoiled rotten as of late
Nah.. Diddy = friday

Little Mac versus donkey kong
I'M FINISHED!
Um exCUSE me Sakurai but CLEARLY the best choice for Smash Bros would be my fav niche character HOWEVER you are clearly INCOMPETENT and
I think I would rather have 5 new stages than 10 untouched old stages...

To be fair the only part of that that would be all that ridiculous is the 2000 trophies. Not that I'm expecting 60+ characters, but it could happen.

You can't successfully balance a fighting game with 60 plus characters.....

I totally agree, since there won't be HD remakes. Even then, 5 brand new stages would be superior

And Smash Bros. has never been known to have particularly amazing character balance. So...
Plus, UMvC3 managed to be balanced enough for 50 characters, with a decent team behind it I think they could pretty easily make a game approximately as balanced as Melee with 60.

"balanced enough"
>Hidden Missiles
>Zero
>Vergil
but then again team games actually allow characters to cover their weaknesses better than 1v1 games (alternatively known as "slap Doom on a scrub team and it'll be halfway decent cause lolmissiles")

A traditional fighter is mucn more straight forward and So what? Just because smash hasnt been well balanced in tne past doesnt mean they need to throw the baby out w/ the bathwater. That last part is a fucking Pipe dream and you know it, not to mention there are still only a few competitively viable chars in melee anyway.
With your remarks about Sakurai's decisions and comments like these, I feel you are particularly unqualified at judging whether Sakurai's choices are good or bad.
When looking for fighting games with good character balance, UMvC3 is NOT a game I would be looking to
Not that a fighting game has to be super balanced to be fun (though too little balance and the game will beer towards train-wreck territory) but it certainly helps and the larger the roster + more variables, the harder it is to balance.Masked Man
I said wow
For some reason I think we'll see Zelda in today's shot.
Don't care what anyone says but there are a few stages that NEED to come back in glorious HD.
-Hyrule Temple
- Onett
- Fountain of Dreams would look BEAUTIFUL
- Poke Floats (2)
- Lylat Cruise
We NEED
- New F-Zero Stage in Glorious HD
- Swapnote stage because Nikki
- Pushmo stage that works like Tetris
- Improved Pirate Ship
- New Wario Ware Stage
- W101 Virgin Victory flying around Blossom City
- etc.

Thanks. You said it better than me and less antagonistically.

I think were getting a new stage. Or maybe more shots of that kid icarus stage or Wii U

you have high hopes for a guy that thinks giving Link a meteor smash on his dairs could make him OP

Wii u KI stage WITH Palutena or bust
Edited for accuracy.
It's okay Victoria, maybe the game will be balanced by making the entire cast OP with 0 to death combos.
What better way than to make every character ridiculously powerful?

I would like to emphasize that I would definitely prefer a smaller roster with more balanced characters to a larger one with little-to-no character balance - Skullgirls is my favorite traditional fighting game for a reason, after all. All I'm arguing is that a 60+ character roster is somewhat possible. Likely? No. Possible? Yes.
I mean, what about the inevitable Smash Bros. 5? 6? The roster kinda has to expand as the precedent has been set for it to, and that would require a rather large roster eventually. And, given the choice, I think the team would prefer more characters to a more balanced game - they're selling the game primarily to a casual market, one that they can easily advertize new characters to. They... can't exactly advertize "excellent character balance!" to that market. Not nearly as well, anyway.
I'M FINISHED!
Um exCUSE me Sakurai but CLEARLY the best choice for Smash Bros would be my fav niche character HOWEVER you are clearly INCOMPETENT and
I'm curious to see what Sakurai decides to do. If he doesn't inject past stages with graphical steroids they are going to look nasty.

You don't know how smash 4 characters are currently balanced PR exactly what the physics are like so how do you possess knowledge of the context in which Link having a meteor smash would or wouldn't be OP when he made that comment, hm?

yeah but then people will complain about 0 to death combos, checkmate
also if I switch my avatar to Luigi, will you start calling me Luigi instead

Well you make a good point with the next iterations after 4 and 5 (3ds & wiiu, respectively) but since sakurai most likely won't be at the helm, it is a moot point.
We are talking about Sakurai attempting and wanting to create an actual balanced smash game for once and recognizing his short comings in the past. 60+ roster would be an enormous step back to that end
I think Blossom City with a battle in the background by the Virgin Victory and the GEATHJERK would be great. The battle might be able to hurt the fighters every now and then.
Too young.

I think Sakurai teaming with Namco Bandai "should" help with balancing characters even with the roster being big. They do a pretty damn good job with Tekken..in tourneys I regularly see an abundance of different characters in high rank fights or placing high in tourney play.
It's Japan we're talking about over here.

I feel like little Mac will ultimately be proof of namco bandai's positive fighting game experience influence over smash 4.
He dodges projectiles in multiple ways and has at least 2 or 3 moves with super armor for gods sake
Not to mention super meter

It was probably a 1 stock match, I really doubt that a CPU would be such a match....

Pic of the day. As shown in Little Mac's debut video, here is the height difference between Samus and Little Mac. He's used those mighty green gloves to punch out many challengers bigger than himself.
nothing new today
Usually these apparently uneventful pics have interesting commentary, let's see what Sakurai says...
EDIT:
