Super Smash Bros. for 3DS & Wii U Thread 8: Put mii in, coach

I'm about 80% sure that if the game on the show floor was simply a build of Melee with SSB4 assets pasted in, we'd still be hearing reports that PLAYTESTING DOESN'T LOOK GOOD, WORSE THAN BRAWL?????
 
I thought the gameplay looked great. Smash becoming a purely competitive fighter would probably kill the series in reality. I appreciate it being a party game that can be played competitively, and don't want it to be too technical.

That being said, I hope they can tighten and polish everything up in order to have a technically great game.

amazing
 
Well it is still on development, I'm sure they can tweak a thing or 2 while it releases...

It seems the tournament was really successful right?
 
The Fire Hydrant is such an unexpected design choice. Where exactly is it from?

There's still something about that Palutena WiiU model that doesn't seem right to me. Dunno.

Something with her hair, I think. I have such a weird love/hate relationship with the color direction for this game, lol.

I dunno. People would still find something to complain about of course, but movement is kinda a big deal in Melee and a big reason why it has such a large audience.
 
At the very least it looks like Sakurai has made the single player elements in the 3DS version far more interesting and pick-up-and-play, good for a Smasher like me who enjoys the single player offerings of the franchise.

He's alongside Pacman in the end of the video, if he wasn't playable (as if that makes any sense) he wouldn't be there at all.

He's also sporting a strange, thin design there, which would be weird if they just made it for that trailer.

He's Smash's first original character so he's probably around to stay.

Nah Palutena seems to have a default move set but instead of slight variations to said moves she has 3 unique moves for each slot ala Mii Fighters. The difference is that mii fighters not only have custom moves but custom outfits, faces, and names. There is nothing to stop someone from using a name and mii something inappropriate. It looks like Sakurai doesn't want the Mii Fighters to have a default look and for online play he's trying to make everything default for ease of use. Combine that with the possibility of inappropriate names/faces/outfits and it was probably to make then a trio of extras.

Oh that does sound likely. Phew. I sure hope that's the case.
 
After reading the KDJ's impressions I'm getting pretty depressed. At least we'll be getting new GC controllers to keep playing melee with.

Melee was both and it was perfect.

This is a bit silly. Melee has been played for over a decade and its mechanics have been studied in very high detail. players would absolutely be able to notice.

There's tweaks to facial structure, but it's pretty much spot on with her Uprising art.

honestly by the character model, she seems to be the least polished out of all of them i have this feeling they just released her while still working on her ( im hoping she will have more facial expressions and what not)

He wasn't referring to majority of Smash players in the first place.

But he is saying that the people who enjoy it (Smash) the most have to care about that list of advanced mechanics. There are a whole lot of other things in Smash besides the physics to love. I love the music, the ATs, the voice acting, the references for one. The commentators didn't even know who Dillon was when he apperad, Smash can bring in people who love the competitive scene or people who love Nintendo trivia and history more. Neither has less love of the game compared to the other.

I agree completely. It's the elitist attitude that's holding them back as a community and this kind of schism doesn't help create an enjoyable atmosphere for newcomers and veterans alike.

The worst offenders are those who believe they're a centrifugal part to the metagame and ruleset when they really aren't. There's really no reason to talk down or create an uncomfortable environment for people who enjoy the same things, albeit in different ways.

DK isn't playable in the demo right? I want to see his.

Not sure if you are asking about Dk's FS specifically but it is the same. I saw it with my own eyes. Only difference is the bongo notes/beats scroll past the screen for easier timing.

I am so exhausted right now. Today was so awesome for Nintendo fans. While we waited in line for tournament we watched the direct and all you heard were roars everywhere. I played a good 6 matches of Smash and the tournament itself was so hype inducing, the crowd roaring and chanting was infectious. Being in the 2nd row with all the cosplayers was a blast.
 
Can we just wait for this game to be about before deciding "it's TURRIBLE everyone go back to melee/project m" -.-

FFS this game is STILL IN DEVELOPMENT and even the worlds greatest smash players aren't going to get a truly great feel for how the game plays in the short time they had to practice before the invitational tournament. All that list really shows is that "it not a clone of melee, and it's not a clone of brawl".
 
Man, why didn't the Kirby player try to eat WFT/Mega Man/Villager/Greninja?

Any of those hats been seen in the demos?

The newer "thin" Mr. Game & Watch actually looks closer to the real characters from the G&W games.

Looking at it more closely they're not actually too different, the lack of outline might just be throwing me off.

But yeah, I wouldn't be too surprised to see G&W be tweaked a bit to look closer to the sources.

Wow fuck that. One of if not the worst FS in Brawl returns. Would've taken Rambi or arcade DK transformation or practically anything over that.
 
If you import a Japanese 3DS, can you still download games off the eshop despite being a filthy baka gaijin american? I'm strongly considering doing that.
