[SuperSah]

Wait, so we can't have low frequency item matches or high frequency?

Lmao, da fuq.

 

[Golnei]

And in the end the only DLC Smash got was more items.

Or maybe just a veteran. A fan item for $29.50 would be reasonable.

 

[Zubz]

Probably a technical issue (for the higher end of the option). I'm going to assume the Wii U version will have the same settings we know and love.

These 3DS technical limitations are really bumming me out. I mean, I hope the Wii U version still has the frequency switch, and maybe even a toggle for which Pokemon/Assists can be summoned, but I'm honestly beginning to doubt it.

And in the end the only DLC Smash got was more items.

So we at least get the Fan back? Minor win?

 

[chaosblade]

Wait, is there really no option to control item frequency? I liked low-item matches...

Yeah, when I have items on I always have them on low. Makes them more meaningful when they pop up.

 

[Roo]

Or maybe just a veteran. A fan item for $29.50 would be reasonable.

Would buy to be honest.

 

[PadWarrior]

Give me the thundercloud from mario kart wii and nintendo can take my money

 

[emb]

Yeah if that's your preference that's fine and I understand. But some people post it's inferior like its a fact.

Man, I always want to avatar quote you when we're talking about versions/controls.

But I do see what you mean, and I'm guilty of it pretty often.

And in the end the only DLC Smash got was more items.

Crossing my fingers. That would be great. Even more ignorable than extra costumes.

 

[The Bankslammer]

So, importers, how varied is the Mii Fighter customization? I haven't seen a list of all the costumes, but a few pics I saw looked pretty neat like that Woody one with the cowboy outfit.

Not particularly varied. For those curious, here's an outfit list:

Brawler:
Martial Artist's Uniform (Ryu/Ken sort of deal)
Kenpo Gi (Kinda Game of Death-esque)
Default Outfit
Powered Suit (Robotic exoskeleton, metal claws)
Protector Suit (Lots of padding, kinda like a football uniform)
Demon's Clothes (Fancy coat with lil wings on the back)
Rider Suit (Jacket, jeans, gloves with spike knuckles)

Swordfighter:
Pirate's Clothes (Piratey coat, cutlass)
Cyber Suit (Kinda Dead Space-ish armor, blue lasery sword)
Ninja's Clothes (Complete with scarf and ninjato)
Default Outfit
Neon Suit (Tron-esque, shiny laser sword)
Warrior's Armor (Samurai armor, katana)
Royal Armor (European-style armor, broadsword)

Gunner:
Western Clothes (Cowboy-ish, weird elongated six-shooter type thing)
Cocktail Suit (Suit, Other M-like arm cannon)
Steampunk Clothes (uh fuck how do i even describe steampunk stuff)
Dragon Armor (Really gaudy dragon-scale armor, dragon head arm cannon)
Default Outfit
Heavy Armor (Thick metallic padding, sorta Mega Buster like cannon)
Sorcerer's Clothes (Hooded robe, magic-y wooden arm cannon)

It's really not all that many, and a lot of more standard outfit types are missing.

 

[Beelzebufo]

Benefits
Retirement plan
Steady income
Job security
Chance to move up and promotions
Ability to support a family
Playing smash provide any of these?

But he's making money doing what he loves lol. That's the dream.

 

[Not75Drops]

Am I missing something or why is that image in English? Was it from the Treehouse demo?

Lol I've only been avatar quoted twice I think. I just realized I don't think I have you on any of my friend lists. You got room for one more?

 

[A Link to the Past]

Why the hell is there no item ratio switch? Jesus, what was Sakurai thinking with some of the design decisions for 3DS. Was it too difficult to implement??

 

[emb]

I do, but I'm gonna get another 3DS (probably 2DS technically) just as a Smash controller. So I couldn't tell you yet what my friend code will be for Smash.

 

[backlot]

Time constraints probably. This definitely seems like a low priority feature that could just fall off the end of development.

Okay cool you have wiiu yet? I can pm you my id.

Just skyrocketed Mii Fighter on my list with Rider Suit. Love me some Kamen Rider and I have always loved the biker leather coats. Gonna play this.

 

[Molemitts]

If there's no item frequency choice, and you only have 1 or 2 items selected to appear, will the appear proportionately, or will I just have a load of those few items appearing? If you understand my question.

 

[Dimmle]

It's not entirely that it's uncomfortable, it's just that it doesn't feel very good. It's not broken or unplayable. For the system it's on, it's completely serviceable and it works. My point is more that, if you don't mind waiting and you don't need mobile smash, you are totally better off waiting. For everything other than being able to take it anywhere you want, 3DS will be the inferior version. After waiting so long to play smash, playing the 3DS version wasn't satisfying, despite the game itself being really good. Even if I had bought the 3DS version, I'd still feel like I didn't really have "Smash" yet.

I could see a grip going a long way to making it better, but the screen, resolution, and just overall presentation leaves so much to be desired, in my opinion. I'm a maximizer though, I want the best I can get. Your mileage may vary.

Yeah, just from my experience with the demo I concur with these impressions. It's not nearly as satisfying as a console version with a suitable interface. The only reason I'm double dipping is to play with a group of friends a few months earlier. Smash Day is November 21st.

 

[Spinluck]

Wait, so we can't have low frequency item matches or high frequency?

Lmao, da fuq.

Sounds like a 3DS bottleneck.

No biggy though.

 

[Speedwagon]

Anyone with a Japanese copy feel free to add me: 2466-3986-7153

Added. I'll PM you my FC.

 

[emb]

Sounds like a 3DS bottleneck.

No biggy though.

"Item frequencies were running in the Wii U version, but due to the required hardware power, the team couldn’t make them work in the 3DS game."

Oh, and here's a summary of stuff from the past week if anyone hasn't been paying attention (well, aside from tournaments. Not sure why Zero vs Otori is mentioned).

 

[ffdgh]

so uh

has anyone posted that evidently you can't control the rate of items spawning on 3DS other than turning them On/Off?

Did we know this already? I just found out on Reddit. Kind of lame. My friends and I like to play with items on Low from time to time. :/

That's a bummer....

 

[SuperSah]

Sounds like a 3DS bottleneck.

No biggy though.

So, not even an option for low or normal then?

Don't tell me that low is a bottleneck too.

 

[Watch Da Birdie]

I swear I recall seeing the item switch was unlockable?

 

[superbank]

so uh

Where is this screenshot from? (probably the recent Treehouse stream) Can we confirm that the JP release has limited items?

 

[Golnei]

So, not even an option for low or normal then?

Don't tell me that low is a bottleneck too.

Perhaps they felt that the absence of a "high" setting would draw too much attention to the 3DS' lack of power. Though just a 'lowered' and 'standard' option shouldn't have looked too bad, if the Wii U version's settings used their normal names...

 

[Spinosaurus]

The more I see Little Mac the more I feel like he actually captures the spirit of being in a boxing match. He seems like a character that you should not be reckless with. Proper footwork (spacing in this case), a sharp mind and dodging maneuvers are key. A character where you absolutely do not want to get hit as. The stage is the ring, going off stage is a down you can't afford.

Exaggerating obviously and not being exactly specific here, but as a boxer myself, I'm exited to try him out.

 

[Dragoshi1]

I can confirm for the JP version you cannot alter "spawn rates" of items. It's just like that screencap.

 

[LAA]

Anyone know the benefits to playing SSB on new 3DS?

I know know you can use stuff like miiverse, Internet browser in background, guessing it closes without rebooting 3DS and extra circle pad support, but is there any in game pluses?

 

[zroid]

pretty lame regarding the item frequency settings

oh well

My Mii can be a Samurai?! YEAH!

 

[Alfredo]

Looks like I'll probably be playing with Items Off on the 3DS, for the most part. I liked turning off certain items and them putting the spawn rate on low.

In the demo, items seemed to spawn too frequently. I'm hoping that turning certain items off will make it a little more bearable for me, but I guess I'll find out soon.

 

[Golnei]

My Mii can be a Samurai?! YEAH!

So if Kamiya has the biker outfit and Sakurai is a samurai, what should Kojima wear? The cowboy outfit?

 

[PadWarrior]

I don't know what female character I want to use for super bash sisters.

 

[PokéKong]

I feel like item frequency is definitely something we can hope for patching in. This ain't the Brawl age where we just gotta take what we get from Nintendo, games like Pikmin and Mario Kart are getting new content and features and small fixes to their design nearly a year after release.

 

[DaBoss]

Uhh, a 100-hour stream does not mean Zero himself will stream for 100 hours. They are going to cycle between people. I know you will see Vex at times playing. I think others appear as well, but I haven't seen anyone else in a while.

 

[ffdgh]

I don't know what female character I want to use for super bash sisters.

Go for regular Samus.

 

[Blizzard]

These 3DS technical limitations are really bumming me out. I mean, I hope the Wii U version still has the frequency switch, and maybe even a toggle for which Pokemon/Assists can be summoned, but I'm honestly beginning to doubt it.

Are you beginning to doubt the frequency switch is there, when it was there at E3 in the Wii U version? Why would they remove that after publicly demonstrating it in a tournament?

 

[PadWarrior]

Go for regular Samus.

I was thinking about her, any word on how good she is? I know in brawl she only had like 2 kill moves lol

 

[Spinosaurus]

I don't know what female character I want to use for super bash sisters.

Join the Puff club!

 

[PadWarrior]

Join the Puff club!

Not gonna lie she always made me laugh in the toon lol

 

[astrogamer]

So if Kamiya has the biker outfit and Sakurai is a samurai, what should Kojima wear? The cowboy outfit?

I feel either the Heavy Armor or cocktail suit would fit him better

 

[Mr. Smiley]

aww, I thought I was being a wee-bit original with a Sakurai, Kamiya, Kojima Mii Fighter trio

 

[Kodeman]

Has anyone else tried local, 4 player matches yet? Some co-workers and I got codes and tried to have a play session but the lag was unbearable. All our consoles were updated, and we were sitting within a few feet of each other. We even rotated hosts to no avail.

Has anyone been covering this? We were all planning on picking this up day1, but now we're pretty hesitant. That type of multiplayer functionality isn't something that should change from the demo to final release, and as it stands it's unplayable.

He's very good if you know how to work with him. I played him at an event and he's fantastic fun.

But yeah, once he's off stage, he's done for.

 

[Hatchtag]

Sonic with equipment granting him +169 speed and a Smash Run item that ups his Smash Run speed stat to 1000 for a short period of time.
I went fast.
I went damn fast.

Dat 3DS limitation

Yeah, it suck that we can't control the amount of items but I'm okay with that tho.

 

[exfatal]

did you go super sonic?

 

[PreyingShark]

Sonic with equipment granting him +169 speed and a Smash Run item that ups his Smash Run speed stat to 1000 for a short period of time.

I went damn fast.

Did that cause any lag or camera issues, or did you just get pure blissful speed?
